More Tyler stuff...

I know, I don't blog about much else, but I have to blog about Tyler right now. Mainly because I don't want to forget all the stuff that's happened this weekend concerning him. So, I'm sorry if you're sick of hearing about him, but I just can't help it!

First, we went to dinner at Chili's last night. Tyler is really well behaved in public places and we take pride in the fact we can take him anywhere with us. last night was no exception! When we got up to leave an older lady who was sitting across the aisle and down a ways from us leaned out of her booth and thanked us. She said normally she and her husband avoid sitting by children at restaurants (but they couldn't avoid it this time) and we were a pleasure to sit by because Tyler was so well behaved. She said normally kids aren't disciplined enough and are really obnoxious to be around. Let me tell you, as a parent that is one of the highest compliments you can get! To have an unbiased stranger say something like that to you... well, we must be doing something right! Wait, strike that, I think the Lord has just blessed us with a pretty good little boy!

So a little later, Tyler says, "I'm not Tyler-man anymore (that's what we call him), I'm big brother. Isaac is little brother." So cute.

I cut Dean's hair last night and then he shaved off ALL of his facial hair. That never happens! So when he came in to show Tyler, Tyler says, " you look like Don (Dean's brother) but you're not Don, you're Dean-Dean." So funny, and Dean actually does look a lot more like his brother now! Tyler is just so stinkin smart sometimes.

Then tonight we went grocery shopping. A random gal at the store told us our little boy was really cute. Once again, unbiased opinion from a stranger! Sheesh, Tyler might be famous someday....
Tyler likes to "help" put groceries away so I had him take some stuff into the bathroom, thinking he would just throw it on the floor and I would pick it up later. Instead, I go in to find everything neatly stacked on the back of the toilet. How cute is that????

Ok, I think I'm done.... I guess I should put a disclaimer on here: Tyler is by no means perfect, but he is sure cute and pretty good for the most part! He has his bad moments, but don't we all? I just love this age... it seems like he says or does something new every day. I am constantly in awe of how much he learns and how smart and cute he is. It's great being his mommy!

First Snow

Since it has been snowing all weekend (!) we decided we'd better get Tyler some new snow boots before all the stores ran out. After church we went boot hunting and actually found some! It's crazy how there is never a lot to choose from when it comes to boy stuff, but there is girl stuff EVERYWHERE. One store had probably 10 different styles of girls boots and not ONE for boys. Ridiculous. Ok, rant over.

Tyler has been fascinated with the snow and has been wanting to play in it ever since it started, so we decided to let him play in it for a while after we got home (since it's just melting now anyway!). After we got all his snow gear on he had a blast! He did not enjoy it this much last year! He and Dean attempted to make a snowman, but it crumbled when Dean tried to out the head on. They had a snowball fight after that!

I just did three new posts....

So keep on scrolling down!

Prego Update!

It's been a while since I've posted a pic of my growing belly, so I guess its about time I did. Everything's going really well! No problems at all, I just feel huge! I have 2 1/2 months until my due date, which I know isn't long but it seems like forever. I am 29 1/2 weeks along right now and this baby moves around like crazy! I swear he's trying to escape through my belly button. So that's about all for now, here are some pictures for you to enjoy..

Finishing the Basement

I don't know why this is underlined... sorry... anyway, Dean started working on our basement the past couple of weeks! He is such a good dad, he lets Tyler go down with him to "help". Tyler is so cute, he takes his own tool set down wityh him and has a little leather pocket he calls his tool belt on too. We also got him some little work gloves to keep him from getting splinters and he wears this gigantic safety glasses sometimes. He is so stinkin cute! Here are some pics of him helping Dean carry in the 2x4s... It took probably 3 times as long but Dean is so patient with him! What a good Daddy!




Here he is with some of his gear on... and that is his toy saw he's using on a scrap piece of 2x4...

More Tyler entertainment....

I haven't posted anything in a while, and what I have posted isn't really deep insight into my life... so I thought I would catch up a little and post some newer pics and stuff....

First of all, this is Tyler's new favorite thing to do while I clean.... I just give him the vacuum and away he goes!


What do you see when you look at this candle? Does the wax look like anything in particular? Tyler saw this at the dinner table one night and said, "look! A deer!" Dean and I both looked around, not knowing he was looking at the candle, and I said "where's a deer?" and he said "in that candle.." and pointed. Sure enough, if you look closely it looks like a deer laying down and looking over it's shoulder. What an imagination!
