I can finally blog with my razr. I downloaded Operamini and here I am posting from my phone. I had some trouble and had to use the high memory version on my v3c. Now it works much better then the built in browser!

Wedding preparations have begun!
Our wedding is planned for next summer but we have nothing really started yet. I just posted on the nf.general newsgroup for some loaction suggestions. The following is the message I left:
Hi all,
We are looking at getting married next summer and would like some suggestions.
What we want to do is “go away” to get married and come back home the following week for the reception/dance part.
By “go away” we mean that we want to leave our home town here on the South Coast and go to a nice, possibly secluded place where we can have our immediate families join us somewhere on the island of Newfoundland.
Some locations I have contemplated are Woody Island Resort and Blue River Lodge. Any other suggestions?
Some considerations we have in mind… She doesn’t want to have to do anything but be tended on and look pretty, and I agree. Hair and makeup, photography, cake, minister in an all inclusive package would be great.
Our guest list will be around 30 people including us. Almost half of those will be our nephews and nieces ranging from 1 year old to 17 years old and everywhere in between. It consists of 9 to 10 people/families who may want their own separate room(s).
The wedding is to be on a Saturday and the booking would likely be from Friday to Sunday for most. Possibly longer for some of us if it’s a good location with lots nearby for the kids to enjoy.
If you know of anywhere in Newfoundland and could share it with us I would greatly appreciate it. If you are a business owner and want to contact me feel free to do so.
My email is renejeddore@gmail.com.
I hope to be able to visit some locations this year before I make our final choice.
Thanks for your time!
Rene and Siobhan

If anybody has any suggestions they want to give us feel free to leave a comment (if the comments haven’t been turned off due to spam) or email us at renejeddore@gmail.com.
I will put up more information here as we figure it out ourselves.
The party the following week will likely be open to all of our relatives and friends that we have known over the years.

Snowmobile Video from Danny
My friend Danny McDonald went snowmobiling out on the West coast a few days ago. They had some trouble with ice in one area and a couple guys went for a slide.
Enjoy!

We finally got a snowmobile ride!
For the first time in two years me and Siobhan were able to get out for a snowmobile ride together. We had a great day and had a bit of fun on our machine. We travelled with Danny and Angel and did a bit of exploring. On our way home we lucked into a small drift that hadn’t been touched yet and decided to leave our mark. We both had Polaris Edge Touring machines so we never flew quite as far as we might have otherwise. I’m keepng my eyes open for a cheap little toy for playtime in the future. 🙂
It was a great day!
The winter has been turning out to be a good one. Vehicles have been on the ice for over a week now and I’ve been out playing around in my CR-V and truck a few times. Real nice way to get to St. Alban’s. The road is actually plowed the whole way from Conne to St. Alban’s.
Last weekend me and Cory hit the ice in my Honda CR-V for some fun. Cory took the following video of me after I hit a drift and damaged the exhaust (which Siobhan already beat up while four wheeling one night). Lots of fun to be had on smooth ice!

This was supposed to be posted yesterday but I never had a chance.
I am now oficially 30 (plus 1 day). Unfortunately both Siobhan and Nicholas are sick with the cold. Lots of fevers and coughing going around. Nicholas got hit pretty hard and lost his voice yesterday before my family showed up for my birthday party.
Siobhan managed to make a fantastic meal and cake for us all to enjoy despite being sick. I got to spend a whole lot of time with my boy! Too bad he was sick, but I can’t think of anything esle I would rather do then try and make him laugh even if it involves putting a stainless steel bowl on my head and hitting it with a wooden spoon. Unfortunately he didn’t find it too funny, Siobhan seemed to enjoy it though.
So, I’m 30? Anymore grey hairs?? Dunno, got them all shaved off last week! Do I feel older? Maybe more like 17 instead of 16 now, but definately not 30. 🙂
Our sick boy.
My cake!
The boys playing with toys and games
Brayden is sick as well
Me and my cake! Thanks again Siobhan!!!
Later all!

They say Kids change a person…
I guess it’s true. I ate my first half of a Kiwi today after feeding Nicholas the first half. It was pretty good… I didn’t fancy the seeds though.

Nicholas had his first snowmobile ride a few days ago. He never had a problem with it and we went about 1 kilometer all together. If it wasn’t so windy we would have gone longer.
Another plow truck went off the road. This one looked a bit more serious though. Thanks Jody for the picture!
Last, but not least, Melissa Drake’s Dad almost got flattened. He got out of the way in time, unfortunately the truck didn’t fare so well!
