We are half way through summer (even though it really doesn’t feel like summer — don’t get me started)…let’s start with the tail end of soccer season – the Tim Bits Jamboree. As from most of the soccer season we battled rain outs and why should the Jamboree be any different. We smiled through the […]

Rides, Games and Army Tanks!!
We woke to the sun shining and bright blue skies, the perfect day for going to the fair grounds — Capital Ex! We started with the rides. There was the Merry Go Round, a couple rollercoasters, the cars and motorcycles and the Bumble Bee ride too! Then it was onto the games…Owen and Brandon were […]
Pancakes and Parades!
It’s that time again, time for Capital Ex (or as most of us lovingly remember it as Klondike Days or K-Days). Yes the line ups are long, the food is horrible for you and it is thousands of people but every kid HAS to experience it, right!? The pancake breakfast was put on at Mom, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Happy (belated) Family Day!
Happy (belated) Family Day everyone! I usually like to take the boys to something for family day, we’ve done Telus World of Science and the Royal Alberta Museum in the past. This year though I wasn’t feeling any of the events but I think our day ended up being pretty cool. We started the day over […]
Fun in your own backyard
One Sunday afternoon we ended up at West Edmonton Mall and the boys noticed there was this pirate ship inside the mall?! Could they go on it? Sean and I weren’t sure, we’ve lived in Edmonton our whole life but had never gone on the boat. hummm….walking over to the ship we noticed guest services […]
Family, Turkey, Superhero’s, Birthday cake and more…
Life got a little crazy, again, and now that things have calmed down a bit and I’ve had time to survey things around me, I realize my poor wonderful blog has been sitting by the way side for much too long. Sorry guys! The month of October was filled with fun holidays, birthday’s and some […]
Brandon’s 3rd Birthday Party
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 […]
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 […]
