Fun Photography




Rosanna and I had a blast taking some pregnancy photos for her at 32 weeks. It was such a treat to use a beautiful camera to capture some precious moments. You don't realize all the amazing places there are to take pictures with soo many old buildings around. Look forward to playing with her camera again sometime when we get together for a visit! :)

Weekend With The Trenchuks


This weekend we had a great visit with the Trenchuk's. It is always so much fun to have them out and watch the boys play more together as they get older. They make quite the trio!!! Finding any water to make some mud!!

Higher!!


Me and my girls



Where's there's dirt, there are boys!

For You Kimberly!!

A friend had posted on her blog how her 2 year old got into the diaper cream and it just flooded back memories from December 2006 when my little guy walked out of his room looking like this!! Don't worry Kim, we all go through it and obviously Jaren got into a "little" more than what Briana did!! Always good for a laugh later on!

Jaren would have been 16 months old here!! Busy little boy!

Loving the Weather

We have been enjoying every minute we can outdoors with this warmer weather. Everyone is much happier not being trapped inside and being able to get some fresh air!! So thankful spring is on its way!

Going for a walk....Tori in the lead, followed by Keesha, Jaren, Landen and me (with the camera!)

Jaren enjoying riding his Mighty JD tricycle - he just got big enough to ride this last year, don't know when we'll tackle the 2-wheeler!


Happy to walk

My dirty little boy trying to hide from his mother :)




The obvious interest that my boys showed in some ponies of a friends - don't know if we'll be heading out anytime soon to get these boys their own horse, I think they'd rather have a quad or something with a motor! :)

My Two Monkeys

This morning as we were getting ready Landen wanted to brush his teeth so I set him on the counter and he climbed into the sink to sit there and do the job. I thought it was kind of cute cause I remembered Jaren doing the same thing at about the same age!!!

Landen - 2 yrs old

Jaren - 20 months of age

Visits With Great Grandma

The weekend was made extra-special since one of Landen's Great Grandma's was able to spend his birthday with him. She just adores watching the little ones play around her and keep her entertained.
The boys made fast friends once again with Auntie Ellen as she had some goodies to share with them....popcorn and grapes!!! :)

Landen's 2nd Birthday

Happy birthday to our little man, Landen, who turned 2 yesterday!! It is soo hard to believe that 2 years have gone by since we were blessed with such a precious gift from God. After church we had Sabbath dinner here with family and close friends to celebrate Landen's 2 years that he has blessed us with! The meal consisted of good 'ol haystacks and then a chocolate cake and ice cream for desert.

The guest of honor (even if he didn't realize it!)

The Big Day Tomorrow!

It's hard to believe that 2 years ago tomorrow our youngest son made his grand, unexpected entrance into this world!! 2 YEARS OLD ALREADY!!! Where did the past 24 months go?? For his birthday tomorrow Jaren and I created a Johnny Tractor cake, we hope he likes it. I know that Jaren is dying to dive into it tomorrow :) Landen will get to celebrate with a number of the Letniak clan that will be out for the weekend - I am looking forward to it.

Charolais Power 2010

Yesterday we had our annual purebred Charolais bull sale which went quite well. There seemed to be a lot more people there this year and every one of our bulls sold!!! It is nice to have this chapter done for the year.
Still completely into construction equipment and not caring at all about the bulls!

Watching the sale from the side lines.


Landen's most fun was running around the lobby in his handsome cowboy boots.....



... and trying to pick up the ladies! :)

Today Jaren and Daddy had a fun and exciting day visiting a large Ritchie Bros Auction sale in Edmonton. Jaren was in heaven with all of the construction equipment that he got to see. I think that it s a day that he'll remember for a very long time!!!


"How 'bout this one Dad??"




"Let's take this one!!!"
