She Shoots...she scores!!

Yep..the ball has dropped and the season is on. Both of my kiddies are playing this year and it is "K's" first year ever, so needless to say she was very excited when she got her jersey. We had soccer both days this weekend plus team photos for each. Busy busy. The boys play on Saturdays. We travelled to Maple Ridge for "B's" game. They did not win but heck it was their first game as a team and they are still "gelling" together! We lucked out with the weather as it was to rain both days. "B's" legs were bothering him again. I have made an appointment with a phsyiotherapist to get him checked out. So we will see what it up there. He has a great coach and his teammates seem really neat. He is enjoying it again after a year off.

"K's" game was today. The girls play on Sundays and was at 10:00am. She was a little nervous but held up great. She is going to be a great player, I can feel it. She just has to figure out how to run and kick the ball at the same time. She has 6 other girls on her team and at this age 5, they play 3 from each team at a time. So they all don't get worn out I suppose. She loved the half-time...you get a snack!

She did really great and scored a goal. At first ref called it foul but they ended up letting it go, so we take that at a goal. She was excited but more disappointed they did not win. Gonna have to work on that. I kept telling her that it is about having fun but she is stuck on the "win" thing.

After the game, we went home, had some lunch and then off to La Senza Girl. "K's" favourite store in the mall. Hey.. I had to reward for the goal!

It's That Time Again....The Canucks have taken the ice!

I could smell the popcorn, taste the pretzels and hear the cheers of the crowd. It's Hockey Time Again in Vancouver!

I was at the opening exhibition game last night with our beloved Vancouver Canucks and the Stanley Cup Champs....the Ducks! My employer has season tickets :-) and often shares with the employees. My HR co-worker won them in a raffle so she took me! They are awesome seats and should be at $95.00 a ticket! Nice and close to the ice. Even though the Canucks lost in over-time, it is was a great night. Did I mention that parking is $17.00!

It is great getting back into the game. I am surrounded by Canuck fans at work, so I have no choice to like them. I am a hockey fan however, being from Toronto. My beloved Borje Salming will always be my number #1 hockey favourite!

The talk has already started at work. Who is at training camp, who won't make the cut. Who makes too much money. Who needs to be traded and this is just after the 1st exhibition game. Heck it doesn't even count! Ahhh but that is true fan support isn't it?
