I was away this weekend (has so so so much fun in Montana with my sis and cousins!) and the first thing Carter told me when we spoke on the phone was "hurt da cow mommy". This boys been educated on the process of branding....

June 2, 2012
It's been a while. I don't know if anyone ever comes here any longer but I thought I'd share few things that have made me happy to be living in Lethbridge.
Walking to Church
Bike rides or walks to our neighborhood park
Our neighborhood (Little C is on my mother's childhood tricycle)
Though we're still busy inside with reno projects, all the warm weather has us excited to be working in the yard and beautifying it! A plus to our older home is all the plants and tree's that came with it.
Lilac bush - can't wait until this blooms!
Clematis
A happy spot for Carter
(don't worry that this picture was taken at noon
and yes Carter is wearing his PJ top, no pants,
and gumboots)
I'm pretty sure every impromptu family photo op will be taken
in front of this tree
(And do you like our RV parking pad? I'm pretty sure that 95% of
older homes in Lethbridge have these. Guess we need to buy an RV....)
Growth from our garden (our first one we've ever planted!)
Mike building this this morning around an old tree stump
(a little disappointed that our ally neighbors came over and asked
if it was going to stay - do they think we just built it for kicks?)
Honeysuckle bush
I'd love to paint the exterior of the house but seeing as we just did this last summer at our Calgary home it won't be happening anytime soon here. I'm thinking painting the siding white, the brick a slate colour, and the exterior doors navy would look pretty fabulous. Add it to the "to do" list I guess.... haha.
Another major bonus of being down here is the proximity to a lot of our family. I've loved being able to have my brother's come to dinner, Mike can meet his sisters for lunch at the hospital, and really the farm is a second home for Carter. On a bit of a sad note we said goodbye to a beloved family dog this week at Balderson's. Dogs live a great but usually somewhat shortened life on the farm. Duke had been in the family for just over 5 years and will be missed dearly. So glad I snapped these photo's the other weekend.
How sweet were these two together?!
