A year already...

We made it! It was our first anniversary on Monday and although we are in a major transition period right now it was still a great day.

We had sparklers in our spumoni at The Old Speghetti Factory, although I wasn't quick enough with the camera and so it looks like a stick.  And we walked all around our special Edmonton spots.

In honour of our anniversary, we decided to show you some of the "never seen before" behind the scence type picures from our wedding:

Tyrn's Birthday...Finally!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY, TY!!!! 
Unfortunately, I went to work the night that Ty turned old and so I haven't had a chance to tell our blog world yet. Please forgive my lateness Tyrn and I hope your celebration lasts the whole year through!

Ty cleaned up on presents this b-day.  I also found out that he is quite the sleuth where presents are involved and so I will have to be much sneakier next year.  
30 and still looking FINE!
After Tyrn's birthday we have had a whirlwind of adventures, here is the summary:

My family all met at the Ponoka Stampede for a day of family fun on the midway and betting on the chuckwagon races.  
Ty is trying to beat the odds and climb the carnie ladder to claim his prize.
Not quite as easy as it looks!
My bro Kevin and my mom "scrambling" it up.
My sis Carla, Mary and I working it as well.  I actually had just nailed Carla in the head with my right arm, it is crazier than you think!

Tyrn has taken a keen interest in car stuff since we have been home.  He is constantly working on his bike or the car, doing manly type stuff!
We were just at a b-day party for our friends Andrew, Katie, Sarah and Kari- the theme is rock star, see if you can list the following stars...
Rich & Tyrn as.....
Matt & Carissa as...
Jon & Sarah as....
Andrew as....
Naomi rocking out as...
Tyrn doing his best rockstar impression while playing guitar hero.

Mary and Craig came down to camp at Elk Island and we tried crashing the party.
Last, but not least, our very good friend Anna is leaving soon to teach in Singapore for 2 years.
We are super excited for her and can't wait to come and visit!!  Good luck, Anna.

Stitch Photos


Along the trip I took a few series of photos with the intention of stitching them together on some rainy day.  Today was that day.  



These were all taken in 3 to 8 segments each and then stitched together for that "panoramic" effect.  Thanks to Kelsey for having patience with me while I took these, as they weren't always exactly point-and-shoot.

Some of them are hard to see because of size constraints on the blog page, but you can click on any of them to see a larger version.
