October

We're back!  We have had such a busy summer and fall.  So many things to blog about, but no time.  I got an itch to blog the other day, so here I am.  Don't worry, I won't go back the last six months and post old photos (maybe)...I am just starting fresh!
 As you can see, Tyler, who is now 10 months old, has gotten pretty big!  He still doesn't really crawl on his knees, but he gets around really quickly and stands up all the time.  I think he will just start walking some day soon.
 Speaking of big...Alex is now in Kindergarten and he LOVES it!  He is always telling me things he learned, asking how to spell words, or asking what words are.  I think he is one of the only people I have met that probably thinks the weekend is two days too long!
 Tyler and Gramma.
 Daddy and the boys.  They all love to climb on things, us, each other... such boys!
 Pumpkin time!  We really didn't get any good pumpkin patch pictures this year, but I think these will do.
 Happy Kids!
 "Hmm...How can I chew on this?"
 Again, we had our annual pumpkin party.  Here is Nanny enjoying some nibbles.
 Andie, all dressed up for a party, and rocking out on the piano.
 The roller coaster is still a favorite with the kids.
 The kids had fun painting their pumpkins.  I think that is much more their speed.
 Master Carver Martin working on Olaf.
 "Um, Fredy, I think your pumpkin has warts!"
 Dad, Mom and Dave hanging out.
 Bailey watching her grandpa carve his pumpkin.
 Moms and babies.
 Me and Grandma!
 The hosts!
 Alex and Gramma watching Grampa carve a pumpkin.
 Tyler with Aunt Paula and GG.
 "Are you learning or supervising, Andrew?"
 Yeah!  Go Giants!  We are the smart fans in the household!
 Stephen tickling Emilie.
 Me and Amy with baby boy number two on the way!
 The kids loved seeing the jack-o-lanterns lit.
 Trying to get all the kids in one picture was fun!
 Here is the "scary" face picture!
 The Bese Family.
Showing off their little painted pumpkins.
 This year we were too busy to carve our pumpkins at the party, so we carved them on Halloween.
 My first boo!
 Cleaning out pumpkin guts.
 More guts!
 Cheese!
 Alex wanted a Spiderman spider.
 Our little Superman.
 Three superheroes!
 A bird, A plane, A super-baby!
 And now the little one is standing...we are in trouble.
Brothers having fun together.
"Hey, who put this here?"

Tyler is 3 (plus) Months!

 Little Tyler loves his bath time.  Here he is blowing bubbles- a new pastime.
 This is actually Andrew at about 2 1/2 Months.  Do you think they look alike?
 Smiley baby- he is starting to play a lot more with toys.
 Ok, this is Andrew again (could you tell?)
 Tyler loves to stick out his tongue.
 Two of the three brothers.
 Got a cute one of Tyler and Dad one morning.
More serious face, but he loves his swing (sometimes- he either loves or hates it).  But, he always needs his giraffe or something to cuddle with.

Weekend with the Jacobs Family

Last Saturday Stephen, the boys and I, Mom and Dad all went to help Chris and Dave install a drip system to help water the plants in their beautiful new backyard.  We stayed for an early dinner too and had a great time.  The boys were so worn out that they fell asleep on the way home at 5:30 and stayed asleep until the next morning!

 Andrew was being Mr. Helper.  He loves helping to cook in the kitchen and he wanted to help Grandma with the kabobs!
 Alex was helping too- helping Grandpa with the irrigation.
 Andrew and Grandma.
 On Sunday, we went to Mike and Kissten's house for an early Easter celebration with the family.  We had a great time.
 Kissten and Peyton.
 The buddies Peyton and Andrew.
 Calen and Andrew.  I worry that these two will some day get into a little trouble together.
 The six cousins.
 Of course, you never get them to all look at once.
 The kids table.  It is getting crowded!
 Hunting for Easter eggs.
 "Did you find them all?"
 Andrew was going to town finding eggs.
 Got another one!
 Gma even brought cookies to decorate...
and eat.
