Happy Birthday to me...

So I am one year older. It's good. I like it. A bit of a different day though. Both of my young boys picked up a bug this week and so my day started a little earlier than usual (5:00am) with the sound of a young boy getting up to pee in the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately, he fell asleep in the car ride home from Grandmas last night and still had underwear under his PJ's. So I would imagine in his feverish half asleep state he was quite surprised to find that extra layer of clothing. There was pee all over the bathroom and him, but...

Victoria - Follow-up

Well the weekend in Victoria was a nice escape from LOMAH, except everyone in Victoria is from LOMAH!  I guess Saskatchewan is slowing moving west into Alberta and Alberta is moving to BC.  Makes me wonder when the reverse migration will take place? From 2010.09 Victoria Trip Dora ran a great race, so I thought I would post some pictures of the lovely ladies!  Amazing to see them still smiling after 21km! From 2010.09 Victoria...

It's been that kind of day...

Victoria - The Finale

With the work done on my part, I got out for an afternoon with the boys. Merc., Wilson and myself headed up to Telegraph Cove for some kayaking. While I'm not a bad kayaker, sea kayaking is just different enough to throw me off my game. The paddle out went fine, but with the wind picking up and whitecaps in sight, things got more interesting. To top it off, I misunderstood the hand signals and headed into the worst of it. Wilson said it was...

Victoria - Race & Thanksgiving

With a 6:30 wake up I was feeling rested an refreshed! We packed up after a quick breakfast and head out to Dallas road to catch the action. Dora and the girls were on route, us standing at the 17km mark. While I thought Wilson had sent me a text, it turnrd out to be Shane, so we hung out together to watch. While we missed Jenn and her dad, we did catch everyone else. Dora, Dawn, Jaime and Meg were basically together, showing up in a 3min window....

Victoria - Race time

We arrived in Vic and headed to bed after a nice chat with the Wilsons. In the morning Dora headed off to a baby shower for Meg Huston and I met Jody at the pool with the boys. It was a pretty sweet facility, with this odd swirling whirlpool. Honestly, Logan only went under for a second! After a quick change into a life jacket, he was ready to go again, gotta jump right back in right? We then went for lunch at this sweet all you can eat Chinese...

Victoria - The Departure

Well we hit the road a little late, just in time to catch traffic at 4:30. Nutbar!! Not a fun time (1hr+). To make things even more interesting Logan had to pee. Let's just say seatbelts were optional and it was a good thing I stopped for a coffee!We left early enough so that we had enough time and the rest of the trip out to Victoria was uneventful. I will say this. Evan has this weird baby tourettes. It's dead quiet as we drive from the...
