Fantasy Idol, Prepare Yourself!

Because once the Top 12 gets announced, the contest is on. I'm not sure who even won it last year, I have to go back and look! :)

Jack Is Almost Famous

Today Jack met one of the most popular DJs in Edmonton - Garner Andrews of Sonic 102.9 . . . we went in to drop off our entry for a contest and they rolled out the red carpet for Jackers . . . lots of loot (shirt, lanyard, stickers & autographs) as well as they let him in the studio to see the guts and the glory . . . when we got back in the truck it was just in time to hear Jack's name on the radio which was THE BIGGEST DEAL EVER!!!

Also note that he got a 'Fall Out Boy' haircut & color and has lost a tooth . . . now he is almost a local radio personality . . . growing up . . .

Happy 3rd Birthday Caiden!

So for Caiden's upcoming 3rd B-Day, we revamped his room so that it would suit his new found 3 year old status. We still have some work to do, and this camera really sucks, but I know people weren't sure what the hell we did to his room when we tried to explain it, so here ya go ;)

Things to note:

1) Paint - The helmet stripes were my idea, Rebeca wasn't sure what I was talking about but trusted me anyways and I think it turned out pretty cool.

2) Ceiling Fan - We now have light! Thanks to Papa for this one!

3) Big Boy Bed - Caiden is so funny, he absolutely LOVES this bed and smiles everytime he is in it. Bec and I are jealous, the bed is comfy and the comforter is VERY comfy!

Anyway, check out the pics.

Dear Caiden and Savannah

Thank you for coming to my house to play yesterday. I get so excited when you guys come over! Caiden I hope you are happier now that you are out of timeout. I was very concerned for your well being, but I saw you recovered nicely. Auntie Rebeca is not to be trifled with. I really had a good time when you chased me around the house on my bike. After you guys left I drank two glasses of juice. I was so wound up I could barely sleep.

Well my mom and dad say it's time for me to go so I'll text you later.

Love,
Gavin

Check Out Our Back Yard . . .

The Movies

Charlotte's Web - Jack is really excited to see this movie as we have been reading a chapter a night for the last little while. It is released in theatres on December 15th and we arrive on the 19th. I was wondering if anyone wanted to come and see the movie with us while we are in Huntley over Christmas. Just let me know . . . It was fun when we saw Pirates of the Caribbean II this past summer as a large group . . . Maybe we could do that again . . .
