Go FLAMES GO!!!!!!

Well I am such a slacker. There has been so much I have wanted to blog about but failed to. Mostly I have some pictures that I want to share. The Calgary Flames are in the first roiund of the Stanley Cup Playoffs right now against the Chicago Blackhawks. Last Wed. and Sat. Mike set up a hangout at Dave's drive-in to watch the game. Wed. we went as a family and as a fan felt the need to dress the fam appropriately. Sat. Mikey spent the night at Grandmas so it was just Mike, Lindsey and I. I made Lindsey a onesie to wear. It was fun on Wed. and Sat. it was nice to spend some time with Mike. Now I am a Flames fan through marriage but I feel I have done a fairly good job in this role my evidence is this.
#1- I picked where to go on our honeymoon based on where they were playing so that we could go to a game.
#2-A few years ago we went to a golf party and I won a hat and some balls. They were also giving a wear a flames hat signed by Robyn Regehr. The guy who won it was from Montana and had NO idea who he nor the Flames were I asked him to trade and he did. I feel this act was enough to put me in league with good hockey fan wives.
#3-In an effort to get my hubby a good b-day present I combined his two fav. past times golf and hockey and got him a golf Flames shirt. I long ago would have gotten him a hockey sweater(jersey) but this is something he would not appreciate as much from me as from someone he wasn't supporting financially.
Hope you enjoy the pics (coming soon I am in the process of loading them as I type)

I LOVE SPRING!!!

I am loving the warmer weather. Although the other night it snowed which put a damper on things but the snow is gone and the sun is once again shining. Mikey and I got a bunch of things done outside including hanging the laundry on the line. I LOVE SPRING. Oh what a glorious feeling!!!!

I Love this picture. Mikey loves holding Lindsey this way. It is so much fun to see them together.

My Aunt Di gave Mikey the shirt he is wearing it says "I'm the big brother" He would ask me to wash it almost as soon as it was off. He is so proud to be a big bro and takes good care of her. One night our neighbor Jeff (he's 17 or 18) came over to see her. Mikey was in bed when he left and he told me he hoped Jeff didn't take her home. I assured him he didn't but he was still a bit concerned. He is so funny.

Lindsey Grace Blackmore

Thank you Minn for posting for me. We named her Lindsey Grace Blackmore. We are enjoying all the fun of a newborn. We are both well . Here are some pics. If you have any questions just ask. There are none from the hospital yet. They are on Grandma Blackmore's camera but I will post them when I get them.

She is here!

This is Marintha (Krista's sister) posting the news for her, since she is in the hospital! Hopefully I say what she wants, but she can change it later!
They haven't decided which name they want yet, but she was born at 11:38 am! She weighs 7 lbs. and 14 oz.! She is 21 inches long!
Mom and baby ate doing well! I guess Krista did it all with out an epidural! She rocks! I will let her put more information on that later, but I just wanted to let all her friends and readers know she had the baby! I am so excited, and can't wait to see her!!!!!

memory lane

I was on the phone yesterday with my mom and she reminded me of a fun memory. I think it was in grade 8 (Joni you will have to let me know if this is correct.) It was the third day of school and my dear friend Joni gave me a Haribo Frog. She told me to keep it forever. I told her I would. I still have it today. I had to put clear fingernail polish on it to "preserve" it. It now sleeps in an old ring box in my jewelry case. That was almost 11 years ago. While there are a lot of things I have sentimental attachment to that I don't save this is one I will probably have until I die and my kids through it out and shake their heads at their mother's insanity.

A little catch up and some pictures.

Well I have been trying to get cameras ready for baby's arrival. I decided I would try to put the pictures on for myself. This has been quite an adventure. But I now have some pictures on the computer. I will post some for you. I will also try to go back and add ppictures to other posts but I am not sure how this will work. So wish me luck. This is Mikey and Kelsie skating and playing hockey on Family day. Every year we rent the town rink and skate. It is a lot of fun. The next one is Mike teaching Mikey to skate the week before family day. I am so glad that Mike is so patient. He is a great teacher. (edit: I have no idea what I am doing with the pictuires so if anyone has advice let me know. Also as I'm sure you you can tell the first one is My boys and the second is of Mikey and Kelsie.) A clarification Mikey's skates are the two blade bob skates and not traditional skates.
