Photos: Thanksgiving 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!! Even though it was yesterday…we’re a little late. This was the first time we (or I, rather) attempted to take some family photos. Thanksgiving 2013 Setting up – Lily is supervising. The tripod was a gift from a very kind old man who we purchased some tools off of – I highly recommend a tripod if you’re evening thinking of using your camera’s self timer. First shots – not too bad. Happy everything is in focus! Second shot (well, each shot took 10…

Thursday Afternoon Cows
Thursday Afternoon Cows A few weeks ago I was driving into town when I noticed a little calf on the wrong side of the fence. He was scared. Mooing so loudly! His parents (or aunts and uncles) were mooing loudly, too – but in this, I’m going to charge at you, kind of way. In the end, we got the little guy back on the right side of the fence. These photos are of a much calmer group of cows – cows that aren’t mooing…

Two Dogs and a Wedding Dress
Two Dogs and a Wedding Dress Today is our two year anniversary and I want to do something special for my husband. About 3 weeks ago, our weimaraner, Bella, got sick, however, she’s okay now, or will be. When we though she might not make it, all I could think about was what if I forget her – all of her quirks, her expressions, her eyes. So, I took this opportunity to take some photos! She looks pretty happy, and Lily, well, she just looks…

Photos: Auction
Time to BID! With hands flying high, hot dogs being sold and money dropping out of our pockets, it’s auction time! Auction This little auction is just a few miles away from our house and it’s a true farm auction. We’ve been to a few over the last year or so but this is our first time bidding and winning! One of the first auctions we went to was an ‘odds and ends’ sale which ended up being a bunch of farm animals – 10…

Lazy Day!
Lazy Day Lazy Lily sitting in the sun being lazy. This look, it’s a way of asking me what I’m looking at! Nap time. Getting comfortable. Such a cute napper. Basically, at our house it’s difficult to get a lazy day with two active pups. Today, however, we took full advantage of the laziness. Time for naps, treats and a few photos. Bella is such a stinker that she’ll wake us up around 6:30am wondering why we’re not right there to feed her. Really? You…

Snow Day
It’s a snow day! Lots of fluffy white stuff…the dogs love it! I’m mean and didn’t shovel the deck one bit – nope, time to play first and work after, right? Snow Day We live in Northern Alberta and the snow we get here isn’t as fluffy and dense as it is, say, in Ontario. Both Bryce and I grew up with heavy wet snow that was so heavy to lift, yet made great snowmen. I’ve heard that if you take 1 cup of Alberta…

Santa Monica Pier
Santa Monica Pier On our recent trip to Los Angeles many mentioned visiting Santa Monica Pier. I was excited for a couple of silly reasons – seeing the famous ferris wheel that opens up Private Practice made me giddy! Silly, I know. More than that, though, it’s a good place to people watch, surf, do the tourist thing (including getting pick pocketed – we saw 2 men speaking to police…so be careful). Interesting to note, the Pier was originally built to cover up a sewage…
