Auntie Lynnie and her Sav

Yes, Auntie Andrea, Lynnie spoils Sav just like you do: smarty pancakes, toe-polish and lip gloss! No brioche yet, though! xxx

We Heart Jalena

Mac is so lucky to have Jalena as his child minder. He is such a happy boy in the morning, shouting out "Lena Day!" as he heads out our door ("Jalena today" as oppose to when he shouts, "Mommy-Daddy today!" on weekends).  We have bought a new home and while we are very excited about the new neighbourhood (Cambie), we are gutted that Mac will need a new nursery:(

Fishing in Kyuquot-- Me Hunter. Me Feed Family. Nana Cook Yummy Jamie Oliver Salmon Dish.




Fishing in Kyuquot - Beautiful!


Niall, MegaDob, Graham and Ty.  Four bros, loving the outdoors, the booze and the fish.






Fishing in Kyuquot - Uncle Ty...you are CRAAAZY!

 You are a little bit insane, Uncle Ty, but you sure can plan a mean fishing trip! Thank you!



 Let us all hope it was one of the days when you waited until at least 9am...
Ty-hitos. Classic Ty-man

 Errr, Jessica HAD an ice cream cone but between leaving the flat, taking the lift down, and reaching this hedge...well, you know the end to this story (mmm).

MEC, Dad and Daughter

I've entered some of my favourite pics of Glen and Savvy in this Mountain Equipment Coop (amazing outdoor shop) contest.  One taken by none other than Auntie Sha Sha (B&W).

Ok, it's a bit cheesy, but all true and fun to put together.

I don't think we have a single vote, but that's not really what it's about. In fact, pretty fun to scan through the other amazing pics.

Happy Birthday Nonno!

We missed your birthday yesterday, but not because we weren't thinking of you.  We caught you a wee fish to say Happy Halibut, Dad, Nonno, John!!! It was 73 lbs exactly ;)

Sunshine Coast with Shark

 There's a big water, boat, dock theme from our wonderful trip with Shark to Shark and Ty's family's cabin on the sunshine coast.  Sage and Joseph joined too and we had an amazing four days of fun in the sun.
Never mind me, just out on the kayak, on my own, paddling away. No big deal.


Armed and dangerous.

The troops are all out there on the dock (including Joe, I think.  Sage was resting back at the cabin.)



 


With a bit of help from Tanis' husband and from Marcy, the Sunshine Coast babysitter, Shark, Tanis, and I got to go on two amazing rides. Joe was the bear bait and kept us safe. Single track yumminess.  

 Here we are on Canada day in Horseshoe bay with Dob's ferryboat coming in from his legendary fishing trip with Uncle Ty, Neal, and Graham.  More on that to follow.
Thank you Auntie Shark for an amazing trip!!!
