Happy Birthday Sarah!!! (the young one)

Today little Sarah turned 5 years old. She is a cutie! I will always remember the call we got, just after landing at Halifax, from England, from Tanya, saying she was in labour, and after going through customs getting another call, announcing the birth of Sarah. Happy Birthday Sarah!!!

Happy Birthday Hailey !!

Hailey turns 3 today! I thought about calling Tanya at 3:00 AM to remind her of this, but thought better of it. We will go down to Halifax Sunday and see Hailey then. Happy Birthday Hailey!!!

Hi-Jacked Blog....



Happy 56th Birthday to Bruce who is celebrating this weekend while visiting with some old friends. 

How many differences can you spot in the above photo?

Happy Birthday Bradford and Silas!

 

 
I know I'm a little late with these, but I only just realized I could post pictures again. Silas really didn't have a birthday this year anyways, as he was born on February 29th. and Stacy waited over 2 weeks to have a party for Bradford, so I should be excused for being a month late with his birthday post. 
Stacy continues to make the coolest cakes.

Happy 5th birthday Bradford, and a Happy 1st birthday Silas!!!

New Blog Address / Happy St. Patricks's Day!

Ok folks, I put this off long enough. To find the new blog go here. Or not. Apparently Google has decided to let me start putting pictures up again. They must have increased my storage.
To honour of St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, Jesse picked me up a couple of cans of Guiness.

So let's blog on! I have some catching up to do. But first, the Guiness's!

Happy Birthday Carrie!

Carrie turned 18 yesterday. I guess I should have posted that then, but without pictures I guess I forgot. Chris and Joyce were here overnight too, on their way home from a family Christmas in Ottawa. Anyways, we love you Carrie, happy belated birthday. I am editing in pictures, March 17/13.

Happy Birthday Madilyn!

Would anybody like to guess how old Madilyn is today? She asked to have her toast cut into sevens! And chicken and steak for supper. We all hope you have a great day Madilyn! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Victoria!

Today the Lil Vickster turns 24. We saw her a couple of days ago in Halifax, and had a good visit. I even got a few pictures, but no new blog to put them on yet. Vicky had a busy morning, but I hope the rest of the day went well. Happy Birthday Vicky!!! Edited in picture, March 17/13.

Happy Birthday Sarah! (the old one)

 My darling wife turned 14 for the forth time today. I'm still not able to upload any pictures here. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm thinking Ill have to start a new blog with a link here to it. Anyways, Sarah had a great day, and is looking forward to having Carrie back  from college next week. Happy Birthday Nanny! I am editing in pictures, March 17/13.

Happy First Birthday Jack!

Today Jack turned 1. Yay! We went up yesterday for his party, and I got a picture, but I guess Google won't let me put any more on here. So, I hope you had a happy birthday Jack! I am editing in the pictures, March 17/13.

Remembrance Day 2012

I almost forget how to do a blog post. It's been that long... But this is a good day to Remember...
Today, after the Remembrance day service in Norton, we picked up Grandma, and headed into Fernhill and had a visit with Dad (Grandpa) and Dad (Mom`s (Grandma`s) dad).

Photo courtesy of Sarah, she did well! After the cemetery we headed uptown, and enjoyed a meal at Jungle Jim`s on Prince William. I`d like to add a favorite which I recently scanned for Grandma.

We take pictures for granted these days, but this was an ad for a camera! Starring my Dad!
Another cool thing I have to share is a link to a school project, initiated by Steve Wilson (teacher at BRHS), and done by Taylor Gray (a neighbour girl). A tribute to REGINALD LEONARD HORATIO GOODDAY.
While I`m at it, this is a must see video clip, appropriate for today. 

On another front, I have to report the passing of Willard, Llama extraordinaire. Sad day here on the farm tonight.

Not sure why he passed on, but I`ll miss him for sure...

Thanksgiving 2012

Although we haven't quite figured out why, it is always nice to have Carrie home to visit. Especially this Thanksgiving. It was also nice to have Stacy bring her family over, and Jesse and Grandma to join us as well.

Before our wonderful turkey dinner, Carrie and I took Bradford and Kara kayaking on the pond. After a bit, Stacy came up with Silas and Cecily, and Stacy tried kayaking too.

Cecily would have no part in kayaking, but she did enjoy being up there with Silas.

Bradford and Kara were interested in Stacy's secret spot. So she and Carrie took them over. It must have been awhile since Stacy has been there, as she didn't remember the waterfall being quite as big as it was.

Trip to Nova Scotia

Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Jesse and I went down to Nova Scotia. We toured quite a few barns, and also had a good visit with Victoria and Brad, and of course Hailey and Chloe. We ate some awesome chicken, and Jesse wore himself out playing with the kids.

While there, I got this next picture on my phone, of the twins. They had been out running.

2012 Hampton 5 Miler

Another year, another 5 miler...

This year it was really good to have both Tanya and TJ participate. And Emma did the 3 km run. I again walked with Elsie and Mom. This year I am proud to say I was 312 of 318. I think I'd like to see a few more walkers. But Hey!, I got a purple T shirt for 25 bucks!!!

As for family, Charles and Sheila were out too, Charles did well, coming in at 60, Tanya was 123, Marty did well at 198, Sheila was 223, TJ did really well at 274, and Elsie, Grandma, and I came in at 310, 311, and 312. Keep in mind that some of us don't train, and if I hear that Charles practiced beforehand, I'm gonna take away his "did well". I can edit stuff out here. I will edit in more pictures as they come available to me. And one of TJ, after a bit.

As promised...

 

Tanya and TJ brought their boat down with them, and yesterday we put in and cruised up the Belleislle Bay, into the Saint John river, and then up Kingston Creek. It was a great afternoon.

Later that evening, we decided to try kayaking up in our pond, and I'm so glad we did. It was a fun time with Tanya, Emma, Madilyn, and Sarah. Today we went back up, and Emma and Madilyn even went solo.

And a cool creepy picture of Madilyn with the Highlanders, and then Jack. Always cute.
