Many, Many Pictures

MISH MASH OF PICTURES - NO ORDER WHATSOEVER. SORRY - BLOGGERS NOT VERY USER FRIENDLY WITH PHOTO UPLOADING.



I went to the Nationals - horsejumping. So cool. I want a horse so bad.... ( i sound like i'm 12)



Backyard Sunday lunch at Ray and Dees with all the Matheson children and Joyce's kids and their kids. Such a great time. I was there early and had the priviledge of having a UNE (as deep talks are called by my Halifax friends - loosely translated from a "one on one" to the french version of "une on une" to a simple UNE) with Morris - we had such a deep talk for about 30 minutes - it was great!


Love love love this picture. The bride and groom (Dan and Caryn) with Dee and Dee's brother. They laughed so hard for so long - they were the loudest table in the room and it was a beautiful sound.


Surprise cake for Gerry's 60th - and his sisters made him (because his brothers are way too demure to do so) sit in Aunties walker. You can see him here literally asking "you want me to sit in Mom's walker?"

Yup - they do. So he did. Obedient little brother.


Marion, Mora, and Ruth. They all smile like this all the time. They are all this happy and real, its amazing to be around.



Owen chillin in Ray and Dees back yard (Joyce and Floyd's grandson)


1000 watt smiles.


The newlyweds making fun of the painting in their grandparents seniors complex. (pretending to be hiking)


Bella - sweet little girl of Matt and Sarah (Mora and Craigs daughter)


Morris and Ray goofing around

Dang you double chin!!! (is this an age thing?? i've just noticed it!)

This is Darkise - after 12 years we see each other again - and she hasn't changed a bit! Love it!


Remember Banff last year? This is Mo who was part of the trio who made the trip. Bree is completely unaware that I'm taking a picture and is, at this point, asking herself "What the heck is Mo doing? She was just in the middle of a sentence."


Me and the gracious host.


The BBQ at Bree's didn't work, so we Foreman Grilled the sausages and cooked the burgs on the stove.


HAHA! This pic makes me both cringe in horror and burst out laughing. I look like I've been superimposed into the photo. I have put some weight on, but honest, not to this extent!! Isn't Uncle Lloyd precious?!


So in love with this kid.


Iris and Auntie.


Big Bro and Auntie.


Me and Auntie. She's the cutest little thing ever.


Handley and Auntie - after showing her how his Transformer worked. Tooo flippin' cute.


Ash and her fiance - Dave. He's awesome!!


Me n' Conrad. Somehow there is always a series of pictures of us trying to get a picture together. This is the in fact, the 'real pose'. Sad. :-)


Crazy Brit and I at Ash's surprise Bday party



Me n' ' the other Ash". Love that I know her!
