Liam and his bike

The day after Liam's birthday he couldn't wait to ride his bike. It was a little chilly out but we went ahead and let him ride it. We are still working on the pedaling thing but the bike is cool because it has a steering handle for the parents. He'll get the hang of it eventually!

Here I go!

When all else fails..walk your bike! LOL

Finally updating again!

Sorry for the bad blogging!

So, I left off with Liam's big birthday party but we still had to do something on his actual birthday. So we did out traditional dinner out at the birthday person's favorite restaurant (Liam's is Golden Corral) and then cake (we did cupcakes) at home. Then of course it's present time! Here are some pics from Liam's birthday day celebration.

I'm two!

Liam's birthday party

We celebrated Liam's 2nd birthday on Jan 4th since Daddy was leaving for a month. We had his party at an indoor play place called Dynamoze. They had playhouses, train tables, blow up jump houses, mini roller coasters and all sorts of fun things! Kids and adults had a blast! The 2 hours went by so fast!

Liam and Daddy rocking it out before his party!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was as great as always! We celebrated with my parents on Christmas Eve. This year was even more special because Grammy was here visiting from Florida! We had our nice dinner at Ruth's Chris steakhouse, then we came home and got into our comfy jammies and opened presents! We were all spoiled as usual!
I didn't get any pics of us opening at Mom and Dad's but I did get pics of our Christmas on Christmas morning.
Liam put cookies out for santa before he went to bed and then the next morning Liam saw santa had brought him some presents!

Liam was really into opening presents this year!


yay! playdoh!


Oh yeah baby! CARS!!! Liam's favorite!


Liam's big present from santa..a train table! He got a train set and roadway set! He loves it!

Making cookies

I decided that Liam and I would make sugar cookies to give to his teachers at school. He did a great job and we had fun!

Pop Pop's bday,stickers and posing for Christmas card pic!

At the end of Nov we celebrated Pop Pop's birthday...notice the big yankee candle on top of the brownies!? LOL Mom didn't have any candles so we had to improvise!


Liam loves stickers. He doesn't stick them on anything but himself! LOL



It was time to do the Christmas card pic. Liam was pretty cooperative. He's such a ham sometimes!

This is the one we chose:


My handsome little guy!

Thanksgiving

Mike and I had four days off around Thanksgiving so we decided to spend it up in Sulphur Srings with his Mom. Mike hadn't spent a holiday in Sulphur Springs since he was in high school! We had a good time. Gram's new house has a HUGE front yard with big oak trees that were dropping their leaves. Liam had a blast playing in the leaves! About as close to playing in snow as he's ever been! LOL

I see you!


so much yard to run in!


Having fun!


Cutie pie!


Where did Uncle Shane go? Liam had fun burying Uncle Shane and Daddy in leaves. They would then jump up and scare him! He loved it!


Where did Daddy go?
