Happy Halloween

Well the boys had a blast today!!!!! Last night we made some halloween cupcakes and carved our pumpkins.....Ryan went to daycare this morning and they had a halloween party and he was so excited to go. He brought his costume and some candy for his friends and we carved a pumpkin to bring as well..... He was so excited to come home with all his treats and couldn't wait to get out trick or treating....He dressed up as a firefighter and Tyler was a baby elephant......Lee stayed home and gave out the treats to the 8 people that we got while mom and I ( dressed as witches) brought them around here and then Lee and I took Ryan out to a few more places until he was tired and wanted to come home.....He had fun dumping out all his treats on the floor and jumping into them and then he had a feed on chips and bars and he is gone to bed now with a full belly and a big smile on his face ...Tyler didn't get to have any treats but was jumping around in his excosaucer and screaming and laughing... here is some pictures (as you can see there is not to many halloween pictures of Ryan ...He decided that he wanted to run away from the camera everytime I told his to say "trick or treat")....I did email some to everyone but for some reason my hotmail will never send any pictures I have to figure out what is going on there......Well I hope everyone had a great halloween and I guess the next event is xmas which is just around the corner :)

A day at the Park

Had a wonderful day today.....We got up this morning and Lee had to go out to his parents place, so me and mom and Ryan and Tyler spent the day out around Charlottetown....On our way to the flea market we seen a man selling pumpkins so we stopped to get a few.......

After that we went to the flea market for a look..... never seen to much there just got a few books and then we took ryan to subway for lunch.......

We went to a park to get some leaves for the witch bag that mom had brought up for the boys and we spent a few hours there playing in the leaves and taking pictures.. here are some of my favorites....

Tonight we are carving our pumpkins and filling up the halloween bags. Post these pictures tomorrow.

Happy 28th Shana

Happy Birthday Shana....Hope your 28th year is full of happiness and adventure...Wish we could celebrate your day together...Miss you lots!!!!

Fun and Exciting Week with Nanny (Mom)

We have been having such a great time!!!!! Haven't had time to update this week we have been busy every day. Mom and I have been reorganizing everything here ; basically doing a delayed "spring cleaning"...and having a ton of laughs along the way. We have been out for walks, out to the stores and doing all the things that I have missed doing with my mom so much....I am so glad that she decided to come up a surprise me. On Wednesday night the two of us went out to supper with my aunt Velda and cousin Penney and that was a great time... I was so gald to get to see them and also get to see Penny before she heads off to Australia for 5 months.....Ryan was really sick on Tuesday and I had to take him into the doctor and he was put on antibiotics which is definatily working; he seems to be feeling alot better.....They have been having a blast with nanny and we still have a week left!!!! This weekend we are getting ready for halloween .... we are going to go get leaves tomorrow so we can fill the witch bag that mom brought up and we are going to get some pumpkins to carve for tomorrow night so I will be posting the pictures of our halloween decor tomorrow....

The Man got another Raise

Lee got another raise on this weeks cheque!!!!! WOW ... I am so excited for him. He must really be impressing his boss with his work...he hasn't even completed his first block yet and he has already gotten two raises...Way to go Babe ...I am so proud of you!!!!! :)

Suprise of my Life

Well I was outsmarted and that does not usually happen.... Everytime my mom has planned a surprise for me it has been ruined cause I would always find out....Until last night when she knocked on my door at 12:00 and frightened the life out of me.......I am soooooo excited my mom is here!!!!!!!!!!!!

They had this planned for weeks and I honestily did not have the slightest clue.... Her and dad were coming up for two weeks but dad got called back to work so mom came with my aunt velda and cousin Penney. I was talking to her on the cell phone for the past 2 days thinking that her and dad was just out to the cabin and all along she was travelling... How did she fool me for the 6 hours boat ride? Said her cell was dead and she forgot the charger home and I believed her... and then when she got off the boat she called and said you'll never guess what Gene and Eveilyn were here and they have the same cell as us and I used their charger and I believed her..... funny how Gene and Eveilyn just so happened to bring there charger while visiting mom and dad.... duh??? And whenever I would call her she would put on a good show.... "What are you doing mom?" Oh me and dad are just here watching tv and falling asleep..."What did you do all day"? Oh i was out and the flowers around the cabin and dad is gone to get the moose that they hunted...........Oh my she got me and I am so glad she did.....

And if you can only see Ryan's face when he woke up this morning... He came out with me and Lee sometime last night so when Lee went to work mom went up and got in Ryans bed and when he got up he was like "good morning mommy.... time to get up" and I told him that there was a treat in his room...."A Treat"??? and he got off the bed and ran out to his room and mom yelled out "Trick or Treat" ...... mom said that he jumped back about five feet and his eyes nearily popped out on his cheek..... " Nanny" he yelled "Your here" and he has not left her side since then.

