Karate

Since September Brodie ad Danika have been in Karate. They both enjoy it very much. These pictures show them at a seminar where a Sensi(a person in high black belt) came out to help them. It is hard to get pictures of them in "action" as they go so fast, but here are a few to give you the idea.

Surprise 40th for Peter!

In February we went down to Balgonie to help surprise and celebrate Peter Hawkins 40th birthday. He had no idea... we got him good!! I downloaded backwards(again) but the bottom picture is the 40 yellow shirts on the lawn. Peter and his awesome cake...Nikki Waltz's creation, she did an awesome job. Peter and most of the kids that were there(eyeing up his cake). The men all were given black elastic to wear as suspenders( a Peter trademark) and Danika reading a book to Kyle and Cara Hill.

Happy 35th Nevin!

Climbing Snow Hills!

Well I am finally caught up! These pictures were just taken today! The kids had so much fun climbing up and down and up and down! If only I had half their energy!

Our Time in Edmonton with Special Friends...

On our way home from northern Alberta we spent some time in Edmonton with Darrick and Charlene and family. We went to a very cool place in Sherwood Park called The Millienum Center. We skated and swam and the kids played at the play center. Only got skating pictures as my batteries died in my camera.

Gingerbread House at Nana's!

During the holidays the kids, Nana and myself made a gingerbread house. Kourtnee, Brodie , Danika, and Emilee, proudly display the finished product.

Celebrating 10 Years...a little late

When we were at Dad and Mom's over the holidays, we managed to get away for two nights, while the kids stayed with Dad and Mom. Here is a few shots of the very nice room we stayed in... as well as the gifts from a very thoughtful couple. The basket with the glasses was full but we ate all the stuff before I remembered to take a picture! Thanks Phil and Rhonda for making our anniversary even more special!
