Description
Busy fun family of 5. 1 6 year old son, 15 year old daughter and a 13 year old daughter. I am a nurse and my husband is a miner. We are always busy taking kids to football, hockey, cheer and school sports. When we aren't working or at the kids sports we can be found at our lake house skiing, wakeboarding, tubing or swimming. We are a laid back quiet bunch who enjoys good food and company. We have a small breed dog jack Russell named Ben whom we all love and adore. We enjoy the outside weather on the lake puttering in my garden or building a deck. We always have something going on.
We live in a 5 bedroom 4 level split home with a beautiful yard in walking distance to all ammenidies in the city of Martensville, Saskatchewan Canada which is 8 minutes from the city of Saskatoon. Martensville has many walking paths and sites to view and explore as well as sports centres swimming pool and places to shop.
