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 […]

Brandon’s 3rd Birthday Shoot
With Brandon’s 3rd birthday coming up, I tried to get organized, plan ahead and get a picture of Brandon to use for his 3 year blog post (a little secret – normally the birthday picture is a frantic couple days before the birthday, setting up the studio and getting Owen or Brandon to cooperate and […]
Sesame Street Live
Sesame Street came to Edmonton again this year. Last year Sean and I debated on whether to take the boys or not, we opted for not as we didn’t know how they would fare at 3 and almost 2 yrs old. This year Sesame Street came again and we jumped at the opportunity to take […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Trip to the Playground
There were a few days in June where the weather was sunny and the mosquito’s had not yet gotten bothersome. That evening Aunty Claudette was over and Owen and Brandon wanted to show off their bike riding skills and ride to the playground. Aunty and Dad were all for it and headed out. Owen was […]
Practice Cake
It was the beginning of May and Owen’s fourth birthday was coming up. The decision on the cake changed every day, every hour, so finally I asked Owen, what kind of birthday cake would you like for your birthday? Cars or Spider-man. Owen picked Spider-man. I was able to find a Spider-man cake pan from […]
Our Aunty Rocks!
The boys have these too cute t shirts and before anyone assumes anything I will admit it was me that bought them and not one of the boy’s Aunty’s. Owen and Brandon’s favorite thing about the shirts is the guitars. Now the sippy cups….well those have been sitting in the cupboard for quite some time […]
