Putting the “Mom” in Mambo
As I said to Nathan after trekking through the entire Living Desert Zoo, its more like Desert of the Living Dead because man was it scorching hot! I have never experienced such blistering temperatures, luckily we toted water everywhere we went and plied ourselves with sun-block! (yes we’re the wimpy Canadian tourists). By the end […]
OK so I slacked off yesterday and didn’t continue with the run down, that’s only because I feel soooo run down!
Easing into vacation life was pretty easy for us, we stayed at the gorgeous Club Intrawest Resort in Palm Desert and had a two bedroom lock-out type of room. It was nice for us […]
We have arrived back to our home from our 10 day vacation extravaganza in Palm Desert California, and a three day blissful time in Anaheim at Disneyland. This has been our first major family vacation ever, and by that I mean that typically for holidays we pack up the family and drive to visit […]
Yesterday was an exceptionally fun day for all of us. My Mom, Sister and her two boys headed down for a visit to enjoy our new pool and have a blast. It was certainly that! We had the best time yesterday playing in the water with all of the kids. Nathan had prepared the […]
Guilty, guilty, guilty of not blogging stuff that should have been blog-worthy! So here’s a brief recap in a few seconds:
1. Joshua James turned 7!!!! We headed up to Calgary and hit the Calgary Zoo for his birthday. Nicole/Bjorn and family came along for the day. It was blistering hot, the animals were awesome (so […]
Over the weekend we had the sheer delight to have Nathan’s parents, sisters and their adorable kiddos here for a visit. Being with them again made me realize just how homesick for our Calgary family members I had become. It was a wonderful weekend with trampoline bounding, head bumping, ladder climbing (and subsequent falling), water […]
Well after all the planning, shopping, wrapping, traveling etc. it’s all done. Christmas this year came in a blur of activity and haste, but I have to tell you that I think it was one of my most favorite holiday years since our married life began. How could this be? So many lovely Christmas events […]
Today I find myself missing my roots and thinking of my Grandparents. All of my Grandparents have now passed away and it’s funny what things instantly trigger a memory of them for me. Like this morning for instance while I picked up a large kitchen knife in order to cut something. I suddenly remembered how […]
Last night a thunder storm rolled into town. I couldn’t believe the force of the Thunder, the amazing lightening display and the abundance of hard rain pouring down. It was both beautiful and frightening at times, as the thunder cracked and shook the house in it’s tremendous power. I thought of my Grandmother as I […]
After a fun filled jont to Calgary to visit with family over Nathan’s Reading Week (he didn’t crack a book! hee hee) we are home. I’m glad to be back home, I love sleeping in my very own bed and was anxious to get on the road on Friday and just get back to us. […]
