Mer Mer in Canada!

MOM'S FIRST POST!!!! Yay! Go Mom!!!

Double Your Pleasure, Doubled My Fun!
Kate and Kara are now 8 1/2 months

Rub a dub, three kids in a tub! Kara, Kate and Zachary

Kate and Kara loved their first taste of Mama Maria's Spaghetti-pureed!

Look out for a super Zach-attack!Baking chocolate chip cookies for Elder Crippen who is serving in Calgary-just 2 hours away! He had dinner on Sunday with Aimee's Justin's uncle John who is the Calgary mission medical consultant and Justin talked to uncle John while our elder was right there in the room!

I just like this picture because I look skinny-obviously taken before the dough was ready!

Cute quilts made by Angie, Carrie, Sherelda, Katie and me, Cute babies made by Aimee and Justin, latest addition of cute valance made by Aimee and me. Aimee came up with just the right size of flowers after 4 hours and 3 attempts and finally. PERFECTO! We're not proud, just very pleased!

For those who don't know Zach, this probably looks like child abuse. But for those who do...
this horsey leash PUT HIS ENERGY TO GOOD USE! We got to the park in record time!

Here is Aimelia where she spends a great deal of the day caring for her threesome. They are so cute...and so is she!
Chef Justin cooked up some terrific European wieners. That's really what they are called and they are 75 cents a piece and delicious. For a gourmet hot dog appreciater like me...I give it a 10!

What does "natural casing" really mean? All I know is that the dog snaps back when you bite it!


A picnic of home grown peas was enjoyed by all.


Ahhh!!! Oh so cute!

Aimee and her family...even cuter!

LOOK! This one is on the run from me as I was chasing him trying to get a picture of him in flight.


A reflection of the beauty of Edmonton...without snow. This becomes a skating rink in the winter.

A few Canadian geese who didn't get the message to head south for the winter.

Dr. Low in his work clothes. Handsome man he is! If you think this side looks good, you're really missing out on the best!

Ducks at Hawrelak and a muskrat!

I'm so happy to be in Canada!

The sunset of Edmonton.

More of the flaming sunset.

UBGBs at Surf and Sand Camp!

The first full day of the reunion (7/28/09) was an invasion of Oceanside. We established headquarters on the beach near Oceanside Harbor.

Michael was then asked to check and see if there were any sharks in the water.

Obviously concerned, he decided to call a meeting to see which one of the adults to send it first.

They couldn't send the moms because they were the food supply, they couldn't send the dads because they made the moms happy, they couldn't send the older cousins because the were too much fun, and they couldn't send the younger cousins because they were too cute, so they decided to just eat sand and not worry about it!

Dallin said, "Forget you guys...I'll go check for sharks. I'll just Hang 10 and if they nibble on my toes, then we'll all just stay in and eat sand!"

Well, nothing got nibbled and all the kids and the adults went in. They boogie boarded, danced, built sand castles, forts, and dug pools with their parents. They ate hot dogs, flew kites, rode kayaks, and threw footballs. Cameron even did a caffeine free Mountain Dew/Pepsi Taste Test!

They outnumbered everyone else in the water and Brenna reported they had the greatest time every!!!!!

G-KIDS!!! DIDN'T SEE YOURSELF THIS TIME...JUST WAIT...YOU'RE COMING UP SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
