Trying out the new ping.fm to put all my social media links into one place. Pretty easy and intuitive.

Newly Weds In Town…

So…

The newly weds are in town. Rolled over to the crib to hang and work on the deck.

We ran out of m’shizzle so we ended up just having some g & t and movies.

It was great to have a little SNL!

Creativity…

It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon. I was real close to a ride with Tbone out in Fort Langley when the rain rolled in and shut us down. Next time for sure, if summer shows up that is.

Bo, Char and I were working on our reading and connect the dots when Bo asked if he could draw me. He asked me to hold up the Glodoodle to my face so he could draw me.

This is what he came up with…

Can you see the resemblance??

And here’s some of our words that Bo’s picking up on…

This is what he tra

grandma jo’s

It’s that time again when the kids come to magical retreat known as grandma jodi’s. We know that grandpa walt lives there too but it holds a grandma mystique that is almost fairy-tale like.

They live in Silverdale just west od seattle. It’s on the olympic penninsula and its really restful. It’s a place the kids get to play in a big open yard and Car and I get to enjoy a little change in the routine of life. To be honest, we all love it here. It’s a very special place where we are still the parents but for brief moments we get to be kids along side our kids. Thanks Walt and Jo!

Here’s a little sample of what the kids are already getting into: Jane swinging on the swings in the sunshine, Bo is in the land of chips where Grandma Jo makes them flow like milk and honey, and Char is not just picking flowers but also fresh ripe strawberries.

And it’s only one day into the weekend. Although I’m in the States, Happy Canada Day everyone!!

Stanley Cup Game 2 update

Just in case you were on an desert island…the Canucks won 3-2 in OT. Goal by Alex Burrows!!! Gotta love it.

As I’m typing this another kid came by waving a white towel…he started to tell me kids that if the Canucks won two more games the would win the most incredible cup in the world… The Stanley Cup! Not many people have won the Stanley cup but (words of the kid) I know the Canucks are gonna win!!!!

I’m with ya little bro! I’m with ya

Game 2 Stanley Cup Finals!!!!

This is what memories are made of! I remember 94 when the Canucks made to game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals!!

No wait, I am that old! I remember when a rag tag group of Canucks made it to the finals in 82′. That’s right around the time I fell in love (no became obessed with the Canucks.

I started watching the games with me rabid of a fan Mom. It was good memories for me. And that’s what I’m hoping I have with my kids! They’re old enough to get scared when I yell when the Caucks score and they’re old enough to understand that this is something special.

Let’s believe that my kids generation, finally…get to believe and enjoy what so many hockey fans hope for…

Monday night will be awesome!
