We finally had our first Spartan race of the 2014 season! This is Kris, Kyley and I before the race. Here is a post race photo. Not that muddy I know but this is clearly where the distinction between a “mud run” and an obstacle course race starts to show. The main focus for both […]

Happy 5th Birthday, Brandon!
Happy 5th birthday, Brandon! Brandon is weighing 48.80 lbs and is 46 inches tall now! Even with this growth Brandon still seems to fit into size 5/6 tops but is struggling with bottoms, size 5 fits in the waist but is getting too short in length but size 6 is just too baggy! And Brandon […]
Beach Day
We recently discovered Gull Lake; it is a wonderful spot just before Red Deer with a great sandy beach, nice grass area for a picnic, a playground and of course an ice cream shack. We only made it out once last year, as the weather didn’t cooperate on the other days we had planned. This […]
Summer Holiday
Our summer holiday was all planned – take the boys to Banff to see the mountains then go onto Calgary to see the Calgary Zoo! Well all those plans fell through when Southern Alberta experienced a most horrible flood. So instead we turned our summer holiday plans into a stay-cation. We stayed at home and […]
Happy 6th Birthday Owen!!
Happy 6th Birthday Owen! Owen is 6 years old now! Owen weighs 56 lbs and is 48 inches tall. He is growing so much and is in between a size small and medium for tops and size 6 or 7 for pants (if they are pants he needs the size 7 for the length). Owen’s […]

Happy Birthday Mommy!!
My birthday came this year with hot hot sunny weather. The best weather a girl could ask for — ahem – the best weather a girl with air conditioning could ask for! +30 weather, means dinner on the deck in the sweltering heat, filling the kiddie pool with freezing cold water for the kids (and […]
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day to everyone! Our plan was to spend the morning with Aunty Claudette and our wonderful neighbours and visit the Devonian Botanical Gardens and celebrate Canada’s birthday but to our dismay the clouds came out and even before we stepped out of the house…correction…Tim Horton’s, the rain started to come. First it was […]
May…part 2
Owen’s birthday party theme this year was pirates. It may have started out with the boys discovering the Disney movie Peter Pan and the weekly Disney Channel tv show, Jake and the Neverland Pirates but let’s be honest…swords, eye patches, gold coins and being able to say….arrrrgh – that has to be why it is […]
April
Juggling all these balls in the air on a daily basis gets tough to maintain and sometimes some balls have to be placed down (not dropped) to keep everyone’s sanity! So one of my balls that I juggle is how to keep up with my blog but keep my sanity too. So sometimes my blog […]
