No TV

Yes, we still have a TV.... but we decided to leave it off for a week (starting last Friday) just to see what it was like.We watch sooo much TV we thought it would be an interesting experiment! Since Dean is a cable guy we get EVERY channel (really, every single one) and we have the DVR so I record all the shows I like and watch them when Tyler is sleeping. We're kinda cheating... all of the shows we watch are still recording so we can watch them when the week is up! It's been really good though, and I've missed it a little but not as much as I thought I would. Our TV used to be on all the time, even if we weren't watching it really. And, I'm a bad mom when it comes to the TV... I was letting Tyler watch WAY too much! When I was pregnant I'd let him watch cartoons just so he'd sit still and I could veg out and it had carried over after Isaac arrived. Now I know we can live without it! Another great thing is Tyler has been an angel! I don't think it's just a coincidence that he's been more well behaved since we don't let him watch much now. I have let him watch a little in the morning when I'm not ready to get out of bed, and today I let him watch some movies because he got a cold and didn't feel very good. Other than that he's been keeping busy with toys, coloring, and play dough. I'm sure I've been giving him a little more attention, too, since he's not just glued to the tube! I think I'm a little more productive since I don't just sit down to watch it. Dean has been pretty busy with work and the church school fundraiser, but when he has been home we've been having actual conversations a lot more! So really, while I do miss it a little and can't wait until I can start watching some of the shows I recorded, it's been a good experience. I think our TV will be off a little more now in the future :-).

Big Boys!

Ok, so my sons are big! they had their checkups today: Isaac's 2 month appointment and Tyler's 3 year appointment. Isaac is 100% in height, weight, and head size! He weighs 14 lbs. 11 oz. and is 24 inches long. Tyler was 100% for weight, 80% for height, and 90% for head size. I guess we grow them big, huh? What's funny is Tyler was even bigger than Isaac when he was 2 months old! Sheesh!
So, aside from that, they are both healthy. Isaac got his first shots and it was so sad, but he did really well. He only cried for a few seconds. He got a little grouchy this afternoon because I forgot to massage his legs where he got his shots (you're supposed to do that to keep the stuff from pooling in the muscle, but I remembered too late) so he got a knot in one of his legs and it was pretty sore for awhile. I felt so bad! He's better now though, back to his happy self!
Tyler had both the doctor and I cracking up... he just told story after story. He told the Dr. all about his birthday and what color of towels we all use (" my towel is white and mommy's is blue and daddy's is green and mommy uses one for her hair and body"). Then when the Dr. was listening to Isaac's heart Tyler told him that Jesus was in there. Is that just adorable? I sure love my boys!

Tyler is 3!!!!!

Seriously? He's already 3? I really can't believe it!!!!

Happy Birthday, Tyler! I love you soooo much!!!!!!
