I do know just how blessed I am to have a great family, my health and really no worries in the world!
Our weekend has been such a great weekend..... let me share with you some of the details!
FRIDAY NIGHT:
Jacques got home from work and we made homemade pizza (including an amazing dough from a new recipe I got from a friend).
I put our new FLIP video camera to the test by videoing us making the dough & pizza - yay. (only one problem, i can't figure out how to convert the video format over to an mpeg or mp4 in order to make a video using windows movie maker - any out there have any suggestions?)

SATURDAY MORNING:
We got up Saturday morning and got ready to go to Noah's basketball jamboree in Centerville (or so I thought)! LOL We arrived in Centerville, went into the school and went to pay. I asked the man if we had to pay for players. He responded with a funny look at Noah and said 'is he playing?'. I said yes. We continued to pay for Jacques and I alone and went past the table. I asked the man if he knew where the teams were gathering. He said 'what team does he play for?'. I said, 'Grand Falls'. He said, 'but Grand Falls is playing right now'. Ummmm..... He continued to ask, 'does he play for the girls or boys team?'. I said, 'it's a co-ed team'.
Eeeesh....then I realized that I had probably made a mistake (considering Florenceville is very close to Centerville)!!! It turns out, the tournament at this school was girls only. This explains the look on the mans face when he looked at Noah and said 'is he playing?'!!
OK...so we got to Florenceville on time still but soon realized that the games were running about a half an hour late! Feeeuuuu.
They played hard, had fun and came home with a metal (just for participation only).
SATURDAY AFTERNOON:
On the way home from the basketball games...we had to go pick up Noah's new guitar.
He starts acoustic guitar lessons on Wednesday and we had NO guitar. We did have a little guitar that my dad had given Noah several years ago, but the bridge mysteriously went missing?? So, to fix it it was going to cost us almost as much than to get a new/used full size guitar with the case. So, Noah is working towards paying for 1/2 the price of the guitar and is one happy boy.
He is SO excited...he say's he is living his dream, that he has always dreamed of playing guitar. I tend to think that these lessons may go better than piano lessons. I remember for years now, he's been carrying around this little guitar that he got from Grandpa....check out this video from Dec 2007. My little rock star!
As for his new guitar, he's awfully proud!
His favourite part of the guitar was this little pick holder that came on the guitar!!!

I took guitar lessons as a kid...didn't stick, I couldn't play anything now for the life of me...lol. I hope Noah does much better than I did!
