February Fun

I am a little behind with the blogging...but here are some pictures from the last month or so. Of course they aren't in any particular order since I keep forgetting to download them in an order that makes sense :)

Tyler watching the superbowl:

The kids with Trev pre Super Bowl
Awe..this was really sweet. Lindsay was tired and Tyler called me into the office to show me how he made a little bed for Lindsay. he was rubbing her back for her to help her fall asleep..I love these little moments between them :)

Grandma and Grandpa bought Tyler this cool racetrack for his matchboxes.

Tyler up close with his 'crazy' smile:

Me and Shanna...around 1:30 in the morning..getting tired!

A bit earlier in the night....some of our new neighbors. The girls went out and the guys came to our house for poker.

Linsday loves to play with the little kitchen..especially the microwave.

She loves her hair down and in her face..I can't figure that one out!

SNOW!

We got our first snow last week! Here are some pics from the kids outside in it. It was Lindsay's first time in snow :)

Tyler was SO excited to try out his sled from Santa. We have a few small hills behind our home that worked perfect for a 3 year old

Lindsay didn't want to walk in it.
Big Smiles!

The kids in the sled..being pulled around by daddy:

Fun times in January

So far we have had a fun year. We have had birthday parties to go to for the kids, watched football games, and other good times. Below are some pics from the last few weeks.

Tyler & Lindsay earlier this week. Poor Tyler got scraps on his face...still not sure what happened though....

Awe, they are too cute!
What a great big brother!

Lindsay loves to put food in a bowl and carry it around snacking on it. Here's a shot of her in the kitchen carrying around her little bowl:

I had a stomach bug the other week. So I stayed up in my room and worked from home a bit. Tyler insisted on coming up and sitting with me for a bit. He brought in his pillow, blanket and stuff that he needed to do his own 'work':

Still doing his 'work'...very serious :) He can write a few letters now...has mastered the letter 'T'

Christmas 2008

Christmas was really fun in our home this year. We had visits from Tracy & Nicole, Trev's parents and friends over for Xmas eve. Tyler was very into all of the Christmas activities and was looking forward to Christmas morning. Here are some pics from Xmas Eve and Xmas.

The week before Xmas..waiting for Santa to come on the fire truck. Tyler and I went together. It was FREEZING and Santa was 40 mins late!! but we had tons of fun!

Tyler helping to make fudge with mommy...he did a great job!

What a good helper.

Stirring the fudge...

This was too funny. We got donuts from our visit with Tracy & Nicole. The next day, I caught Tyler performing surgery to carefully remove the chocolate off of one of them...

Another angle of the operation..

Its Beginning to Look a lot like Xmas!!

Well, we have started to get ready for Xmas. And what a fun xmas it should be. Tyler is soo excited for Santa to come. He seems to really understand it....especially the part about him wanting a scooter, skateboard, bike, and snowboard...ummm...we will see how that goes :) Tyler is definately making xmas extra fun this year with his excitement for everything!!

Here are some pics from this weekend. I attempted to get a pic for the xmas cards that I am very late on getting together..opps!
