Morning of the run. Tina & Tanya

Morning of the run. Pam

So the Oakly Hockey sage went all weekend until the last possible hour. He made the team and now it is off to Leduc a few times a week for practices and traveling around Edmonton and area for games. Way to go Oakly we are proud of your efforts and all your hard work.

It was all so my big weekend, I was off to Banff for my 10km Road Race. I left on Friday with Tanya, Tina, Wendy and Pam all ready to run and have fun. Tanya and Tina ran in the 22km race, while the rest of us did the 10km. We all finished with great times! It was awesome and now I know that I am more than ready to challenge myself to the 22km. Thanks to Tina who got us all on the run for fun and a good time. It was a race but just knowing that I could finish it was a win for me.

I am so lucky to have friends that want to try new things and put us up to the challenge. . . I am a better person for it.

hockey update

So sorry to leave you all hanging. . .

Last nights skate for Okaly has left us all hanging, we are still waiting for the posting and if his name is on the roster for Saturday's game he has to play the game, other wise he still has to be present for the game and we are assuming he will just warm the bench. This may be good and at the same time this may be bad. When I find out all the ins and outs I keep you all posted.



Tommorow I leave for Banff, and my journey to the finish line of my 10k run. I am both excited and a little nervous!!!

fight club

I am putting this out there. . .
UFC has taken on a new roll in our schools "Fight Club". It has been around in neighboring communities and now it has hit ours. Having a son in the Jr/Sr High school this effects us. Theses kids get together and just fight, they think it is fun and when that fight is done they challenge, taunt, and encourage other kids to fight. There have been a few incidents in other communities that are now involving lawyers and sentences. Scary!! As a mom I am terrified, I trust my son but at the same time I really do not want to be naive. Why didn't each child come with their own manual?

MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER

Well we are on the count down for Hockey cuts and i am sitting at home waiting for Tod and Okaly to return from tonight's tryout and not sure if I feel all that good. . . Whatever happens it happens for a reason, as long as he knows he gave it his all.
Avery started Hockey last week and loves it. The beginning of this week she had 2 practices and they divided the players into 2 teams. She is on the "B Team" which to her means yay!!! I get to play Hockey. That is all she wants to do when she gets home from school she is waiting to go ti the rink.
Well today I got a phone call and Aspen's Hip Hop starts on October 8, (which is a Thursday). Oh boy do I hear a conflict about to happen, and we still don't know about Okaly. Avery's hockey game nights are on Thursday at the same time Aspen's Hip Hop is, problem they are in 2 different towns, at some point we have to add Okaly's schedule into it and. . .WOW! we will be very busy parents.

My hockey life begins

Well I am on the phone talking too my sister, and blogging'. Have to go to work in 2 Min's, but just having a breather before the rush begins of our hockey conditioning camp for the next week. Avery starts at 4:15 - 5:15 and Oakly is at 8:15 - 9:15. In between that we have to organize Aspen's extra curricular activities and clean the post office. Have a great week :)
