Brrrrrrrr...!

This was early Tuesday morning. Another storm on it's way, and a temperature of about -7 *c

My Dad managed to make it to work without much difficulty.

Mom and I stayed inside where it was warm.

Snow Day

Grandpa stopped by to see if we needed anything on his way to Duncan. We were building a snow family on the side of the Trans Canada Highway.

It's SNOWING!

I've never seen snow before, and last night I got to taste it! We were in Victoria yesterday for Amber's soccer game and the man on the radio said the Malahat was getting covered in the white stuff, so we had to pull Amber off the field and leave in a big hurry to get home. (Mommy's car doesn't do well in the snow.)
This is a picture of what it looked like on our way home...

My BIG Brother

My big brother is 9 years old. Infact, his Birthday is very close to mine. I'm 9 days (and 9 years) younger than Reece. He makes me laugh, and in the pictures you can see why.

Celtic vs Manchester United

I dressed up to watch a game with my Gran and Grampa Tuesday at Soccer World in Saanich. I had to leave before there was a score, but from what I heard Celtic scored a winning goal in the 80th minute! Yaaay!!!

"Our Fridge"

Bouncin' Around

I've been working out in my 'Jolly Jumper" lately. I'm hoping to be the best Soccer player when I grow up.

Early Programming

While I work on my Blog, Mom and Abby do the dishes. I can't type yet or use the mouse, but I am making all the executive decisions on what goes into this site.

Halloween was scary. My Mom changed into a Zombie, and we went to my brother Reece's school for lunch where there were all kinds of creepy kids. It was also my Grandpa Peterson's birthday. My family had a nice dinner with pumpkin pie for dessert. I had milk,...again!

Ready for All Hallows Eve

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jack's lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

Saturday at Uncle Dan & Jean's

Mark & Tracy (smokin'!!)

Mark & Bella

ME

Toby

Baby Bella

Almost every Saturday I get to visit Uncle Dan & Jean's house. Grandpa is always there, and Uncle Mark & Auntie Glo too. On rare occassion, I see my cousin Tracy, (if she's awake). And always,....always,....there are doggies!

Rock Hunting

Last Saturday I went to my Grandpa Kelly's old house in East Sooke with my Mom & Dad, and my Uncle Mark and Cousin Joe. We brought home a whole bunch of great colourful rocks and minerals that my Grandpa had under his house. We even found the most precious stone I've ever heard of,..... JADE!

Autumn Colours

My back yard is full of pretty bright leaves now. There is so much to look at, and everything is always moving. I had my first ride in Grandpa's car too. It's loud and makes me fall asleep.

Tea at the Empress

Mommy took Amber and me to the Empress Hotel for Amber's annual "Birthday Tea Party". I didn't cry at all, but I did throw up a little at the table. It was fun. I like playing Princess at the Empress!

Amber's 14th Birthday!

October 7

Today is my big sister Amber's Birthday. We spend a lot of time together and I love her very very much.

Celtic Rule!

My Grandma & Grandpa Kelly are very big Celtic supporters. They woke me up at 4:00 am. one morning to watch a live game on the Internet!

My Protectors

These are my protectors; Saber & Abby. They love to sniff my face and lay near me when I'm sleeping.

Salt Spring with my Sister

Last Saturday I made my first trip to Salt Spring Island with Amber, Mom, and Kimmy to watch Amber play Soccer. The score was o/0 ! I slept through it all.

I'm over 12 lbs. now!

I was about a week old here. My family loves me very very much. They tell me I am the cutest baby in the whole world. I think they're pretty cool too!
