Posts from — September 2009

Right after the wedding we headed back to Princeton with Conrad and Sage. Jeff and Lindsay came along so they could spend some time with their niece and nephew. Sage was the perfect host making sure Auntie Lindsay and Uncle Jeff saw everything there was to see in the yard and she kept them busy playing with toys, etc. Conrad was just excited to be included and to spend some time with his Uncle and Aunt. After Jeff and Lindsay left we were kept pretty busy and we kept the grand-kids pretty busy with walks to the park, the candy store and shopping for groceries. Mom and Dad made it home around dinner on Sunday and by all accounts they had a great couple days together…… sans kids!. A few pictures are attached.

On Friday morning, September 18, 2009 Kevin and Tamara were married. It was a very small but very nice ceremony at the Rose Garden in Penticton. There was a very small gathering of family and friends. Tamara was beautiful in her wedding dress and Sage was spectacular in her flower girl dress. Kevin was dressed in a shirt and tie and Conrad was dressed likewise as the ring bearer. After the ceremony there were lots of chances for photos and then it was off to Theos Restaurant for a wedding lunch. The weather was fantastic, there were a few tears of happiness and everyone is delighted that Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad are now a family. Congratulations! Below are a few pictures of the day.

Last Thursday Sage and Conrad came for a quick visit. Mom and Dad had some personal stuff to get done in Kamloops and so they dropped off the grand-kids for a couple of hours……. it was great. We went to Prince Charles Park and let them use the playground equipment. Unfortunately the Wading Pool is closed for the season. Then we headed down to Riverside park and after a bit of a play on some of the slides, rides, etc. we headed down to the beach. We rolled up the pant legs and let them wade in to the river. In no time flat their pant legs were soaked and of course they were having a lot of fun. Mom and Dad showed up so we headed back home for lunch and then everyone headed back home to Princeton. It was a fun day for Namma and Grampa. Attached are a few pictures………. enjoy!

It’s been an up and down season for my golf game this year. I started off the year around a 9 – 10 handicap; clearly I was playing over my head. Then I just could not get off the tee box with my drive and my handicap slowly crept up to a 12 – 13. Nearing mid August I started to put some good games together……. thankfully I can scramble from the worst lies and places you can imagine. Anyway my handicap is now 10 – 11, so not too bad; however I still have that one or two stupid double bogie’s somewhere in the round. Oh Well; the company is great and it beats working!

Ouch! Has it ever been a long time since we have done a post and update. This is a lame apology to those who check our blog out occasionally and have not been seeing any updates. Anyway, immediately following Jeanine and Clay’s Wedding we had our annual Reunion get together. It was great to see everyone at the wedding and then we kept the laughter going through the remainder of the weekend. Everything was pretty low key but a lot of fun. We had a great day at Heritage Park in Calgary (even survived a cloud outburst), a super evening meal, a few guitar songs for entertainment (some may claim otherwise) and then a big breakfast on Monday morning before we all went our own ways. Thanks to Dean and Judy for taking a coordination role and getting us somewhat organized this year.
