Summer begins....
And so far we have been busy.....First we had a town yard sale....which the kids made their money by selling Lemonade.

Then off to the Circus...which it was a small circus, but they did have elephants...and it smelled like any other circus would smell.
Next we went to Kings Island.. He rode all the rides in Nick Jr. land....with daddy of course....
mommy is forbidden by the pregnant belly sign. He enjoyed them all except the roller coaster....we do have a picture of his terrified face, but it was snapped by the park and at this time i don't have a scanner....but I'll see what I can do because let me just tell you its PRICELESS. The picture of the car has some random kid....they had to ride two by two.... And finally we found a Backyardigan....and for those of you who don't know them they are BIG in toddler land...this would be Uniqua ( not sure on the spelling, close enough)

On April 7th we had a birthday party...and it was your typical birthday party...cake, pizza and presents....we had family and one friend in attendance. Miss Alayna was there as Liam's little friend.
Sorry its been "quite" awhile since I have last wrote...its been cold and dreary. And we have been inside the house for 4 months. Some of you know and some don't Liam is going to be a big brother.
We are due October 12Th, so we are excited about this news. Easter Sunday was April 8Th and we went to church and then filled our belly's at Grandma Vera's, YUM , YUM.......


Liam is talking A ton.... Some of it is Liam language...he also knows how to express his temper very well...We are cutting 2 year molars right now so eating is on the back burner ...some days I have no idea how he is gaining weight. But by the next week he is back to normal..then we repeat the cycle again. Speaking of Cycles....he is obsessed with motorcylces ....mommy is praying its just a phase, but as you see....I have my hands full. He also has a thing with wearing our shoes around the house...which I think looks adorable. Well folks until next time this cowboy is signing off.

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!
