Latest Cake...Morgan's 4th Birthday

Here is the cake that I made for Morgan's 4th Birthday.

First Snow

I'm not too sure who was more excited Sunday morning when they saw snow, Ava or Pete! Pete got to use his brand new snowblower...he was sooooo happy!

Oh Christmas Tree!

This past weekend we took off on our yearly trip to the Christmas tree farm with the Reeves'. Here are a few pics from getting the tree and decorating.

2009 Xmas Parade

Last Saturday we ventured out for the Xmas parade. I hadn't been to a Fredericton Xmas parade since I was young and I must say it was really good! We found the perfect spot with the Reeves' and got there just in time! We also celebrated Grampy's Birthday and I finally was able to let Ava have her hands in on decorating it with me. The middle marshmallow is Leah and Ava proudly made her all by herself!

Leah's 1st Birthday!

On Saturday we had our families over to help Leah celebrate her first birthday. She had her first taste of cake and didn't seem to be all that excited about it. I think she may be a salty girl! Here are a few pics from her party.

Caledonia Champs 2009!

Pete played in 1999 when the Loyalists won their first Caledonia cup in sometime and 10 years later after playing in Boston an Oakville and a few B side games Pete made his way back on to the A side Loyalist team to win his second Caledonia championship.

Leah's First Halloween

Halloween Party!

Yesterday Ava had her school Halloween party. I made a ghost cake for her to take in with her. Ava started out wanting to be a fireman for Halloween then when we bougth Leah a pumpkin costume off of Kijiji and it was too big for her Ava wanted to be the pumpkin instead. Then a week or two later she wanted to be a super hero and wear a cape so we blended her idea to fit with the pumpkin costume and so became Super Pumpkin!

The Pinata!

This past weekend Ava was busy being a party girl. She attended Kya's 4th birthday which was a Pricess themed party and she attended Olivia's 3rd birthday where Scotty and the Stars played. Ava was impressed with this Pinata idea which was at both parties. She's loving all the candy. Can't wait to see what she thinks of trick or treating!

The Country Pumpkin...What a Day!

The Jackass moments before it bit Leah's hand...

Today we decided to get out to the Country Pumpkin to get our pumpkins for Halloween. We had quite the time there as we are still all a little under the weather. I'm suffering from laryngitis and can barely squeak out a word. We arrived and Ava wanted to go see the horses, so off we went. I got the camera ready to take a pic of Ava & Pete with the horse in the background and a little girl was trying to feed a donkey a piece of grass about a the size of a pea. First thing Pete says to her as there were no parents around was for her to be careful it may bite her. Seconds later a 7 year old boy flew off the swing he was swinging on and landed on his head (his parents were talking to other parents and didn't notice him land on his head) Pete quickly ran over and let the parents know what happened. Then it was our turn...Pete and Ava went back to posing for the picture and then Pete decided to get Leah from my arms so she could be in the pic too. As I prepared the camera and looked up to pete and Ava smiling for the camera I tried to get Leah to face me and then Pete realized the Jackass donkey had her hand clamped ever so nicely in its mouth. Leah started to cry and Pete said he really had to pull her hand out hard. (he told me a few moments ago that he was ready to punch the ass in its face...now that wouldn't have created a scene at all (insert sarcasm)). Poor Leah didn't have much fun the rest of the stay. Luckily she had mittens on and its teeth didn't break her skin but it's quite red in certain spots. And this all happend oh lets say the first 7 minutes of our arrival!
