Thanksgiving - we are so very thankful to our Heavenly Father for all His Wonderful Blessings!

Niomi and Morgan took lots of pictures - here Niomi is caught reading a comic!!
Janelle - why do you look so worried? Is it too busy or are you just awake?

Hope just wanted to pull funny faces - every time she saw the camera she pulled a face - she is such a card.


The children played for hours up in the playroom - dressing up and playing with all the toys from the garage sales. So cool to have new stuff to play with.



My love - husband, dad and opa!

God's Awesome Wonder and Faithfulness



Here are two Alberta sun-sets. Aren't they awesome? Although pictures never really portray the true picture (at least not my camera). The sights are breathtaking and are a reminder to us every day that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The sun always comes up and sets every day yesterday, today and tomorrow. God's faithfulness is GREAT!

The Addition - Part 2

Jason and David doing the last piling. And that is how far we are until next time, when they have to set up and pour the grade-beam. Then we will be able to see more really how big the addition will be. Exciting!!
The pilings are 10 feet deep, each piling takes alot of cement. This is for frost heavel.

Helping the cement into the hole.


Tristen had to check it out too - of course, without a coat. It was actually quite fresh out and windy, of course. We have been having alot of strong winds lately. I always have lots of branches on the lawn.



This is actually the first picture - you'd think after blogging all this time, I would know, but it must be the age. Anyway, Wally and Jason arrived at 8 o"clock Saterday morning to drill the pilings - and at 11 o'clock the cement truck arrived to fill the holes with cement. David is directing the truck to where it has to go and Pap is supervising the whole episode.

More Party Pictures

Morgan and Niomi took my camera and took all kinds of pictures. Even of the beautiful huge sunflowers at Aunt Karens. The heads are massive!! Such beautiful creation!
Niomi with her Auntie Betty!

Betty's huge smile!!


Jayda all stary eyed because it is Dad's birthday - she loves her dad so!



Hope and Janelle are going to try the stairs, not a very good idea kiddies, you won't make it around the corner!




On Uncle Gerry's birthday supper!

The kiddies patiently waiting for their supper.

Tristen already enjoying his - doesn't he look gorgeous in his shirt and tie?
Still patiently waiting - sorry, didn't realize this was the second time.

Our Summy

Isn't she a beauty - she was here on Sunday for lunch and wanted to check out the tickle trunk and lo and behold, she found a beautiful white dress with a headpiece! It was priceless!!! Niomi came along too and dressed up as well, but that picture didn't turn out, soooo tooo bad, she looked so cute too. That tickle trunk has been so wonderful for the kids!
She is so picturesque, don't you agree?

The Finished Job in Whitecourt

I know you don't want to see all the houses that pap did, but I am so stinkn' proud of his work that I want to show it off. This took them a long time to do, the customer was happy and so were we!!!
