Golf !!!

Golfing was actually the same day of the "River Sunny Day" post! It was just later in the evening. I get free gold and then my parents and Husband get it discounted, so it's well worth going! Plus our golf course is in Excellent condition. It is actually the best it's looked in 10 YEARS! According to the Vice Pres. So, it's an Awesome compliment to us maintenance crew workers, who are the ones who make the course look as good as it does.

Our Evening Golf together as a Family was very Fun! I was hitting pretty well (I go to the Driving Range A LOT) and so was James and Pacha. Mom was a little tired already from the days events so she wasn't at the top of her game, but she wasn't doing horrible I think. I think that she thought that she was though.

Anyways, so Dad and James had a turning point during the game. We were a little over halfway done with the game (hole#7) when Dad was driving and ran over James' Ball! Mom was like, "You Ran over his ball!" Then he chuckled, and she said, "You did it on purpose!?" and then he chuckled even more ha ha. So from that point it was on. The next tee off (#8) James and I stole the key from their kart and when they couldn't start it we drove by laughing dangling their key out of the Kart. Then James and Dad tried knocking each others balls into the sand trap. Then at the next hole (#9) James was teeing off and Dad took his club and ran it up his leg to mess him up. (They giggled a lot) Dad and mom then offered me a ride and then (Un-purposefully) drove off. Then James tried to run over mom's ball but it was just knocked out of the way, so he turned and tried it again but it rolled away without being pounded into the ground. They kept on laughing and joking and it was really fun overall. Boys are silly like that sometimes. (Or all the time)*

Love Always,

P.S. We went next to some geese (@ #6) and they were hissing at mom and she scolded them. It would hiss when she wasn't looking and then she turn and it would be like DOo Do Doo. Oh geese....

Sunny River Day

Today at work the owner, Mrs. D'ARCY, had her own tournament (She's 84yrs. old). So...at 11:00 our bosses gave us free pizza, sent us home early and PAID US as if we had left at 1:30! (That's when our day ends) :) YAY!!! I was super excited about that! So what was I going to do with that extra time I had off? Hmmm....On a hot day? I decided that I wanted to go to the river. But whom with? So...I called Sarah (My sister-in-law) and we took her three children and Zoe to the river. Jackson is too young to swim (or walk for that matter) so he sat in his little baby carriage for most of the time.

But Liam, Kylee and Zoe were all set and ready to SWIM! None of them actually know HOW to swim quite yet, but they sure loved playing in the water! Once the inflatable shark was good to go we held it next to the shore (both Sarah and I) and ALL the kids jumped on it!

They ALL wanted a turn, but...they ended up all toppling in the water (which was not quite a foot deep). Liam stood up, so he was fine, but I grabbed Zoe (2yrs) because Liam had landed ON her. Then Kylee went floating away up her face went and under and up and under, it all happened pretty fast but Sarah got her and toppled in herself while attempting to rescue her and then once she had her had trouble standing up ha ha it was kinda finny. I know it sounds horrible but ... there was really nothing you could do but Laugh at the entire situation, it was ridiculous and funny All at once! Sarah laughed too, and was REALLY glad no one saw that ha ha. But...I guess it doesn't really matter now that I've told all of you about it ha ha!

BESIDES THAT, it was an overall enjoyable time. Only ONE child on the shark at a time was the rule after that mini incident and no-one was aloud to walk in the water deeper than their belly button. If we couldn't see it they were too far! Liam kept testing the boundaries, but he never got the chance to cover his button.

Sarah's first attempt to ride the shark didn't go so well. She sat and BLOOP she was in the river yet again!!!

It was quite humerus, I was just disappointed I didn't video tape it! I called for one of the kids to grab my camera, but they were too busy with their food, and By the time I got it out, she had gotten out of the water (as in she was no longer sitting in it). The day died down and we put all the kids down for their naps, and we plan on another river adventure but...without the kids. An adult day to float the river.

Love Always,

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! (July 1st) And What better way to Celebrate Canada Day than with a Gun! (O.k. I KNOW that I’ve Totally done ALL of my last 3 posts completely out of order, but that’s O.k. Their in Order backwards...sort of?, so…it works). SO, I worked, as usual, on Canada Day, but what happened AFTER work is what REALLY matters, right?! James and I went over to his boss’ house (Justin) to do some Shooting! :) James attempted first and wasn't really getting all that much. He got a little frustrated.

