Rider Pride

We were able to attend the BC Lions vs. Sask. Roughriders game today in Vancouver. We had great weather for the afternoon game!
Dad is out visiting for the weekend. We had already bought our tickets for the game well before we knew he was coming. So he ended up sitting two sections over from us - in better seats!
They were doing a salute to veterns pre-game and at half time.
the boys...
Post Game...still smiling even though we lost.
Dad treated us to Montana's for supper after the game - good times had by all!

Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday after church, we headed out to a local pumpkin patch to pick prize pumpkins to be carved.
Menno was dressed appropriately for the occasion.
Trying to find the 'perfect' pumpkin.

An artist at work. (he is his Father's son)
Matt's pumpkin - isn't it well done?! Matt was so pumped to find an unripe green pumpkin.
Don't judge my pumpkin on my lack of creative skills:)

26th Birthday!

Friday was my birthday and I had a wonderful day! My day started off with one of my favorite things...breakfast in bed!
Next came a few presents...I feel like I'm getting old...when your younger you don't get excited about new Tupperware!
In the evening Matt took me down to Yaletown to a place called Capones. It was a cute little restaurant that had live jazz music!
After supper we walked around downtown. There is so much to see and experience down there. The weather out here has been beautiful - crisp and clear - made for a wonderful evening.
My new birthday coat from One Tooth - I LOVE IT!!!
A beautiful friend that is stil in Uganda sent these pics over:)
Isn't she getting so big?! She has little teeth now and is crawling and is still the cutest baby - we miss her, but pictures and updates definately help!
I had a GREAT birthday and felt very loved and blessed. I'm excited to see what my 26th year will bring!
