It was a nice long weekend and I got to sleep in, but it was also Thanksgiving. Some people got out and window shopped. Some people may also have gone away, but I stayed home. Normally my auntie Debbie hosts Thanksgiving Dinner, even though we are supposed to take turns. So this year we actually did and Thanksgiving was hosted at our place.
There were lots of people who came. They were my Grandmother; who is my mom’s mom, my auntie Debbie who is my mom’s sister and her husband Gary who we also call “Sparky”, because of his red face and that he is loud. Also my two cousins were there. They are the son and daughter of my auntie Debbie and my uncle Gary/ Sparky. Their names are Drew and Karen. Karen is engaged and brought her fiancé Andrea who is from Italy. Drew brought his girlfriend Amber, which makes it good for a laugh because my dog’s name is also Amber, so when I call my dog Amber says “I’m right here”. My dad’s accountant was also there with his wife Patty. Then of course there was my Mom and Dad and me and Amber my dog and my grandfather who was also there in spirit. So it was a full house, full of twelve people and my house is not even that big.
We ate our Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday. It was a big one. We had to wait until 8:00 p.m. to eat because of the Canucks game against Denver, which started at 5:00 p.m. Even though they lost the game we had to wait until it was over.
In the U.S on our Thanksgiving they celebrate Columbus Day which is a whole other thing.
We celebrate Thanksgiving for lots of reasons. Joey from "Friends" said that it had to do with the pilgrims and the indians and I think that it's because of the pilgrims and the indians too. The indians were in Canada first and they had lots of celebrations so the pilgrims decided to have a celebration too. The reason they decided to have a celebration that became a holiday in October was because they were farmers and they wanted to celebrate and give thanks for the harvest.
Our family thanksgiving was also a bit of a birthday celebration, because of all my family being together. My family surprised me with some gifts. I got a brand new watch that shows the time, the date and the day. I like it very much. My mom’s mom; my grandmother, gave me a native art box that shows an eagle on it. It adds to my native art collection, which I’ve begun to start. My grandmother was in good spirits and she said that she’s looking for some pictures of me when I was born.
Overall it was a great day full of family, laughs, good food and good times.

My Birthday
My Birthday
Monday October 2,06 was my 18th birthday, “ A BIG MILESTONE”. I was born at 12:08am on a Sunday at Children’s Hospital.
I came to School and saw my buddies and one of my teachers and they wished me a happy birthday. It was also a special day for Susan because it was her wedding anniversary.
Around 7:30 it was a shock to see me Aunty and my Uncle, they were waiting for us at Dentry’s. I had a “CANUCK BURGER” and a few cokes, next year I will be having a “GUINNESS” because I will be hitting a bigger “MILESTONE” which is 19.
This Sunday I’ll be going to my Aunties house in Langley to celebrate my birthday, My Grandma my Daddy and Mommy my Aunty and my Uncle and Cousins will be there. First I’ll be opening gifts, then we’ll be having dinner.
I think 18 is going to be a great year because I’m graduating and I”ll be able to vote.

The Vancouver Giants Game
On Saturday September 23rd 2006 at 7:00pm, at the Pacific Coliseum,
The Vancouver Giants played the Chicago Winter Hawks, opening the Pre Season for the WHL / Western Hockey League. I thought it was a great game, I went to the game with my buddy and my Daddy.
When we got our seats they raised the banner to celebrate the 2005 06 Western Conference Champions,the Vancouver Giants. I thought it was a good way to open the season. Cody Franson scored the first goal Brett Festering scored the second goal Craig Bonner scored the third goal and Dustin Slade
was great in goal. The final score was 9-0 for the G- Men, and they played their hearts out at the Pacific Coliseum, I thought It was a great game, the best part was the “SHUT OUT”, which means Dustin Slade let no goals in the net. This was exciting for the Giants fans, but disappointing for the Winter Hawks fans. During the game because of the high score, Giants fans were chanting we want 10, we want 10, and I said we want 10, we want 20 we want 30 we want 40. When I said we want 30 I got the thumbs up from this guy in a Red Wings jersey. After the game going to the car the fans were excitied and in a good mood.It was a great game to open the season.