But then It was my turn (ten shots a time) and with my True ALASKAN Self I totally rocked it up! I hit almost every time! For like my first round. The first thing I went for was the milk jug, and since everything was filled with H2O, I hit the Jug and WHOOSH! the back had totally blown out and ALL the water drained! It was cool! But after that I went for the water bottles and I hit those and they started to drain as well :) In my second round of firing I missed probably about twice (twice each round) so that's 8/10 That's a score of 80% ! ! ! It was awesome. I kept hitting the same spot and then I would switch to a new target and hit that same target! I felt SO good! and proud! If I hadn't rocked it up I would have given ALASKANS a bad NAME! and I couldn't fail my little country.

I feel good to know that I'm a natural at shooting. I did great while I was in Alaska but to do even better then next time round like 5 to 6 years later was AWESOME! James did better his next time round and hit the bottles more. It was great fun! I hope we can go shooting again sometime. Justin would use ANY excuse to get to play with his gun.

Love Always,

Calgary Stampede Night!

Talk about Magical, one of the best, nights of my life! But...to tell the ENTIRE story, we must start from the beginning.

So...I woke up and went to work, as usual. James and I had plans to go to the Calgary Stampede, Monday the 6th, after work and hit the Simple Plan concert, which was free with admission to the park. I had booked off Tuesday because I knew I wouldn't even get to bed till WELL PAST 11p.m. that night, and I was NOT going to wake up at 4:30 for work the next day.

While at Work on Monday I was put on the duty of Side winding. Well...While on the 6th hole I accidentally sunk it into one of the bunkers and REALLY got it stuck. My boss, Mike, came and pulled it out after about 15min of pulling and pushing. It was then Lunch time so after we got it out we headed back to the shop for lunch. I was eating lunch when Mike came in and was like, "Angela, before you head out after lunch can you come into my office?" Everyone around me was like, "DUN DUn Dun!" And I literally had NO Idea what to expect! So, I go in there and Mike and Kim (My Boss and His Boss) are in there and are all like, we're a little shorthanded tomorrow, so...You can't have the day off." I was like, "Are you Serious?" They were all, "Yeah." Then I stood there confused and dumbfounded for a moment. (Video is "The New Cities")
"JUST KIDDING!" Then they pulled out free passes to Stampede Park for me AND James, PLUS TWO TICKETS TO A VIP LOUNGE AT THE COCA COLA STAGE!!! (Called "The Red Box") Where they would serve FREE FOOD AND DRINKS and I would get to see the concert without having mosh pit horror stories or anything! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!I was in total SHOCK! YAY!!!! was all I could muster out at the time, and "Wow." As I walked out the mechanic was like "See you at 5:30." I stopped and was like, "That was a joke right?" They just laughed. (I think it was a joke, and if it wasn't...I didn't go in this morning ha ha)!

So James and I made it to Stampede Park by 3 O'clock ish. (We met up in Calgary and then hopped on the C-Train there). We got lots of FREE stuff there, mostly because we didn't want to pay for anything. Dr. Ho's Electric shock on the muscles we got to use for free, that was nice. A free Ring cleaning. Free food samples. Free AMAZING massage chair usage. and other stuff as well. We Ran into his 2nd Cousins there and chatted it up. Overall the park was very enjoyable to walk around at. We even saw this hypnotist at the Coke Stage that was HILARIOUS! Weird bird people passing us, marching bands walking through the park and the like. (That picture shows the calgary tower, before simple plan came. We were IN Downtown Calgary).

THEN, it was time for the CONCERTS to begin! We first saw "The New Cities" they are a band from Ontario and then SIMPLE PLAN!, who I learned are also from Canada (East Coast French Side).

