YAY Hollye and Brant are Coming!!!!

YAY the rest of our Family is finally going to be here....for a week anyways....We will be going to pick them up on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

I am so excited, I finally get to see my daughter in a play. I always get to hear about them but never get to see them.

It has been way too long since I have seen them. The last time was over Easter. I am sure they have grown so much since then. They are really excited as well.

They cant wait to see their new brother and all of their cousins.

I truly have a reason to be thankful at Thanksgiving this year......

Here are some pics from last Thanksgiving......

Brant...... He was so sick last year

We cant wait to do it all again..................

Dylan's Birthday

We had Dylan's birthday party on Sunday. All the kids had so much fun. It was a little chilly and very windy. I need to remember that here in Missouri, you never know what the weather will be like at the end of October........LOL! I really need to plan these things a little better. But all that matters is the kids had a blast. Dylan was so happy that Grandma & grandpa, Aunt Chrissy and all the cousins , Uncle Bill and Aunt mary were there. It really meant a lot to him. He also had a few friends from school there. He told me it was his best birthday ever.........That made me feel good. Thats all I want is to make sure he some awesome memories to look back on when he gets older.

Here are some pictures from his party....

Trunk-or-Treat

Hello Everyone. On Friday night we got to go Trunk-or-Treating with all the cousins. It was at the cousins school. It is where a bunch of cars have their trunks decorated and the kids get to go around and trick or treat. It was a lot of fun. It was also Dylan's birthday and he told me it was the best. That made me feel really good. His "big" party is tomorrow at the park. He is so excited, he cant wait.
here are some pics of our Trunk-or-Treating experience.

Mommy & Dylan Time....

Hi everyone.... Well I have decided that I am going to dedicate 1 night a week to spend just with Dylan. He has recently started to get really jealous of his little brother. Monday, I was off work because of Columbus day and Dylan's school was closed so I got to stay home alone with both boys all day and Ty decided that he just wanted to stay awake all day so he kept me pretty busy. I tried to include Dylan in everything I was doing like, make his bottles and had him help me feed him by holding his bottle in Ty's mouth. That wasnt enough though. Dylan was figuring out that if he starts doing bad things he would get attention. So on Tuesday I decided to take him to the Mills (a local mall) to the NASCAR Speed Park. We had so much fun...... Here are a few pictures from our outing... Plus one of Bill's dog Liddy... she is too CUTE....

Ready set GO!!!!!

A Funny Story...

Well this is just too funny that I have to share it with everyone.

Last night when Ty started crying because he was hungry, Bryan went into the room to get him and Dylan looked up at Bryan and said "Dad, my little brother snorts like a pig."

When Ty gets really hungry he has a tendency to start snorting like a little piglet .... It is just too cute. Once the bottle is in his mouth he is ok again. LOL

I just wanted to share this with everyone. Hopefully I will have more pictures to post soon.

Dylan's Buddies Birthday Party

Well Dylan went to his buddies birthday pary yesterday. Oh my gosh...he had so much fun. We all had a good time. It was at Pizza Street out in Saint Peters. Here are some pictures......

Random Thought

Well I was just thinking how awesome it is to be a child. isn't it funny how when we are kids we are in such a hurry to grow up and be an adult. But once we get here we realize how awesome it was to be a kid. I started thinking this because Dylan came up to me this morning and told me he wanted to grow up and be big like Mommy & Daddy. I tried to explain to him how he shouldn't be in such a hurry. But of course he didn't want to her that. I told him it would happen faster than he knew it. I cant believe my little boy is about to be 5 (Oct.24) Do you ever wish you could stop time? If I had special power thats what I would do. I want to keep my kids little forever! Well and I don't want to get old.....LOL

Picture time.....

Hi everyone..... Today we all went and got our pictures taken at JC Penny. Ty was actually awake and he did really good. Dylan was the hard one at the pictures. Dylan is really shy and he wanted nothing to do with getting his picture taken but he did it.

Tomorrow Dylan gets to go to his best friend from school's birthday party. He is pretty excited.

Ty is growing so fast. Everyday he is getting bigger. It is so crazy how fast time flies by. It seems like just yesterday that Dylan was Ty's age. Ty is starting to be awake a little bit more. Its usually in the middle of the night when he decides he wants to be awake :) He is getting pretty good with his head now....at least it doesn't lean forward in his car seat in the car anymore...yay!!! HE is eating like a little piggy...:) he is eating about 4 oz. every 3 to 4 hours....and he is very demanding...he wants to eat when he wants to eat thats for sure.

Ok....well here are some pictures that have been taken over the last few days.....
Will post more soon.

YAY...He Did It!!!!

Hi everyone. As yu all know Dylan had his apt. to get his cast off his arm yesterday. I do have to say, as scared as he was before we went, he was really brave. But now he has to ware a brace that only goes up to his elbow and I can't get him to move his arm. He is still carrying his arm around like it was when it was in the cast. When I go to help him try to move his arm straight he freaks out and starts screaming that it hurts. I am just not sure how to make him get his arm straight. If anyone has any advise please leave me some :)

Well, I had another sleepless night, but I am starting to get used to it. Ty schedule is all mest up...some how now he stays awake from 12 am till about 2am.....We had him on a great schedule there for a while. He would sleep for most of the day then be awake from about 6pm to 9pm and sleep through the night except to eat but he would go right back to sleep. I am not to sure how it got all mest up but babies will be babies.....I just pray he will get back to that schedule again.

Well I posted some pics of Dylan and Ty...will post more soon :)

Dylan has his cast off!!! YAY!!!

Ty stretching

Like Father, Like Son
Do you see the resemblance?

Family Visit

Hi everyone. We went to Grandma's to visit family yesterday. Ty got to see his Aunt Chrissy and all of his cousins. He slept for most of the time and of course right when we were getting ready to leave he woke up. We had a good time though.
We had to go to the grocery store with Ty for the first time. Ty was amazed by all the lights in the store...it was so funny. (his facial expressions)
Well tomorrow is the big day...Dylan gets his cast off and Ty has his Dr. Apt. for his ultrasound to make sure his hips are ok since he was breech. Plus I have a dentist Apt. So it is going to be a busy day for us.
Well here are some pictures from our family visit yesterday...plus some extra ones.....

Will post more soon...

New Pictures

Here are some pictures of Ty taken yesterday. Some of these pictures Bryan and I think show a little of Ty's personality.
He has been growing so fast! I am trying to cherish every moment of this new born stage. This weekend we hope to get him out and take him to over to see family. I am really excited just to get out of the house. We miss everyone.
