Happy Halloween!

Halloween was lots of fun this year. I got to get all messy helping Mommy take all the seeds and stuff out of the pumpkin (Mommy forgot to take a picture though).
All the kids dressed up at playgroup and we had special orange cookies. I rode around on a toy car and everyone said there was a "tiger on the loose"! I was a friendly tiger though :-) I also went to visit my Great Grandma and she was having a wild party at her lodge! She was dressed up as a bird-of-paradise and she was sure beautiful!

Autumn Leaves are so much fun!

More photos from the weekend...

Here is a brief sampling of the many fantastic photos that Brendan & Nadia took this past weekend with their new camera. Aren't they talented?! Thanks guys :-)

Happy Birthday to Us!

I am 18 months old today and Mommy turned 30 yesterday. Daddy gave Mommy these beautiful "flow - flows" for her birthday and I love to smell them :-)

Birthdays are so much fun. I got to help Mommy open her beautiful present from "Gaga" yesterday. The ribbons were the best part. I wore them as a hat!


I am having such a fun time this weekend with my cousins Alex and Ben, and my Auntie Nadia and Uncle Brendan. They are visiting us from from Calgary. This morning we all went to a farm where we fed the animals, went on a hay ride and visited a Pumpkin Patch....

October Days

We are enjoying the crisp October days and have gone for lots of walks and short hikes lately when the weather is nice. Here are some of the highlights...

Mt. Arrowsmith Hike on Thanksgiving Monday

Neck Point Park
This is one of our favourite spots in Nanaimo, and Samuel seems to love it too :-)

Buttertubs Marsh
Getting spitting "lessons" from Daddy off the viewing platform. Mommy was disgusted at first but then realized that the new skill would come in handy when brushing my teeth!

Multitasking...

This is one of my favourite places to read a book lately...it's even more fun when I push with my feet and read at the same time :-)

Canine Cuddles...
