Favouritest puppy ever!

Oh how I love this puppy. His name is Jake and he lives at my parents' house.













Jake and the arrow on the computer. He's trying to attack it...with his tongue.

Squashed!

This was my supper tonight.



Can you tell I like squash?

Seriously, I LOVE squash. I can even remember when my love for each kind of squash started.



Ahh, spaghetti squash. My first squash. When I was in high school, Dad baked it and then served it with butter and parmesan cheese. Mmm...still eating it that same way.











The first time I remember eating zucchini was grilled on the barbeque. I think I was in high school for this one too. Now I usually just saute it in a little bit of olive oil with some salt. Dee-licious!


I had my first butternut squash this spring. I loved it immediately. I actually remember thinking, "How have I made it to 27 without having tried this?" So nutty and sweet, butternut squash is perfect just mashed up with some margarine.

Acorn squash: this one is easy to remember because I cooked my first acorn squash tonight. I was almost nervous to eat it because I didn't want to not like it. Well, it was delicious. Very similar to Butternut, but not as sweet.

I don't know if I've ever loved any food SO HEALTHY this much. Squash is high in beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin C, and all kinds of other good stuff. Oh, and 0 fat and low in calories! And so yummy!

A Canmore Christmas

I know. It's February. Better late than never, right?


We stayed in a beautiful condo in Canmore for Christmas (try saying that 5 times fast!). This was the view out our windows.







With all the food and stuff we brought along, we didn't have room to bring a tree. I found this tree in the Christmas store in Banff, so I bought it and we decorated it. The Starbucks ornaments are my favourites.




Someone wrote this festive message on a bench downtown. So I took a picture of it.




On one of our walks, we came across this duck. Actually, he came across us. We were just walking and he was flying above us and as soon as he saw us, he swooped down into the snow beside us. Luckily, we had bread with us as we were on our way to find and feed some ducks. This is the first of MANY duck pictures. These ducks were awesome.



































I don't know why these videos won't fit in the border. Oh well. Enjoy.









On our way back from feeding ducks one day, Huey spied an adventure. There was a little island of ice with a branch going across the creek. Being the adventurous sort, he set off across the branch.



Don't fall! That would be cold.



So proud.



Then he made a giant snow angel.



Back home again. Dad and Zack are so cute.

I dare you to frown.

Go ahead...look at the following pictures and videos and just try to be unhappy. I dare you.

SK to BC and back...in photos!

Here they are, a very select few of my pictures I took on my trip!





Sadly, I didn't stop here.







Life changing soup in Jasper.


I took this picture for my mom.
I love Jasper.
I stopped for cherries, peas, and jam at the best fruit stand I found.
It rained from Jasper to Vancouver.
The sun would come out for a little windows of like, half an hour and then it would be back to the rain!
Sadly, I couldn't stop here either.
The hydrangeas in Vancouver were insanely huge and beautiful.
This used book store was CRAZY.
I love notebooks. And journals. And pens. And paper. Naturally, this store was like heaven for me. I could have spent $500 there. Seriously.
In the past couple of months, I've got this specific writing on my starbucks cup AT LEAST 5 times. What are the chances?
On the ferry on the way to Victoria!
Emma jumping into frame.
GREAT store where I got some great art pieces.
Stanley Park
Vancouver Aquarium
Turns out octopusses aren't cute at all. Quite ugly, in fact!

I'll give you 3 guesses what province I'm in now...and the first two guesses don't count!
