Ally Soccer 2012

Ally played U8 soccer this year and her team won the gold medal!  I coached for some of the season but missed the last two weeks (including playoffs ) because of our trip.  Janae took some awesome pictures and emailed them to me to keep me in the loop.  These kids were so fun and so good - I'm not a competitive person but it was fun to watch them run circles around their opponents ;)

Ally's Piano Recital

Aunt Janae took these beautiful pictures of Ally at her first piano recital.  Ally played "Indian Dance."  It's the first song she actually practiced...alot.  The ice cream eating was the after-recital reward :)

Golden, BC

We made a recent trip to Golden, BC to go camping.  We went with three other couples and between the four families, there were 15 kids under the age of 10.  The girls had a ton of fun.

Grace playing on the beach :)

Our friend Amber and her daughter Rebecca. This nice couple who live in Golden offered to let us use their kayaks.



I fell in love with this tree!!!!!  I need one in my yard.



Ally took this picture while having lunch at the Tourist Centre in Kananaskis on the way home.  This picture was suppose to show how busy the Centre was.  There were trailers, cars and RV's everywhere!



We love the  mountains!!



Mother's Day Weekend

I had the best Mother's Day weekend ever!  I felt the need to extend Mother's Day to a full weekend :)  Friday night and most of Saturday, Warren slaved away building me the most beautiful raised garden beds (He also took a huge load to the dump, worked on the fence and shoveled compost out of the truck for me :)  I can't wait to plant asparagus, carrots, lettuce, peas, beans, zuchinni, strawberries and raspberries next week!  On the actual "big day,"  Warren made me eggs, toast and a smoothie.  We enjoyed all three meals on the patio.  My gift this year was two lounge chairs for the deck.  Ally was not as pleased with the gift as she always thinks jewellry is the right gift.  Smart girl.

We also bought the girls a trampoline and set it up this weekend.  Warren was an extremely busy guy!  So far we've only had two or three injuries on the trampoline.  Not bad for the first day.  The girls enjoyed playing "tag" with two soccer balls on the trampoline.  It's kinda big and kinda ugly but we think it will result in hours of entertainment!

Easter 2012

Easter pictures!  Better late than never!  Aunt Janae came to visit us and colored eggs with the girls.

April Fools 2012

This year I decided to trick Ally on April Fools Day.  I made her "jello" juice, yogurt and peach eggs and just 'ole regular toast.  Doesn't it look real?????
