Christmas Craftin'

Well, Grandma may have 2 Christmas Trees up and decorated in her house but Julle, Noah, Isaiah and I have been craftin' and here are some of our treasures!

Here is a close-up of Noah's snowman.....I glued everything on but he picked it out and helped cut and style....anyway, only 45 more days to go so get busy everyone!

Thomas The Train At GM Place

So, the Reid family and our family spent Sunday at Thomas The Train Saves The Day at GM Place. The kids were pretty excited and enjoyed the show. Isaiah couldn't wait to see Percy and was mesmerized by the whole show while Malcolm loved seeing Deisel 10. I don't think Isaiah has ever sat as still as he did to watch that show. To get there our family parked at Great Grandpa Pops and took the Sky-Train in. That was a hit with both my boys who have seen it but never been on it. They really enjoyed the ride in but the ride home (crammed in with several hundred others) wasn't as fun. I would have taken a picture but was afraid if I did I'd get mugged! Yikes! Anyway, here are some pictures from Thomas.

All the kiddies getting ready for the show....trust my son to be the goofy looking one to ruin the picture!

Here are all the trains we saw....for those of you not up-to-date with Thomas, Percy is green, Thomas is blue, and Deisel 10 is the black train.

Here's a close-up of Thomas.

Here is Sir Topamhat (the railroad conductor) and Deisel 10. Noah liked Sir Topamhat but kept telling me that he didn't sound like the Topamhat on his Leapster does. How do you explain that?

Finally here is a shot of Percy and the grumpy railcar he pulled. All around it was a great day, thanks Reid's for sharing it with us. And, thanks Dad's (Greg and Dobby) for missing Sunday Football! Ha!

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween this year we had an Elmo......it worked out perfect since one of Zay's current obsessions is Elmo (the other being Veggietales). I think he enjoyed trick-or-treating more than Noah. There were so many comments on his costume and from the picture you can see why!

Spiderman also showed up to do some trick-or-treating....and flexing for us. What a tough guy!

Finally a shot of the boys with all their pumpkins......the ones they selected from the Pumpkin Patch and the one Grandpa from Summerland grew for them. Thanks Grandpa!
