Robbie's new Toy:




Well today Robbie finally picked up his new toy a
'08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4
He's very happy!!

Mayerthorpe:

Our last road trip we went west. The road took us to Westlock Ab.

We thought that we'd go see where they make Leaman trikes.

Once we got there we found out they are now being

made in the USA.

Since we were that far west we thought that we'd check out

Mayerthorpe Ab.

This is near where the 4 Mountie were killed. They have recently

put up an memorial for them there.

It was a very sombering to be standing there knowing that

these men and many others have lost their lives

protecting ours.

What a great country that we live in.

To know the freedoms that we have

in life and that we are being protected by these

hounourable men and women.

(the police services and the military members)

The New Photographer:















Well Ladies and Gentlemen....I just thought that I'd post a few photos that I am learning to take with the new camera the Robbie bought me....there are a ton of things to learn with this camera..I got a Nikon D-60 a few weeks back....I think have take about 600 photos already...just having a hoot taking photos...I hope that one day I'll be able to take as good of photos as my dad.

NIKON D60


This is a photo from my new camera that Robbie bought for me this weekend in Moose Jaw. It is a Nikon D60. It is a smaller version of what my Dad has for his camera. But as you can see I can now take photos like he does with his camera. This flower is one of many that are in my Mom's flower gardern. One day my photos will be a great as his I hope

Rock Band

Well he finally got it and he's very happy now!

Thump Thump ThumpThump

so I guess that all that counts eh!

Road trip to the Mnts:

It was very beautiful scenery

This is the most recent photo of our little family!

Visiting With Robbie's Mom

Baby Kail's Blankie:

This photo above is the start of Kail's blankie from auntie.

It doesn't look like much and I wondered if it would turn out.

After spend a couple hours sewing it together and then

A couple of hours clipping it. My hands were very tired and sore.

Still not sure if it would turn out.

The above photo is the end result of the 2 hours of clipping shaking out

and washing. Turned out the way it was supposed too.

I liked making this one. It was easy!!

Ready to make another one soon.

This the close up of what it looks like...I use "Peter Rabbit" flannel

FUN FUN!!

The Drink of Choice:

This morning when I came home from work. Robbie asked if

I would go get an "Energy Drink" for him.

Sure!!

Knowing that he was going for his PT test this morning.

I wondered why he was wanting a drink like this

but thought that maybe he REALLY wanted to pass!

This is the drink that I bought him. Once I returned home with it.

The look on his face was of shock. Then he asked me

"What are you trying to do Kill me? That drink will make my heart race too fast.. I'm old"

And he was very serious about it.

Well I kinda wondered why he wanted this drink.

He then tells me that he wanted a gatorade or power aid drink

like the one below.

We then went back to the store to get a drink but they didn't have anymore

so he ended up with stawberry flavored water.

So once I left him at the gym.. I went to 7-11 to get him

the "energy drink" that he wanted in the 1st place.

Well in my defense I just got home from a very long NIGHT at work.

Things that one needs when they get Older:

ohhhh alright when one gets injured these are a few things that you need for living

this fancy dancy $80 full lumber support back rest so

one can sit right in the house or car

this wonderful contraption on my butt is called an SI support belt.

it makes sure that my hips stay in place so that I dont

injure my lower back anymore than it is right now. it makes my

flat butt even flater (nice eh)

this nice peice of kit helps me pick up things that are on the floor

that i cannot reach so well

just thought i'd show another photo of my wonderful BUTT BELT

yeah isnt life exciting ***NOT***
