So Brandon is 3 years old now and likes to make his own decisions, well, so we asked Brandon, what would you like at your birthday party. The answer was simple, a bouncy house with a slide and a Tonka Tonka cake made by Aunty Claudette. It was done. The theme, place and type of […]

Brandon is 3 yrs old
My baby, Brandon (lovingly called Little B) has turned 3 years old (now lovingly called Big B). We had a small family birthday party for Brandon on the Friday before his party. Lucky for us, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac arrived in Edmonton in time to join us. And what is a party without a […]
Boys, growing up
So I have a 3 and 4 yr old now. My babies are 3 and 4 now! Daddy wrestles and rolls around on the ground with them (Mommy tries but they are getting pretty strong) and then one day, they chose to wrestle with each other — like Daddy does. This feat of picking each […]
Walks with Kosmo
Our pup Kosmo is most patient with us when it comes to his walks. He knows the routine that has to happen, before he gets his daily walk — Owen and Brandon have dinner, play some, have their baths and then story-time in Mommy and Daddy’s bed (with Kosmo at the foot of the bed […]
Prairie Gardens
Another cool spot I discovered through my wonderful Alberta magazine was Prairie Gardens. It is this wonderful farm with u-pick gardens, a row of haunted houses, pirate’s digging for treasures, play areas and fire pits. I am not much of the camping sort, so Aunty Claudette and I thought that roasting hot dogs and marshmallows […]

The sun is out, the weather is hot and the driveway in the evenings is in the shade, how else to pass the time but let your imagination go wild with sidewalk chalk. It’s so messy but so much fun and lasts until the next rain. Owen and Brandon love to fill the driveway with […]
Brothers
Okay so two boys, 16 months apart, is a handful but a handful of fun (most of the time). I am not that familiar with boy play, with shooting guns and wrestling and dragons and ninja’s, but I am working on it and getting better (at least I think I am). Some days I wonder what it would be like […]
Bubbles!
It was another warm day with energy to burn. I was hoping to get some of my flowers watered, pick some weeds – you know the fun stuff. Owen and Brandon were all too excited to get outside and play. I pulled out the bucket of outdoor toys and away we went! The bubble machine […]
Grandparents Day
There is this little known place just east of Edmonton that is all about trains. The Alberta Railroad Museum is a wonderful place tucked in amongst the trees and farmer fields. The first time I heard about it was from my Dad; he took my Grandpa one summer and they both thought it was an […]
