Early Morning Breakfast

This morning we decided to par take in the Strathcona Fire Hall's free community pancake breakfast. Mr. Photography had a great time there. It was fun and there was good food too.

UMMMM.....The pancakes and sausage were so good!

Here we are beside Sparky's the fire dog's truck. The dalmation- remember him? He hasn't aged a bit!!!

August Trip

Here is our niece from PG, she is with her 1st place winning scarecrow- Hannah Montana. She is 5 years old. It was a very cute scarecrow.

This is Mr. Photography's entry into the fair, a chuck wagon and bobble head horse. He called it Man Tracker. He won 1st in his category too.

Here is our nephew and Mr. Photography at the fair/bumper cars. They had a blast. Until his auntie took him on tilt a whirl and he got sick. He claims he never wants to go on another ride again!

Mr. Photography and his grandparents fishing one early morning. He caught nothing and froze his little buns off. The temp was 5C. I guess the fish thought it was too cold to come to the surface and bite the worms too.

Nana made this fishing hat. Mr. Photography claims it is bad luck. He never caught anything with it on. I think he was just embarrassed to wear it! Mr. Photography went fishing
on 3 different days. He didn't have any luck - any of those days. Poor kid. All in all he had a good vacation and is happy to be home.

My Boy Beckham

Finally he likes a little style. He got a haircut today and a style too! He loves it. Too bad the product she used cost $21.00 to keep his hair spiked. And no - I didn't buy it. I am on a mission to find a cheaper product that will spike his hair. But I must admit he does look good.

Ahh Crumb!

Go figure!!! We are supposed to leave on VIA RAIL to go to PG on July 26th, to visit Nana & Papa and it goes on strike. I guess it isn't our time to take the train. We will still look forward to a trip on Via. Hopefully it will be this summer???

We Made It.

Last night we had a terrible storm that lasted for about 2 hours. It was the most scariest storm I've ever lived through. The skies darkened and and the clouds formed big "funnel like" shapes in some spots. The color of the sky went from grey -black- pink. But the wind! Mr. Photography had to hold onto me literally, so he wouldn't blow away! The winds were clocked at 110Km/hr. It is noted that we had a "plow wind" come through. Of course-- our area where we live, got hit the hardest. I am thankful that we are fine, but I never want to live through that again or a tornado! Here are some photos of the morning after.


Nothing stops those golfers!!!! The whole course had debris on it, just like this!

A tree almost down.

Thank goodness the tree didn't fall on this house. It fell on the road. There are many trees down today, the roads are very messy but no one got killed. It is amazing what mother nature can do!!!

The Street Performers

This weekend we ventured out to the Edmonton Street Performers Festival. It was a lot of fun. Different people show talents they have. I have blogged about some of the fun performers we saw. However the "Queen" who you could have your photo with was a little under the weather. Mr. Photography and I were looking forward to meeting her and getting our photo with her. Oh well, there is always next year.


Here is Elvis, shaking Mr. Photography's hand. Elvis got a small donation from us for dancing so well.

This is Pretzel. He makes ballon hats.

Pretzel's final product! A deer ballon hat for the little guy. It was really cute.

Here is the birthday girl and her family. 37 years golden. Thank you for all your birthday wishes.

Our Quick Little Holiday

Hey stop taking the same photos as me! Every time I turned around, he was taking the same photos as me. It got to the point he would jump out of the car faster than me and take the photo first! Young energy at its best.

We started the trip at the beautiful city of Lethbridge. What a great city, it is a place anyone could call home!

The city's famous bridge. Brent's grandpa used to drive the train over this bridge, when he worked for CP Rail.

Onto Great Falls, Montana. Here is the dam. It was neat to see.

Ok, I have never even heard of this place before grade 3. Mr. Photography learned about this place this year and he was so excited to go here. It is definetly an interesting piece of history.

Our last stop was at Drumheller, the Tyrell Museum. As fun as it was to go here, I did kind of feel like I was in the movie- Night at the Museum!
