Thanksgiving

Liam's second Thanksgiving did not go quite as smoothly as his first, but I guess what do I expect when I have a very busy 14 month old. My Thanksgiving started the night before as I had to work until Thanksgiving morning until 7AM. Paul watched Liam in the mornnig then by 12:45Pm we were running around getting ready. By 2:15PM we were headed off too Grandma and Grandpa Harris'. Liam ran around and played with cousins and aunt's enjoying much of the food. We had a traditional turkey feast with many from my side of the family. By 5:15PM we were finishing up dessert and now heading off to the Dunn side of the family. We had feast number 2 at Paul's brothers house in Mesa. Me and Liam did not eat at this feast because we were still full from my side of the family, where as Paul had saved up for this dinner with his family. This is where Liam's day really started to get rough. Liam loved the huge backyard he got to run around in. But once it got dark and cold we brought him inside and he was so clingy and got quite a few bumps to the head, by falling and running into things. He always has a hard time when our day is too long. But I think overall he had a fun day, and of course it was wondeful too see both sides of the family.

Just for kicks

Halloween 2011

This was Liam's second Halloween, and let's just say last year was alot easier. Liam did not nap well that day and it really showed that night. Also our luittle boy is quite a runner and was very facinated with the road. But he did manage to walk next to us up to a few houses to get some candy. He was afraid to grab the candy out of the bowls, but finally at the last house grabbed a piece of candy out. Most of the time Paul or my sister carried him, since his little legs would certyainly get tired trying to keep up with all of us adults. Liam loved to wear his Lion costume when I first got it for him but when we put it on that night was not to happy. But once it was on he was alright again. Hopefully next year he will know a little bit more about what is going on with all this craziness that is halloween night.

October begins

Back at the beginning of October we went to Shneph farm, if that is how you spell it. We went with quite a few people from my family, including many of my siblings, their kids and my parents. Liam really enjoyed the place. He got to ride on some pedal cars with me and Paul, which was his favorite then he got to go on this flying ride, which was like the dumbo ride at Disneyland. We ended the night with a hay ride, which it was really cold that night so Liam had kinda had it by that point, but up till then was so good. So glad we were able to take him and start off the fall season! I love this time of year.

Utah

So I have not blogged since Liam's birthday, back in September. I am so bad it is November. Well I wanted to blog about our vacation to Utah back in August. It took a while ot get some pictures forwarded to me, so that was the initial delay but then I just got lazy. At the end of August Paul, Liam and I went on our first family vacation since we had Liam. We flew on a plane to Salt Lake City to meet paul's brother and sister in law to spend 5 days with them at their home. We got alot of fun relaxation time, and got to spend quality time with family we never get to see. I also got to see one of my best friends who lives up there, and she was so great to watch Liam for us so I could do a session at the Salt Lake temple for the first time. It was so amazing. I was so glad I got the chance to do it. Me and LIam took alot of walks while we were there. Of course it was the hottest week Utah had all summer. But we took 95 to 100 over 115 any day! The morning time was so ice outside, Liam loved all the grass. We went to Thanksgiving point and had fun at a petting zoo. Liam's favorite animal was the little chickies. You can totally tell by the huge smile on his face. So glad we were able to get away for a little bit.
