Happy St. Patrick’s Day

March 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Happy St. Patrick’s Day + cheers to Saint Patrick himself and to my Great-Grandmother McCabe who was born in Ireland and moved to the States when she was a teenager and passed long before I was born. Also thanks to Uncle Colin and Aunt Kristin for the green shirt I am wearing in this pic. It’s a vintage looking Green Bay Packers / Lambeau Field t-shirt that they bought when they were at Brett Favre’s last game.

EXCLUSIVE: Busted Up II: All Stitched Up

February 24th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in ER, Rider, hospital, stitches

It’s true, I had another incident and this one took me straight to the ER. I’m not going to say much except that involved a bookcase. It was my first time to the hospital since I was born and last thing I remember was staring at my big right toe which was hooked up to some device taking my vital signs, then the doc putting some funny stuff up my nose and then later the doctor saying something about me laughing in the face of pain. Some paparazzi pics below — they are low res and taken from camera phone.





Road Trip - Disney World - 2008

February 11th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Made my first trip to Disney World this past January. Was tons of fun. In addition to me, Mom and Dad going — Mimi and Poppi, Uncle Colin, Aunt Kristin, Aunt Eileen, Uncle Alan and my cousins Olivia, Nathan, Hamilton, Fletcher and Barrett made the trip too. One of the reasons for going was that Mom, Aunt Eileen and Uncle Alan ran the Disney Half Marathon and Uncle Colin, Aunt Kristin (and some friends of theirs) ran the Disney Marathon. Dad and I watched the races and cheered everyone on. I was so excited for Mom as I know she was training on the weekends leading up to the race. After the races where over we spent all day and night at the parks.  We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios and EPCOT. Lots of walking (and eating) and I was so happy that I got to spend lots of time w/ Mimi and Poppi and my cousins going on all the rides. I’m too small for most of the rides but I did get to go on Pirates of the Caribbean (twice), It’s a Small World, Killimanjaro Safari Ride, and Spaceship Earth and more. Some quick pics below.

Christmas - 2007

January 29th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I didn’t even ask for anything — as I am still trying to figure out how this Christmas thing works –but someone named Santa Claus totally hooked me up with the coolest gifts ever. Some of the gifts I received included a 1948 Limited Edition Indian Motorcycle, a skateboard, a fire truck, some cool clothes, and lots more. Some pics below including me + my new ride.

After leaving Santa Barbara and traveling along the Pacific Coast Highway we made it to our next destination - Hermosa Beach. Wow — LOVED Hermosa Beach. We stayed at a super nice hotel called the Beach House which was right on the water + much like our stay in SB - we did lots of walking, shopping, eating, sleeping and traveled through some neighboring towns including Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Venice Beach and Hollywood + Beverly Hills area of LA. Some pics while in HB below. Enjoy!

Santa Barbara, California — December 8 - 11, 2007

SB is absolutely amazing. Our hotel was 2 blocks from the Ocean (near the SB Marina and Stearns Wharf), a few blocks away from State Street and 15 minutes away from Santa Ynez Mountains. We did lots of walking, shopping, eating, sleeping, driving and even went to the zoo. Below are some pics while in SB.

The rumors are true.. but all I’m reporting is that I was at school and it involved an incident with a chair. TMZ.com offered lots of money for these pics - especially since I took them myself - but I’m holding out because I wanted the pics to be exclusive to my readers.
