Visit to Alberta

Trish has made the move to Red Deer.  I was able to travel with Trish from Abby to Red Deer and on our way we made a surprise visit to my parents.....it was THE BEST!!!

While at the parentals we played our usual competitive game of Wii!

Here we are on the deck at midnight checking out the full moon and the quietness of Didsbury:)

Dayla came down for the big move in day... 

the three of us do enjoy each other!

It was a quick trip, but totally worth it - seeing people I love and sending Trish off on her new adventure!

Good-Bye Trish

Trish is moving to Red Deer - we had one last get together at the Kaminski house before she left.  Dinner and a game of Clue for old time sakes and as per usual Trish won!

You will be missed Tricia!

take me out to the ball game

We went down to Seattle for the weekend to hang out with Ruth and Thomas.  On Saturday night we all went to see the Mariners play the Yankees - it made me feel very American!

Dayla!!!

Dear Dayla is back in Canada after her world travelings - what a blessing it was to see her - she is a beautiful woman of God!  She had wonderful stories to tell of her travels!

S.T.D. reunited again...LOVE LOVE LOVE these girls!

Chad and Alysse

We made it back to Vancouver just in time to see this beautiful couple get married!  Chad played volleyball with Matt this past year and we have enjoyed hanging out with Chad and Alysse as a couple.

Baby James

The Sunday after the big anniversary Matt and I had to fly out to Vancouver to make it back for a wedding, but in doing this we missed Baby James (cousin) baptism...very sad.  Again, I have no pictures for the post expect the one below.  Dan sang in the service - this is us before the service as we were getting dropped off at the airport.

Happy 50th Anniversary

Grannie and Papa Kaminski shared there 50th wedding anniversary on August 30th.  The entire extented family minus one was able to share the day with them - what an accomplishment.  Sadly we have no pictures of the actual event (others took pictures - perhaps they will come later).  These pictures are of the swanky hotel room we stayed at for the event - it was such a treat - if you look closely enough you will see the granite counter tops in the bathroom - we were a little bit out of our element:)

A week at the lake...

We spent a week at Christopher Lake with Dan and Hailey.  It was a great week of relaxation.  

There was a big storm and we lost power for about 20 hours...amazing how much we take power for granted.

This picture is tradition - everytime we are at the lake we take a picture in front of the cabin.

Oliver Wedding

We made the trek out to Elm Creek, Manitoba to see the union of Morgan and Nikki - it was a BEAUTIFUL day!  So happy we could be there to share in this special event!

It was fun to make a little road trip with the Kent, Hannah, Correna, Steve and Jon.  Good times were had with this crew.

Matt's attempting at teaching mom Morgan to dance...it was fun for EVERYONE!

We danced the night away...it was a wonderful day of celebration!
