Our 2015 highlight reel, in pictures! Enjoy :)
We began 2015 with a road trip to Calgary! We spent 1 night in a hotel and the next night we spent with friends at our friends Derek and Jen's house. It was so much fun for the 6 adults and (as you can see in the photo above) for the 6 children!!
In February, we celebrated Emerson's 6th birthday with a few of her closest friends and family at Cineplex Odeon!
mid-February: Blake and the St. Matthew's KC Storm participated in the Stan Gantar Outdoor hockey tournament. There were some very cold games and some games cancelled due to the cold but we got all our games in! Nothing like some good old fashioned outdoor hockey :) The kids had a blast!
End of February: Emerson and Reese's 1st ringette tournament!! A day of fun at the Timbits Beaumont Ringette Jamboree! 1/2 ice games, 4 on 4, no score kept, just good 'ol fashioned fun :) Reminded me of the Friendship Tournaments I played in as a young ringette player! They had a blast and also enjoyed the lobby entertainment - make your own noise makers, face painting and hair braiding!! Right up the girls' alley ;)
Family photo before heading to Church on Easter Sunday! Easter Sunday service is one of my favorite services of the year.
In May we celebrated Blake's 8th birthday at Servus Place with a few of his closest friends and family! Floor hockey and Pokemon were the main activities of his choice ;)
Blake's 1st year of Lacrosse! He loved it and did so well! The lacrosse season was from the end of April to mid-June.
Reese's
preschool graduation in May. And also saying goodbye to Mrs. Chong and
Mrs. York! We've spent 3 years with these fabulous ladies and thank
them for the time they've spent with Emerson and Reese, they've been absolutely wonderful and we'll miss them and Lago Lind Preschool.
Mother's
Day weekend Emerson and her dance group competed in a dance competition
at Grant MacEwan. Their dance was a tap dance :)
Powerhouse Dance Recital - June 2015! These cuties did so well, 2 of the best in their groups!
Cal ran in the Canada Day Road Race (15 km) and we enjoyed the Canada Day festivities at the legislature grounds!
Our annual Smith/Cameron/Stecyk summer camping trip was spent at Ol'
MacDonald's Resort! The weather was amazing and we had so much fun!
mid-September: Blake had another great Oil Kings clinic! A huge thanks to the Oil Kings and ATB for putting on this wonderful event!
Spiffed up in SK! mid-July, attending my cousin's wedding!
Pedalheads Bike camp in July with the Hrdlicka's and Connor :) Another great week of camp and Reese is now on 2 wheels!! Our week at bike camp was followed by a weekend at Miquelon lake with our besties, the Hrdlicka's!
One of many great camping trips this summer - Here the kids are enjoying Grandma and Grandpa's tube and boat at Long Lake :)
Enjoying the last days of our summer vacation, at Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park :) We visited Mt. Kidd, the Icefields parkway and Jasper on our summer camping vacay.
More fun at Pyramid Lake!
After
weeks of tryouts in August and September, Blake is proud to represent the KC Saints, Novice
tier 2 rep team!! There are 16 tiers in EMHA. We're so proud of our
boy, he's doing great at this level and loving the intense competition.
End of August: Emerson
and Blake, crossing the finish line with Cal at the Edmonton Marathon.
One of my most favorite photo's of the year! Cal did it, he finished
his first FULL marathon!!
Cheering on Cal at the 1/2 way point during his marathon!
Off they go - all in the same school :)
September 8th - first day of school!!
The most handsome third grader!!
Our gorgeous first grader!!
Our beautiful kindergartener!!
Reese and Emerson began ringette in October! Reese is in Active Start 1, which is 1 ice time/weekend. It is more like a learn to skate/learn ringette program. They don't have any organized league games but do play in a fun tournament at the end of the year. Last year she would tire after approx 45 minutes but this year, she's skating hard until the end :) I enjoy being on the ice with her as an assistant coach!
Emerson is in Active Start 2. She plays 1/wk and twice every second week. She will be participating in 3 tournaments this year. In Active Start 2 they start learning more of the rules of the game and playing 1/2 ice games. She is enjoying herself and is super happy to have her Dad on the ice with her, as an assistant coach :)
After a few years of being disappointed in our family photo's, we decided to try to take our own! We took this photo on Thanksgiving weekend, before our family dinner at the Stecyk's. We got gorgeous shots of the kids but it was raining off and on and we didn't get a great family photo :( We'll try again next year and in the meantime, enjoy this photo of our gorgeous kiddo's!
LOVE this photo!! The Hulk, Princess Auora and our Pirate = Halloween 2015.
A fabulous November night out at the River Cree with my Mom and Sister, celebrating my 35th birthday!!
Miss Emerson chose Ukrainian dance this year! Here she is at her costume fitting in November!
Reese's 5th birthday party at 4 Cats Art Studio! So much fun!!
Reese had her 1st Music Recital in December! Her part was very short but she did wonderful and learned so much from this music class. Unfortunately the next session does not work with our schedules but she wants to play piano, so I will try to get her into piano lessons in September!
Blake's first school choir performance was in early December, at City Hall!!
I spent the first two Friday's of December on a field trip with Blake and the rest of the grade 3's, 4's, 5's and 6's! We had so much fun and Blake mastered the chair lift!
Another beautiful Christmas pageant by the Sunday school children at St. Albert United Church! The kids did so great!
A new tradition begins! Delivering gifts for Santa's Anoymous. We delivered gifts to five different homes.
Photo with Santa! They all still believe :)

We spent Christmas Day at my Mom and Dad's with Connor and Mason (and their parents!) :)
Boxing Day at our house, with Grandma Bev, Colby, Jenna (and their parents!), Katie and Greyson :)
December 27 to 29th, Blake and the KC Saints participated in the Confederation Hockey Tournament. They played amazing, and won GOLD!! So proud of this team and my boys - #4 and Coach Cal ;)
After a busy Christmas break, we decided to ring in 2016 together, at home. It was a wonderful evening, spent watching hockey, putting together Lego, playing games and working on Cal's puzzle :)
