Halloween

We had a pretty good halloween. Jayden went to daycare the friday before in his little skeleton onesie. And I made Halloween cookies for the kids. His little onesie also glowed in the dark so all the kids thought that was great.





We went to the mall - it was a riot. Completley packed with kids of all ages in all kinds of costumes. It was fun to watch everyone. The stores in the mall have candy. Beats being out in the cold or rain. Perfect for the young kids.

After the mall we went to Grandma Mary's. We all ended up staying the night there. Here are some picks of my little monkey!!!

My nephew

So, I remember back in the day this little annoying kid that would come in my room and wake me up - jump on my bed and say "auntie Shannon wake up...wake up!!!". Now, that little kid is NINETEEN!!!

Robby had a brain tumor when he was about two years old. The tumor was the size of a grapefruit and was located just behind his eyes - he is legally blind to this day and has lived his whole life seeing mostly shadows. He will never drive a car. Blindness does not hold Robby back - I think it made him stronger. He rides bikes, skate boards, ski's, golf's, rides dirtbikes - things that you would think blind kids wouldn't do - AND he's good at it. He went to Vancouver to the school of the blind and all the kids there looked up to him. He's been interviewed on their local tv news station and even been in the paper for his outstanding achievements. He graduated this past June and we are so very proud of him. I don't see him much since he's still in Vancouver - miss you nephew!!! xox

Here's some photos and a few videos of him messing around at the bike park October 2009
