Maui 2008

So we had a chance to get away and celebrate our ten years of marriage. It was a fabulous trip we had a terrific time. Grandma & Grandpa J also join us for the trip. I can say that there was a lot of laughter and fun! We managed to get a few tourist items in and a bit of relaxing well as much relaxing as you do with someone pretending to be a digger on the beach! The weather was a warm the entire time we were there.There was a few showers but it didn't hinder us in any way. I can't pick out a particular part that was a favorite because the entire trip was delightful. Sam did wonderfully on both the flights. He could however, do better in the night time sleeping department(when away from home) we will have to work on that!

I have to say that I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but you will find a few entries of coarse!

Brandon's 11th Birthday Celebrations April 4,2008

Last night were invited over to help celebrate Brandon's upcoming birthday. Tasty pizza and fresh salad followed by a delicious homemade ice cream cake were served. Brandon had asked for an acoustic guitar, so Grandma & Grandpa with honors handed down Great Grandpa's guitar(all shined up and and with new strings) ready to go! Brandon was truely excited and looking forward to honing his new skill.

Happy Birthday Brandon!

10 Years ago on this day March 28

Ten years ago today I married the love of my life, by best friend and companion. We have been together eighteen years. There have been many memories made and I know that the years to come will add to the list.
Of these things I am grateful. I have been blessed to live in Delta, BC, Yellowknife,NWT, Bedford & Lwr.Sackville NS, Airdrie,AB and finally Langley, BC. Every move has brought adventure, laughter and new friends(and a few tears). We have had a few homes, two dogs, and one fantastic kid! Like all couples there are highs and lows but with every turn I know he will be there with a smile and comforting words. For all this and more that I cherish every moment we have together.

Happy Anniversary!

Just a few more....

If you made is this far a few more.

A visit with Friends! March 16-21,2008

Our last week has been filled with friends and fun. Our house was filled with love, laughter and a few tears! The Dawood family blessed us with a wonderful visit. During their last visit to our home baby Georgia had not arrived. Sam loved everymoment of the visit it was to cute to hear"s" and "Where is Nora?". We spent time just hanging around, going to the beach, to the recreation center for a swim at the pool and walking to various parks.In addition to the visit we had a chance to help celebrate Nora's 3rd Birthday. They were even kind enough to stay a few extra days so Georges could help Darren replace boards and build back some of our deck. Now that is a true friend!

Thanks again Dawood Family!

Miss You!

Mommy Googles March 12,2008

Here is some insight to the mind of a two year old at our home. On a side note Happy Birthday to our Bronwynne she is 5 today!

Going to work with Daddy March 2008

Sam & I had a chance to tag along with Darren for a work day. Darren's day started and ended in Comox so instead of flying over and sitting around for a day he suggested we pack up and drive over and spend a couple of days. So we packed up the car and hopped on a ferry and drove up to Comox. We all got settled in at the hotel and had a decent nights sleep. Then next day we sent Darren off to work with three lovely flight attendants. Sam & I headed out for a stroll around town, okay so I was stolling and Sam was sleeping. We found an assortment of wonderful shops and restaurants. Darren arrived back late that nigh and the next day we went our for a lovely brunch at the Union Street Grill and had a lovely drive back to the ferry.

You know your in a hotel room with a toddler when...

Celebrating Maya's arrival! February 29,2008

A beautiful baby shower was held in honor of Maya's arrival. Leiko & Orson's recent addition to their lovely family. Michelle was kind enough to open her home to all of us. A wide selection of tasty and delicious food was served from seven layer dip, homemade corn bread, a beautiful bean salad and much, much more. And of coarse an assortment of lovely pink clothes and goodies were received!

Thanks Ladies.

Trying different stuff.... Feb 2008

Just trying to enhance different skills! Bare with me! Or better yet how about some feedback!

Out for a walk February 21,2008

The sun finally came out for a few days and Darren was home we managed to get out for a somewhat dry walk to Campbell Valley, our usual haunt. I say somewhat dry due to the fact that Bronwynne always will find a mud puddle where ever we are. This trip was no different, but there is usually a tap on to give her a rinse off and alas it was not working so after a good walk and a couple of rolls in the mud puddles we loaded up a tired kid and a messy dog and headed home.

Happy Valentines Day February 14,2007

A few pictures to hold you over... Feb 2008

Still here! February 3,2008

I am still here. After a such a wonderful time out east, Sam came down with an ear infection which was discovered after numerous attempts to empty his little tummy and a trip to see the doctor. All is getting better we are still feeling slightly under the weather but heading in the right direction.
Karen & Sarah came for a visit today. So here are a few of the pictures. And I could not exclude my sad looking Bronwynne she is just waiting for a good walk! Maybe tomorrow!
