Grant has a look alike!

Guess who???



Mama Sharon made it to Edmonton!!!This is EPIC!!

Glad the Salmons planned a trip to Calgary so they could bring my mama with them!! Robbie was working so my friend, Jena, came with me to surprise my mom in Calgary. We bought her a Greyhound bus ticket for Calgary to Edmonton because the weather looked bad, but then I couldn't sit at home and wait all night, so we surprised her by meeting in Calgary. She didn't even recognize her grandson in that weird sweater!! Karen and Leslie Salmon were in on the surprise!
Edmonton Temple- look at all that snow that fell in one night. Amazing!

My dream boat- the least popular man downtown- surprised us by dropping in during his break. I love it when he works Southwest!!

Had to bring a special missionary some goodness from home in Provo, UT!! We found him in a library further north than I had ever ventured previously since moving to Edmonton

Dare to try donair?

Surprised how well Grant warmed up to Mama Sharon!

COSTCO finds made EVEN better with the Canadian Dollar- fig bars were even on sale! Mama- they must really love you.

She might kill me when she sees this one... She sure does need to catch up on her sleep when she comes to Canada. I guess they don't let her sleep back home... I love the attached cell phone ;)

Good morning, Sunshine!

"I can't believe we paid to do that!" - Mama Sharon

Our favorite Vietnamese soup in the West Ed Mall

Bubble TEA!! (It's not really tea, just a milky smoothy with tapioca and REAL fruit chunks.) I know she is having withdrawals as we speak.

Uncle Jim "babysat" while the rest of us played Quirkle.

You can't come to Edmonton without enjoying an Oiler's Game!! They even won for us! Just more of that good luck that Mama Sharon bring with her!!

Sorry Robbie- I uploaded the wrong photo. Your eyes are closed!!

Some people are fortunate enough to ride home in that beauty.

Mom had to meet my second cousin, Tiffany Mosaico! This is dad's cousin Jan's daughter who is my Relief Society President in our ward right now. SMALL WORLD.

Bravery Buddies- mom was a slave driver making me stay up til 1am to finish this project for Leslie. But thanks for helping me become a "finisher," mom! You're so good at that.

Costco Poutine is the BEST!! We had to go twice while she was here :)

Visiting dad's Aunt Jeanne just outside of Calgary. Well, actually an hour off the beaten trail but totally worth it.
Model pose!

Aunt Jeanne lives in a forest!!!




Calgary Temple!! Too rainy for a picture :(

We are just waiting to figure out if we will be staying in Edmonton for the next few years while Robbie attends medical school. On Monday, May 4th, we should know from the U of A if we are in or not. If not, we will either be going to Texas or Toronto.......
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!
