Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful sunny warm Thanksgiving weekend we had! Temp was about 22-27 degrees all weekend! We had a great time visiting with my family on Saturday and with Nana and Nanu today!

Hay Ride at the Rutka Farm

We took a trip out to the Rutka Farm one last time before they move for a bbq today and Jackson got to go on a hay ride which he loved! Just the excitement of being up on the wagon when it's moving is something Jackson just loves.

Spencer also went on the wagon ride, don't think he really cared if he was on it or not but it was still fun taking him.

Sad that this was our last trip out to the farm before the Rutka's move!

Spencer rolled today!

What another great day we had! The weather was awesome again today so we headed down to Auntie Laura's for a trip to the park!

Jackson-hold hands
Jackson-I'm hungry

Spencer rolled over today! Wow this little boy is so amazing! I can't believe how quick he is growing! Already rolling over on me! What's next!?

Well here I go again it's been I bit since I last filled you all in on what's been going on in our lives! I definitely need to work on writing our days down!

It has been a blast of a summer, we've been to festivals, and parades and cottages and swimming pools and the list goes on and on.

It's been great watching Jackson grow another day older, listening to him speak full sentences now and question things and also tell you about things. I just cannot believe the leaps and bounds he's made. It's happy but sad moment. Happy he's growing up but sad at the same time!

Today was a great day for the 3 of us. I decided to take the kids to the OEYC at Limeridge and what a great walk we had there. We stopped by the garden over in the townhouse complex around the corner from the house and Jackson pointed out all the bees and flowers and was telling me about the colours and wanting me to smell them. We followed a grasshopper around for a minute or two watching in hop and fly around it was awesome to watch Jackson get so excited over it all!

Tonight we had Dylan and Raina over to play and again another great moment of watching Jackson interact with the kids. He turns into such a little person, asking questions, pointing things out to them. I really enjoy watching him interact with other children now! I mean we still have the melt downs if they have his toy but he actually wants to play with them now which is good to see!

As for Spencer, he is so amazing what a great baby! I couldn't ask for anything better (well maybe that 3rd child that I would love to have) he so laid back and easy going! I hope he keeps that tempermant it would really make me happy! Well he's decided it about time he learnt to roll over! Which he is almost there once he figures out how to get that arm out from under him he'll be off to the races!

Bye my toys

As we are leaving the house yesterday, Jackson turns to his toys and says bye my toys. It was such a cute thing to see! He's putting together sentences now like crazy, he told Irene that he was on his way for a bbq. "Me go to bbq now see you soon" he says. I love it! At the bbq he comes up to me and says " mama the girl no play with me" and I asked him if he had asked her to play and he said no, so I told him to go ask her to play and he did! "You play with me as he takes her hand and leads her to the climbers!


Spencer is awesome too! He has now realized he can play with his toys when he's on his playmat!

So as Jackson let me know first thing this morning when he got up that it was 'not a blue day out' and that it was raining we had a lazy kinda day! We stayed inside and played for most of the day until the rain stopped when daddy got home!

Jackson got to help mommy bake today and what was so amazing was that he counted all the way up to 12 all by himself with no prompting or help from me which I was pretty amazed about.  My little boy is amazing me everyday with the things he is learning!

Well it's Monday and we just got back from Auntie Laura's cottage! What fun did we have! Went spent a day in Port Dover, walking up and down the strip and checking things out. The kids got to eat lunch down on the beach which they enjoyed. We took them out to the end of the pier and they had a blast watching the kids jump off the end. Jackson was also excited to watch a boy and his father catch some fish.

We then took the kids to Selkirk to the annual Gasfest, where they say the annual parade; they got candy from the participates in the parade which was such a highlight for them. They also got to play in a couple of different bouncy castles which they also enjoyed. Jackson really liked the swimming in the water of the boat ride at the end of the day.  It was a really great day for everyone and I can't wait to go back again next year!
