Trampoline Part Deux











Lots to say about Kaedo and his birthday but I will start with pictures from last weekend and the first foray on the trampoline. I always allow a couple of jumps without the enclosure - mostly for the photo op! The pool has gone up this weekend and with only about 18" between the pool and the trampoline, the boys would love not to have the enclosure up. Too bad for them! We thought we better get the pool set up and water into it as "the Alberta littles" will be here in a week (yay me!!!!) and we wanted them to be able to play with the boys as I am hoping Jessica does not bring her shitty weather with her. It is supposed to be between 23 and 25 here all week, so that should warm up the pool nicely. I know I posted the picture of Sterling already - didn't realize I had chosen it again, and Blogger won't let me remove the double photos - sorry once again.

Kaedo played in a soccer tournament this weekend and they lost two games yesterday and won two games today. He was thrilled, but four games, a trip to Woodbine and a couple of late nights texting his "friend that's a girl that's a little more than a friend" makes for a tired kid. We got home today about 1pm and he was miserable as he always is after his games. We forced him into the shower then cut into his birthday cake for lunch. Afterwards he got together with a friend and they are out scootering with Sterling and two of his buddies. They all get along great so I am happy they are out in this sunshine. Last I heard they were stopped at McDonald's for drinks (and probably fries or a pie) - thank god for winning at the races - now mom doesn't have to pay - they have more money than me!

Our school graduation is tomorrow and Kaedo has a league game in T.O. that Craig is taking him to. He will probably score a goal as that's what he did last time I missed a game. Sterling has been "voluntold"ed into working at the Grad with me as I sit on that committee for parent council. It doesn't finish until 11pm and then we have to do all the clean up. It will be a late night (or early morning on Tuesday).

I will try to get the pictures from our day at Woodbine up tomorrow but no promises can be made at this point. Just know we had THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!! and the boys loved it. We took about 50 pictures and it was a fabulous experience. One I will definitely do again. Maybe for my 40th?

Thought Vegas was for your 40th! I know we pass by there just about once a year but in 2012 Emma has a dance competition in July so we'll be there in the sweltering heat. Last time we were there in July it was 52C. You couldn't breathe outside, it was record breaking heat even for Vegas. July will probably be the next time we pass by as we're thinking of Florida for this winter's sun.


It was a busy weekend for you all...but what a weekend. Nothing better than being run off your feet with fun things to do. The busier the better, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with work.

Looks like fun on that trampoline but glad the net is up. Fun to jump into the pool from it but not a good idea you guys. The "Alberta littles" can't wait to get there and have fun. Emma is just crossing off the days on the calendar you made for her. We're looking forward to our visit also.

Beautiful day today and we sat at the river's edge watching it speed by with no danger of flooding yet. Nothing like a sunny, warm day to get your spirits lifted. Can't believe the day is almost over and we haven't even started the car, just visited with neighbors, enjoyed our books and e-mailing our friends.

Hope summer is here to stay.

Love to all
