We've been having a lot of fun and keeping plenty busy lately. These pictures document the good...but this is a reminder to myself that we like to remember the good- but we've had our fair share of insanity lately. I am grateful for a spouse that is so willing to work hard for us and with us. We are loving our two boys and struggling with the challenge of a two-year-old. We love the silly times and want to pull our hair out with the tantrums. We love the smiles, hate the late nights.... just saying. Life is wonderful, normal, and far from perfect ;) However, here are the moments we are choosing to remember most.
Our silly boy. He has this punch balloon from Grandma and Grandpa. He recently decided it would make a good head piece. The balloon is about the size of some girls' bows these days. Guess he just felt left out ;)
Caught ya! Sneaking a cinnamon roll Sunday morning. Little stinker! He found his step stool out and used it to the fullest.
Chocolate ice cream on Sunday afternoon. What else is better? Tyler has yet to eat an entire meal with a utensil. I don't know why we bother. Yogurt, ice cream, pizza...you name it...he ends up eating with his hands still.
All of Tyler's cars needed to go through the laundry apparently. He had fun dumping them all in my laundry basket and sitting in there with them to "get clean". He's been getting more creative with his play time lately and I love it. My favorite is when he makes me pretend meals and throws them across the room for me to try. You've gotta see it!
Little guy working hard on moving around. He's got the backward scoot going on which means crawling isn't too far away. Wonder what kind of fun I'm in for with two mobile kiddos.
Tyler's costume for Halloween this year. He was inspired by Kung Fu Panda- which dad recorded on the DVR and we watch it over, and over, and over again.
Jake is working hard on sitting up. He gets so excited when he does something good and gets applauded for it. He can sit up for small amounts of time on his own.
Tyler the ninja warrior. Such a serious face! Daddy went all out and didn't just get a costume- but accessories also. Now I just have to hide the swords until Tyler can learn how to use them safely.
Finally- a good one of his two teeth. He is such a light in our home. So quick to smile. He can make anyone's day! (just ignore the orange left on his face from whatever his meal was right before the picture)
Big ol' goof ball. Jacob has been loving his jumperoo. Now he stands straight up to stretch out. If you look close you can see those two teeth again. He is growing up way too fast.
Father/son date last Friday. The boys got to go out for McDonalds (aka Donalds) and to pick out pumpkins for Halloween. They came home with costumes, toys, and other groceries we needed as well. Tyler had a blast spending some quality time with daddy.
We tried big boy underwear for a day...or about 30 minutes ;) We'll try for real around December. He was so excited to wear them though. Hopefully we'll have an easy go of potty training when the time comes.
Yummy! Tyler goes right for the guts (of his gummie snake).
Eating a delicious snake that came in his Halloween package from Granny. It was way more gross than the pictures can show.

Matching jammies! We're at the point where Jacob adores Tyler...and Tyler gets annoyed with all the attention :) Oh the fun times ahead.

Hi Laura,
I used to wonder if Trevor and Tyler would ever sit and use utensils to eat. And now, at 3 almost 4, WOW, they do!
This year for Halloween I decided they need to be Thing 1 and Thing 2 because some days they are.
I love reading about your adventures.
