Hey all!
I have a little project I've got going on... trying to make a master list with everyone's birthdate's... I will share this list of mine, but I need some help first..

Can I get everyone's birthday, and the kids as well... I've gotten some off of Facebook, but there are lots who aren't on Facebook, or don't list their birthdays.

I don't need the year, just month and day please!!!

Thanks!!!
Tara

no pictures, just comments

Really enjoyed the pictures- would really like copies of halloween costumers for my album! Also noticed Tate missing teeth right away. And Aidan will have to give a mini concert next time we see him. Ashton wants drums so they`ll be ordering extra insulation I bet. And is Ella ever growing- changed a lot since t/g.
Couldn`t get butter ripple schnappes- they had butter scotch schnappes for $6 so I got that and some Brady`s I think its called- doubles for baileys so we are going to do some experimenting. Not today though- its black Friday shopping time and need a clear head. Had our thanksgiving dinner- the park donates a 20 lb turkey per table- we had 4 no shows so that leaves 8 to divy up the leftovers- so we are having a leftover supper and horse racing night on Sat. here, and with Grey Cup Sunday might be an opportunity to move some more turkey!
Barry is checking out printers- our black ink printer head dried up and we can`t get it clean so hoping to get a new one tomorrow. I`m going to check out the Beyond the Rack site.....its in the high 70`s here so keep warm up there. We miss you all Love Linda & Barry
This is going to be a bit of a random blog....
the above pic is me night time mountian bike riding (again)... I found my low tempterature that I can function at that night... about -12 or so... my tootsies were pretty darn cold by the end of it!

We have had a herd (flock) of prairie chickens hanging out just on the other side of our yard gate for the past week.... they've been pretty darned amusing!!

Neil is leaving today to go to Palm Springs for the weekend... he has a good friend down there that has a house... they  are golfing and going to see an NFL game in San Diego... he will be back on Monday. 

I am going to the Spruce Meadows craft show on Saturday morning... should be fun... never been... want to join, Laurel??

I have discovered the website "Beyond the Rack" very dangerous... stinking good deals, but you end up buying stuff!!! hahaha... I found my favourite shoes (Earthies) on there yesterday for half price... and apparently that meant I could buy 2 pair!! go figure... but seriously good deals for any of you bargain hunters...
I am also very much enjoying the new Michael Buble Christmas CD... I would recommend it!

Have a great day!
Cheers,
Tara

What's New with the Ross'



Well, I know we haven't been on here in a very long time. I couldn't figure out how to post, but now I'm back in business.

Aidan is learning chanter (the part of a bagpipe where you play the melody) and this is a picture of him in his uniform. He had to sell poppies so that's why he was dressed up. Tate has recently lost three teeth and two more are loose. He is in a swim club and quite enjoying it. He attacks the water with a vengeance and is quite competitive.

I am going into my fourth week of practicum as a rehabilitation therapy assistant and will be done in two weeks. I've applied for a couple of positions but haven't heard anything yet.

Aaron is still working hard designing trusses and recently completed a run in Banff with Tara.

Made it to Yuma







Got here Nov. 14 early PM. We are slowly getting organized and getting things running. Did a little shopping last nite. A gallon of Egg nog for under $7.00 (a gallon of milk on special for $1.57). Linda is wondering where to find the gallon of butterbripple schnapps and a gallon of baileys to go with.
A few more shots on the way! Hope all is well with everyone.....Barry & Linda
