Tyler turns 3!

We celebrated Tyler turning three with a birthday party at Bounce U! Tyler has been asking to have his birthday there and this was his first party inviting friends from school. We all had a good time! I think the parents have as much fun as the kids at this place!

And after the party on Saturday we got to ride bikes for a little bit. It was 50 degrees outside! Rare for this January birthday kid!







And of course even with all of the toys he got, he wanted to read his new books. He loves to read!



For his birthday on Monday we had a little cake and celebrated with just the four of us. Unfortunately, on Sunday Tyler got sick and has been out of school all week. So, he's been on and off all week with how he's been feeling, but that didn't stop him from having a good birthday!

Hot dog, soft pretzel, cheese and pirate booty. Perfect birthday dinner!











Trying on his new Spiderman rain boots!



Happy Birthday Tyler love you so much!

Moments...

One day when our kids have jobs and make lots of money maybe they'll read some of these things and think "We should send Mom and Dad on a week vacation to a tropical island". Get it boys? Remember this stuff and how I'm slowly seeing more and more greys poke through my nice brown hair. I've never dyed my hair. I might be getting closer to the day. :)

Zac woke up one morning and I put him in bed with me and we were cuddling so nicely, then he coughed a little and threw up in my face. Thank goodness he cute.

One morning I was getting ready for work and Tyler, Zac and I were all in our little bathroom together. Tyler just went pee and hopped off the toilet only to have Zac come right up behind him and start splish splashing in the toilet water. ugh. Sometimes I get to work at 8 and feel as if I already ran a marathon. And when Zac sees the toilet paper roll it's like the heavens light up and he charges towards it like no other. He can unroll that puppy in under 2.5 seconds I swear and then eats the toilet paper. I don't remember Tyler being so infatuated with toilet paper.

This past Sunday, Zac rolled down our stairs. Thank goodness he was perfectly fine and that we only have 5 stairs. He was just a little startled and had a tiny fat lip. It's not even like he was left alone or we weren't watching him. This crap happens so fast it's unbelievable. But Good God did it scare us. Two minutes later he was climbing back up the stairs and Dave and I were still trying to get our hearts back to a regular rhythm. After this happened, Dave and I found out that every parent has a story to share like this. Thank goodness other parents are willing to share their moments too.

Yesterday morning, I was putting Zac in the car and Tyler was standing behind the car. He's always curious as to what the exhaust is coming out of the car on cold mornings, but he knows not to go near it. He started coughing and choking a little out of nowhere. I ran over to him and asked if he breathed the smoke in and he said no, but then I was freaking out that he did and something was going to happen. Who worries about this kind of stuff? ME. I work with nurses and the stuff I come in ask ask them probably has them one step away from admitting me to the looney bin.

In good news, I attempted to get a picture of the boys to put in frames in their rooms. Here's what I got :)















And some fixing with Dad



And then Tyler came walking down the stairs tonight and had tools tucked in his underwear. After a little while he said "Dad, look at my tool belt!". I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he said "one of these like Dad" it was a voltage meter. :)

Look who's walking!

He may not be doing laps quite yet, but this weekend Zac decided to start walking! :)

Fun in the snow!

It's been pretty cool because Tyler is really in to playing in the snow. We spent 3 hours at at time outside just playing, sleigh riding, pulling Tyler around and pushing him as fast as we can down our little hill. I love it! Zac got to go in the snow for the first time too! And Tyler decided to hoard munchkins in his clubhouse :) Tyler isn't in a lot of pictures because he didn't really have time to stop and say cheese and Zac had a million pictures here because I can't decide on just one of that sweet face!
