Ty turns 4!

Our sweet Ty turned 4! We went to Disneyland and they gave him a button that said Happy Birthday Tyler. He was so proud of it. Ty is such a sweet, kind-hearted, easy going kid. He loves to act silly! He tries to keep up with his brother and has been forced in a way too grow up quickly, but he still loves little boy stuff when Jake is not around. He is so great with Kylie, telling me when she is in trouble and taking toys that are too small away. Anytime he gets a drink she comes crawling over to steal a sip, which he is always willing to give. He is sensitive and gets his feelings hurt often, but it shows his sweet tender heart. He still snuggles, which I cherish everytime wondering if it is one of the last. He loves superheroes and Star Wars, and playing with friends. God blessed us with such an amazing gift!

Ty's first day of Preschool

I am so excited for Ty to have his own school where he can escape from all of us! He had a great day. He knows the school so well from
dropping Jake off. He has Mrs. Mohn who we adore. He has all boys in his class, but thankfully they do things with the other classes too. I can't believe my baby boy is growing up so fast!

Kylie's first big Owie

So sad. Kylie was climbing down from the couch and snagged my laptop. It fell off the couch and crushed her little pinky. We will wait to see if she loses the nail. Ty kept saying in a very sad voice, "Kylie is not suppose to bleed!". She handled it better than all of us!

Look who's standing!

We are getting closer! The boys and I watched Kylie stand up sit down for what seemed like an hour. She was so proud of herself. We would cheer everytime she did it and she would let out a scream and smile! Shortly after she smashed her pinky! Her first big boo-boo. I don't think it will slow her down. Her finger was bleeding and Ty kept saying in a scared voice. "Kylie is not suppose to bleed, Kylie never bleeds."

Bathtime is getting crowded!

Kylie does not miss a beat with those boys. I don't think she even knows they are bigger than her. She fights over toys and wrestles!

Good Times in the Neighborhood

The boys have been enjoying their lazy summer playing with the kids in the neighborhood. There are now three other boys Jake's age and one little girl Ty's age. It helps that the parents like each other too!

Tyler's 4th Birthday Party

Tyler shared his 4th birthday with four other birthday kids from the playgroup, Sarah, Hayden, Megan, and Mira. They jumped their little hearts out at Pump it Up. Kylie even got to play.

Bandaid Obsession

Tyler is obsessed with bandaids! No more kisses for owies, it must be a bandaid. So sad for mommy.

Crazy girl!

Kylie is all over the place these days! Still not walking, but seems to find her way around. She climbs everything she sees!

Kylie's 1st Birthday Party!

Kylie had a great 1st birthday party. All her nanas and papas, most of her aunts and uncles, playgroup, MOPS, and some other special friends all came. It was at a local park and the older kids enjoyed traditional picnic games like potato sack and 3-legged races. We had a special lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, lemonade, chocolate chip cookies, and special pink cupcakes for the kids.

Kylie always make me laugh, and it is not because she is always smiling. Quite the opposite actually, she is very serious and always thinking. People make the craziest faces to make her laugh, but she won't budge. It cracks me up. She does laugh at home in the comfort of her home! I forget how much she notices and analyzes everything around her. She is such an old soul like Jake. She isn't walking yet, but has taken a couple steps. She LOVES to eat, and will eat pretty much anything. No more baby food for this little one. She loves her brothers, but is already fighting over toys. She sure stands her ground! I don't think she will be pushed over and will most likely be the boss someday. She loves her mama best, but daddy is a close second. She is shy at first in front of adults, but loves kids. Her white blond hair and blue eyes are a shock to everyone including me. It is such a special treat to have a blue-eyed baby. I guess you always want what you don't have. I have a feeling this little one is going to give me a run for my money...I already call her our little monster. She likes shoes and purses...so we may just end up with a girly-girl.
