January 2011 - Since January has come and gone already, here's a quick recap with pictures to follow:
  • We did nothing for New Years Eve - so, nothing to report there...
  • Lance turned 40 and Kirsten was able to give him a surprise open house - he loved it
  • Brayden had 2 swim meets and in the last one - he had some great times that gave him qualifying times for the Inland Empire Championships and a relay time for the Age Group Sectionals!
  • Taylor had lots of hockey (of course) He had a tournament in Lethbridge (crazy long bus ride story with that - the bus driver had a felony on his record and Canada wouldn't let him in so the team had to wait for another bus) and the State Select Camp.
  • Brayden is still taking guitar lessons and Taylor's last month was January - i guess Zach doesn't have anything else to teach Taylor - we just need to be home more so Taylor can play in the worship band more often...
  • Hayleigh is doing gymastics still but we moved her night so our evenings aren't so rushed and someone can actually watch her instead of dropping her off and running to pick up someone else etc. As you can see in the pictures below she'd rather be playing hockey. We are thinking about letting her try T-ball - not sure yet though...
  • Brayden started a baseball camp every Friday nite to get ready for the upcoming season - he's really been enjoying it and Lance is very pleased to see how much he's improved since last year!
The best part of January was that Lance and I escaped to a bed & breakfast only 30 minutes away - Cameo Heights Mansion. They have an excellent restaurant - dinner was divine and breakfast was delicious! Each suite is decorated to replicate the decor of a different countries - we stayed in the German Suite - I can't wait to go back but it will be awhile - kinda expensive but it was worth it. I can't remember the last time we had some time together...


The Birthday Boy!

After the surprise open house, we also had a family party and this was the cake from that "planned" event
