Emma's 7th Birthday

Over Thanksgiving weekend Emma turned 7. She's my heart. My one baby. And growing into a great kid. I just love love love her.

First came Party Day! Emma had an art class party at 4 Cats Art Studio in Langford. Emma takes weekly classes here,it's a really great place - always fun and cheerful.

The next day was Em's actual birthday, and we did whatever she wanted. We opened gifts, played, went for breakfast in our PJ's, went on a shopping spree (she's so my kid),

and went and got candy at the store - the really bad kind that I always say no to.

 

Emma's gift from her Dad & I was tickets to see her idol, Selena Gomez, in concert. She and I went a few days after her birthday, and we had a blast.

 Being Emma's Mom is great.

Today is the first day of the 2011/2012 NHL season. I am so excited. I love my Vancouver Canucks.

 Love. LOVE. Adore. It's a bit of an obsession. 

I am especially partial to a certain d-man. #3. Kevin Bieksa. He's really popular at the moment (maybe because of the western conference winning goal he scored in double overtime), but I have taken some serious heat for loving him the last few years. Oh, and the trade rumors....*sigh*.... Luckily for me, he signed a new contract this off-season, and he will be a Canuck for a good long time.

 Oh, and he can really wear a suit......

This will never, ever, ever will get old:

I would some how like to put this on a t-shirt:

Happy New Season to all fans - it's going to be a great one! 

I can't wait to get home, put on my jersey, and see that puck drop.  

Summer 2011

I miss it already. The sun, the lake, my family, my friends. It was a good one.
