egg decorating

I got this great idea from pinterest to use double sided adhesive circles and glitter to create no-dye polka dot Easter eggs. Well, I didn't think this one through, and the activity turned messy real fast. Glitter was everywhere and Ty was not able to complete the simple task as I imagined in my head. Let's just say that we aborted the idea very quickly and decided to let him draw on the hard boiled eggs with crayons. Next year, we will be using dye.

The boys love their workbench. Thanks again Grammy for the Christmas gift!

egg hunt

 We got together with our good friends for an Easter Egg Hunt; the kids had so much fun!

Ty really embraced the idea of collecting eggs and putting them in his basket.

It has been fun to watch Ty and his friends grow up over the past few years.

Thanks girls for making this journey so much fun!

ten months

Oz is ten months old and is still quite the chunk. I love it! I get a good workout hauling him around. Since he was nine months old, he has been able to scoot on his bottom or reach for things and pull while laying on his tummy. For the past few weeks, he has been army crawling, perfecting the art with each day. A week ago (March 16th) he began crawling on his knees. Hooray! He is already moving around a lot more than Ty ever did at his age. He is so curious and wants to be where all the action is; wherever Ty is.

toes

My mom and I went and got pedicures yesterday. It's fun getting spoiled! Check out my cool paint job on the right. The first time my mom ever had a pedicure was before my wedding. She thought is was weird for someone else to touch your feet, but now she is addicted.

nine months

Oz is 9 months old and time is flying by so quickly.

He weighs 25 lbs. 10 0z. and is 31 in. long. What a big boy!

He rocks on his knees and is trying to master the crawling position.

I have a feeling he will be everywhere once he figures out how to get around.

2 1/2 years old

Ty is two and a half years old. I love how he says, "hello mommy!" when I walk into his room in the morning or after a nap. It is so tender when he randomly gives Oz a hug and says, "lub you Oz!" Ty is so good at sharing toys with Oz. In fact, he is good at sharing in general. He enjoys the letters of the alphabet and knows all of them very well. He even turns some upside down and can tell what they are. For instance, an M upside down is a W. Ty likes to greet Allan when he comes home from work by running to the front door saying, "daddyyy!" We love Ty so much, even when he is having a terrible two attitude.
