11 months old!

Tyler is a wonderful baby. He loves to play and to eat. He makes our life so much better and everyday I am just grateful to spend time with him. He has been sick and cranky for the last two months with ear infections and so it isn't always fun for him....but hopefully this next round of antibiotics will cure it or he has to get tubes. So sad. We hope he will get better soon!
He gets taller and taller every day. He is also very protective of what he wants to play with. Zach always takes his toys and its kind of funny to hear this noise come out of Tyler's mouth in protest. Its not a scream and its not laughter....I don't know how to describe it but I know that Tyler will catch up with Zach someday and boy will that be fun! (For Zach)


Garden time!

Growing up my Grandma had a huge 3 acre garden. I always thought it was cool and she never got bored of working in her garden. I always liked to dig up potatoes and pull carrots out of the ground. I loved the rows and rows of corn she had and everytime I see a garden I think of her. Well, for my birthday I wanted to plant a small garden for the boys. It was a lot of work to get it started but I think we are on the right track.We were even able to put in a watering system. It was so much fun putting all of it together! Now we just have to have time to plant. Hopefully, this weekend!


How Dad Gets Creative!

Its interesting to see sometimes how boys can simply entertain themselves. I came out of the bedroom to find all of them with these little stacking cups on their heads. Not sure how or what was keeping the children entertained with this but it made for a funny picture. Kenny loves to play with the kids and he is always so creative.

Zach thought this was the coolest thing. To me he looks like a birthday cake......oh the life of a mom with boys. Its fun! Never a dull moment.

Sad moment but Happy Ending

This was my yard Saturday night and Sunday Morning. Saturday was a crazy day and when we came home Kenny decided to dig up this hole that he noticed had excess water in it signifying a leak. As he was digging the groud was just so saturated. At that point in time I was calling my best bud, Felicia, back and told her about our little leak. Her husband jumped right on it and came over to help Kenny figure it out. After being here for an hour and digging he decided we all needed to eat and come back and figure the whole thing out. They took us to the most amazing place that dreams are made of and we had the best dinner followed by yummy ice-cream....you guys are the best! Anyway so back to my story, we get home at 9pm and the boys proceed to dig. And dig. I should have been studying but watching the men figure this mess out was much more interesting then drugs ( not taking them but studying them) so I went out to help. They had to dig up half the yard and I lost a Lantana in the process but they felt like they knew where the leak was so all was good. Except Home Depot was closed and we had no water and the next day was Sunday. Kenny and Adam both knew it had to be done and evidently many members of our church did too because on Sunday many people showed up or called to offer their help. With the expertise of Adam and Thad Kenny was able to fix the water by having to replace the whole line. Turns out our wonderful builder put in terrible piping that can have pin hole leaks in it after only a short period of time. THANKS DR HORTON HOMES!!! Anyway, our yard is back to normal, I can't figure out how to clean the street from all the dirt but the best part.....WE HAVE WATER AGAIN!!!! YAHHHHHH! Thank you so much for all who helped!

Turning 25!!!!

I tried to fill the day with lots of fun. We went to kids at the park. Went out to lunch with the girls and then had ice cream and cake with my parents. Overall it was a good birthday.

Happy Times

I thought this picture was so cute. Zach loves Tyler so much. One night as I was sitting on the couch I looked over when I heard rumbling in the toy box. I look up to see Zachary with these ugly alien glasses on upside down. I busted up laughing and then Zach thought Tyler needed to wear them. This was Tyler's reaction.