They were SOOOO Funny! Demanding Hot dogs and popcorn (as a joke) and then some guy brought them some! And one of the dudes was like "Where's my hot dog!" and another band member was like, "Dude they're right there." "Oh, O.k." They said lots of random stuff. It was funny. I HAD SUCH A BLAST! I want to go to another concert SOON! That was my first Concert Ever and it was Amazing! I loved it! and the best part with the Red Box was that We got to have fun without having people push into us, smelly sweaty people, getting drinks splattered all over us (people were thrashing water in the air) seeing girls boobs from flashing the band (but we saw the back of them doing it ha ha) or anything else that could have made the concert bad. It was great! I loved it! And I am TOTALLY going to write a THANK YOU to my Bosses! YAY!!!! That was SO FUN!!!! (Heavenly Father Blesses us SO much! He's SO AWESOME! I Mean, What were the chances the WE would get passes to the "Red Box" (Only 12 Seats in there! And usually High end Corporate People!) AND there was only US and ONE other couple in their 20's with our servers! It was sweet! Pretty unbelievable chances! THAT was for SURE a blessing from God!)

P.S. Happy 11 month Aniversary

Love Always,

Mrs. Fray Fray

SPRUCE MEADOWS

Happy 4th of July!!! O.K. ... So this technically wasn't posted on the 4th of July, but...We did attend the World Class show thing at Spruce Meadows on the 4th of July. So...I can still say it. James and I received free tickets to the horse Jumping events at Spruce Meadows from my parents, who were unable to attend, and we had extra tickets to give out so we invited Cory and Aubrey (Our Friends from North Calgary) to come with us! It was really enjoyable to watch. We saw the TD tournament and watched the military parade thing. The parade was just a little long, but the actual tournament was AMAZING! It was an awesome show to watch. Some of the riders actually had some trouble keeping their horses calm because a thunder storm rolled in overhead and one girl was even thrown in front of her horse and almost had her head stomped on! And then I caught video of her horse running Wild. Then it started POURING rain! REALLY pouring. But not to worry. We had a canopy over our seating area, so it was cool. The horses kept jumping and ironically a man form the U.S.A. won the tournament. A Will Simpson. He rode twice, he received third place on one horse and on the other he placed first! On the 4th of July too! :) AND he got first while it was POURING out! It was Awesome! and Amazing that the horse did slip at all! Overall it was a great experience. Well. Once the tournament was over it miraculously stopped raining and we hit the dog show. It was super cute. They had dog teams race one another with all sorts of breeds and had them race individually. We had fun, and Cory and Aubrey's 3yr old loved all the animals. She had the BEST time out of all of us I think.

Love Always,

Mrs. Fray Fray

Sleep Over

"When Farrah Faucet died, God asked her what she wanted, and she said "for all the children in the world to be safe" so he killed Micheal Jackson." - Family Friend (Steve Spackman).

So...On Father's day Weekend, after James got his New bike! :)we also had our Niece Zoe over for a slumber party and then took her to church the next day. She met a friend her age there (Bella) and Bella kept trying to come into our row in Sacrament meeting and when her mother tried to stop her she'd be like "I'm going to see my new friend!" It was super cute watching them together. She even drew Zoe a picture and explained it to her ha ha

Bella was so excited to have another little girl her age in Nursery. All the rest are boys and Bella bullies them ha ha but she likes Zoe, so she didn't bully her.

Love Always,
Mrs. Fray Fray*

SIMPLE PLAN CONCERT!!!!

Well, in 11 DAYS! James and I are going to the Calgary Stampede and for the price of admission only we get to see SIMPLE PLAN!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!! I am SOOOO SUPER DUPER Excited! I've NEVER been to a Concert concert before and I've always wanted to and seeing simple plan will be like AMAZING!!!! SO EXCITED!!! (can you tell?) TEHE!!! YAY!!! I'm STOKED for it. I even booked work off the next day so that I could sleep in ha ha because the concert isn't till like 9pm or something and that's WAY past MY bedtime. Seeing as how I start actually WORKING at 5:30am every morning (meaning I have to BE there earlier than that). Yeah....Sigh....I CAN'T WAIT! I need to practice their songs ha ha!

But, BESIDES that. On Father's Day James got his first year anniversary present early. IT's a totally awesome BIKE! I'll have to post a photo later but it has the nice breaking system....whatever it's called. And it's green ... O.K. ... So, I'm not THAT great at Bike things but it's REALLY REALLY nice! It was the best price on that bike that we could find too! (Even cheaper than the states!) It was a great deal. So we're both pretty excited about it.

You should have seen the grin on his face when he got it. It was priceless...

Love Always,
Mrs. Fray Fray

(And yes Heather, that means Disc Breaks).
