Snow after Church

When we left for church yesterday it was not snowing. In fact it was a nice day, I even wore sandals. When we came out of church we found it had snowed. Of course when we got home Courtney scarfed down lunch and was out playing in the snow before I was even changed. The snow was perfect for big snow balls. She and Tyler ended up rolling quite a few of them and making a fort with them.

It wasn't very big. Tyler barely fit in there, but they still enjoyed themselves.I'm afraid that yesterdays snow was probably the last snow fall of the season. The kids love the snow, but I'm ready for warmer weather. Who's with me?

Tylers new favorite toy

So Tyler has recently discovered Lego's and he just loves them. He got some for his birthday and Christmas. He took the camera and took pictures of what he had made. I like how he set it all up and has the helicopter flying and everything.

Now the truck is bringing the helicopter somewhere. He has so much fun with them!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Tyler had his 6th birthday yesterday. I can't believe he is already 6. It was such a crazy busy day, but he said it was the best day!

He got Geo Trax from us. He was so excited. I should have recorded it so you could see his reaction!

He had a birthday party with 3 friends. They had a great time. They first played pin the tail on the wolf that Courtney made for them to play. They had a great time with it. Thanks for making the wolf Court. Then they played feed Scooby-Doo. Then of course you have to have a pinata, followed by presents and cake and ice cream. Tyler loved it and was so excited to have his friends over!

Thank you Jack, Ryker and Matthew for coming to Tyler's birthday party!

Happy Birthday my favorite boy! (I can say that since I only have 1 boy!)

Stamping Tyler

Whew, I guess I had more posts then what I thought. I hadn't posted for awhile because I didn't think I had anything to post about. I downloaded the pictures from my camera and realized I had more then I thought.

So I spend alot of my time in my office. It has two of my favorite things: Stamps and the computer. When I'm stamping Tyler and Sydney both think they need to stamp too. Yesterday Tyler and I were stamping When he said he was done he showed me his picture and this is what I saw. I just had to take a picture of him. How on earth do you get the ink pad on your cheek and lip?

Tyler is very talented! Nice blue on the face. Yes it did come out!

Special Tyler

Tyler is in kindergarten this year and at his school they have a character trait that they focus on for a month. Each class picks one student that meets that trait. Well this month his teacher chose him. The trait was tolerance meaning he sees that people are different and accepts them for who they are. We are so proud of this little boy of ours. They have an assembly for the school and present them with a certificate. I picture of him getting the certificate isn't great, buy you get the general idea.
Way to go my very special boy!!!

Good bye tomatoes!

A couple of weeks ago we were going to have our first freeze and I didn't want my tomatoes to just die so Sydney and Tyler helped me pick the tomatoes. They had so much fun doing it. Our plant was out of control. I got it at Costco and it grew so good. I don't know if it was the plant or the place we planted it. Either way the plant was awesome except for the fact it was a yellow tomato plant. Note to self: Look at what type of plant it is before you buy it. I wasn't even thinking when I bought it. That's ok because we discovered yellow tomatoes are just as good. Here is a picture of the plant. The one on the left in the cage is the cherry tomato plant. Again look to see what kind of plant it is before you buy it. The other plant is just one plant!

My huge Zucchini plants that I couldn't keep up with!

My trusted helpers!

They had so much fun! The plant was so big and the soil was muddy that I would pull part of the plant off and hold it up and Tyler and Sydney would pick all the tomatoes off for me. It's a good thing we picked them all because it froze that very night. Good thing we have weathermen to worn us about these things.

Tyler has a new friend!

Monday Tyler came home from Kindergarten wanting to play with a girl in his kindergarten class named Jesica. I had no idea who Jesica was and no way of getting hold of her. Tuesday I gave Tyler a piece of paper to bring to school to get Jesica's phone number. So he came home yesterday with her phone number and we called to see if she could play. Her mom said yes and that she would bring her over in about 1 1/2 hours. Tyler was mad because he wanted her to come over now. Tyler is just so fun to tease, so I kept asking him if Jesica was coming and is she is his girlfriend. He would get so embarrassed that he had to hide his face.

So when she came over he was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself. He went outside to play and forgot to bring her along. They finally got things figured out and played outside most of the time. They had a great time on the trampoline.

Tyler is jumping like a robot.

All in all they had a great time playing with each other. He has great taste because Jesica is really cute and fun to play with. When it was time for Jesica to go home they literally gave each other about 20 hugs. What a cute couple they make!!! And if Tyler could read he would kill me for posting this stuff, so don't tell him!

p.s. Jesica's mom told me that Jesica came home from school with a secret. She said she gave Tyler a kiss on the forehead or cheek, I can't remember. Tyler gets mad when you talk about it though. I think it's just because he is way to embarrassed!
