Kenny & Nolie & Tatum

Kenz and Nolan were here for a couple of days so that Nolan could go see his surgeon here in Edmonton. It's nice to have them here to just hang out, visit, laugh, play with Nolie and laugh some more. It will be soooo much nicer for them when my studio is done (which is coming fast people!!!) because we can set up a makeshift guest area when they come instead of Nolan bunkin with Tatum! He's not so fond of her room now, starts to cry as soon as we take him in there. :(

Kenzie & Tatum had a fun little funny faces photoshoot! Tatum is sportin a sweet petti skirt, 2 hats, and a scarf. I wanted Kenz to wear the petti on her head but that idea did not materialize - weird, clearly not trusting my creative intuition.

I took Kenz and Nolan to the airport this morning around 5 am and it was crazy once we got south of Edmonton. I counted 14 cars in the ditch between the information center and the airport, for those of you who live here, you know that's not much distance. Luckily we were not one of them and we got them to their flight with plenty of time and I returned home safely with Sammy boy. For some reason he woke up and insisted on goin to the airport with me. The rest of our day was pretty relaxing, we hit up the grocery store and then I took Tatum & Sam for dinner and a movie. Charlie took Mase skiing in Jasper so I had to have something fun for those left behind! We saw Hotel For Dogs and the kids really liked it, good kid movie. With about 5 mins left Sam says "I'm tired let's go home". So, the second it ended we were outta there! When you're 3 and you're tired - it's just time to get if the movie is done or not.

And now obviously here I am on the computer - found some SWEET finds on ETSY tonight!!! Can't wait till they arrive - of course for photos, what else?! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks you'll see them show up on the Photography Blog.

Have a fabulous night or morning - whenever you read this!

Sammy In The Snow :)

After we dropped Tatum off at her friends house the other day I asked Sam if I could take his picture in the snow, he appeased me. I've been dying to get some fun winter pics but it has been just too darn cold. It was still too cold because these are all I got, and our lil photo shoot lasted maybe 5 mins. Once you get those fingers snowy it's all down hill! Oh well, we have plans to go sledding this Saturday and it's supposed to be warmer (cross your fingers).
Mmmmm, delicious snow!

Oh yeah, I see them Sam and yes, they do look cold - I guess we can go inside.....

I get this lil smile regularly in the day, Sam is my little buddy to say the least.

Treats By Tatum!

Oh thank you Easy Bake Oven, we love the delicious treats you bake us!!!

Since Christmas we have been treated with the yummiest little desserts from our new baker extraordinaire Tatum.

Here is the pro with the CUTEST lil apron from Aunt Jessie, we CAN NOT bake without it.

We're runnin this PW style - for those of you who know her you'll get it, if not you think I really like photography - which I do! Ha!

Step one is of course to open the envelope and dump contents into cereal bowl.

Next we carefully add the water, 2 teaspoons for this particular recipe! Everytime, I just want to dump it in for her but NO, she is the baker and I am her mere assistant.

Mixing, mixing, mixing, until it's just right and then scoop into tiny cake pan!

Tasting is essential....

Patience is required.....

Uh, not sure.... some waiting dance moves or something.

Add the sprinkles, also a job ONLY for the baker.

And perfection, delish, can't wait to sink my teeth into a slice!

And there is my slice, she's quite generous with her portions. So that's what's been happenin in our kitchen at least once a day - anybody wanna come over for some tasty treats by Tatum?

Bounce Around A Bit.......

So for some reason I was lookin through our trip pictures from last year and decided to share a few from Quebec City last June. It was really cool to see another part of Canada and learn a bit about their culture. They celebrated 400 years in 2008, they had banners and signs all over the city.

Here we are on the boardwalk in front of the Fairmont Hotel.
These guys were awesome and I wish we would have bought their CD, my kids would have loved their music.

Parliament building, very cool, alot of statues on and around it.


For example this fellow!

This is the view out of our hotel window!! Very neat old church.

This is one of Charlie's friends - ha! Really we just wanted to know where we could get a sweet jacket that color for Char. ;)

Cool architecture, loved it, all of it. I wish I could bring some of that back here.

Cool little shops that open up to the street.

This is amazing - it is a ginormous mural on the side of a building!!! The detail is crazy incredible.

Busy little shopping district, so fun.

So, there is a little peek at our trip to Quebec City. Hope you enjoyed it and if not well, I did and I know my mom will. ;)

Good night, THE END.

Tatum's Concert

This is Tatum's little kindergarten class, they are watching the other class take their turn doing a dance.
Tatum with her dance partner, it was pretty funny - she was leading him around!

Ho, ho, ho....

This is actually when they entered (I uploaded them backwards apparently). They look like they're pretty pumped with their grand entrance! Funny girls. Sam actually stayed awake for this performance, they had cookies and beverages on the tables, which contributed to him stayin alert! It was pretty fun to have Aunt Kenny and Nolan with us too. She videotaped it so that Charlie could watch since he was in San Diego at a conference at the time.
