the baby came!

(picture from moms cell phone!)

Meet baby Hailey Rae Walsh! She was born this morning at 9:38 a.m. and was 7 lbs 14oz! I think she is adorable and I am so excited to be her Auntie.

Both her and mommy Alex are doing great!

I'm still here

I have been super busy and thought about blogging so many times and then always loose the energy when I get down to buisness:)

Some news..

I should be an aunt any day..dang baby won't come out hehe.

With this auntie buisness I think my bank account will dwindle a bit more rapidly because I am addicted to being an Aunt and spoiling little WALSHY to death!!! Oh dear me!

My mommy is on strike...please pray..

I have taken up lane swimming as a way to relieve stress and genuinely get a bit healthier, or a lot healthier whatever happens.

I miss ya all, take care..will post something real soon :)

Basketball

On of my youth is a basketball player. This means about once a week I find myself at a basketball game cheering her on hoping their team wins the game.

I have never like basketball.

As of late though I have been thinking maybe I never gave basketball a fair chance. I mean I did only try out once or twice when I was in Grade 6? Mr. Wilks was pretty intense and I was quite frankly pretty short! I did also have no real skills, I even held the basketball wrong when I shot, I was a walking failure at the game. I didn't like the sport because you could never hit anyone and I was always getting fouled (sad face).

Just yesterday though I got thinking.

If only I had learned the rules of basketball I am sure it would have been a different story. As I hear the coach talking to the girls saying "plant your feet if they push you it's a foul" I think that maybe had my Grade 6 coach took the time to really fill me in on the "tricks to not get fouls and still be awesome" I may have enjoyed basketball.

To be honest though I am pretty sure I still would not have played it!

"Quinoa"

This is my new favorite food. I especially love mixing it with black beans and corn. It is so healthy and oh so yummy. When I was home in BC my mom bought me my own "Quinoa Cook Book"

I was stoked!

Ben was less stoked!

I have a tried a few dishes, some have gotten a 5/10 others a 9/10 nothing has made it to the 10/10 on "Bens scale" anyways, haha.

I always ask him about 17 times during dinner "do you like it?" - He always gives me his disgruntled face. Our worst meal he said "I just shouldn't like it, everything about Ben should not like this, but I don't hate it" - hence the 5/10

The 9/10 he was more pumped about, even went for seconds. After dinner I asked him his thoughts, Ben said "Don't make it everyday but its pretty good"!

He likes to give me those ultimatums otherwise he knows he would be eating "this stuff" (how he refers to it) every night!

I love that baby pizza pop eating benny actually tries Quinoa, it makes my heart smile!
