Henny making popcorn for us. Henny, Moriah and I watched Pride and Prejudice together after everyone else left. It was such a great romantic show. I was there till 2:30 am and then headed home. As soon as I got home the baby woke up and was up for 2 hours. You can imagine that I was a little worn out for church in the morning as it was the night for the time change also!!! But what a great night! Thanks everyone! Posted by Picasa

This is the beautiful wall hanging that I got for my birthday from my awesome mother-in-law, Louise. I love it!  Posted by Picasa

We just got these rabbit ears for the TV so that we can get CBC. I think that the kids look so cute watching. They are amazed that it is a different show everyday. They are used to watching the same movie everyday. Here they are watching Tractor Tom Posted by Picasa

Hockey Trip 2006!! Click on the 4 little pics for video

Here's the players warming up on the ice. You can see there are many available seats but they fill in very quickly. I'm so glad my camera has movie mode. I really enjoy these small clips of the game and hope you do too.
This one is nice and close and you can get a feel for how awesome it is to be at a game in person. I love how Will cheers on! I do believe we were the loudest people there!!!
I actually got this video of the first goal of the night by Mr. Bertuzzi. You can certainly feel the exictement in this video. Sorry I was so excited the camera is all over the place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the second shoot out goal, scored by Ruutu. A shoot out is a best of 3. I ran out of memory so I didn't get Bertuzzi's winning over time goal. This is pretty cool though. Click on the image to see a short video.

Some nice fan in front of us grabbed my camera and went to take a picture for us. He could tell we were having the time of our lives and wanted us to have a photo I suppose. Unforunatley it was on movie mode but I can not believe how much fun I had. Posted by Picasa

I love this pic of Peter waving his hand. It's from a video so that's why it's a bit grainy. Posted by Picasa

I was looking over my posts and I left a few good hockey game pics out. Here's Will making good use of his foamy in between cheering sessions. Posted by Picasa
Tired and worn out we went to Tim Horton's on Keith. Sweet Linda picked us up on the airport. Let me speak for all of us: What an awesome trip!!!! Posted by Picasa
More beauty on the way home to my beauty!! Posted by Picasa
Couldn't pass the photo opportunity seeing this nice carving outside of Science World. Posted by Picasa
Impossible to top the hockey game but we had a pretty good second day in Vancouver. Skytrained and saw a movie about bugs at the IMAX theater in Science World. Posted by Picasa
This was one of those moments that stood out. Just sitting on benches watching the hussle and bussle of city life. The guys and I were heart broken to see homeless people and many people with hard, hard looks. We loved our trip but are so happy to be in a caring, small town. Posted by Picasa
This man had much to do with the win. Many truly awesome saves. Way to go Auld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by Picasa
This guys who sat behind us at the game were a bit annoying at first they kept telling us to wave our number one foamy hands but they really added so much to our trip. The guys and I really got into cheering and kept it up even when the Canucks were done 3-2. What an awesome game. The game went to a shootout with Vancouver winning, of course!!!! Many of the people sitting around us called us the Number One Fan Club. Posted by Picasa
I was not a hockey fan before this game. After getting home I went and got an antennae so we could watch the odd game. I'm hoping to come back and see a game with my charming wife, Charlene. Posted by Picasa
Here we are at GM Place before the big game. The teams were on the ice practicing. This was the great PPV game on the 23rd; Canucks Vs. Oilers Posted by Picasa
Skytrained to the Pacific Center Mall then to our hotel rooms before the big game. Posted by Picasa
We were just about to leave when Gram showed us this beautiful turkey she had prepared. I was awestruck at her generosity and guess what, we had to go. Posted by Picasa
Gracious host and beautiful, MY GRAM!!!!! Posted by Picasa
Here's George!! Thank God he came and met us at the airport. We had a nice relaxing ride to Surrey where we visited with George and his beautiful wife, Ruth, my grandmother and Armand. Posted by Picasa
The wonders and beauty of God's creation are breathtaking and awesome. Posted by Picasa

On March 23rd, 2006 I had the pleasure of going to Vancouver with these fine gentlemen; William, Peter and Peter. Flight courtesy of Air Canada and hockey tickets courtesy of Alcan. We couldn't believe it and can you tell how happy we are before we leave!!!? Posted by Picasa
