run, run as fast as you can...

It is official. I have now become a Stewart.
Now, many of you thought that happened when I married Bruce nearly 14 years ago, but no. This morning at 6am I left the confines of dreamland and my nice, warm bed...turned on the computer, and...signed up for a roadrace!!
"Sounds crazy to me, with a capital C" was what I would have said before I was a runner. Now I am just really excited.
Melissa's Road Race is run in Banff and I am going to tie up my laces and be on the start line this September with some of my best friends. I'm a newbie to this race, but it's celebrating it's 30th Anniversary. Bruce will come and cheer me on. Now that he's into multi-sport events he doesn't have time in his training schedule to train for a 22K (13.67 miles for my American friends). I told him if I could do it, anyone could.
Gotta run..

The next post was a nightmare to create. It took me ...like a dozen times to get the video component to upload! Maybe some of you out there can relate to the madness.
Then, after I crossed all my fingers and gave the computer one of my "Oh...NO YOU DIDN'T" scary mom looks...well, see for yourself. It's the best I could do
Have a great night. Maybe you, too, will be inspired to get your groove on!

so you think you can dance...Canada edition

The other night we had some family time...no work, meetings or activities. I think that is what heaven is like. Anyways, the boys put on some music and that is how the "busta move" session began. Some really worked the floor and some not so much, as you will see. I LOVE this video because whenever I watch it I always get a big smile on my face. I never would have thought I would be the mom of 2 totally different boys; nor did I forsee that my husband would be an original b-boy himself! What a life...life is good!

We're having a FIESTA

In our house, we celebrate Mexican Thursday, our own family tradition. It just seemed that for the longest time each Thursday dinner was some kind of Mexican meal...tacos, fajitas, etc. So now it is one of our favorite meals of the week. Unfortunately, we were mising sombreros..these cowboy hats have to do!
What are some of your family traditions? We'd love to hear about them.

And my personal fave, Brucie doing the dishes!!! What a good guy.
