Silas turned 2 last week, so we celebrated his birthday with some of Krista's family: Nana, Papa, Aunt Boo, Uncle Ben and Aunt Sarah and their kids. First up was an outing to enjoy some of the winter festivities in Carstairs, AB. We started off with a wagon ride. Here's Uncle Ben with his boys and B...

A little while back, SIMAIR got the approval to change the registration numbers on the new diesel plane. As you can see in the picture, the new numbers are N182MR. These numbers are a tribute to my (Kevin's) mom. The "N" is what all USA registered planes begin with. The numbers "182" where chosen be...

Silas enjoying a treat! Silas and I on board the Battleship North Carolina. Elayna in one of the rare moments a camera captures her real smile instead of her cheesy grin. While in North Carolina we were able to go to Hanging Rock State Park for an afternoon. It's been the family camping spot for yea...

Moving back to August pictures... I share a birthday with my grandmother, and we for the first time in a few years we were able to have our traditional birthday lunch together.

After over 24 hours of traveling, we arrived safely back in the US. We have been enjoying the last couple of days eating ice cream and lots of cheese, and visiting with Kevin's dad and grandma, as well as Ian and Beka and family. The cousins are having a blast together! Last night we enjoyed a "circ...

I remember as a kid my mom rolling her eyes at the U-haul slogan pasted on the side of their trucks. If I remember correctly it said "Adventures in Moving." Like it's a fun thing. Guess they haven't moved as much as we have. While we aren't using a U-haul, we are having many moving adventures. Perha...
