A Visit from Gramma!

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 02:28:48 GMT

Gramma came for a visit!!!

We all had a great week with Gramma!

Our Trip Included:

The Tillamook Cheese factory
A petting zoo
Sea lion watching
Trolly riding
Sunday Market
Build A Bear Workshop
Tons of Fun!!!!!!!

The boys had a great time playing with Gramma and showing her all thier toys and books! During the week something very special happened.....JUDE POOPED ON THE POTTY---EVERY DAY!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! We teased Gramma that she could not leave now that Jude is potty trained, but he did well without her too. It was sad to see her go...especially that I had to wake up at 3:45 in the morning!! Two months and counting!!! See you in December!!!

Sea Lions!

On the trolly!

Building Sharp Tooth the T-Rex at Build-a-Bear

"My best buddies!" Sharp tooth and Baby Sharp Tooth

Dancin' with Gramma!

The boys are doing very well!

Jude loves playing pretend! He will use different voices for his cars, or dinos, or tools..whatever is handy. It is really fun to listen to those conversations! He also like dressing up like a sherriff, shooting the bad guys and taking them to "stinky" jail!

Tyson is into Everyting! He just wants to keep up with his brother! He is talking more and more every day. And he also does a few signs, wich helps us both not to be so frustrated!!

Playing in the big anchor!

Yay! Brother!!

Sherriff Jude...this is his serious face!

Can you take this seriously?

At the park!

Buddies!!

Zoo Trip

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:29:07 GMT

We went to the zoo with some friends and we had a wonderful time! The weather was great and we got to watch some of the animals do some really fun things. We also got to go to the special Dinosaur exhibit and it was really cool! The kids did really well, until the huge T-Rex roared and they decided to move rather quickly right on past. It was pretty funny to hear them all trying to convince each other that they were ok, holding each others hands ever so tightly!

It was a super day!

Ready to see the dinosaurs!

"Hi baby T-Rex!"

We had a great time staying in a yurt, going out on a boat, fishing and making campfires!

The big catch!

We have had a week at home...why you ask? Potty Training!!! We are successful with #1 but the other...well...don't ask!! Jude is wearing underwear, except to church or on long car rides, and is doing very well. So we went to the park this afternoon to celebrate (and well frankly a week of not going anywhere was driving me nuts!) and he stayed dry, then went for ice cream, he stopped in the middle of eating, and said he needed to go, so we went, I am so proud. We shall see what next week holds, hopefully I will not have to clean too much more poop out of underwear! This is for sure my least favorite job of parenting thus far!! Jude still loves to play pretend with his cars, lately he is very into using his tools and "fixing" them. He likes to use his "brench" (wrench) best of all, since that is what daddy used on Tyson's bed and he got to help. He loves to "help"! He loves to help me cook, he helps fetch things for Tyson, and throw his diapers away. He is a joy!

The best part of helping mom cook!

Fun at the park!

Tyson has learned a few new tricks! He loves to wave! When he wakes up in the morning he looks for his brother and waves to him and smiles and Jude always says good morning. He waves to his dad when he sees him and when he is leaving for work. He is learning how to roll a ball. When he picks it up he shows it to me, says, "b," puts it on the floor and gives it a little push. He loves for you to roll it back to him and repeat..big smiles all around! Of course Jude has to join in, fun for all. Oh ya, did I mention....He is CRAWLING! We have the gates up and we are getting used to our new little world. He is also pulling up on things and taking little steps...won't be long now! He loves to eat, he is eating a lot of what we eat, just smaller, he is not so into baby food...cheaper for us :)!

He loves to swing!

"Thanks for the ride!"

The boys at Easter!

It has been a while, so let's just catch up!

Jude...

What a talker...he never stops talking...even when he is asleep! He is very inquisitive. He wants to know why things are what they are, and where they came from too. He loves to play with his toy cars, he lines them all up and they all talk to each other about everything under the sun. He loves to read books, we sit and read book after book every night for about 20 to 30 min. before bed, depending on what Tyson is doing. Jude is very interested in street signs and lights. He lets us know when we need to stop, go, slow down, or just wait our turn. As a family we have been going to the pool for an hour on Wednesday mornings and he loves going. He likes to wear his "water jacket" (life jacket) and float around the lazy river. He is so much fun, we have our moments, and no he is not potty trained yet...still too scary to poop in the big ol' toilet, but hopefully we can have it figured out before he gets married!!! I would not trade him for the world!!!

Easter egg hunt at our house...

Friends Bridger, Jude, Jack and Leah

Easter morning...what a loot

with daddy at the beach

Tyson...

What a little sweetie...he loves his mommy! He is eating a variety of foods these days, not really into baby food meat (can't say that I blame him!). He is drinking out of a sippy cup and doing quite well. He is getting around on his bottom and tummy. He just goes backwards on his tummy, and scoots to where he wants to go on his bottom. He has the biggest smile...it melts your heart! He has two bottom teeth, and I think I saw a couple trying to make an appearance, so we shall see. He LOVES his brother...every time he sees Jude he just lights up... and Jude loves him too! They have started to play together a little more, which is fun to watch. He still loves his Johnny Jump up...which has been a life saver! He loves to clap and stomp and play patty cake...what a joy! I can't believe he will be 1 year old next month, the time sure flies!

Easter loot

At the beach!

We have been going to a beach where you can drive onto the sand. It works out perfectly because Jude and Jason go play, and Tyson and I stay in the van out of the wind. We just set the seats down and watch!

Fun in the sun...finally!

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:20:58 GMT

We have had some pretty good weather here lately, and that makes EVERYBODY happier! Jason is on graveyard, so he likes it when we get out of the house, and the boys and I needed some vitamin D...so we have been outside!

The story about the buttons....

I was in the kitchen doing dishes, and Jude really wanted to "help" cook. He loves to play pretend cooking at church and friends houses. So I made him a redneck stove out of a box we had, and gave him some pots, and a wisk. He wanted to cook water, but I did not want to clean up water, so I gave him a tin full of buttons I had (thanks Nanny). He made button soup, button cookies and button brownies. He had fun, and I could get some work done...by the way Tyson was far away from the buttons jumping happily in his Johnny Jump up!

The boys at the park...
