Cupcakes for last day of ball

They turned out pretty good for my decorating skill level. I am no Martha Stewart. I am sure the kids will love them. They are chocolate chip cupcakes. I also sent some cupcakes to school today for Mike's last day of school. They were having a big party in their classroom today. What else can they do? They already got their report cards and know they passed. My kids did really well. They both were on the effort Honour Roll.

Busy week ahead of us

This week is almost half over, and I've been sooooo busy. Monday night I took my son and a couple of friends to the pool. Those 2 friends are moving to Kamloops tomorrow. I was able to go out for a tea while they were swimming with a friend, so that was nice. Last night was ball. Tonight I have a meeting for Parade security for Saturday. I've done it 2 years already and we get paid, well actually they pay my son's ball league. It's a good fundraiser for them and hey, I'm watching the parade anyway. Thursday is Mike's last ball game. I am bringing cupcakes that night. I am decorating them to look like a baseball. I hope they turn out because I won't have much time to work on them.

Yesterday we had our passport photos taken and I'll pick them up this afternoon. We also insured the boat trailer and our holiday trailer. Time sure is going by fast. It's going to be a busy weekend with Stampede. Sean is working on Saturday, so after the parade, I'll get all our groceries for camping. Then I'll start packing up the holiday trailer. It's going to be nice to geet out to the Lake and relax after all having a busy week. The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm starting Sunday. Monday 20% chance of rain and Tuesday 10% chance of rain and the rest of the week looks sunny. So, hopefully the weather forecast doesn't change.

Baseball tournament was fun

It was a very cool looking metal this year. In the mites division, they all won a game and lost a game...so they all received Gold metals. It was a really good tournament and lots of fun for the kids! It started to rain at the end of Mike's last game. He has 2 more games and then the season is over.

Our Home Away From Home

It's a 1967 Idaho Kit Holiday Trailer. With a bit of TLC, it looks like a good place to stay in while we're camping. This summer the holiday trailer will finally leave the yard and be our home away from home!

The weekend is almost here!

My daughter is almost finished Elementary School. Last night the grade 7's had their Concert. My daughter was in a play as well as playing Ukelalli. The grade 7 band played O Canada and 2 other songs. During the second song, some one accidentally turned the lights off and the band played on and didn't miss a beat. It was awesome. There were 3 plays and I enjoyed them all. Kelsey's play was about a fake crocodile scare because the brother didn't want to take his little sister fishing. It was really well done. Kelsey played the part of the little girl and her aunt told her the story of Old Pete, the crocodile and what her Dad did to the aunt when she was little. After the concert, I took Kels and her friend to Dairy Queen for a blizzard treat. Today the grade 7's are at the ball fields for a grade 7 mixer tournament. They will be playing ball all day. My mom is helping out at the ball fields today, so hopefully I get some pictures. It is another sunny and warm day , a good day to be outside.

Tonight we are having our Casual Country Party. My work puts on a summer BBQ every year before Stampede. They provide all the food and drinks you can handle, plus a taxi ride home if needed! Our Casual Country Supplement is the largest product we put out for the entire year. It is usually more than 124 pages, tab size newspaper. A lot of work goes into getting it together, so tonight we will celebrate as the last copies come off the press! I am hoping to win a prize at the party tonight. The Lipizzaner Stallions are coming in July and tickets are $22.50 each...so that's the prize I would like to win, a pack of 4 tickets. We would totally enjoy it! Most likely I'll win a golf shirt or ball cap. Tickets to the Stampede would be OK too. I guess what ever you get is better than nothing (well, usually everyone gets a prize). So, wish me luck! I am having a burger tonight..it's been more than 3 weeks since I've had one. So I'm going to enjoy it!

I have an i-pod too!!!

Yesterday my i-pod shuffle arrived and within minutes, my daughter was uploading songs from my itunes onto it. I was quite pleased that it was orange...like tigger. I'll be bouncing on my trampoline while listening to my tunes. It is so sweet! So far in my family, we all have different colored i-pods, white, blue and orange. My hubby is jealous now that he doesn't have one. He'll have to get a lime green one. My nephew has a pink i-pod. My sister bought it for his birthday. He really wanted pink, I guess pink is the new black. She asked her students if she should buy her son a pink i-pod and they said yes.




Last night my son finally went to ball. It had been cancelled a few times because of the rainy weather. It was a very good game. He could see better with his glasses and hit the ball every time he was up to bat. It was great to see his smiling face. They have re-scheduled the tournament to this Sunday. So, he was quite happy about that because they get a metal for participating and he'll have another one to add to his collection. The sun is shining and it looks like it will be a really nice day! I hope every one has a great day!

Bouncing Rocks!

I am happy with my exercise plan. I've lost 8 lbs so far. I really like the new mini exercise trampoline I bought. I jumped on it while watching TV last night. Now I won't be a couch potato (or at least as much of one). Bouncing rocks and it's a good cardio work out for me.


I've also been bike riding. It's amazing how much more energy I have since I've been exercising more. I just need to lose about 20 more lbs and I'll be at my target weight. So, I'll keep on bouncing! Just call me Tigger!
