For the last two summers my dad and I worked on building this beautiful deck for Tracy and I. We build it all from scratch and its all made of cedar wood. Granite counter top, build in BBQ, movable benches and a large table are just a few futures of the deck. The deck is pretty much done, we just need to put a coat or two of stain on it. So this summer we are ready to finally enjoy it!

I have a wedding to photograph in two weeks, it will be in Airdrie and Crossfield and I'm very excited about it. Today I went for a drive to scout some possible locations for our formal photographs. I found some nice spots, the problem is finding a nice spot with enough space where the limo can stop and turn around :) Here a couple of photographs of my MINI in one of the locations that I found.

Tracy's mom just came to Calgary from her vacation in Arizona and brought some home grown lemons for us. They are huge and so juicy! She brought a whole suitcase of them so we made lemonade and we have to think what we will be doing with the rest of them :)

It is my dad's birthday today and because tomorrow is a Mother's Day, we decided to have my parents over at our house and to celebrate it all together. The weather was great and we had a nice BBQ and I made some great shish kebabs, pretty sure the best shish kebabs I ever ate! Happy Birthday Dad!

Today was a beautiful day so as soon as Tracy got home from work we decided to go for a walk. We had a great walk for about 10 km around a very nice neighborhood right outside of Airdrie city limits. We were a little late getting back home and the sunset was almost over but I still grabbed my camera and took a couple of shots.

This morning Tracy and I went for a nice bike ride with our friend Greg. After we were done I decided to take a couple of shots of Greg on his strange looking bike. I tried riding his bike and it is not as easy as it looks.

Tracy and I had a great day today. We spent some time with a couple of our friends at the Telus World of Science in the morning and than spent our evening with our family at our place playing Rock Band and watching a movie.

Tracy's sister Mandy came over today and we all played Rock Band 2 on our Wii. We bought Rock Band a week ago and it is so much fun! We need to buy one more guitar so more people can play at the same time:)

I spent my morning skiing! I didn't ski for about 3 years so I thought I would start it easy and go for some skiing at Canada Olympic Park. I don't like this ski hill because its pretty small and flat but it is a good hill to get back in shape on :) I had a great time and I'm looking forward to some trips to bigger mountains sometime soon!

Yesterday was a long day for me! First, my friend Greg and I played some curling in a tournament that his company organized. This was the first time I ever played and I was terrible at it. I had lots of fun and met some great people but I don't think this would be the sport for me. Below is a photo of Greg and a photo of me, thank you Greg for taking it for me.

Second, right after curling I headed off to photograph hockey playoff game at Mount Royal College, they played against University of Calgary. I was pretty tired but it was a good game so I had a great time. On my way home I drove over some kind of a hole on the road and my tire blew up. I have 2 big holes in the tire and my rim is bent a bit as well :(
