Canadian adventures


A good friend of mine "recently" sent me a couple of pictures of his family on vacation around the Province of Alberta, Canada. As you can see from this superb snap, this looks to be a wonderful place on the planet. So beautiful and I do hope he doesn't mind me posting this picture!

We would love to visit Canada in the coming years, maybe when our little KJ is a few more years older though. Somehow I don't think it'll be worthwhile at this time (not that we can afford it! lol)

I've always fancied Alberta, British Columbia and the Alaskan State. This would make a fantastic road trip over a couple of months. Sounds like a plan !

Starting to save.... ;-)

A White Christmas ?


After being ill all week I decided to take our dog out for a walk in the frost & cold.
It looks like winter is coming early for once and everywhere is frosty and icy. Cool! I love winter and we rarely get good winters in this part of England anymore! Lets hope this continues and there's snow on the way soon :-)
This is awesome and it would be great for KJ's first xmas to be a white one!

My first Christmas


Here's little KJ preparing for her first Christmas.
She's got her xmas stocking ready and about to hang it up near the fireplace. All she needs to do now is learn to write, otherwise Santa won't know what to fill up her stocking with! ;=)
Merry Christmas everyone!

New Mexico


Here's a fantastic picture of us all taken by a kind German tourist in the south west of New Mexico. A day after leaving Tombstone in Arizona, it was a great time and we later went on to visit some awesome places in New Mexico, such as White Sands, Fort Sumner, Lincoln County and the original Las Vegas! We also had the pleasure of a dodgy motel in Capitan, but this turned out to be a great laugh!

Katie meets Santa !


Here's little Katie Jayne meeting Santa for the very first time. She wonders why such a white beardy man has black eye brows..

Anyhow, lets hope she was wise enough to ask for money or an sports car for her Christmas present!

Thank you to Grandma & Grandad for this first visit :)

Now little (noisy!) Katie Jayne, where's MY present?

Christmas


It's coming Christmas again, everyone's favourite time of year!
Last year was brilliant over xmas itself, we had a great time! We also decided to break the usual traditional mold of spending the new year at home and booked a couple of nights in the Lake District, Cumbria. A small town called Grasmere.
Lovely place and very eerie at this time of year because there wasn't many people about. Esp at night time. Weather wasn't too great, well, it poured down all the time... see attached picture! But we had a great time :-)

Buckles!


My new belt buckles arrived yesterday from www.buckleshop.com and they're incredible Quality made and they also look fantastic to boot!
I just had to buy the Texas one for myself, this was my first State that I travelled as part of our road trip in 2006 and I loved it!!! Idaho is an incredible scenic place and I recently realised that we had nothing from this State, no caps, no T-Shirts, nothing! So this is the reason i also got a idaho buckle..
We bought another two for my dads christmas present. Colorado and California, to mark this years vacation :-)
A great fella called Geoff runs this web site, i highly rec a visit. I'll deff be going back, I want a buckle for each of the 13 States we've visited :)