I am so happy mom is here for the next two weeks ... I have been missing her so much lately and really wanted her and dad to see the boys...maternal instinct I guess.... its too bad poppy couldn't come but he said if he can work out some way around the work he will be up... so lets keep our fingers crossed.....

Swimming Lessons with my Daddy

Ryan had lesson 2 of swimming this afternoon and he had a great time splashing around with Daddy..... I managed to get a few pictures in before the lifeguard told me to put the camera away... no pics during lessons ....oops lol.....

Happy Birthday Aunt Denise... Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!

HAPPY BITRHDAY PATTY!!!!! Have a good one... wish I was home to celebrate with you!

Growing UP.......

Tyler is now drinking out of a sippy cup and he loves it... mostily drinking water but will never turn down a little juice.......

Busy Busy week.......

Well its been a busy few days and I have honestily been to sick to update... ummm lets see what have we been up to ..... Me and Lee have been sick with the flu the past few days and it seems that Ryan has caught it again ..Tyler is still a bit congested but he is getting better... he was in to get his 6 months needles today and he is doing really well.. He is 20 lbs ( boxer) and growing like a weed; everything is growing in proportion and he is an extremeily heathily little man.

Well I cleaned the fish tank the other day and poor nemo didn't make it; not sure what happened I guess I put the water a little to warm for the poor feller but when I looked at him he was a floating... So when Lee gets home I tell him that the fish is dead and and I think that I may have killed him when I changed his water, Ryan overhears us talking and runs out and says "let me see mommy" "let me see the fishy" and I explain that the fishy isn't swimming anymore and that he is gone to fishy heaven with the other fishys and he walks away with a pouty little mouth and so sad and says ..."ohhh my fishy is gone away to fishy heaven", and then he turns around and looks at me and changes his tone and says....." and its all your fault mommy"....Oh my god if you could have heard him..... I had to try to keep a straight face until he walked away ...... lol... So later on we had our "Fish Funeral" around the throne and said our good byes to Nemo and then he had to call Nanny and Poppy martin and tell them all about the fish incident and then Nanny gets it in his head that mommy will have to get him another one... so I guess we are back to the fish store this weekend......

Lily is the name that Ryan picked out for the cat... I have been asking him what the kittys name is going to be over the past few days and he says "cat" .. and I explain that yes it is a cat but she needs a name like Ryan has a name.. he is a boy but his name is ryan... tyler is a boy but his name is tyler and so on........So we were sitting on the couch and he finally comes over and says Lily mommy she is Lily... don't know where he heard it or if that is even what he was trying to say but that is what we are sticking with and I like it!!!!

Ryan takes off to daycare now without a hitch..... he knows that he is just going for the day and that I will be back to get him in the afternoon and he has no problem with it any more, which is a huge relief... he seems to enjoy hisself there and he is always bringing home some beautiful crafts and colouring sheets that I have stuck all over the fridge...

We have been decorating for halloween but are trying to put off the pumpkin carving until the weekend seeing how the one that Lee carved for them went to mush in the matter of 4 or 5 days, Ryan is going out as a fire cheif and Tyler is either going to be an elephant or a Frog we have to try them on a see which one fits the best..

We said good bye to Nanny Laverne this morning.. we dropped her off at the bus station as she is off to the rock for a few weeks.... wish I was going with her but with the plans to go home later and xmas just around the corner it is not in the budget.. but we are going to go down and pick her up in North Syndey in a few weeks so she does not have to suffer on the bus both ways... so enjoy you trip nanny and relax you deserve a vacation.. we will miss you and see you in a few weeks....

And finally speaking of going home.... we may have a change in plans for our holidays... we may actually wait and go home in February just before Lee goes to school to do his block. We are thinking that we would have more time to relax and the trip would not be so rushed. We would be able to take more time to spend down there and enjoy it.. go skidooing, go out to my parents cabin and get more than 2 days down in Rocky Harbour/Norris Point with Lees family, and most importantly Nanny and Poppy Martin will have more time with the boys without all the christmas rush......so we are still debating what to do but I will keep all you newfs at home posted.

New Kitty

We adopted a kitten yesterday ... Never gave her a name yet but she is 5 weeks old and a hand raised kitten... her mother was killed by a car when she was 3 weeks old and her and her two brothers where found in a ditch and was there with no food for approximatily 5 days. The women that took the litter in and took care of them until now is part of the Cat action team which cares for cats that have been abandonded and/or lost. She said that this kitten was in rough shape when she first got there but came around in no time.... She is a very gentle kitty and is already in love with Ryan. She purrs and gets up in his arms and she gets in the bottom of the excosaucer and rubs on Tylers legs. Here is pic of her.... kinda blury so I will post some more later.....

