Dreams do come true!!!

I know these postings are a little scattered these days but hey we're a house of two kids now so I leave that as our excuse. :)

We've had a great few weeks. Here's our recap...

Last Saturday, we went into Vancouver aboard the SkyTrain, Liam's Life Dream up to this point in his 2 years and 2 months of life, and met up with friends of ours from Edmonton and Vancouver (Mel, her son Nate, Nancy, Samantha and her two kids Morgan and Griffin). We had a great time eating some pizza and then off to walk around Robson (more my want not anyone else's). It was great to see Mel as our kids are only a few weeks apart and Nate's definitely a cutie!! We spent time with Cam and Carmen as well which made Liam's day and then headed home on the SkyTrain. All in all great day.

We know we're cute!!

Thursday, Liam went on his first field trip. We went with the Family Place Resource Center to the Greendale Farm where we were treated to a tractor ride, picked out pumpkins, went to a petting zoo, drank hot chocolate and even had a story and this was all done by 11:30 am. haha
We fulfilled Liam's 2nd dream of riding on a tractor and we even got on tv. How did they know I wanted to be interviewed other than the fact I tried to get my kids into every shot that the camera went. hahaha true story.

hmm that hot chocolate tastes good!!

Finally, on Friday my neighbour Andy, who is a on call firefighter, fullfilled dream #3 of visiting the Firehall. It was awesome to go in there and get a personal tour of the hall and get to ride in all the fire engines. Needless to say Liam loves our neighbour and occasionally calls him dad since we spend so much time next door.

I want to be a firefighter when I grow up!

That's all folks!!

The Great Pumpkin Patch and other fantastic October moments

All the family has now left and we are on our own. Yikes! The last few days have been alittle stressful because Matt is not only working office hours he is also working in Emerg. so he works evenings. Thought it was going to be crazy but really it has been quite nice especially when both boys cooperate...ie Liam plays by himself as I feed Torr or Torr decides that he is simply going to watch Liam play instead of fussing about. :) Kidding Torr is not a fusser at all, he actually is quite patient allowing me to deal with Liam even when he is extremely hungry...I take that as a good character trait...patience. He is now 4 weeks old and heading in for a doctor's appt. next week so I'll give you his official weight then but he no longer a skinny boy he's really fattened up and even has the double chin now. :)

Good old squishy face.

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner as Hugh and Lynda were still here and we were joined by Cam, Carmen, Andy, Brendalyn, Scott and Jess. Full house but that's what family holidays are all about!!

Maybe this leaf will help me fly!

Liam was so happy to receive a Bubble Lawnmower from our neighbours for his birthday. He has tried to get Matt to go out everyday to mow the lawn but the perfect opportunity finally came. Except he wanted to mow towards Matt as Matt was actually mowing the lawn making the situation quite danger. So Matt turned the mower off and raced Liam's mower around the front lawn then sprinted away to finish patches of lawn. Needless to say a lawn that would take 5 minutes to do turned into 30! haha

Hurry up will yeah Dad!!

My lawnmower's better than yours!

Finally as we get ready for Halloween we did a trip to the Wisbey Farm Pumpkin Patch to pick out some pumpkins. I'd never been to a patch before so it was pretty neat to see ho pumpkins are actually grown. Liam was delighted to go there and we even weighed him on the pumpkin scale...35 lbs! Yikes he's a big boy.
