Kye Hockey

Today was such a wonderful day!! Sorry about the quality of these photos, I took all of them with my cell phone because I just couldn’t resist. The boys started playing hockey this morning. We met a lovely group of people who give up their Saturday mornings to coach hockey. Kye is playing under 7s and Cady, under 13s. They both did so well and they love it!! I’m very happy for them and they can’t wait for next Saturday.

Tomorrow Jen, Erin and Cady are taking part in a mountain bike race, the Dunblane March Hare AND I have decided to ride too!! Oh my word, I am extremely nervous, I have never ridden in a MTB race before so naturally, I am terrified!!! Did I type enough exclamation marks back there?? What if I don’t finish, what if it’s too hard!! Ok, time to breathe… Yes, I have decided to ride the 10km race, I know it’s only 10km but it’s off-road and to me that’s huge. My hubby is a big MTB rider and he is so excited that I’m going to take part, the bikes are loaded on the car, so there’s no turning back now! Did I mention that I’m also quite excited?? Ok, well, I’ll let you know how it goes, wish me luck!

Weaving and Bike Riding

Photo taken with Instagram

Kye has been working on his rainbow stick weaving today, he sat there for about 45 minutes totally absorbed in what he was doing. He just has to weave the last colour band of mauve and then his scarf is finished. Caiden is going to make one next.

Other wonderful news is that Kye can ride his bike, by himself! He is thrilled! Isn’t it fantastic when children reach certain milestones, sometimes early, sometimes later but always at the perfect time that is right for each of them. 

Have a lovely day, I’m off to find a sunny spot and read Wuthering Heights…

Mountain Biking…

Early on Sunday morning Richard and our three older children set off for a town called Walkerville, which is over an hour away. They were taking part in a 9.5 km mountain bike race. There was great excitement and they rode so well through the extremely muddy landscape. The mist was so thick when they arrived that the start time had to be moved back half and hour. Caiden arrived at the finish amongst the top 10 and the girls finished in the top 15! They all received medals and can’t wait for their next race:) I am so happy they have found a sport they all enjoy and I will soon be joining them too:) (I need to get fit first…) I really love the last photo in this post, it was taken by Richard, they all look like warriors emerging from out of the mist after battle…
