Helicopters!!

Mark had gotten a cheap RC helicopter at Target to play with William. For Xmas they got a better one from Nana and Grampa. Mark was testing it out one night. William wanted to give it a try, so we let him have the cheap one and Daddy had the nicer one. He actually was quite good at it for a 2 yr old! We had many laughs! We did some get video and we will try and upload that soon.

Kitchen fun!

William got his kitchen for Xmas and absolutely ADORES it!!! He has played with it for countless hours. He likes to eat his play food, doesn't quite get the "fake" food concept. He will also bring his real food over and cook it in his frying pot. The other day he was making "baked apples" on the stove. It is really cute to watch him.

Thanks Grammy and Auntie AL for making William so happy!






On a side note....these are the pics William helped me take. This is the slider man fixing our slider. It slides BEAUTIFUL now. We are in heaven! Don't think it ever slid this well :)

New Years Eve 09'

New Years Eve we had the neighbors over (of course!) and had a BBQ and roasted smores. We tried out our new ladder ball for the 1 time and we all had a fantastic time! Many laughs and a whole lot of alcohol free FUN! We almost had to much fun!







nice fire shot!









Pyro Mark!

Midnight toast!


Fire work mishap...crator in the lawn! :)

a couple cool shots on the camera..weird pic of Ken in action!

Wild Wonderland, Lowry Park Zoo

The Zoo was having wild wonderland nights through most of December. We decided to go after Christmas in hopes of it being less crowded. It was very nice, but a bit on the chilly side! Not a lot of people and we had fun walking around. We didn't see many animals as they were all away. It was mostly a night of looking at lights and riding on the rides. Which wasn't a ton for Sr. William as he was only 2. You have to be 3 to ride most things, so next year he should have fun! It was a nice night out and we all enjoyed ourselves!






Some playground fun!


Mommy in the tunnel :)


They have a new train, William LOVED it! He was all smiles and it was too cute!



Hurricane simulator....it was breezy!

Carousel fun. William had fun and even tried the "no hands" trick-after watching someone else do it!



One ride we could do with William was the chair lift. (Go figure, crazy amount of feet up in the air! ) William was good for a bit, but it was a tad to long for him.


Reindeer from the North NY Pole! Interesting fact- females loose their antlers in the summer and males in the winter. I think I remembered that correctly. Well the females got to "warm" FL and they shed their antlers once here. There was only 1 female left with 1 antler left. All the rest had lost them.








FREE pony ride! William HAD SO MUCH FUN! This was probably the highlight of the night for all of us! I didn't get any good pics though :( He really enjoyed himself, he rode 2x!
