Long Overdue Visit with My Mum
As most of you know - my mum usually visits every month... however, since taking a job working at H&R Block for tax season and the school board begging her to come back temporarily - she hasn't been able to come out to visit. So after 84 days since coming to Calgary, she was able to sneak away this weekend for two nights.

We managed to squeeze in a game (or two, or three) of scrabble, as most of you know our obsession with the game!

We typically play with the regular deluxe version of scrabble, but recently I've found a new version - it's called SUPER SCRABBLE. It has a larger game board and more spaces and quadruple point squares. Plus, 200 letter tiles which allows you to make words not possible in the standard game of only 100 letter tiles!

We had so much fun playing - We played two games on the "super" board, both scoring in the 900!! Here are the 50 pointers (when you use all your 7 tiles for one word) that we made in the two games:

Chris: Kelly:
Fringier Tossing
Pleasing Ranchero
Partions Listened
Coyotes Bloating
Mendings Trimmings
Southers

Having this many 50 pointers in two games in unheard of in the regular game so if anyone is interested in playing with the Super Board - let me know!!

SUPERMAN

So as most of you know, Kyran is totally fanatical about Superman. His "first" cape was a tea towel clipped on. Then he graduated to a superman shirt with a cape velcroed to the shoulders. NOW- he has discovered that blankets are also great as they are HUGE.... oh my, what next!

Lisa, Debby, Jenn & I went to a Cookbooks Company Cooking Class.

This one was "Freezer Hors D'oeuvers. We had such a blast! We made all the food and then they do a "cocktail" reception after - which consisted of all of our creations (listed below) and of course wine!

Kyran Fishing ~ Mar 2007

(nope, didn't catch any fish today)

Why Does Kelly Do the Shopping & Cooking?
It NEVER fails - whenever I ask Ross to pick up something (one or two things) he ALWAYS comes home with a load full of JUNK!

I called Ross on his way home from work today and asked him to ONLY pick up some water chestnuts for an appetizer I make as we are having my in-laws over. As usual he comes home - half hour to an hour late with 10 bags of stuff (over $100). This time I couldn't resist but to take pictures - I thought it was a Joke!

As usual (because I NEVER buy these things) he brought home: white bread, chicken pies, pizza pops, alpha gettes, hot dogs, kraft dinner, pizza, hungry man meals, microwave dinners, specialty cheese, mr. noddles, apple pie, cheese mozza sticks, croissants & chunky soup!

I'm sure a lot of other wives can relate - but seriously, this is ridicoulous! He is fortunate that I just love to cook and cook healthly meals almost every night (with the exception of pizza night)! If not, he would have a diet, which consists of ONLY what you see in the pictures!

March 9th ~ Day @ the Park.
Starr, Dee-Ann & I took the opportunity when the weather was nice (plus 15) to take the kids for a play date at the park. Here are some shots from Dee-Ann (Click) the pro-photographer.

Bebo vs. Blogger

I started using Bebo a while ago so I could share family photo's, however, I quickly realized that my photo's were too large and Bebo would reject them. Because of this I decided to start a blog to post pictures.

I've now realized that Blogger doesn't allow you to post videos - but Bebo does! AHHHHHH. Anyway, if you want to check out Kyran skiing this year (and more posts to come) then you'll have to go to our Bebo account @ rossandkelly or http://www.bebo.com/invite/17231487a293849994b229
