Bear in our Yard


We had some nice weather in the spring but then a sudden snow blew in (probably from Calgary way!). It also brought with it a bear just awake from its hibernation. It came into our yard and scratched its back on our ash tree!

Josie's School Spring Concert











We were so proud of Josie at this event. She recited 3 fun poems of her own chosing, narrated her class's play and sang beautifully with her school choir!

Josie's Riding Lessons







Josie continued with her horse riding lessons this spring. She moved up from a cute pony to this huge handsome horse named Cash. She was thrilled! And . . . she 's a natural-born cowgirl! She did so well learning to ride on this big horse.

Emmalise's Christening




Josie and Marsh Marigiolds




This is a pretty spot in the Park and one of the first to get spring flowers blooming. Had to take a few pics.


Josie's 1st Tree Fort











Jessica's "Disco Knights" slideshow



We had such a good time watching Jessica's school musical. Gotta love that 70s music and such fabulous outfits! Jessica is a lovely and talented actress!

Mother's Day 2010



We were in Winnipeg area for Emmalise's 1st Birthday and so we had Mother's Day in the hotel. When we got home, Josie gave me a handmade garden stone for Mother's Day.









Emmalise's First Birthday


















Kim and Eddie put on a big outdoor, Winnie the Pooh party for Emmalise. She had fun I think but was out like a light by 3:oo and missed all the gift-opening fun!

Tim's 45th Birthday







We had to go to Tim's niece's wedding social on Tim's birthday weekend so we were staying over in Brandon. Before we left Josie gave him some playful gifts that he could share with her - water guns, kite and beach floaty.

Josie's Glasses




Josie had to get glasses in the Spring (for seeing in the distance) - only a matter of time, I guess, since both Tim and I have had glasses since we were kids.

Royal Manitoba Winter Fair 2010

The Winter Fair is a favourite of Josie's - horses, puppies, bunnies, goats, piglets, lambs - pure joy!




















We went to the Winter Fair with our friends, the Frey's and Grandma Vicky was there, too!
