Zoo morning

This morning Ryan, Jacob and their new friend Nadia took their mommy's & Mia to the zoo. We had lots of fun and even saw a few animals!

I think Jacob has a new girlfriend. (Check out Ryan's arm coming in for some of the action)

Can you say "big teeth"?

Baaaaaa


Ryan and Nadia bravely say hello to the goat.

A special visitor

One of the main reasons for our visit to Edmonton was to visit Grandma Dale. As always she spoils the boys rotten! As mommy tries to sneak a picture or two Grandma Dale and Aunt Tanya try to steal a kiss.

The long weekend

The little boys and mommy went to Edmonton for the long weekend. Thanks to all the kids that visit Auntie Ellie and Mia there was lots of toys to play with in the sunshine. Here's a few shots of our afternoon.

A Sad Farewell

It is with great sadness that I must say good bye to my dad this week. After a 2 1/2 year struggle against cancer dad finally lost the battle. He faught with everything he had clearly showing that he wasn't ready to say good bye. Neither were we dad. Even on his death bed he was the kind of man that makes you proud to call him your father.

We'll miss you more that words can express dad.

The latest pics

The picture taking has been a little slow lately, perhaps it had something to do with the camera lens being broke for 3 weeks. Thankfully it's fixed now. Here's a few shots from today.


My Ryan, what nice teeth you have!
