Little Tyler's 1st Birthday!

Our Little Man turned one on January 6th! We celebrated the Friday after his birthday. He still isn't into opening presents yet, but he kept us entertained with his cake.

Loving the balloons!



Happy Birthday!



Helping himself!



His first trucks!

Snow, snow, and more snow!

So we keep getting snow. As much as I like it, I'm starting to wonder when it's going to stop. But, I wanted to give everyone who doesn't get to experience it an idea of what we have. Chloe came out to brave the weather while I was shoveling. As you can see, it's still snowing.

Our mound of snow turned into a mountain.

Our poor bushes.

Look how high it goes on the porch!

Snowman

So over Christmas was had a bunch of snow fall. The girls and I got out and played in it for as long as we could stand. The result, a snowman, who ended up turning out interesting.

Little Tyler staying high and dry. The girls enjoying themselves.

After we finished our snowman it continued to snow. He ended up with some pretty nice hair that Tyler just had to have fun with.

Counting down the days......

I have decided that I do not like the Christmas calendars..... The forboding reminder that you're not ready, but it's coming anyway. Chloe got one from school that she puts stickers on. I keep hoping that time will stop for just a day or two. I started to make one for family and I thought it would turn out cute. It's a little quilted one with buttons to put to ornaments on. Now I'm not so sure I want to finish it..... If you haven't realized, I don't feel like we are even close to being ready for Christmas this year. Yet, here it is less than a week away.

We've gone some parties this year where the girls have gotten to sit on Santa's lap, luckily no tears this time.

Little Tyler didn't cry either.

Apparently there was fuzz on the lens all night too.

Our Beautiful Tree!

Tyler and I have officially had our first real christmas tree! We were getting ready to start putting up our decorations and a last minute decision came around to get it. Our fake tree is pretty, but nothing compares to the real thing. Our house, or atleast the livingroom, smells so good all the time now! So far no issues with it and Little Tyler yet. Well worth the needles I have to clean up all the time.

Thanksgiving '08

Here I find myself behind again.

For Thanksgiving we went to Idaho and spent the holiday with Tyler's dad and stepmom. We had planned on just staying here, but Tyler was lucky enough to get the day before off. Like always, the girls loved to see their grandparents. It was good to see some of the family too. Of course there are pics to share.

Lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

It's a little hard to see, but the mohawk twins.
