See, I can stand up and put my arms up in the air!

Jagger-James and Grandpa on skates

To encourage Jagger-James to skate, Grandpa challenges him to a race. Being quite competitve, Jagger starts moving and Grandpa "just can't quite catch up"!

Decoa, Jace, and her cake

Decoa and her men

Decoa's birthday-Nov 19

Jagger helped me decorate the cake - licking the beaters is a very important job.

Girls night out

To celebrate our girls birthdays, Val took them to see Colm Wilkinson at the Kelowna Community Theatre, Sunday night. The guys stayed home. CW is a great entertainer. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, he now makes his home in Toronto. He was a story-teller and a joker, often interacting with the crowd. He sang, Music of the Night from Phantom, some rock'roll, some jazz, some Leonard Cohen, the Peace Song, Bring Him Home from Les Miserables and more. Great back-up orchestra with him, too. We were impressed to have someone of his calibre here in Kelowna, 20 minutes from home.' We were drinking 'mocktails', honestly!!

The Dinosaur cake

Jace wasn't too sure he wanted his photo taken with the cake - he would rather attack it! The green stuff he is eating was cake.

Jace's birthday bash

Jace is One Year Old

Nov 1, he was almost a Halloween baby. We decided to make him an Oiler fan.
