Another Day

Brotherly Love

Above are just some pictures I took over the last two days.  I love my boys and love taking pictures of them.  Levi sure does love his little brother. 

Train Ride to Jasper

On Saturday Toby, myself and the kids went aboard the Skeena Train with Via Rail from Prince George to Jasper to stay one night.  Below is a picture of the engine that took us from Prince George to Jasper.

Here is a family shot of the four of us in the dome car of the train.  Weather on our way to Jasper was EXCELLENT.  Sun was shining and sky was clear.  To top off our trip we had the train all to ourselves!  Levi had a blast wandering around.

Levi and Toby had fun playing with toys and watching for wildlife.  We had the pleasure of seeing many eagles on the river.

VIA Rail still delivers the mail to Penny, BC so of course we had to get our picture taken when we stopped.  So below is me (Penny) and my two boys in Penny, BC

With such great weather heading into Jasper we had a great view of Mount Robson

The dome car was too bright for Landen most of the time so I brought him here to the couch for a while.  He loved it, I had him laying on the couch while I ate lunch and he layed there with tons of smiles talking away.  Our attendant just fell in love with him.

Below is an old engine parked in Jasper and Levi had to get his picture taken with it as it was just huge.

When in Jasper we stayed at the Jasper Park Lodge.  Below we went for a family walk before dinner.  The lodge is beautiful and if you have never been I highly reccomend it.  They have a lake there (as seen below) and we were lucky enough to have our room with a full view of the lake and the mountains.  Beautiful is all I can say.

The trip was a great family getaway and we hope to do it again. Other places we would like to travel would be across Canada as well as PG to Prince Rupert.  Our attendant Tracy said the PG to Prince Rupert trip is the most beautiful.  She has been working with VIA rail for 29 years and she chose this route to work on as it is her favourite.  She resides in Kelowna and comes here for her working shift of 13 days straight.  I had a great time visiting with Tracy. I discovered what a small world especially in the train industry.  We were chatting and I told her I was raised mostly in North Bend and Boston Bar, she mentioned how she used to love stopping there to buy pies in the early 80's from the beanery.  That put a smile on my face as my Grandpa Roy made those pies then, the same Grandpa Roy Landen received his middle name from.  It was a special trip with many memories and I look forward to our next family trip together.

My friend Paul is a photographer and he took a bunch of pictures of me when I was pregnant with Landen and then came by when Landen was first born. Below is just a couple pictures as his computer program buggered up. I am waiting for the rest and hope they come soon. Till then, enjoy as I have they turned out pretty cute if Ido say so myself.

I really like this one

Well I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I do. I love my boys and look forward to Paul taking some great family shots as well. He would like to come out with us on the river when we take the family and get some action shots.

May long weekend my family is planning to be here... the WHOLE family. This will include my Dad & Ginny, My eldest sister Michelle with her whole family, My sister Jessica with her family, and my brother Rodney with his family and of course me & My family. This will be the FIRST time of us all getting together EVER. It should be a great time and I hope Paul will still be in town to come by and get some good shots as well of this family time.

Levi feeding his bear

Okay so today when we got back home after having lunch with Toby I had to feed Landen.  Levi was playing with one of his teddy bears had him in the baby swing and such.  Then he said that the teddy was hungry and he had to feed him.  Need I say anything more, see below....
