:: Project 52 :: 3 - Thumb sucking~

This is my boy. Tyson. He's just turned 5! I can't even believe it! Then i see him sucking his thumb and i remember hes still my baby. ;) He started this habit right from the get go! There was no stopping him. We tried everything. Thumb out, sucky in, thumb out sucky in... Then we tried Putting a sock on his hand, he learned to suck right through that sock.... We finally gave up!

But NOW WHAT! hahaha. He's gotta stop this by kindergarten... right??? I mean the poor kid is going to get teased! Got any good ideas??

Its so hard because I look at him, and I love him more than life it self and see his innocence, as soon as he takes that thumb outta his mouth..... All kinds of crazy things fly out... Girlie screams, whinny humbles, goofy giggles, sometimes I even get a kiss on the cheek ;)

Anyways I love this kid. He's my little man.
Enjoy
xxoo

Advent Calendars

My son Tyson was thrilled when I showed him his advent calendar this year! We've discovered the very cool LEGO Advent Calendar! This is the first year he's been interested in Lego. Every day you get a new little lego toy. A snowman. a Piano. a figure. a skateboard & ramp. very cool! Anyways, we spent 2 dayas at Apex mountain resort this past weekend (which for us is Sunday/monday) Tyson was so upset we forgot the calendare at home! Every morning he gets so excited. "Mom today is December six!!" lol Ya so this was not good.. bad mommy for leaving it behind!! I had hoped that the Tobogganing and hot chocolate would help him to forget... but nothing did ! haha. Once we got home though he was thrilled to get to open TWO doors at once! ha. SEE... I knew what i was doing! ;)

Oh another note. I was blessed to photograph a cute little family while I was up at Apex! These two little men as super adorable!! Enjoy a few little teasers! I hope you all are enjoying you holiday season! Remember that every comment I will donate a canned food item to the Salvation Army!! More info on *Cans for Comments* click HERE.

25 Days of Christmas.

Hello All.
I am excited to be blogging more often! I vowed to myself this year that I would *TRY* to blog more so that you could get to know me on a more personal base. I am honestly no good at writing(or spelling! I'm sure you've noticed!). I find myself struggling to make these long enough, so I've decided that I will be a short blogger :D I am also hoping that more of you will keep stopping back and leaving feed back, encourage me along the way!

So for the month of December I've decided our family will be doing "The 25 days of christmas" The whole idea for me is to find ways to bless others around us where it's those who are in great need or those in our neighborhood or church or school or work. Where ever! Also I want to find things to do that are special with my boys. (Tyson will be 5 in January & Lucas is 1.5 years old) I am so busy the rest of the year that I want to make them a priority this month! This means working less. ;) (Sorry all, I will be back in the swing of things for January. I felt this was super important to do for the family.)

SO here are a few ideas I have!

• 1. Make a christmas card for a special family member.
• 2. visit the Live Nativity at in Kelowna.
• 3. make paper snowflakes
• 4. Bake a pie for someone in our church.
• 5. Deliver flowers to an unsuspecting person.
• 6. Make Apple Cider for the postman.
• 7. Go for a family walk in the snow and then make snow angels.
• 8. Go skating at Apex mountain and have Hot Cocoa!

But I would SOOOO love for you to give me other ideas! Do you know any great needs in Penticton area? Do you have any ideas for me!?

Leave me a little note! Remember that all comments go towards 'Cans for Comments'. I am going to donate 1 canned food for every comment! If you are new to this check out my post from yesterday HERE.

Ignore the quality of photos i know they aren't super but I try to just be a mom and not always a photographer!
