Bowling Banquet 2007

Kennedy had her very first bowling banquet today. She got two trophies, two plaques, and a medal! I was, needless to say, a VERY proud mama. She was SO excited as she hadn't won a trophy before so getting two big ones was just like winning the lottery. She was so pleased to see her name engraved on everything. She was hugging her trophies and was pleased as punch standing up there with her team. She got awards for "Most Improved New Bowler", 2nd place team for tournament, personal high triple, single, and average, 2nd place overall team, attendance, and about four certificates for various categories. It was such an exciting day - it will be a long summer without bowling. I'll have to continue taking her once in a while so she keeps her 'game' on. Here are some pictures from the day's festivities:

Music Festival

Kennedy sang with her school choir in the Provincial Music Festival this week. She knew every word and sang her heart out; I was SO proud! Here are the videos, they were taken from up on the balcony with just my regular camera, not a dedicated video camera, so they aren't too crisp but you can see her, she's on the right end of the first row.

Great story about Jacob Hartshorne, son of Nancy & Tim...

Happy Earth Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Earth Day! Unfortunately I was inside on this glorious, warm, beautiful spring day as I was studying for two exams. Graeme & Kennedy, however, went out to his brother's place and they along with Graeme's brother & his family went to the beach to pick up garbage. They had a picnic at the beach afterwards and played soccer-baseball. Kennedy had a really fun day with her cousins, Jack & Allie. I'm glad she gets to see them and spend some time with them; I remember some really fun times with my cousins back in the day.

A day out in the fresh air, a nice warm bath, and some "Banjo-Tooie" on the Nintendo with big brother Kyle and I'm sure this little "Earth-Girl" will have a really great sleep tonight!

Happy Easter

Kennedy has had a BUSY DAY - she went to a huge Easter Egg Hunt and Party this afternoon and this evening we dyed and painted a dozen eggs, made cards for the Easter Bunny and she had a nice long, hot shower before crawling into bed with a movie (it's so nice when they can just get in and shower themselves!!!).

Here is her Easter wish for everyone (short but sweet!):
