That's Amore

When the moon hits your eye, like a heart shapped pizza pie, that's amore! You bet. Here are some heart shaped pizza, I made. Oh, they were tasty. Here's the littlest valentine of the household. He is holding his valenitne pkg from school. He made it, all by himself. There is not only lots of paper valentines, but tons of valentine candy in it too! Happy Valentines Day Everyone.

Swimming at -30C?


Yup! Crazy eh? It was -30C with the wind chill, a blizzard warning, and a snowfall warning and the school still didn't cancel swimming lesson. Oh well, by looking at these photos you can tell someone is happy with that decision. I must be turning into a local because I drove in that stupid storm to take these photos. I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

My First Puck Toss


Wow this was fun. It was my first puck toss. These are sponge pucks and you (or in this case, my kid) tossed it onto the ice. Of course the object is to try and get it as close to the center circle as possible. But boy it doesn't take much for the puck to roll. The winner got $139.00. That wasn't won by our family, however, someone on our team won it. Lucky ducks.

He Scores in the Shoot Out!


Dawson was the only one to score on this goalie, who by the way, had a shut out in this game. (Which is not hard to do with our team.) Our poor guys. They don't have much luck these days. They either loose (by lots) or they tie. But they have fun. Tournaments are such fun. This tournament was held in Strasbourg. It was a nice little town north of the city. We have been there the last 2 weekends. Wish us luck for this weekend. Dawson plays goalie. Definetly not his strength. ( At least they stop counting the score at 6.) Last time he was goalie, he let in 12 goals! They stopped counting that game at 8. Were practicing in the basement this week, with the goalie equipment.

January 2008

Happy New Year. I bet you had thought I ended this blog. Nope. Just taking an extended leave to celebrate a wonderful year. My first year of blogging. Hooray! I did it.
Had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Auntie Carol just returned home to the Yukon, after a great visit here with us. Dawson's hockey is crazy now. Hockey every weekend till the End of February. Projects keeping me busy include: self improvement, sewing a sleeping bag for Dawson's teddy bear, work (London Drugs), and cooking. Yes, you read cooking,and menu planning and Tae Bo exercises.
Will post some more photos soon. j.

Small Town Rink

Well this post brings me and Dawson such joy and excitement. He couldn't sleep on Friday night. Our first hockey road trip. (Even though it was only 20 minutes down the highway.) What a nice arena. Dawson said it was so cold on the ice, his toes froze. We get the opportunity to go again this weekend and we will throw on some thicker socks for Dawson's feet this time, Brent will wear long underwear and I will bring a blanket. Oh yeah, we lost our game 3-2! J.

One Big Bear




Here is my little guys with his Teddy Bear for one of his favorite events the Regina Pats hold. It is called Teddy Bear toss . When the pats score their first goal everyone tosses their bear out onto the ice. They are all collected and the Pats then give them out to the children who are sick in the hospital. It took Dawson 3 tries to get his bear over the glass. If you look close you can see his bear on the ice. j.
