Hockey is over for another year

Sping is here, finally. Hockey is over. The weekend was lots of fun but man oh man am I tired this week.

7 games is less then 3 days. We all survived with only one issued. A tire blew on the van on the way to Melissa's Gold Medal game on Sunday.

She made it for the last half of her game and got her medal.

Winter Fun Trip

Wow what a trip. Jamie and I left early for Lake Louise in Banff National Park around noon on Friday. We kept hearing that it was a bad storm but truthfully we didn't think it was that bad until we were on the highway…. Man alive I actually took pictures as we were driving…. We stopped counting cars off the road at 140 partly because it was getting even more hairy driving and partly because it was getting dark and you couldn't see them.

It took a long time but we managed to arrive in Lake Louise and get check into our room safely. the drive should have atken about 4 and a half hours took us 8 but again we made it safe.

Made some Puppy treats last night

Charlie is happy with me I made him some Peanut Butter puppy treats last night. They turned out okay for a first try. Next time I will use more Peanut butter and cook them a bit longer, then let them cool in the oven so that they crisp up.

The basic recipe I used was found here. I will take soem picture later and add them to this post

Can you beleive that it is fall again

Although with our weather this week you would never know that fall is here. 31C yesterday. Thank goodness we haven't taken the air conditioner out yet.

School has started. the first day was great both and Mac and Megan are enjoying their new teachers. Beside the bus being very late the first day things were okay.

Today has been a busy day. I made some bran muffins with chocolate chips and some cinnamon buns. I used the bread recipe from the down to earth webisite

Charlie

You guessed it we went out and got a new dog. Charlie's dad a was chocolate lab and his mom was a irish border collie. Charlie was going to be named Cadbury but he kids thought Charlie was better. I have started calling him Charlie bear.

Ball Hockey Sprin 2009

Mac played a bit of ball hockey this spring, he didn't really enjoy it and we found that he was more interested in playing hockey with the neighbourhoood kids then going to his games.

Next year he will not be registered. He had fun at the games he went to.

Roxanne 1997 - 2009 RIP

It has been sometime now since we had to put our loving girl to rest. She is missed by all of us.
