What Can Brown Do For You

I am so sorry that I have not been more on the ball with updating my blog but I thought that I would just let you know that I have not forgotten only life has been very busy and by the end of the day I am ready for bed.  Also, our main computer that I would use to  update has crashed and that has been very frustrating because it has all our information on it, thankfully enough we have been up to date in keeping a back up of all our pictures on memory sticks or I would really be crying the blues right now.  Once I am organized again I will have a lot of updating to do.  Maybe when life slows down. LOL

I will get back at it soon.  I just don't feel like blogging is the same if I can't include any pictures.  I will work on getting some pictures on the lap top this week.  Give me a few days. 

Up until now Darien and Keagan have been the only ones able to ride on the bike because they are big enough but this last week Jamie bought a harness that is ment for small children like Rylan so they can also ride on the motor bike and he was so excited.  It is like a five point harness that goes on Rylan with some handles attached for him to hold onto and then there is a belt that goes around Jamie, so the only way that Rylan is coming off the bike is if Jamie does.  He could not wait to get on the bike and boy was it cute.  What I think is cute is that the helmet makes him look so top heavy. LOL

It is that great time of year again when you feel like you are constantly on the go.  This is Rylan's first year of playing soccer and he is so excited.  Although by about half way though he is ready for a snack and to go home but I never get tired of watching all the little ones run after the ball.  Rylan has some great coaches this year that are very good at keeping the kids involved and entertained.  Keagan is like an old pro a the soccer thing.  It is his favorite sport and he seems to do really well at it.  It is great because this year they both play on Sat. mornings.  Rylan is 9:30am to 10:30 and Keagan is 10:35 to 11:35, so it works our really well. 

 

Just as a side note Darien scored his first goal in lacrosse last week.  It was so exciting I wish that I could have had the camera to take a picture of that great moment that he has been working so hard for.  This coming weekend he is going to be playing goal in a tournament which makes me a little bit nervous just because there is a lot of pressure involved in playing that postion but I am sure that he will do great.

As is tradition we try to have a girls night about once a month.  This time our theme seemed to be music and of course that means karioke and rock band.  It was a great night everyone had to bring a healthy treat with a copy of the recipe.  I thought that was a geat idea until everyone started to arrive and you soon discover that when a bunch of girls get together there always has to be chocolate. LOL  A couple of the girls had just recently purchased the new game "Rock Band" and boy was that a good time.  Tammy was out lead singer and the rest of us took turns playing the drums and guitars.  It was another great night.  We always have such a good time. 

 

So as many of you know Tammy comes up to Edmonton every 6-8 weeks to do hair.  She has a lot of clients which is great, but I was getting a little tired of having to clean up hair in my kitchen after the visit was over, so Jamie was so kind to build a salon in the basement for Tammy.  This salon is where our bathroom is going to be going but not for a while so for now it is the perfect salon.  Jamie did a great job hanging some old curtains that we have collected from each of our homes, we found a used salon chair, and a mirror on sale, and luckly we had some left over lino from when they built the house.  So I must say that it is great having her in my basement and it works out really well.  A lot of the girls that come to have their hair done bring their kids with them so it works out well that the kids can play with all the toys in the basement while mom is having her hair done.
