Blood Moon - September 27, 2015

We took the boys outside and had them watch the eclipse.  Unfortunately we didn't have the right camera, or view point to get a good shot.  The boys were a little bored, and then I was called in to work!   Here are a couple of shots that friends, and friends of friends took.

This photo was taken from Sandy Beach, in Calgary.

This picture was taken by my friend Glen Freeman in St. Albert, Alberta

Claudette & Regan's Wedding

Cochrane Rodeo - the boys first try at wild pony racing...

It was a little mucky at the rodeo grounds!  So much for a nice September long weekend!  I have shots from 3 different cameras and somehow they never want to line up properly!  Here goes:

Grandma took this video for us from the stands.  You'll have to look close but you get the idea.  They did it!

First Day of School - September 1, 2015

The boys were surprisingly excited for the first day of school this year.  I think they were mostly excited for new backpacks, actually!

Jay is 8 and starting Grade 4 with Mme Tiffany Rasmussen.

Nathan is 7 and starting Grade 2 with Mme Joanne Weiler.

Carson is 10 and starting Grade 5 with Mme Rachel Vossler.  He is also sporting new clothes that he picked out for back to school.  Up until now the boys haven't really thought about what to wear, which was kind of nice!

Rusty is now 8 months old and likes to stare out the front window when we are out on the front steps.  This was her as we were taking back to school pictures.

They survived the first day!  This was them when I went to pick them up.  I had taken the earlier photos on my good camera, this was from my phone so we could send a picture to Uncle Jason.  They all love their new teachers and we hope it will be a good year.
