It’s summer and with summer comes ice cream and even better than just ice cream, is ice cream in a cone. One particularly hot July evening, Owen and Brandon had ice cream in a cone for dessert. Of course the ice cream choice is chocolate, as it is not only the tastiest but also makes the […]

Capital Ex Parade
It’s the end of July and that means that Capital Ex (formerly Klondike Days, which most of us still refer to it as) is in town. Owen is 4 and Brandon is just a couple months shy of his 3rd birthday and Sean and I thought it was due time to take the boys to […]
Family Time at Aunty Claudette’s
Happy Engagement Aunty Claudette and Uncle Phil! Aunty Claudette and Uncle Phil held a big family dinner at their place one Saturday in July. It was a dinner for Uncle Phil’s family and Aunty Claudette’s family to get together and meet each other, since this time next year, we’ll be on big happy family. And […]
More Play Time
More play time at the Korsan home. As I have mentioned before, Owen and Brandon have such imaginations (as all little boys and girls do) and one such evening they chose to play Superhero’s. Owen donning his cape and construction worker outfit and Brandon donning the cape, mask and a few other accessories, they searched high and […]
Happy Birthday Mommy
Happy Birthday Mommy. Owen and Brandon were just as excited for me for my birthday. They helped to open my cards and enjoyed my birthday cakes – yes plural – with me. The Saturday before my birthday, we had a bbq’d chicken dinner with corn on the cob, potatoes and caesar salad. The weather was […]
Oh Canada!
Happy Birthday Canada! I think it’s official, I think our trip to the legislative grounds each Canada Day is now a tradition. Yes there are people everywhere, yes you are weaving through crowds with a chariot but there is so much to do and experience, that how could we miss it! Of course the first thing to do is get […]
And everything in between
And I have a bunch of great pictures that happened in between everything else and they are so great, I can’t just keep them to myself. One evening, Owen grabbed a hold of Daddy’s keys; Owen’s comment was Now I get to sit in Daddy’s seat in the van! Oh Owen, Mommy doesn’t want to […]
How does your garden grow?
I think I have mentioned this in past posts, but this year I planted a vegetable garden with the basics – carrots, peas, green onions, lettuce and a few extras – green peppers, broccoli and sunflowers. It’s nearing the end of June and I am quite pleased with my garden. There are plants growing and […]
Mom and Dad Time
We have a number of people who are so good to us, who give us opportunities to get out on our own without the kids tagging along. Those breaks are especially appreciated by Sean and I. In June we had one such evening and as it was such a wonderful sunny evening, we took the […]
Jurassic Forest
Jurassic Forest, a relatively new dinosaurs park for Alberta, opened last summer and this year we decided it would be a cool park to check out. It’s a bit of a drive, near Gibbons but not too far for a day trip. The weekend we went, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac, Grandma and Grandpa H […]
