Kids

A few pictures of the kids, first Andrew with his Learning Fair project and Laura being, well, Laura.

We are a two car family!

We picked up our new 2009 Toyota Corolla LE today, maybe better pictures when I take them before the sun starts to go down. Who can tell me why this car is EXACTLY what I like?

The scoreboard showing the winning score - it was a close one!

The gold winning team! Way to go Falcons!

Well done!

No pictures, but what a night. Laura's basketball team finished second in her Tire II school league and played the third place team Monday. After jumping out to a big lead of 32-19 nearing the end of the game they let it slip and kept fouling the other team giving them point opportunities but eventually prevailed 32-30.

Last night they played the final against the number one team, whom they hadn't come close to beating in the regular season. Down 11-4 early it looked inevitable that a silver medal was coming, but they battled back to tie the game 20-20 at half. But that's when the other team took over and with just over two minutes left in the game we were down 36-30, looking pretty bleak. A foul shot in and a couple of good baskets and we were down 36-35 with 5.6 seconds left. Laura had the inbound pass and she made it right to a player in front of the basket and she scored with 2.1 seconds left and Cornerstone won it 37-36 to take the title. What an amazing game, they were down most of the game but battled back with strong defense to keep themselves in the game and the ability to pull it out.

There were lots of parents there, lots of noise and it was great to see all the cameras taking pictures of the team, they were so happy and proud of themselves. Hope to snag a picture or two that were taken, cheers!

Laura Turns 13!

Laura and her friend Aysia both turned 13 in the same week so us moms decided to take the girls to Regina for a lesson in how to apply makeup. We had a fun day together and the girls each got a beauty lesson and then got to shop for makeup.

Laura's favourite part was the glitter eyeliner which we, of course, had to purchase!

Two beautiful girls!

Christmas Morning 2008

Andrew loves his new Shaun White Snowboarding game on the Wii.

Laura's new duds

Laura gets her ipod after we tried to fool her with a big box and heavy wood in that box.

Andrew's new CD player for his room.

Andrew made me this nice gift.

Gramma and Laura get a "great" movie to watch, one for each of them.

I get a whack of burritos, but I had to go on a scavenger hunt first.
