Happy 18th Birthday Ryan!

September 7th was Ryan's 18th Birthday! When he got home from work we took him out for supper along with his friend. He had rugby practice with the men's team that night. When he got home from that we took him and another friend to a bar and bought them each a shooter, beer and some wings. Ryan's first birthday.

We've been telling him for years he was getting luggage for his 18th b-day.

Cherry cheese cake was what he opted for...same as always.

Alberta Summer Games

Ryan went to the Alberta Summer Games last week. Their team won the gold!! They won every game and only had one try scored against them.

Hey mother, thought I would post some pics of my plants so you could see how they are doing. I'm definitely not a gardener.

I was going to dig this plant up but Roy didn't want me to. It looked dead forever but now it is finally doing something. Before

Our first attempt at a garden...some peas. Before

Wasn't sure if this was a weed or a plant but I decided to keep it and see. Before...

After...still not sure but it is pretty.

Trip to Banff with Nanny

Ryan trying to recover from Safe Grad. He crawled into bed around 4 am.

We camped for one night in Banff. This was the day after Ryan's grad...he went to bed fairly early. It rained for a few short minutes and then it was beautiful that night and the next day. If you look real close you can see the mountain through the trees.

Ryans Grad

Ryan had his graduation ceremony June 4th, followed by the banquet and safe grad. It was hard to smile with our eyes open with the sun shining in our eyes.

Dion Pheneuf was given an award. He went to Hunting Hills. We weren't going to post his picture because he use to play for Calgary Flames, but since he was traded we thought we would make an exception.
