A lot of firsts...

.... Last Friday... Janae had her 1st dance...can you believe it... she, however, stayed overnight at a friends so by the time she made it home.. she was not so excited which meant she was less talkative....and closed lip... but I got it out of her that she did dance... with a boy... and it was even a slow dance... but that's all she's disclosed.

....This Friday...Janae lased up the hockey skates for the first time in 5 years (she played one year of initiation hockey when she was in Kindergarten) ...so far she seems to like it...she is still blister free but doesn't know how stop that well....

--- Today Tyrell made it to Sherwood Park Archery Lanes.... where he got to shoot his new bow... had a great time... with a buddy... but the guy said his shooting pattern was a bit "scary" - what the heck does he think... I told him it was his first time sheesh!!!

Now.... I need to get the picks...loaded!!!!

It's a tie

Hoping for braggin' rights... but it ended as a a tie... had a great night golfing with friends... after golfing we had a couple of matches at "draw master" - and it's apparent... I may need a little practice......

1st Dance!!!

All the excitement.... Janae is in bed.... getting lots sleep before the big dance!!! Ty's not so excited... doesn't want to go with crutches!! hopefully he changes his mind :(

2 in hockey!! will I survive!!!

The only year that I didn't ask......Janae decides that she is going to play hockey.... tonight was our first meeting... and of course... I voted to play in east central league... (closer to the Saskatchewan relatives....) but oh no!! were playing in the north central league... as far away as Innisfail.... good think I have family down there!!!! LOL

Work is busy... I barely have time to think.... but tonight I got out for a little stress break and did a 35 min run.... (Oh.. I need to lessen the load) .... but still managed to do 5/1 intervals!!!

Janae's first dance... on Friday... and it's like the good old days... when you could say.... If your not good "Santa won't come".... now we say... if your not good you "won't be going to the dance"!!!

5 weeks....

It's been 5 weeks since I have had an update.... Schools back in.. and were trying to get back into routine!!!

So here's a quick update....

Ty's on crutches!!!! he broke a bone in his foot the first week back to school...... playing flag football in phys ed... hit a gopher hole... and bent it over!!!! he does not have a cast... but has strict orders to have no weight bearing on his foot... as the bone may continue to break...and possibly break off!!! which would result in a bigger problem!!!

Janae decided to play hockey!!! (I'm excited for her) She came home from school and said..."me and Megan are playing hockey." so needless to say... the bank account is empty!!!!!

Opa is doing good.... his sister from Holland was here for 10 days... and was able to spend some time with her brother and the rest of us!!! She is such a neat lady...... lives in Amsterdam.... and works with ill patients ... just like Opa...

Ty - spent his hard earned money on a bow... and has been spending some time at the doc's practicing!!!

Janae - is continuing to do pedicures!! she's better than the pro's
