Kub Kar Time

Building a car using a simple machine is ever more fun when you get to race it with your friends. B had lots of fun with is dad and uncle designing and building his Kub Kar this year. It was designed after the transformer Optimus Prime. They pay attention to every small detail, but in order for it to be light enough to race, some accessories had to be removed, and the under side had to be hollowed out.

B's Kar wasn't the fastest, but in my books it had the best design, and looked the coolest. His Kub Kar is #13

Christmas Time

The family enjoys the holidays with family and friends while celebrating the birth of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. It's a time to gather to make memories, sing songs, and put on concerts. It brings joy to our hearts to give service to others at this time in our live that the world takes to think more about others then we do about ourselves.

Space Monsters

Learning how to make Birthday Cupcakes is definitely a life skill that everyone should have. These are not nutritious, but every cute and fun to make.

You have to be careful though because you might turn into a space monsters after you eat one like Little G.

Surfs Up!

Social studies can be a slash. Taking in one of Alberta's most famous tourist attractions in the capital city at the West Edmonton Water Park. 

Ice Skills

Taking to the ice, and learning how to skate for M and W was one of our Physical Education highlights this year. B worked hard on honing his previously learned skills and a great time was had by all. Little G even had a try on the slippery surface.

Halloween

 Dressing up and running around for candy is always fun, especially if you get to do it with friends and family. Here are just a few snap shots of that fun day in 2011.

The Marathon of Hope

Mr. B

Terrance Stanley Fox was born on July 28, 1958. He died on June 28, 1981 of bone cancer after trying to run across Canada.
Terry Fox was the second oldest of four children. Terry’s Mothers name was Betty, and his fathers name was Rolly. Terry worked very hard to achieve his goals, for example he practicing hard everyday so he could be on the High school basketball team even though he was small. Terry Fox got bone cancer when he was in college in his right leg and had to have it amputated in 1977.
Terry got a prosthetic leg to help him walk. He wanted to end cancer. Terry wanted to ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Terry’s plan was to run 26 miles a day. He was going to start at the Atlantic Ocean then run to the Pacific Ocean. The name of his run was the Marathon of Hope. He started on April 12, 1980 in New Found Land. He ran 3,339 miles in bad weather in 143 days. He almost ran all the way to Thunder Bay Ontario where he was forced to stop on Sept 1, 1980 because his cancer spread to his lungs. He later died June 28, 1981.
Terry Fox is national hero because he was brave, and he showed the world that we can do hard things. He was awarded the Order of Canada. The Terry Fox Run is held every year to help us remember his World Wide Legacy, and help raise money for cancer research.
