While Phil and Kim were down visiting, Phil worked with Sierra on her bike riding abilities. She hasn't been able to ride it as we had taken off her training wheels but not actually got her going without them.

Phil also introduced her to a perk of being a country girl and showed her the goodness of grass (Timothy I think?) :) Look closely and you can see it suits her quite nicely.














Phil also helped her have some fun as he jumped her up some steps...it'll be a while *I hope* till she tries such stunts on her own.











This was the final practice run before they headed back to Innisfail. 

And she's off!!

Here is the proof that Sierra has learned to ride her bike with no training wheels. Way to Go Phil and Sierra. I am glad Phil was able to instigate and share this 'first' with Sierra. 

The Wedding!

Getting ready, Ocean's shoes were too small, guess they grow lots in a couple of months.

But she persevered, well done Ocean. 

 

Peter, you've done it, way to go...signed off and everything :) Congratulations!!!!!
A very nice looking couple eh? Run way may be in their future.
Now here I think Kate just may be practicing a run way look, feel perhaps it should be peter behind the camera!
The girls (almost all of them, sorry Journey) 

The flowers girls, minus one...but I got her later. They were so cute, did an excellent job and despite tight shoes only one cried during the service and it was when Kate walked down the aisle...Ocean, our old (or rather young) softy.
Amanda and Brad, affection not foreign yet!
Peter and little mischevious Ethan, despite trying to go up front to help out with the service, Ethan did well during the service, even picking me a flower petal from the aisle way.
Amy and Joureny, I really do love Amy's hair now. And Journey was so cute, can't wait to see the video. 

Your carriage awaits... and Journey there in the front, hmn, some sort of symbolism going on there, nicely done.
I made sure to get a great picture of the horse as he did a great job!
And got a good picture of Sierra with her horse, capturing 2 of my favorite things at once. Pretty good.
Kate, excellent job on the dresses by the way! 

Wandering angels...I am sure looking for some sort of good to do!
Can't be happy all of the time!
David, Erin, Emma, Josiah and Hudson (Hudson is with Erin right ? :)
Back for a bit from Russia. Very nice.
Emma was just resting her happy face before official pictures began, really /;)
Many have seen this picture, it's perfect. The girls really were angelic, including in almost all their behavior! 

John and I...obviously :)
Amanda, my very amazing sister. She has her hair done pretty much the same as Ocean...pretty darn nice long hair, hope it doesn'thave to go /;)
Arriving after their carriage ride through Banff. Great idea, glad her dad made it happen.
The girls got to go to, I sent Sierra down to ask, he said no to Kate's mom regarding them going, but soon changed his mind--as long as an adult accompanied! How could he resist such cuties. 

The elusive Jon. But I caught him twice...always looking a bit like a rocker. Thanks for letting me get ya Jon. We love you too, bit like Morfar really, quite, unobtrusive...but there, quick with his mind, thinker. hmmmn, gotta get to know you better. Thanks for the fish :)

Ethan is here too, off chasing a magpie which his hiding up by the tree. He was pretty well behaved this day, liked to have room to run and explore, tried it in the church which was a bit of a time for mom, dad, mom, grandma Tina...who else kept an eye?

Bradley...our purse bearer, like that you don't mind a photograh taken here and there :) You look good!
Grandpa Andy, wish I had zoom so I didn't have to sneak up in heels. 

They really do look up to him 'grandpa Andy'. I love that he is worthy of their love and respect! and that he usually gets it from them :)




Morfar, wonderful, peaceful, keeping himself outta the way, but always there when needed, truly a great grandpa!! We love you Mor Far! And I know I don't say that enough. Thank you so much for all you've done for our family, for being there, for offering support and for raising good kids yourself, who we got to have as relatives. :)
 

We ARE alive!!

A peek at Sierra's new 'lice' do and her favorite kitty (who we tend to keep) actually cuddled up and sleeping with her!! So adorable. Then Ethan (his foot is in the first picture) cuddled up too.
