Last week we had a couples retreat in Canmore with our pals Dan and Tara. It was very relaxing and a lot of fun! The mountains were breath taking as usual!
Here's Jazz, Beanie & I. Beanie here is 29 weeks old.

Okay, We Admit, We're Horrible Bloggers!
So it's almost been a year without a post. I doubt anyone even checks anymore, but I've gotten sick of seeing this really old post for so long every time I go on the internet (it's our homepage). Well, not entirely sick because at least the last post was our fabulous family and friends wedding, but sick enough to want to update...
Let's see....since last October...we looked to buy a house and ended up taking over my dad's place since he has moved to Kelowna. We fixed it up nice (although there's still lots to be done), and now it feels like our own home. My favorite part is the sunny back deck. I've been spending every morning relaxing there.
Jazz cutting the grass for the first time on a riding mower...it's now broken and our grass is long!
What else? Jazz signed up to do the Ride to Conquer Cancer and completed it at the end of June. I'm so proud of him! (By the way, he still needs to raise $288 to fulfill his fundraising obligation to ride, so if anyone has some extra money they want to donate to a great cause follow this link!
I'm sure there's lots of other big news...but I think this post is finished for today. I'll try and make a post sooner than 8 months next time!
Thanks for actually tuning in!

The Last of Summer Vacation
Since I go full fledge back to work tomorrow, ie. students are back, I thought I'd show the last of our summer. I forget that this blogger uploads pictures backwards so we will wind back.
Last weekend, Jazz and I drove to Edmonton for the CariWest Festival. It was very hot, as it should be since it's celebrating the Caribbean.
Here we are trying to enjoy the music of the day.
Here I am eating Doubles -- we used to eat these everyday for lunch when I was in Trinidad. Thankfully, they were done well here as well! YUM!
One of the elaborate and ginormous costumes!
And me with a humongo costume.
The tail end of the parade.
And some more costumers.
Then there's been another fun part of summer: our new tennis courts! Jazz and I like to play one another a couple of times a week.
And luckily, we got to spend three weekends in a row with Christen. Here we are in Edmonton enjoying the heat on the patio!
Boo hoo! Even though the hot weather keeps going, that's it for summer vacation! Now I'll go and enjoy the last of it!

Jazz Goes to Steinbach, Manitoba to Meet the Family!
Summer is the best time to drive half way across the country and visit family in Manitoba. It was a first for Jazz; first time to drive 12 hours + in one day, and first time for him to meet my family there.
Jazz taking the wheel.
The first stop: Medicine Hat, Alberta
The second stop: Regina, Saskatchewan
Almost there: Winnipeg...45 more minutes until Steinbach.
Oh, we're there! There's Friesen Ave!
We had a wonderful welcome with a gathering on Sunday. Here's Uncle Smoky, Uncle Marty and cousin Connery.
Here's Auntie Bettie and Uncle Allen
Here's Meranda and Tony with their baby Margeux.
Monday we had dinner with more cousins and their growing families!
Now to show all the relaxation.
Grandma had finger lickin' good butta suppe ready for me right away! YUM!
We really enjoyed chillin' out and reading in the backyard every morning.
This is the most peaceful place I know on earth.
What perspective!
Grandma also made us a pie! YUM again!
And we sat back and played a lot of Skipbo!
Grandma treated us to a day at the Mennonite museum.
Lots of learning and a little playing!
Weeeee!
I love my grandma!!!!
And my husband!!!!
