Bowling!






Well us kids got out and decided to have a good time at the bowling alley!
We doned our tackiest bowling shirts or the ugliest shirts we could find and we were off.
Turns out 5 pins bowling is much harder then I remember as a kid.
There were 6 of us all together: Christine, Mandy, Peter, Kirb, Jay & myself so playing one game took up a significant amount of time. We were just into our second game when the 15min warning came up on the screen - Now it was time for speed bowling. Speed bowling is where we go as fast as we can, hurdling the bowling ball down the alley without waiting for the screen to lift before throwing. There were a couple instances where people were faster then the screen and end up slamming the ball into the screen without touching the pins. On one occasion this actually worked out for the best as the screen was just starting to raise as Kirby's ball smashed into it.. The screen then knocked over all of his pins.. Chris walked away the big winner of speed bowling and Peter had some major bowling skills we were not aware of until he released his talent on the floor.
I also discovered how to put video on the blog! YAY! So the last image in the picture is actually a dark video of Kirby bowling - Enjoy!

I'm never drinking again!



We went over to one of my co-workers house on Saturday and had a really fun time.. She has a Nintendo WII so we played bowling, golf, tennis.. You name it.. I am reigning bowling champion and Kirby worked his magic with golf.. (My Australian co-worker now refers to Kirb as 'Tiger' and is desperate for a rematch).. Now here comes the funny part.. This same Australian bloke sent me this picture bright and early Monday morning.. Problem is I had no idea someone had a camera??!? I understand there are much more incriminating photos to follow periodically to 'brighten my day' but he assured me none are of myself.. If any of them are good I will toss them on here as well.
Sunday was as unproductive as they get as I spent it nursing my hangover trying to keep myself from getting sick.. (Kirby was feeling just dandy and was helping a friend move)Whilst I lay comatose. I was finally able to roll myself out of bed by 3:00pm.. We ordered some Chinese food (a combo for Kirby and some war won ton soup for myslef.. I got through half before I wrapped it up for todays lunch and then crawled back in bed at 10:00 hoping that I could sleep the rest off.. Turns out that's not so as I am still sick today.. Hence my title.. I am never drinking again!
** Ok so I added a 2nd pic.. This is my friend Andi (this was her house) and her brother doing the Manwell Family tradition of Indian Leg wrestling.. I think Andi won but I really cant remember!

Cheers, to new beginnings.

As some of you may have heard.. After 10 Months of application processes, interviews and meetings Kirby has finally been able to secure a spot on Calgary's Police Force.
Const. Adolph will be starting his classes April 16th and will be gratuating sometime in October.
So everyone raise a glass and join me in congratulating Kirb on a job well done!
It will be a very exciting year for us adjusting to the changes our life will be taking us and planning for the future.
Wedding plans are underway and we should be sending out info on that shortly.
