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 […]

Happy belated Birthday to Daddy
Happy, kind of belated, birthday to Daddy. I say it’s kind of belated because while we celebrated Daddy’s birthday at the beginning of August, this is the first time I’ve had a chance to put together a post about it…so you see it’s kind of belated. Anyway, Daddy had a wonderful few birthday celebrations. In […]
Cars, Planes and Everything that Goes!
One place that Sean and I have wanted to venture out to with the boys is the Reynold’s-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin. It’s a very cool place dedicated to everything that goes — cars, planes, farm equipment. And as Owen and Brandon are fascinated with vehicles of all types, we thought this would be right up […]
More Summer Holiday Fun
Owen and Brandon are endlessly in awe of the different vehicles on the road. Who drives the concrete mixer, the trucks and the motorcycles, the yellow bus? One thing they do know is that Grandpa drives the city bus. The big blue city bus. Lucky for us, Grandpa drives in our area, so there have […]
Water Fun
Our summer while has been sunny most days with temperatures that we really can’t complain about really hasn’t gotten that hot. We haven’t seen a week’s worth of +30 temps that find you sweating when you go to bed and just as sweaty when you wake, with windows wide open in hopes that a breeze […]
Happy 3rd Birthday Brandon!
Wow, I am 3 yrs old today. I weigh 38.80 lbs and I am 39.25 inches tall. I am wearing 4T tops and 3T / 4T bottoms (depending on the store). I wear a size 10 shoe and have worn through more shoes than Mommy expected in the past year. I am still needing my afternoon naps and they […]
Fort Edmonton Park
For our summer holidays this year, we decided to take a few days off and do some activities around the city. Fort Edmonton Park is one of our favorites and so of course it made it to our top 5 list. Owen and Brandon enjoyed it much more than I expected this year. I am […]
Capital Ex
OMG I am so behind with my posts. The summer got away from me, having too much time doing things and taking pictures but not having enough time to send the pictures out and talk about them. So here we are mid-September and I am trying to remember all the fun we had this summer. […]
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 […]
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 […]
