Rylan's Injury

Of course while I was running my half marathon with Lara, Jamie was holding down the fort and taking the boys to all their various activities.  One of which included Rylan playing rugby and Stefan playing lacrosse sadly not at the same location but at the same time.  Anyway Jamie dropped Rylan off at his game and took Stefan to his but while he was there Jamie got a call that Rylan had been hurt and one of the moms was taking to the Stollery Hospital.  So Jamie arranged for one of the moms to take care of Stefan and he made his way to the hospital only to find out that Rylan had suffered a concussion.  Here he is laying on the bed not feeling so great.

 They spent the next three hours in the hospital while they kept a close eye on him.  This isn't very good and Rylan is going to have to take it easy for a while but we are glad he is ok.

 The next couple of days were spent looking like this.  Of course this stuff only happens when I am gone.  Poor guy.

Half Marathon and Stagget

So this day has been a long time in the planning.  Lara and I have been training for about 4 months to do this half marathon.  It was the hardest yet most rewarding thing I have ever done.  Growing up I was the least athletic.  I avoided running at all costs and even faked a few injuries to get out of gym class.  We were the fast on the course today but we finished it and I am so very proud of us.  I am so thankful that I had Lara pushing me along and encouraging me to try this or I never would have done it.  Will I do more?  Maybe but just knowing I have done one is great.

Our after race treat.

After the big race which was in Millerville, just south of Calgary.  I went back to Calgary to celebrate one of my best friends up coming wedding at her stagget.  Tammy and I have been friends for 20 plus years and she is near and dear to me.  She had a 60's theme stagget and we had professional pictures taken and makeup done.

It was a great way to spend the day.

I love this girl and am so thankful for her friendship.

The perfect ending to our day was seeing a rainbow.

Rugby Tournament

Rylan was involved in a rugby tournament this weekend and he loved it.  He loves playing this game even when he gets hurt.  He is a great tackler and gives it his all.  Way to go son.

Track

Rylan was in track and field this year.  So long with running he also did the long jump.  I am so thankful that my boys try everything.  They might not be the best but they will put their all into it.

Dentist Fun

This was a very fun filled day at the dentist.  I was in need of a root canal and other work so I opted to be sedated for it and boy was that fun.  It felt like hardly anytime at all had passed.  I will defiantly do it that way again.  LOL  My kids of course thought I was hilarious.

Poo Stefan didn't think so.  He wasn't feeling very well and ended up sleeping all the way home.
