Happy Anniversary to my husband!

Two years ago, we got married on top of tunnel mountain in Banff, AB.  Two wonderful years!  And hoping I get to celebrate many, many more with you just as we celebrated this weekend.


My thoughtful, generous husband decided to treat us both to a trip to the mountains for our second anniversary.  I, silly person, forgot my CAMERA!!  However, I had the camera on my phone - poor substitute but I was able to capture a couple of pictures!


First off, we arrived in Banff and took a hike around Lake Minnewanka, then we checked into the beautiful Rimrock Hotel.  That night we had dinner at the fabulous Maple Leaf Grille.  After dinner we didn't feel quite ready to head back to the hotel so we strolled up the road to have a beverage at the Magpie & Stump.

Where we saw this cute VW with a hamburger on top.  So many people stopped to take their picture by it that of course we did too.  

Then we went back to the hotel and sat in front of the fireplace and chatted for a while.







It was a great evening.  


The next day we decided to challenge ourselves by hiking up Sulphur Mountain - which at the Gondola is 7,486 ft above sea level.  The hike took us 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete!  Then we took the easy way down and rode the gondola.  

We had a fantastic Anniversary weekend!  Thanks Myron!!  Love you honey!!

A little page

Just a little page that I managed to do in the last little while.  It was the first time the kids met the Hildebrand family, Christmas 2005.

We enjoyed many fun activities that Christmas, tobogganing, hiking, curling, skating, skiing, hay ride and most of all digging in the snow hills and making tunnels.  I believe it was one of our most enjoyable holidays.  =) Lisa

Happy Father's Day

To all the Dad's out there....


To my love, my husband, Myron as being a step-father is probably tougher than being a biological parent and to all the other step-fathers I know.

To my brother Karl who finally gets a chance to be a father to a new son Ayden and reconnect with an older son, Pat. Plus he's a stepfather too.

Birthday Flowers

Okay, I'm at work when my boss asks me if I think I can copy an arrangement as Judy (designer) needed two of the same arrangements for an event at a church.  I said that I thought I could so she told me which arrangement to copy and I thought my job wasn't too bad.

Near the end of my shift, my husband texted me & asked me to txt him when I was leaving work as it was Friday night and it was our birthday this weekend and we had plans to see a movie with the kids.  I stopped on the way home to pick up my son.  When I got home and walked in the kitchen, low & behold was the arrangement I made!!  I said ....... 'What? How?' to which my husband yelled, 'Surprise!! Happy Birthday!'

So the story goes, he called my boss Frieda the day before when I wasn't at work to set up my surprise.  Apparently everyone at the shop were all conspirators in this event except for me.  The request from my husband for me to txt when leaving work was not an unusual one so I didn't think anything of it.  Apparently he was actually waiting in the parking lot for me to leave so he could buy my 'design' and bring it home as a surprise.

Here's a picture of my Birthday Flowers ....

Had a great Birthday weekend!!  =) Lisa

Awwww bliss!

Bliss because I have finally found some time to catch up on my blogging and picture downloading, etc.  I haven't had much time to scrap since I started my new job, plus I've been getting used to my new computer and I also need more photo paper.  This card I made quickly for my Aunt's birthday (May 21).  Hopefully now that I've started to get used to my working schedule I will be able to find time to scrap again.  =)
