Remembering my Nan....

It is a year today that my Nan passed away... Hard day for us as a family but through our conversations and memories of her it makes us all strong....I love you and miss you nanny and I know you are with me and watching over me all the time....Thank you for showing me the meaning of commitment and love without that I would not have the beautiful family I have today...

Ryan meets the Backyardigans

Here is a few pictures from the Jack Frost Festival....Ryan had a blast meeting the Backyardigans and other characters and Tyler had a blast napping on daddies shoulder......

We had a great time... my friend Raquel and her husbad Billy and one of their daughters Gracie came over from Truro for the weekend so we got together last night and had a laugh. Haven't seen her in a couple of years so we had a lot to catch up on...I love when you get to see old friends!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Haven't been into the blogging lateily things have been hectic.... now that I have a crawling son I don't really stop much ... he is into everything. I got a chance to go home and see mom and dad in newfounland for a few weeks. We had a blast. I am so glad I got to see dad. I didn't get home when he had his accident and was so upset about that so getting home to see for myself that he is going to recover and be ok was a blessing. I don't think that I posted anything about what had happened but just before christmas my dad was in a accidient at work. He was electricuated and 7200 volts of electricity went through his arm. He was leaning up against a steel transformer and that was really the only thing that saved his life. It was a scary experience and it will take a long time for his to fully recover... but I just thank god every day that he is here and will have the full use of his arm. Yeah so the trip home was an adventure.... I decided that I would take the bus and the boat... wow what a trip not something that I would recommend to anyone with one kids let alone two ...lol. The bus ride was not to bad I left at 7:45 in the morning and got in North Sidney at 10:00 at night. But I stopped in Truro for a few hours so we got to visit with my Aunt Eve. The boat ride was very rocky during the night... I hate the boat soooo much I get so sick it is the worst mode of transportation ever and of course with my luck we CAN"T dock in the morning due to high winds...So I am stuck on the Caribou coasting along the shore from Rose Blanche to PAB for 5 hours... Ohh I was so happy to get inshore!!!! I was to the point that I was ready to jump and swim!!!!!... I will never take the boat in the winter time again this is the thrid time I got stuck in the middle so needless to say I flew back.....Other than that things are pretty busy...Lee is starting school at the end of the month and I only have month of mat leave left ...I got another positon that starts in march...It is a better postion and is guarenteed full time so I took it .....so I am speinding some quality time with my sons and enjoying the days I have off cause I guess I will be working steady now until I retire... I have been trying to get the boys out to play but the weather is not allowing that... you step outside for a minute and near turn to ice... but I did manage to get them out one day so I took advantage and got as many pictures as I could... here is a few......

Happy Birthday Lesley!!!!

Happy 27th Birthday Lesley...Hope you have a wonderful day!!! :)

I got the JOB!!!! and Tyler got his second TOOTH!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!! Its all in the title and I am very excited!!!!

First Tooth

Tyler got his first tooth on Saturday ...Laverne was rubbing his gums on Friday night and said that he was going to have a tooth by Saturday and she was right!!! And the strangest thing is that he got his top eye tooth which is the first tooth that Ryan got and that Lee got as well...So weird!

This weekend we did not do to much at all. We spend a lot of time out to Lees moms. His sister was admitted to the hospital last Wednesday. She was really sick. They did every test there is to do and nothing showed so doctors do not really know what is going on...We have all been really worried and not beening there and just having to wait for a phone call for an update makes everything so much harder but she was discharged yesterday and starting to feel a little better so that is a good thing but she has to go back in for more test this week.....Laverne and I tried to tackle the mall for xmas shopping on Saturday and we were mesmerized and left after 45 minutes.... I hate shopping in crowds I cannot think.. So we are going to try to get out on a weekday and tackle it some more... I can't believe christmas is so close and I feel like I have nothing done:(

Well it was quite the weekend weather wise....up to 15 degrees in the middle of November....we were out in just a t-shirt and I saw some people in shorts!!!! But we are back to the cold now and I think it is here to stay....

