Dave: Tyler has been picking his nose and trying to eat his boogers a lot lately. I keep catching him doing it.
Me: Dave, he's two. I think that's what a lot of two year olds do.
Dave: They say geniuses pick their noses and eat it. I think that's what Einstein did.
Good news is we apparently have a genius on our hands!
I was talking to Zac tonight and saying some words to him and I said "Dada" and he immediately said "Dada" back to me...oh my is this kid precious!
Jill and I ran our first half marathon last weekend! We crossed the finish line feeling pretty good for just running 13 miles and it was awesome to run it with my sister! We're thinking of making it a yearly thing. We really don't have any pictures because it was just the two of us that went. Dave was in Vermont that weekend for an overnight bike race. He did a race that went from 6pm until 6am and they had a team of four people that took turns doing laps on a mountain bike course for 12 hours. I guess when they were done they had to shoot paint balls and they didn't win the race, but they did win the paint ball shooting part. All that target practice with his Dad pays off I guess :) Next year we're hoping we can all get to Vermont for the race it's one of our favorite places!
We bought ourselves new head bands for the race. Here's the only pics we managed to take.
I snagged these from the photo site. I need to grab a few of Jill tomorrow to put up here.
On to some randomness...
We had a really rainy night last week so we headed to the mall to get all of us some new sneaks. Our mall has a play area for kids and a merry-go-round. Tyler loves the play area, but never ends up riding the merry-go-round. He gets on it and before it starts usually wants to get off. This night we ran in to his friend Julian from school and guess who happily went on the merry-go-round with his friend? Yeah, I was having a moment :)
And pushing his brother around for us, he actually did a really good job!
The first piece of Tyler's artwork hung in my cube. When my Mom retired in 2010 she brought home a paper bag frog that I made in 4th grade. She had it displaying in her office for that many years!
The weather is much cooler, which means Dad has one thing on his mind...he's beginning the "Great ski attempt of 2012" with Tyler pretty early this year. He's making progress. Tyler actually put the skis on and did some tricks for us.
Please bow your head...Sweet Baby Jesus, please let our kids like skiing and let Tyler get on his skis this year else I'm going to have to hear about this for the rest of my life. Amen.
We're getting our house blessed in a few weeks, I might ask the priest for a special blessing for these darn skis!
