Got static?

Tyler does!

Tyler's First Time Out.

I saw Shana do this on Sunday and thought wow, maybe I should try it. Tyler has a tendency to throw toys and today I decided it was time for him to take a little break. Kenny sat him down in the corner told him what was wrong and then told him to sit there. He sat there! We were both in shock because it never works with Zach but Tyler sat there and preceeded to smile at us for the full minute. Insane but funny. Sorry for the red eye, I couldn't get it out!

Sunday Stop to Smile

Kenny thought Tyler looked so cute for church on sunday and wanted a picture. However, we were unable to pry the boy's toothbrush out of his hands....oh well. It still turned out cute.

Great Family Photos

Jake was so great to take our family pictures and was so patient with our cute little crying child. We are very grateful to the Petersens for taking the time to spend with us and capture our lives through photography! They turned out great Jake! Thank you!

Going fishing.....

While we played Candyland and Trouble, Tyler opened the box to Go Fishing and started a game of his own.

First he thought maybe he would just put the fish on the end of the pole

But later I watched as he actually caught one!


This is his proud face!

If You Chance to Meet A Frown

Dont you let it stay, quickly turn it upside down and smile all the way.

No one likes a frowny face, change it to a smile

Quickly turn it upside down and smile all the while.

We are so great about teaching our children, especially Zachary manners at the dinner table.

Love Gardens!

This is my garden this year. It will probably be the last one I do in this house but it is turning out lovely! Im so excited. I have pumpkins, peas, and corn growing....not to mention green grass...whoo hooo. Zach and Tyler both helped me plant this year. Its been fun!

My Thankful Tree

Zach and I were bored today so we thought we would make a thankful tree. One thank you for each day before Thanksgiving. I was thinking we could pull a leaf and that day really think about why we are grateful for that! Korny I know but fun.
