Happy Thanksgiving

Jason had duty on Thanksgiving so Ivan and I went to the boat for dinner. It was great, I didn't have to cook or do dishes. Does it get any better then that!?! I don't think so! The only bummer I realised later that night............no leftovers :(

Finally an update

Sorry it's been so long between updates. With the ever changing weather, Jason being gone, trying to finish Christmas presents and taking care of Ivan by myself I haven't been on the computer much. So get ready for a blog overload. Lets start with why you never leave a 2 year old in a room by themselves.

YAY IVAN!!!

I'm sure Jason and I are the only one's excited about this but I just had to post about it. IVAN POOPED IN THE POTTY!!!!!! He handled it very well and didn't get freaked out. Let's just hope this is a sign to come. I can't wait until we are done with diapers!

Where did Ivan go?

Ivan's new thing is hiding. He likes to hide in the closet. It scared me at first but the second I call his name he starts giggling and I know right where he is. It's so cute! I can't believe what a big boy his is becoming. I took these pictures the other day. I'll give you a hint to find Ivan, he's got red socks on :)

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. This year Ivan was a lion....rawr :) In a town close to us named Camden they close off a few streets to cars so we decided to go there for trick or treating. We went with some other families and Ivan had a blast. It was cold but seeing the excitement in his face made it all worth it. He still isn't talking much so he didn't say "trick or treat" but let me tell you he figured out the candy part really fast. After trick or treating we went back to our friends house and put all the kids to bed. It was really nice to spend time with our friends without having to get a babysitter. Now we have more candy then we know what to do with and it's time to take down the Halloween decorations. Before we know it it's going to be time for Christmas decorations.



He wouldn't sit still so his little wiskers were all over the place.

He didn't want me to pick him up. All he wanted was his candy :)

We were invited to a Halloween party so I decided to make something. I ended up making Halloweenies and Wizard Hats. It took awhile but it was alot of fun and they turned out great! Ivan had a great time playing in the flour and running around the house with an oven mitt on.

Bowling New England style

Good form :)

Jason's boat had a morale day so we all went bowling. We were quite surprised when we got there because they don't bowl like we do back home. Here they call it candlestick bowling and it's only done in the New England area. The pins look like candlesticks, the ball has no holes and fits in the palm of your hand. Ivan had alot of fun because he could actually pick up and hold the ball. A few of the balls he threw even knocked over a few pins. We all had alot of fun and can't wait to do it again.
