Woah .. MAY!!

May has been intense ;) But fun!!

May started out with the Crusher Cup! Cal and Mom decided to make their weekends busier by volunteering to time keep! I guess I shouldn't say "volunteering" as they were paid! The Outriders had a good tourney, bringing home a silver medal on Blake's 12th birthday!! We were lucky enough to fit in a family lunch to celebrate his birthday. We met the Stecyk's and G&G at Red Robin's before the gold medal game! This weekend was also the Veeteretz Year End recital. Thankfully Cal and Blake were able to attend, as Blake's game wasn't until the evening on the 4th! Sometimes the timing works out in our favor ;) At first I wasn't happy about an 8:15 pm game but, turns out it was a blessing! Em had a fantastic season of dance! Each year she grows and learns and advances! It's such a joy to watch her perform and she has made some great friends with her teammates. Looking forward to next season!!

Some of our other May highlights were:
- a date with my sister-in-law Lesley ;) We met up at Moxie's for dinner before going to the Thomas Rhett concert at Rogers Place!! It was such a fun night and so great to catch up with Lesley!!
- Reese attended a Brownies Rally Day! We dropped her off at Walmart where they took a bus to Hawrelak Park for the day! She had a blast :)
- Blake finished the Babysitting Course! He attended classes hosted by his school, which was really nice as they were on early dismissal Thursday's so didn't take any of his evening or weekend time :)
- Grandma Marg visisted!! We're so lucky to have her in our lives and that she is healthy enough to spend time out west with us!!
- Emerson and her group performed for the last time this dance season, at UFest in Borden park. Such a fun event!! We enjoyed some perogies afterwards, of course ;) Later that day Blake's spring team had an exhibition game in Penhold. We've never been to the Penhold rec facility and were quite surprised by how nice it was!!
- We met up with Bev, Katie and Greyson for lunch one afternoon as they were in town for a taekwondo tournament!
- I was lucky enough to take a day off work to volunteer with Blake's class at their field trip to the Bennett Centre. It was a bit emotional for me as this is likely the last field trip I'll be able to volunteer for with Blake as he moves on to grade 7 next year. Crazy!!

And May ended with a busy day on the 28th, as Blake and Cal attended grade 6 camp at Camp Yowochas. They had an awesome day and evening!! I'm so glad Cal could take the day off to attend with Blake! The same day, I went out for dinner and to the Carrie Underwood concert with my sister and friends Adriana and Steph. It was so much fun and man, can that lady put on a performance!!

May 31st was my parents 39th wedding anniversary - Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! Love you guys!!

Our May long weekend was very different than our usual but I'll write a seperate post on that :) Talk to you all soon!!
