ollie and his aunts...

little oliver is not being spoiled this weekend at all! not one bit! everyone is simply ignoring him!! hmmm...soooo not true! Ceara, Laura and Lisa are loving hanging out with their little nephew! Here are a couple photos from this morning...

just love that line of drool!

this expression is sooo adorable!

already walking..

with the help of his aunts!! Ceara and Laura thought Oliver needed to walk across the living room this evening!! Such goofy aunts!! Oliver is really enjoying having Ceara, Laura and Lisa here...he just goes from one set of arms to the next!!

yeah!! way to go ollie!!

animals!!

At the fair there was lots of animals for little Ollie to see! This is the first time he has seen these animals outside of his little books!!

Ceara brought Oliver down to see this little miniature pony!

and the lambs...

he actually looked at this little lamb!!

decided he needed a little nap after learning about animals!

this was a big horse!!

the owner of this horse let us sit Ollie on the horse's back!!

Ceara said she was a little scared getting this close to the horse!! Thanks for doing Ceara...it made for a great photo!! (i certainly wouldn't have gotten that close to the horse!!)

Oliver and Oliver

Today we all (meaning Brandon, Ceara, Laura, Lisa, Oliver and myself!) went to the county fair!! It was pretty fun...we walked through all the buildings with all the "things" to look at!! and of course we had to go through the animal buildings!! But first we had to take a few photos of Oliver on the Oliver tractors!! Here they are...

this one is my favourite photo!!

the "newer" style of Oliver tractor...

the backside of Ollie...oh, so cute!

Love all these photos!!

cute-ness

just one random photo of my little guy. love this photo!
he is going to have his daddy's beautiful blue eyes!

fireworks

Giant Days...we got to see the fireworks here in town! We went out to the fairgrounds with some friends and sat in our camping chairs and enjoyed the show! Brandon took some really neat photos...

it was pretty late in the evening for little ollie...he slept for some of the fireworks and then woke and watched some of them!! but soon went back to sleep!! i was pretty amazed that he liked to watch them...i guess all those bright colours bursting in the sky are pretty intriguing!!

just me and my mom

mom told me if i ever put these photos online she would kill me...lets hope she was just joking!!
i was going through tons of old photos tonight and came across these...i started laughing out-loud!! they are sooooo funny!! we took these one night when we were both at the point of being overly-tired that we got super hyper!! that was one fun night!! and there wasn't even any alcohol involved!! we can have that much fun just on our own...are we talented or what??!!

Grandpa Wayne

brandon's granpa wayne passed away july 13th. he had been battling bone cancer for a long time and he put up a good fight. we'll all miss him tons...but remember all the memories we have!

rocket-ship maaaaan

here is my little rocket-ship man! these are my favourite pajamas we got for him on our shopping spree! brandon and i had a "date-night" on sunday and we bought ollie some new clothes...including these new jammies from the children's place! last night they were finally clean and he was able to wear them...and we flew him around the living room saying,"here comes rocket-ship maaaaan!"

can you believe it...these pajamas are size 12 months!! they had to have shrunk in the dryer a little bit...because they fit him super well!!
and this is his new way of holding his mouth...we think he's been teething the past couple of days and he really likes to clamp his jaw together making this super cute expresion!!

soooo big!!

flying on daddy's shoulder...so much fun!!

"real food"!!

Tonight, Oliver got his first taste of "real food"!! i've been wondering if the "little" guy has been needing a little something more...he's constantly nursing and i feel like i'm always running on "empty"! So, tonight on the way out to Grandma Lois' house we stopped by the grocery store and picked up some rice cereal...

his first spoonful

not quite too sure about that first bite!!

maybe this stuff is okay...

okay it was really good!

give me more!!

oh, yeah!!

yum, yum! i think he really liked it...he ate a few bites. it was very runny, so it was hard to say how much stayed in his mouth and how much ran out and just how much wound up on his fingers!!

Pool time...

Last weekend for Oliver's Baptism...my whole fam came down! They stayed at the hotel here in town...and they have a pool! We had thought about going to the outdoor pool in town, but there was a pool at the hotel (and it was already paid for!!) so we swam here. And it was Oliver's first time in a pool!! i think he liked it...he "swam" for about 45 minutes!!
my mom took all of these photos for me!

mommy and ollie
(brandon had a band gig in fairmont that afternoon...so he couldn't join us.)

i love how everyone gathered around ollie once we got in the pool!

i love this photo of laura!
