2010

2010 - five of us are now graduated and our family has graduated to taking pictures on the deck outside at Christmas instead of by the tree. there are now three new brother-in-laws in the family and all though you can't see it two nephews and one niece brewing. :)

2011

2011-I got myself married. But you can also see the niece and nephews!!  :)

2012

2012- we've grown away from the Christmas tree, the back deck and into the U of L!!! haha we're just that cool! but what other place has a hallway big enough to fit twenty of us?!
So there are Four new bro-inlaws, 8 of us done with highschool and three soon to be four nieces and nephews. Go Becky!

I think we have done better with family pictures the older we have gotten. How weird.?

Give us just a little while, We'll soon be outgrown of this picture and hunting down the perfect time and spot for our family picture!
We're growing up pretty good I think.

All About Dan

There was this one time I actually believed Hockey had an end. It was back before I met Dan. Then I met this wonderful man who loved hockey. He refereed it and was really good at it. While we were dating there were some weekends I didn't see much of him because of this sport Hockey. One day we were talking and I asked him when the hockey season ended. He told me "at the end of March". YAY. That was only two weeks away. Suddenly it was the middle of April. And Hockey was still going. by May I finally saw my finacee. :)

 Dan had a good hockey season. He made it to Alberta Cup and got his Level three. Which means he can Referee the higher level games. He did well in AB cup. Not as well as he wanted to but he was still one of the top guys there. That makes me proud. We came home from AB cup and put the hockey stuff away. :)

    

 oops. he just informed me that there is still one more week of a hockey camp in July. You wouldn't believe it but hockey seems to never really end. 

Lacrosse. A new hobby that was found. A friend of his that he reffed hockey with told him to take a lacrosse clinic so that he could ref Lacrosse. So he went to the camp and learned lots and now is reffing Lacrosse about once a week. It would be more often but he is starting to work a lot of overtime at work too. He quite enjoys it and I've found its a sport I like to watch too even help out with once in a while. :)

Rugby. Another favorite Sport. And it has just began. He was going to be coaching the mini's right now but with the busy time at Viterra he hasn't been able to. Maybe when our kids start to be in sports.
Well rugby has started. He made it to a practice the other day and came home all sore and bruised. So when you see him covered in bruises know that it's not entirely me. :)

He normally plays flanker but today he was a hooker. I mean the hooker. That's my man. (don't ask me cause I really don't know what the positions mean.)

not from me. This is from the sport he loves oh so much. :P

That's my active Husband for ya.

He still manages a job as well that requires lots of overtime right now.
You wouldn't believe it but we do get time together.

 I love him!
Anybody got any ideas on hobbies for me? :P
