I'm always game for a birthday bash!!! This year Kenzie had a Hawaiian Dance party and it was a hoot!! The girls all showed up in the flowers we made for them with their invitations and they all dressed up in cute flowery dresses and outfits. 
My friend Stephanie played What Time is it Mister Wolf with the kids. You needed ear plugs from all the squeals of terrified little girls!
Opening presents.
I can't believe she's 4!!!
Im currently enrolled in a 10 mile running clinic at The Running Room. We do our "Long-Slow-Distance" run on Sundays and since that it occurs on Valentines Day this year, they had an interesting idea: all persons that were able to show up for the run this day were asked to "wear red if they were taken and in a relationship" or "wear pink if you were looking and available".
Since I dont own too many red clothing items, my "crafty" wife Karla, decorated one of my toques for me! It was a great day for a 10k, and I swear that Im sure the hearts on my hat made me run faster :)
Group picture of all attendees of this past Sunday's run and their V-Day attire. PS: Way to look "manly" guys! Yes, "Pink is the new Black".
This year, there was a complete registration of 210 participants for the event. It was stressed that this wasn't a serious competitive running event, but a fun event enjoyed by running enthusiasts of all types
I had a lot of fun running in this event. I started at the rear of the pack for the beginning of the race and finished somewhere in the top 1/4 of participants. My time was 32.20 which I definitely could have improved upon, with a more structured start and better trail conditions.
Just before all the schools let out for the holidays, Justin thought it would be a great day at the Sugar Bowl for some tobogganing! He was right it was a blast!!! We were the only ones there for most of the time and Mackenzie was a true dare-devil!!!
Kenzie insisted that she go it alone. She must have walked up that hill 50 times by herself!
It was a fantastic snow day!!!
Kenzie was a cute 50 60's dancer this year. Her most favorite thing was the fact that she got to wear make-up!! 
At the Truck or Treat.
Doing some posing for mom.
She was and expert at the twist!!
Mackenzie started preschool Sept. 9th, and boy was she ready!! Her preschool is called Noah's Ark 1st Adventure and it's in the basement of a beautiful church in downtown Lethbridge. What a wonderful experience she has to learn and grow and meet new friends!
On the front steps of her new school!!
This is a picture she drew for her teacher Mrs Slomp.
