Recent Pictures

Playing with his sis...supervised of course!

Warn out. Notice the fly swatter by her head...yes, Tye woke her up a couple seconds after I took the picture.

Showing off her sitting skills.

Brooke crawling

I can't believe I haven't updated the blog since October. Brooke has really grown up in the last two weeks. As seen in the video she started crawling and she is getting faster everyday. Today I was putting a load of wash in and here she comes trying to pull over the garbage at my feet. Definitely making changes around the house to make it safer for her. She also started sitting up well enough to walk away. She can go from sitting to crawling and vice versa without falling. A couple weeks ago she got her first two teeth on the bottom and is now working on the top two. She is still very easy going and happy the majority of time.

Trick or Treat

Our gorilla and his banana...Bob had to go to the BSU game on Halloween so we just hung out at home for the day. Adam and Beth came over for dinner (KFC - the guys choice). There was lots of trouble sharing between Austin and Tye but we managed to get through it. Some days are great and others just aren't. After dinner we went over to the Miller's for trick or treating. Tye warmed up quickly after realizing what he was getting at each door. We took a break for awhile and had snacks and watched the game. Then Marty and Bob took the bigger kids back out. Bob said Tye was running from house to house saying, "thanks" at the house. Then he would instantly say, "next house". It was a good Halloween!

Brody was precious as Yoda. His big brother was superman.

Showing us his treats.

Brooke enjoyed Trick or Treating.

Gannon went as a rock star like his Uncle Tyrone and Channing went as a Jaguar's cheerleader.

Tye and Gannon giving Brooke kisses.

Pumpkin Patch

We visited the pumpkin patch this year with the Engroff's. The kids had a good time but it got cold at the end. Tye was actually shivering so we went to have BBQ.

Tye & Austin

Watching the pig races.

Tye loving on his sister!

He has done it alone before but this time mom had to go with him.

Bo

Bo sleeping so close to Brooke he was touching her feet....he is such a good boy when it comes to the kids! He has become good buddies with our next door neighbor's dogs. He used to just stay in our driveway when we were out playing but now we open the door and he runs nextdoor. He actually will scratch on their front door until they let him in:)

Tye's picture book

I was putting dishes away the other day and realized that it got really quiet in the other room. I was wandering what Tye was up to as I walked in to the living room. He had gotten out his most recent photo album oma sent him, and was sitting on the couch looking through it while having a snack. It made me sad that he was probably missing all of his cousins.

Tye's new scooter

Tye got a new scooter this week...he was interested in working on it with his tools rather than riding it! He chose spiderman!
