Christmas is here!!
Let's just say that this is the closest Liam came to sitting by Santa....He liked him..as long as he didn't have to go near him!
I forgot my camera over Thanksgiving just had my video camera...oops..at least I have footage! Just not for the public blog! We had a wonderful Holiday MONTH....Liam sorta of got the hang of presents, but still needed help opening them.




Here he is seeing a present before him! Lets just say he Loves THOMAS the TRAIN...and of course tractors!!





He wore this towel on his head for the first part of the evening! He loved it! And then he got a bulldozer...lets hope he can operate it just like Papa Steve!And once again this is the only snapshot I got at my mom and dads house because I was using moms new video camera that I got her...testing it of course! This is Liam and Ryleigh watching Polar Express...another one of his favorites...why??? The TRAIN is the star!!

Daddy got Liam a "Cars" tent...which he was overly joyous about! He now sits in it all the time!! And of course our dog got her annual bone!! Which she was Joyous about!! Well I will try my
best to keep my camera at my side...Liam is going to be 2 years old in 4 months...I can't believe it...

We have reached 18 months! I cannot believe it....the summer has gone by so quickly and now we are doing fall festivals...Soon and I mean Soon it will be Christmas!
Here is Liam and his cousin Ryleigh enjoying rides at the Farmer's Fair....He loved them...I have fear that he will enjoy all the dare devil rides like his mama and I will now understand why my mother had a fit when I rode every roller coaster they made!!!

We took him to a fall festival on Thursday the 26th of October and he really took everything in....painted pumpkins...rode a pony...and danced during the little skit they put on...he's growing so fast! Everyday he adds a word or two and now he is starting to put them together....SOME not full sentences or anything...I don't want you all to think I have a genius or anything!
See you all soon....next update will probably be around Thanksgiving!!

Well Summer is almost over...boo-hoo!! Liam has enjoyed himself with all the new things he is discovering...Bugs, friends, and WATER!! He is quite the swimmer! He loves to be around water. If you have the Water hose watch out! He'll hunt you down to have a squirt! This is at the community pool...

Some of you may have heard of the cartoon Backyardigans.....We just discovered it. I don't know which one of us likes it more....Me or him! Its very, very cute!!

Oh! The Sprinkler......Did I say how much he loves water????

And of course we all

remember the good ole' water out of the water hose!

This is Logan....Some of you who talk to me on a regular basis know his name...Well here is Liam's buddy. We are thrilled to have a buddy up the street and mom is too!! They are quite the pair. Logan is 2. He just had a birthday which was tons of fun.

Sorry it took me a bit, Carey! tee, hee...I will try to be a better blogger....Try saying that 3 times fast!!!
see you all soon!

GREETINGS!

Well after many thoughts, I have now joined the BLOG! The Haley family has made me so envious of their published moments in time that I too, thought I must be a part of this new wave of "keeping in touch". Since we all live in different states now, boo-hoo....
Lets start with April: Liam turned 1! I had a hard time with it...birthday party went well as you see.
May: Liam took his first plane ride! We went to St.Lois for 8hrs....flying standby with mommy, that can cause long, long, long delays! But we made the best of it! Took the metrolink from the airport and cruised downtown to the arch and downtown.
Then after a fun-filled day we reach OKLAHOMA!
We visited Mist, Scott and little Evangaline Brie!
What a little cutie...although we couldn't stay long, it was well worth the trip..once again stand-by passengers take the beatin' when it comes to travelin' for free! Liam and daddy got to know the airports really well since that was where most of our time was spent, BUT all in all he did very well and so did CHRIS...
Liam and Evi watching the tube...she's such a cutie!

Then the first of JUNE came and I turned 30!!!!!! I'm still shedding tears....
We went to Gatlinburg, TN and had a swell time. Liam thought he was big stuff- he was out till 10:30pm!! and walking around the nightlife.....something he rarely sees!

July-Daddy went fishing in ELY, MN...18hrs away...Why? I have no idea....18hrs driving to catch a fish? I'm still scratching my head. Liam and I went to Rising Sun for 10 day where he was entered into a baby contest and WON! How proud am I- his first pagent!! tee,hee.

Well folks that pretty much brings you up to speed on our summer, now that I am officially in the blog crowd I will do my best to keep up! Have a safe summer! Chris, Maria and Liam!
