Last week before school starts.

So its my last week before school starts. I have been so busy trying to get ready and get the boys ready for this little life change and I thought I was tired. I guess I wasn't the only one. Zach never just takes naps on his own. Usually we have to read books first and have his dog and a blanket by his side....but I think he is just utterly exhausted.

Doctor was Right...

We went to the doctor today for Tyler's 9 month check up. All was well and the doctor said that I really need to cherish my time with these little boys. He said that some of the best times will be at their ages now. I thought that was funny. In my head I kept thinking of all the funny things my boys do. Tonight we had the priviledge to hang out with the Kriloff girls and when their mom came back she brought ice cream for us and a cone clown for Zach. Me being the amazing mom that I am, I let Zach have it....at 9 pm might I add. This was the result.
Thank you Felicia and Adam for this laughing moment. Zach loved the cone. Can you tell?

Christmas Lights Fun

We went to the lights this year and Zach was so excited. This was his brand new scarf my mom knitted for him.

Tyler was so siked he couldn't even keep his eyes open.

It was really pretty. Lots of light and such a gorgeous nativity.

Zach didn't really want to stand still but despite how cold it was daddy wanted a picture with Zach.

Christmas Time is Fun!

This is our tree. For the first time in a long time it was not pulled over this year. I was so excited.

Tyler does this half smile thing..... It cracks me up. He's been doing it since he was four months old. I think he has two smiles. One when he is happy.....and one that is the full out giggle and is just thrilled. Who knew that Zach would be so happy and proud that one of his presents was underwear. He likes Mickey Mouse and was so excited to get them. I got my child underwear. Is that crazy or what?

Zach got more cars for Christmas. That puts him well over 200.

2 children, 10 months apart + presents = fun chaos.

These are some of the trucks he got. He loves this one in particular.

I think stockings are the best! Zach loved the candy that came in them too.

I think the boys had fun this year. Between my family, Kenny's family, and our own little Christmas, it was non-stop fun. We are so blessed.

Tyler's Best Friend

It seems as though my children bond especially to certain people in special ways. Zachary will always be attached to Chocolate milk grandma.... Tyler is attached to GRANDPA! He gets so excited everytime he sees him.

I just love seeing Tyler giggle with joy or snuggle up to my Dad. It's so cool!

Santa's North Pole Visit

Zachary thought it was so cool to sit in Santa's lap. He kept saying he wanted a motorcycle.

Tyler was not so sure. He was facinated with the mustach but that was about it. I think it's cute how they both are holding hands. I didn't realize they were doing that until after we left. Zachary always looks out for his brother. I'm not quite sure what the boys were talking about here but I think Tyler was wanting to get his hands on that beard. They are so much fun!

Zach sure loves Tyler.

North Pole Visit Complete! Now we wait to see what Santa brings...

Hackett House Tea

Every year the ladies in Kenny's family go to tea to honor Kenny's Grandma. I was privileged to go with them this year. It was a lot of fun and the food was so yummy.
