Bring on the Spring Sports!!
Spring is here and with it, Spring sports!! Woo hoo!!! Emerson is continuing with dance and keeping busy as they prepare for a festival in Lloydminister and their year end performance. She has had some extra practices on Sunday afternoons/evenings this dance season. Reese decided to try 3 on 3 ringette this year, which is on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Brownies continues until June! Blake decided to play Spring hockey this year and is playing lacrosse. He will be VERY busy but I'm sure he'll love every second. His spring hockey team is called the CanWest Outriders and his buddies Brogin, Dante, Ryan and Brody are all playing as well. We're looking forward to it!! Cal is behind the bench and I am managing. We'll update ya on April at the end of the month, hope everyone is doing well!

March is Marvelous
It's March!! Closer and closer to summer and sunny skies :) Our March was fun, as we wrapped up hockey and ringette and enjoyed a nice break during spring break! Here's a run-down:
March 4th Blake began Peewee A lacrosse evaluations! Right smack in the middle of hockey playoffs. Every dang year!! But this year he didn't have any conflicts, so it worked out :)
March 8th began the Veeteretz Ukrianian Dance festival. We love this festival!! Our dance club does an amazing job organizing the festival at the DOW in Fort Saskatchewan. I usually volunteer most of the weekend and Em does her thing!! This year she had 7 performances (4 dances + 3 dances chosen for the showcase)! For their 4 dances, they won 3 gold medals, 1 silver medal. It was an awesome weekend and we're so proud of Emerson and her group!!
March 9th Reese attended a day of Brownie Camp at a local community hall. It was a science camp and it sounds like they had a super fun day!! She is in Brownies with her best friend, Alexa, so any time they can spend together is a good day in Reese's books :) On March 9th we also found out the Blake made the Peewee A lacrosse team! This team is comprised of players born in 2007 & 2008 from the Wizards lax club, Rams lax club and the Fort Saskatchewan lax club. We're so proud Blake was chosen and pumped for the upcoming season!!
March 10th brought a wind-up tournament for Reese and the Ice Queens! They played 2 games in Sherwood Park and in between games had a wind-up party at an art studio in Edmonton. They painted pottery and had pizza and cupcakes :) It was a super fun day!! We had such a great group of young ladies this season, they were a pleasure to coach and all grew so much over the season! I love seeing the development of the girls, it's wonderful to see how much they grow throughout the season. Reese wrapped up the last game with a hat trick, we are so proud of her!!
March 15th - Quinn turned 1!! She spent the day with her friends at "It's a Dogs Life" then came home for a quick nap and a pup-cake :) Quinn brings so much joy to our family, we just love her to bits!! We love taking her to the dog park, for walks and cuddling her! She is approx. 60 lbs and a giant teddybear! She loves her cuddles and loves us fiercly!!
March 16-17th brought the Panthers wind-up tournament in Lacombe, followed by a year in end party back in Edmonton at Plaza Bowl. The Panthers ended up 3rd in their division, which is really awesome! They had such a wonderful team this year, all the girls got along so well and the coaching staff too! I really enjoyed assistant coaching and spending time with everyone! The players grew so much over the season, it was wonderful to see! We will miss everyone and hopefully we'll play together next season!!
March 18th was Blake's turn for a year end party! The Spartans had a blast at FitSet Ninja! This was a challenging year for us all to be honest but Blake persevered and had such an awesome season. He was an amazing defenseman and such a strong player, it was a really great season in that regard for him. And he really enjoyed playing with 2 of his besties so all in all, it was a good year but we are ready for a change, lol! Bring on the Spring season!! The Spartans also participated in one more tournament on March 22-24, the St. Charles spring tournament.
March 25-29th brought a much needed rest - Spring Break! We didn't go very far this year but spent our time with dr. appointments, dog park visits, a family dinner at the KEG and a short trip to Beaumont to visit the Bezan and Hrdlicka families! It was so nice to see my besties and their kids :) Love them all and don't get to see them very often. And we also had a cousin date at the movies with my sister, Connor and Mason!! We visited Landmark Cinemas in St. Albert for the first time and wow, very nice to have recliners while watching a movie! This is definitely our new favorite theater :) During Spring Break the girls and I also took in a few Open A ringette games at the Western Canadian finals in St. Albert. Emerson's ringette coach, Alexis, played in the gold medal final and won! It was a very exciting game and it's also so cool to watch high level ringette!! We also spent a lot of time relaxing, which really to me, is being lazy! And it was glorious!!
We hope your March was marvelous too :)
