Wii-Fit

A girl Friend of mine, Sarah and I have been obsessed with finding "WiiFit" since it became available in May. On Friday she found us each one!!

After a busy weekend, I finally got a chance to use it !!! And I must say I am LOVIN' it!!
I am normal in my weight. However in "Wii Fit" age, I am 32 years old. It measures your balance, weight and posture to conclude what your "wii-fit" age. So in this game I am 6 years older than I actually am. I definetly know posture and balance are big issues. And I look forward to using this game, and yes I call it a game b/c it's too fun to call a workout!!

Preseason game = WIN!

First game of the year. We went all out for! Even got Amber's friend Kat in on the Rider Action. I look forward to the season this year, and showing off our Rider Pride!! GO RIDERS!!
Mallory and her BF Chris.

Even Dominic got in on the Rider action. He was a little disappointed, however when he found out he wasn't actually coming to the game.

Riderville here we come!!

Friday is the start of Rider Season, with the first preseason game at Mosaic Stadium.
How I have missed the excitement that being in the crowd brings. How I have missed the cheers and high fives, the beers & the smiles. How I have missed cheering on our province's CFL team!! How I have missed Mr Gainer the gopher!!! And of course, I even missed THE WAVE!!
This summer will be full of trips to Regina to watch and cheer on the one and only team I cheer for!!

The 2007 Grey Cup Champions. Good Luck this year Riders!!!

Geocaching

I see every body changing their status' on facebook to things like "going geo-caching" and "just went geo-caching". And I felt really out of the loop. Having NO Idea what this whole "geo-caching" thing was all about, I decided to use the friendly tool : GOOGLE.

So I found a site that explained to me that this was a ...game I guess you would call it, that people search for items with their GPS units. Am I the only one that had NO clue what this was???

Anyways, I went to the FAQ section to read more about it. And thought this was just hilarious:

So if I have a GPS unit, someone can track where I am (and where I'm going)?

No! GPS devices do not actually broadcast your location. The satellites using radio frequencies actually broadcast their own position. Your GPS unit takes that information to figure out where you are (triangulation).
Unless you have a tracking system implanted by aliens, you should be safe from the satellites above. As an extra precaution, however, you can put aluminum foil on your head to deflect the "gamma" beams

I learnt something today, and it put a smile on my face!

Relay for Life

I had a team organized for the Relay for Life event held in Oxbow this year. Even though we had to hurdle some obstacles to get there, our team had a great time!
I did not get the chance to take a pic of our whole team with my camera, but if I get my hands on a copy, I will post it.

The night was very tiresome, as we only had 7 people walking for the night. Our breaks weren't very long, and we were all walking like we were crippled come the morning. I still have limp in my walk..haha but every part of it was worth it.

My thoughts on the event were...we were so tired, and our legs were starting to hurt...but we only had to deal with those sacrifices for one evening. People that live with cancer, live with that cancer 24 hours a day, and what we were doing , was trying to help so that people don't have to live with that!!

I want to thank each and every one of you who pledged me, or anyone. Your contributions did not go unnoticed!

This was some luminaries on the hill spelling "H-O-P-E". It was very beautiful and heart warming to see that lit up on the hill!

Playschool concert

Earlier this month Dominic had his playschool concert. It was pretty precious!!

Cleopatra!!

This is my little monkey when she wakes up in the morning!!!! Crazy , crazy hair!!!
I am still not sure how to work the settings on my camera (the coming up photography class will help with that though), so please be patient with my "not-so-good" pics, they will improve!!!
This is a shot of Paige AFTER getting her hair done, still some crazy curls at the front, but much more controlled.
Dominic's stance, he's oh so strong!!!