And for the week ahead........ Lots to do ...phone interview tomorrow and expecting to hear from that other job from last week... keeping my fingers crossed!!!! I will keep you all posted :) Keep your fingers crossed for me and keep Erica in your prayers!! Bye for Now:)

UPDATE

Well...I have not been blogging in forever..... I have been so busy with the kids and appointments, and this and that the past week that I have had no time for the computer.....Well I guess that there has been nothing real exciting going on anyway just the same ole same ole...Actually!!!!! I did get some exciting news.....My SISTER is coming up at xmas time. I am so excited.. her and her boyfriend Tawfieg is leaving on the 27th and coming up for New years and they might be bringing my dad too!!! Yeah ....We decided that Christmas was not going to be a good time for us to go home this year and I was kinda down over it ... but then she told me the news and I am sooo happy.

I have been doing a bit of job hunting and have had a few interviews this week......I don't want to go back to the job that I had and I only have four months maternity leave left so I thought it would be a good idea to get a head start and apply to any interesting position I see. I am waiting to hear back from a really interesting position that is perfect for me...it is partime leading in to full time next year so it would work out great!! I am hoping to get so everyone keep their fingers crossed for me please:)... I should hear back from the company next week ... I hate waiting!!!

And ....... other than that nothing new happening !!!

Another Milestone yet again!!!!!

Tyler rolled from his tummy to his back today!!!!!!.... So proud of my little man:)

Another Milestone!!!!!

Tyler finally rolls over all by himself!!!!! He been rolling over from his back to his front for a while now but needed our help to get the whole way over but he finally did it with no help on Saturday over to Aunt Evers and now you just cannot stop him.... lol..

So Hard Saying Good-bye

Ohh My.... so loney today...My mom is gone:( We left on Friday and went to Turo to my Aunt Eve's. That is were my grand mother was staying and her and mom were getting the bus back to North Sidney to get the ferry to Newfoundland on Saturday. We decided to go over on Friday evening so nan would get to spend a bit of time with me and the boys before they headed back......Well it was quite the trip over..... the boat from PEI to Nova Scotia was very rocky and I am not a boat person and ewwww it made me sick. So that was a hour and 15 minutes of torture and then we took the wrong exit to Aunt Eve's hahahah... we were lost for close to 45 minutes driving in circles and getting a little nervous but after getting directions from three different people, driving through the town with my high beam lights on and getting yelled at by people we found our way out .....I knew mom was a little nervous and I have to admit so was I but all I could do was laugh... I spent the 45 minutes busting out laughing and mom was trying to be serious and get us out of there but there was no way that she could keep a straight face either... so that was another laugh of our many we encounter on her trip....... Definatily never topped the Zellers incident but was a good one hey Mom. lol......

Saturday was the dreaded Good - bye day!!!! I hate them... I hate saying good bye ... especially to my mom...I am not only saying good bye to my mom I am saying good bye to my best friend and it sucks:( ...... We have such a great time together and I cherish every moment and I know that she has to go back I just hate seeing her go.....It takes me a few days to get use to her not beeing here and getting back to my normal routine. And Ryan he is lost without her and I am pretty sure Tyler found it different without her being here to....That is the hardest thing about living away from home.... no beening near the people you are so close to... I am forutnate that we have Lees mom and dad here!!!

I really wish that my dad had got the chance to come up too... I know how much he misses the boys but I am definatily getting home sometime this xmas before my maternity leave ends to spend some time with them.....

So Saturday Laverne came back from NL ..... we picked her up at the bus station in Turo and we left to drive back to PEI taking the bridge this time because it was windy and I could not handle that boat for another trip....It was a beautiful day/evening and it took us no time to get home....We stayed out to Lavernes for a bit and Ryan wanted to stay out all night so I finally got to sleep in later than 7:30 yesterday morning and it was great......Yesterday we did not do to much... went out to get Ryan and I took him swimming and he got his first Progress Report and did really well....I attached a picture of it and if it is not to clear here is what it says:

"Hey Ryan! You are really great at playing water-soccer!! It is really great to see that you are getting more comfortable in the water! Your bubble blowing is super! Keep up the good work!!

....he was so proud of that card... he was sitting in his car seat looking at it and reading it out to me... " You did good blowing bubbles and playing water soccer and you did really good Ryan.... and then he looks up and says "Thank you for taking me swimming Mommy" and I said ..."thank you for taking me swimming Ryan and he goes " No Problem Mommy" God he is soooo cute!!!!!

Bath Time.....

Got a tub ring for Tyler and he loves it!!! Got some nice shots if him enjoying his bath......














and here he is all clean and ready to go out shopping.....

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 :)
