Edmonton Trip

On the November long weekend we headed into Edmonton, Jeff took the Thursday off so we would have an extra day. We got to the city about 11:30, the trip was quite long for Tyson but in the end I think he thought it was worth it. We went to Farm Fair and saw some cows, which was nice for all of us. Then Melanie found us, so we hung out with her and Larry and Joanne for most of the afternoon. Chris was busy with auctions so we didn't see him until supper time. We toured through the trade fair part for awhile, we mostly were at a massage chair booth and it was hard to get Jeff to leave it too. But anyways we went to Boston Pizza with Chris and Mel, had a nice supper then tried to find our hotel. Which wasn't the easiest task for us, but we finally made it there. And it was just in time for Tyson and Jeff to go swimming for about 20 min. Then Friday morning we met up with Gramma and Uncle Kris at the West Ed waterpark. That was fun! However Jeff could have stayed there all day, instead of shopping. Which he ended up taking Tyson back to the hotel for a nap. The mall was very, VERY, busy that weekend. But we got alot of Christmas shopping done so that was nice. That evening we all went back to our hotel and had a pizza party then went swimming again. Shopping again on saturday, we went early to west ed so Tyson could run around and look at all the different stuff they have there. He thought that was great. Then for saturday night we stayed with Gramma, Kris ended up staying at a friends house in Sherwood Park, so that worked out really good. We had a nice birthday supper for Jeff sat night since his birthday was the next day. Sunday was not as busy, said our goodbyes to Gramma and Kris, made a couple stops on our way out of the city and headed back to Fox Creek. In all a great weekend, and hope to do it again sometime.

Winter is Here

On November 4th Tyson looked out the window and saw Great Big Snowflakes coming down. He was so excited that winter was here!!! All he did was dance around the apartment and talk, no yell, about the snow. SO when I asked him if he wanted to go play outside he could barely contain himself he was so excited. Being that it was now winter we had to get all the gear on, which maybe is not the fun part of winter because it just takes too long for an excited little boy. However, we finally got all dressed and headed out to the winter wonderland. Snow, it is just the most amazing thing to a 2 year old, it is like the biggest discover ever. So after we played in it for long enough and cheeks are started to get way to red, we had to back indoors, which is the most tragic disaster to happen to someone, you would think. After choaxing with hot chocolate, Tyson was finally conviced that going inside was not the end of the world. And trust me winter will be here for way too long, even for someone who lives the snow so much.

Halloween

Here are some pics of our halloween. It was fun, we carved a pumkin, well I had to clean it out, Tyson and Jeff were drew pics to see what face to put on our jack-o-lantern. Actually his name was Jack the Punken, decided by Tyson of coarse. So finally after I got all the messy part done with Jeff and Tyson started working on the face. Tyson enjoyed himself, but we made Jack a little too scary for him, especially when we put the candle in him and turned out the lights.
We also went trick or treating, Tyson dressed up like a Sheriff. We went over to Josh's house and all went together to get some treats. Josh was dressed up as Robin Hood so they made a good pair. The boys had a great time together, only fought for a little bit, by the end they were to tired to fight. They just said "I tired", so we had to carry them the rest of the way. All around we had a great halloween and can't wait till next year to get dressed up. Which I think I might just forget about the getting candy part, because all I have heard is "Mommy I have trick or treat" every day since halloween. Trust me a 2 year old boy does not need much candy is his system to really get him going and Mommy can only handle that once in awhile(preferably when Daddy is home).

On a Farm, YEAH

On a farm, what an exciting thing. Something we took forgranted before in Saskatchewan, now it is a real treat. In the picture Tyson is riding "Odie", named that becaue he likes eating oats, . We went out to Ambroses, Jeff's boss, for a pig roast with some other employees. It was fun, I got to meet some of the guys Jeff works with plus we were at the farm and saw horses and cows! We had lots of fun and Tyson had a good night sleep that night after all that fresh air and runnig around.

Before Winter Comes

Tyson and I enjoyed some time out at the park before the dreaded flurries fly. It was a wonderful day out at the park, Tyson was on the swings, the slide and just plain old running around with a carefree spirit. It was great! We even met some neighbors of ours that day. Once again they are not from Fox Creek (no one here is actually from the town) they came from Saskatchewan, farming of coarse, and are now here working in little old Fox Creek. Anyways we had a great time out at the park that day and can't wait for spring to come again.

Tyson

Now Tyson is adjusted quite well, he knows his home is in Fox Creek, and because we are in the apartment he enjoys going for drives around town now that winter is here. He is growing so much, he just had another growth spurt because most of his shirts are too short in the sleeves, he is going to be just like his dad. Not that he isn't already a spitting image of Jeff. He enjoys playing with his tractors and trucks, making all sorts of engine sounds. Recently gramma sent him a package and in it there were a couple of guitar picks,"just like Kris'." Whom he idolizes with his guitar playing. Tyson walks around playing his guitar saying "see just like Kirs", and if any music comes on he has to run and find his guitar so he can play too. He definatly keeps me entertained.
So this is a start for my blog, I will get some pics put on it and do some more so bare with me I'm a beginner.

Taylor Trio

Hello everyone
This is my first ever blog. So bare with me as I play with this for a bit. As you know we are now living in Fox Creek, ALberta. We moved here in August and are enjoy our new life here. Jeff has had the biggest change with his new career, but enjoying it as well. However his learn curve has sky rocketed and the first couple weeks he wasn't sure if he would remember everything. But now he has gotten into the groove of things and is doing very well. One thing that is really different is the fact that he actually has real days off. Not used to that at all, coming from the farm this is quite a change for us. However Jeff does get bored on some of his days off, but Tyson enjoys having him around more.
