Golf Time, lol

I have been a hockey fan for as long as I can remember. I thought this year was going to be the year that my team, The Canucks, would make it to the end and take home the cup.

Well not to be :( Instead it is golf time for the team.
This is why I decided to put together an Etsy feature about golf. Pretty good timing too I think with Fathers Day just around the corner.

I hope you enjoy these golf related items as much as I did. The links for the items are just below the pictures

Happy Golfing!!

Slime, Goo worms and scrapbooking

The last few days have been fun. Yesterday Brendan had a blast ball game, seriously funny to watch, the kids go every which way but where they are supposed to. They have a blast so it's all good.

Then of course it's playoff season for the Canucks, so after the game I raced home only to be disappointed. They lost, one of the most frustrating games I have watched in quite some time. Go Canucks Go.

Trevor had a game today, he is getting so much better, I am really proud of him. I see improvements every game and practice but more importantly I see his confidence growing as well.

In between all that we had an evening making slime and goo worms. Trevor received a goo kit for his birthday, it's teaches little science experiments regarding how and why the goo worms and slime came to be. I was expecting it to be really messy but it really wasn't and they had a blast.

I was also able to find a few minutes to get some scrapbooking done. Here is my first of many Olympic layouts.

Cheers

A wonderful weekend

This past weekend was a blast!
On Friday evening after realizing that we dropped Trevor onto a ballteam and didn't teach him the fundamentals I decided to spend the evening with him one on one going over all that is baseball.
He had a team practice on Thursday and I kept looking at him on this team full of kids roaring to play and just kept thinking he looked like a deer in headlights, then my own headlight or lightbulb went off. Although he had played tee-ball for 2 years they never taught him the game and neither did we, and here we (Rory and I) just expected he would know the terminology and plays, poor kid.
After about 45 minutes it started to pour, he didn't care, he just was happy to learn the game.

Saturday we kept up with the baseball theme and headed to the batting cage. Trevor has been hit by a few pitches and now has a fear of the ball, the batting cage was my way of trying to get him past that fear. I am happy to say after watching his practice tonight that I think it was a success.

On Sunday we decided to take a mini road trip to Seattle, more specifically Snoqualmie WA. The Snoqualmie falls are there and before this weekend I didn't even know they existed, absolutely beautiful sight! After viewing the falls we headed to a 50's theme diner, the food was amazing.

All enjoyed milkshakes and burgers, mmmmmmm. Finally we walked across the street to the Railroad Museum and took a ride on this old train, these cars are being refurbished by volunteers and although they still need a bit of work it was quite amazing to walk through these old cars.

Ended the day with some shopping at Target (oh I want one in B.C.) and then waited for about an hour to get through the border. It was a long day for sure but a total blast!!

Cheers

Where did April go?

Do you remember as a kid when grown ups would tell you that as you grow older time goes faster, you'd think yeah whatever! Well it's true, time is just flying by and I would like it to slow down!

This past weekend we celebrated Trevors birthday again with an extended family party. When we planned the party we didn't realize it was opening day and pictures for baseball, opening day was cancelled (it won't stop raining) but while we had a house full of relatives Rory was doing the picture shuttle. Trev first and then an hour later it was Brendans turn.

Getting some cardmaking done this week and plan to start looking at my Etsy store with a little more focus, just need things to slow down to find the time, oh and if the cold would go away as well that would be awesome!!

Cheers
