Liam & Seamus

Seamus has moved to Texas. We are so blessed that Liam gets to share his time with more family. Not to mention Seamus loves teaching Liam all the things I don't want him to know. Seamus is really great with Liam. Liam just loves him. Liam is not able to say Seamus so we call him "Aboo" or "Boo". It depends on if Liam is feeling lazy with his speech that day. It is super cute. 

I am sure they are watching something on gold or silver here. 


Playing trains. Both Liam and Seamus love to rearrange the table for track possibilities. 

Snow Day Feb. 2011

So on February 4, 2011, San Antonio got snow. Now it was not a lot of snow but it was enough to shut down the city. I was super excited to have this slight dusting of snow. Liam was not a fan of the wetness of snow. He also did not like the cold. 


Here he is showing me the cold wet snow he touched. 

Our snow

Liam and Pete on the snow day! 



Liam had to take the boat outside! 

We started training him young for chores. 

Liam loves to sweep anything. By anything... I mean anything, even the cat! 

Christmas

So this year was a bit different for us. We had Christmas on the cruise. We did redo the lights on the house and other Christmas things. Here are a few pictures from Christmas time! 


Our lights on the the house.

This is Liam's new car from the Bundy family! This car gets lots of love! 

We had breakfast with Santa. Liam was not a hugh fan of Santa but he did okay!

He just loved his Noah's Ark! 




Rock & Roll Marathon

In October, Chris and 2 other 174rd guys ran the Rock and Roll marathon for breast cancer. They were sponsored by the 173rd and their home state chapters. It was an early morning for everyone but we all had a great time! 


The boys before hand! 

One of the guys form Chris' work also joined the running!

The Train Table

Liam received a train table for Christmas. My parents decided to to give it to him before Christmas sine we would be on the cruise ship. Cathy and I tried to get it all put together before Liam woke from his nap. This plan failed before it even started.  Liam must have heard train table and woke super early that day. After many issues with direction, boxes, tears form Liam, and lots of help from Troy ( our neighbor), we finished the train table 3 hours later!  



Liam playing on the table before it was built

Tears of sadness because we would not let him play on the train pieces

Major meltdown because the table was not ready for him. 


Already hoarding the trains

The many days of Halloween!!!

This is a very late post. I thought I needed to get it dome before Thanksgiving and I got more behind. 

Halloween if a busy week for us. We have lots of activities for Liam. We start the week off with our annual Life Group social with our Church families. Then we move on to our playgroup with all the kids and moms. Following playgroup, we have Trunk or Treat! Last but not least is Halloween!! 

Life Group
This year was lots of fun. We had some great chili hot dogs and then lots of dessert and candy. We had some wonderful games for the kids outside to play. Liam was a little young for the games but he enjoyed being outside.

We were getting ready for a group picture and Liam would not give up his chicken nugget!

Best group shot! The husbands hate this every year! 

Liam posing! 

Chris with Liam and Lachlan! 


Big throw!!! 


I just love this picture! 

Play group
Playgroup was great this year! Lauren hosted it so Liam and I did not have far to go! The kids did great until picture time. We had some major melt downs about taking pictures! But all in all it was a great time. 

Best shot! 

Liam lost his pants since it was so hot outside! 

Liam and Isaiah! 

Trunk or Treat
This year Chris and I did a car for trunk or treat! It was very last minute so it was not the greatest but it served it's purpose. We were just happy to help. This was the first year Liam could really enjoy Trunk or treat! He didn't really care about the candy but he really just wanted to put things in his bucket! 

Liam and Daddy! 

Play a game for some candy!

Halloween

Finally Halloween!!! We just went up and down our block with the Gibbins' boys! We also had Cathy's nieces with us. It wan't to hot this year. We thought the younger boys might like to ride in the stroller but after a few houses they wanted out! 

Liam and Lachlan!

All the kids! 

Last shots, since after this the boys got out and were off!!
