Another Year In Alberta ...

Well it seems like another year has flown by here in Alberta. It seems like just the fact of living in Alberta has made the news this year... I am so tired of being asked questions about life in Alberta....and why we moved here....and when are we coming home....???

NEWSFLASH FOLKS !!!! THIS IS OUR HOME !!!! KENNY, MAKENNA & I are in fact ALBERTANS now!!!

It was a relativly quiet year for us in all actuality, really just spent a relazing year watching Makenna grow a little more every day... much quieter than the past couple of years with all the excitement in our lives...

Makenna and I went to visit my sister Roberta in January in Sidney, B.C. for a couple of weeks. My mom was there visiting and she came back here to Cold Lake with us for a couple of months. The winter was relativly quiet, nothing really special happened except lots of snow.

My best friend Tracey got engaged on Valentines day, so planning her wedding consumed our spring.

My nephew Vince and his girlfriend Jessica came out west from NS, in May to stay with us for the summer. We bought our very 1st ride on lawnmower and Kenny & I actually started fighting over who got to cut the grass...LOL

We adopted a puppy from the SPCA as well, a little border collie cross, her name is OREO. she is a cutie and a great companion for Charly.Makenna loved getting outside to play in her sandbox on the deck and going ot the park usually ended up in tears when she had to leave.

We took off to Jasper in June for a week for John & Tracey's wedding and a nice holiday in the mountains. We had an awsome time.

We spent lots of time at Sandy beach this summer. Tracey, John, Curtis & the dogs spent lots of long weekends up here this summer. July was really hot so we went out and picked up one of the last pools in the greater Tri City area...LOL !!! We had another houseguest arrive in July. Jordan Allen, one of Kenny's friends from PEI came out to work and is staying with us as well.

My mom came for another visit in late August, so it was nice to have her here again for another couple of months. We took in some berry picking.

Makenna turned 2 in September, and she sure finds ways to fill up my days.... she is a going concern and there is never a dull moment around this house.

We had a beautiful fall and spent lots of time outside.

Winter came very early this year and November saw lots of snow.....and very cold tempuratures, way earlier than normal. Kenny's Rig worked all the time right through all the changing seasons.

We took a lot of trips to Edmonton this year but not really anywhere else besides Lloydminister We had a great christmas and santa was very good to us. I decorated super early so i took it all down already and now we are back to normal. Whatever that is...LOL

I guess thats it from The Munn Family !!!

No real predictions for 2007 !!!

Not sure what the new year will hold for us, maybe some surprises !!! good ones for sure...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

To all our family and friends, May your holidays be filled with good times, good cheer,and may the New Year bring you every joy filled with peace and prosperiety !!!

It was great, we had a fun filled but busy time....

We had to take Jordan to the airport on friday (22nd), so we went down to the city that afternoon. We went right to Fort Saskatchewan to have some late lunch at Pizza Delight ( Kenny's fav place ever !!!!).

Then we went to Sherwood park to visit with my cousins, the boys engaged in a poker game and before we knew it it was 10.30pm.....time to head to Edmonton International !!!

Jordan's flight left at 1.05am on the 23rd.....we left him at the airport around 11.30pm.....so he had lots of time....

Then Kenny, Makenna & I all headed over to Beaumont to Tracey & Johns to go to bed...we were tired.....

We got up Saturday morning and went out to do a little shopping, It was surprisingly calm.... really not all the busy.... We went to Costco, Old Navy, Wal-mart, Canadian tire and a million other spots in the mill woods mall....

We hung out for a little bit then Kenny, Makenna & I took off to Candy Cane lane.... We took a horse & wagon ride to see all the lights.....It was awesome....

Then Kenny took us to Swiss Chalet for the festive special....YUMMY !!!

We finally made it back to Tracey & Johns for a beer or too and then off to bed...

On sunday (Dec 24) we headed off and stopped at my cousin Deb & Don's in sherwood park again for a visit then headed out.....

Of course we made yet another stop at Pizza Delight !!!!

We made it home to Cold Lake around 3.00pm.....

Just enough time to grab showers and head off to my brother Scoot & Tracy's for their christmas eve open house..... had some rum and eggnog and ate lots of yummy munchies....


By the time we got home....we were just about done for the day......I put Makenna to bed.....pulled out all the santa stuff and was in bed sound asleep by 9.30pm...LOL