Ryan's new "face"

Don't know where he picked this up but he hasn't stop using it... he uses it when he is mad, sad and especially when he knows he did wrong and is in some big trouble..... This is not the "real" face I just asked him to pose with it for the picture so it looks a little more pitiful than this in a real situation.

We went to his first day of swimming yesterday and he fell asleep while we were driving to the pool and therefore having been woken up he was CONTRARY ... so the first 20 minutes of swimming was this face and "No"..... "I don't want to"....."I don't want to swim mommy", while all the other kids were splishing and splashing and having the time of their lives.... Finally he came around and had a whole lot of fun for the last 10 minutes and told nanny nicolle that he was definaltiy going back to the great big bath tub next week.....

My Little Artist

Ryan has been really interested in colouring and drawing lateily and today we are making some stuff to send down to nanny and poppy so I thought I would share his little talent with everyone else tooo..... Here is a few of his peices...lol

Mr Sun ...........

Ryans version of Poppys Truck..........

This peice is the best yet ... he calls it "MOMMY". I don't know about you but I think that portrait is hot... I would pay some big bucks to have that on my wall......

The artist himself..... must be a real masterpeice he is drawing there......I was told not to talk to him that he was Busssssy.....hahahah.

Countdown for our trip home to Newfieland

We decided that we are going to go home again at christmas time this year but we are not going to leave until xmas day.....We are going to have our own little Christmas here and then catch the night crossing to get home on boxing day...Still two months away but I am getting excited to see my mom and dad and Renee and all of our fam.... noone from Lees family has gotten to see Tyler yet except Lees Aunt Michelle and that was only for a few minutes at Walmart when I was home this summer...So I am happy to be bringing the boys home to see them ......

I CAN DO IT

Here is some pictures of Tyler sitting up.. He is doing really good with it doesn't have any support at all....Still use the pillows just in case .. he would get a good bump on the ceramic tile.

Boardwalk.....

We went out for a walk today and stopped by the little boardwalk down the road from us and I got some nice pics of the boys...... here they are!!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

HAPPY THANKGIVING TO EVERYONE...... hope you are all enjoying a yummy thanksgiving dinner. Well this was a beautiful weekend, it was just like a summer here it was nice and warm and sunny all weekend especially yesterday.. Lee went duck hunting on Saturday morning and he had a great time. He went with a guy from work... they left at 5:30 in the morning and stayed out until lunch time and he didn't come home with a duck but had a pumpkin for the boys and a head of broccoli and japlapeno peppers. After that trip he was pretty tired so I went on out to the mall with the boys and he had a nap. Man were the malls BUSY.... It was just like christmas shopping out there on Saturday.. there was nowhere to park and the streets were lined up with cars.... Sooo I did not stay out at that for long. It was just to hard lugging the both of them for the other end of the parking lot with not a cart in site.....So I get home and Lee was up and gone trying to look for me in the madness so I figured the best plan would be to stay home and wait for him to come back, which I did. So that night we went out to Lee's moms and Lee went back for another nap and Laverne and I got the movie Capote which both of us enjoyed alot .. it was a really good movie and what an actor that Philip Seymour Hoffman was; he did an excellent job acting Truman Capote.....

On Sunday Laverne had to work and she had quite a few rooms so we went out at 12:30 to start the turkey supper. It was 17 degrees outside and a beautiful day. I had the boys all dressed up for thanksgiving and of course forgot my camera home... so no thanksgiving pictures...... but it sure was a good turkey supper topped with apple pie and ice cream .... We are so thankful that we are able to have a supper like that and I was ready to explode by the time I was finished. We relaxed out there a little and called poppy Jim to wish him a happy thanksgiving and then we came on home. Mom and dad were out to St. Johns to visit auntie Renee and she has a computer there so I put the boys on the webcam for them and they certainly enjoyed that ... I miss them so much I can't wait to see them at christmas.. I wish that they were able to see the boys more often..... with any luck they will soon if we can ever move back home......

Last night Ryan was bugging to use the pumpkin carving kit that we bought, so Lee carved the little pumpkin that he got on Saturday and I did manage to get some pictures of that.... he did a good job with the pumpkin and Ryan and Tyler enjoyed watching him carve it and seeing the end result.......

So that was basically our weekend; Lee is back to work today and I am thinking about taking the kids out to the park or somewhere because its sunny and 20 degrees here today and I don't think that we are going to see much more of that.
