Kimberley Weekend

Spring in Calgary

Out for a walk near our house today, and brought our camera to take a few shots...Here's a few results of experiments with the fancy camera and our Mac:

If April showers bring May flowers, what does snow in May bring?

May 29, 2010....Seriously?!?

Vegas!?!?

I spent the long weekend in Las Vegas with my good friend Kelly (from OT school), and a group of her girlfriends celebrating Kelly's Stagette or "Bachelorette" party.
Kelly had great luck at the Roulette Table!

Fun at the club ("X/S" at the Wynn Hotel and Casino)

Visit from the "Jackson 5"

Joel and Janet came for a visit with our 3 beautiful nephews. We had a wonderful time, with great weather, and lots of fun, including a trip to the Calgary Zoo, a visit with "Thomas the Tank Engine" at Heritage Park, and a day of exploring the mountains in Kananaskis and Canmore.

Thanks for the wonderful visit--we can't wait to have you back! (Our house is way too quiet now!!)

Malcolm LOVED playing in the snow (in his T-shirt--no snowsuit required!)


The boys loved playing in the snow, but weren't too sure about what to do when their hands (and feet!) got cold!

Mother's Day Run

Thanks to all who sponsored us for the Mother's Day Run this year! It was cold and rainy/snowy, but still a great day, and a great turnout of almost 14000 people! Happy Mother's Day to all...

Happy Mother's Day!

Just in case we don't say it often enough, we love and miss you, Mom(s)!!

Farewell in Richmond

We spent last weekend in Richmond, just outside of Ottawa, visiting family and bidding farewell to my Grandfather, Howard Martin, who passed away on April 17th at the amazing age of 99 years old! It was a nice time having everyone together at Grandpa's house, and sharing stories and memories of this remarkable man. He was greatly loved, and will be sadly missed....

John Howard Martin: September 4th,1910--April 17th, 2010

My Grandfather: Howard Martin, and my Grandmother: Violet Martin, on their wedding day: September 4th, 1939.

Greyson update

Just to make sure we don't leave out one of the most important parts of our days: Greyson. Here is one of his favourite things--attacking us while we're trying to sleep! :)

The "best" backcountry season?

Dave was only out for one "backcountry" ski day this year: not much snow!

Easter in Montana

We stayed in Montana for Easter weekend this year: at a rental property that Tannis and Steve found, that was a little bit ridiculous---super nice (see below)!! The "small" kitchen!!

My favourite part: in this beautiful multi-million dollar home, there was this sign, that I totally agree with!!!

Our room (one of the smaller rooms in the 4 BR 4.5 Bath house!)

Driving home through Glacier Park, we saw some wild horses on the highway...

Some really pretty views on the drive home
