Tyler is 3!

It's hard to believe Tyler is 3! It just seems like yesterday we were meeting him for the first time. 

Some current favorites:

Hanging out in his "camper" which means lying in our bed with every pillow stacked around him watching Despicable Me ( Pickle Meat) with his milk. 

Playing in the tub for as long as we will let him. 

Wrestling with Collin...constantly! They can't keep their hands off each other!

P-skedie aka spaghetti 

Yelling out orders and "I wants" without a thought of a please or thank you. 

He loves preschool and all of his friends. He was recently invited to his first and second birthday party. Goes to school twice a week for 2 1/2 hours each day. 

We had a family birthday party at the house. 

And took him to Olive Garden on his actual birthday. And what did he eat? Pee-skedie! They brought out the cake and sang happy birthday which he loved.

 

Then we went home and open gifts in bed! Lol!

Good birthday! Next up is Collins 7th  birthday in a week!

January 2013

January is a big month for us! Both the boys have birthdays and that's a big deal in this house!
Tyler turned 2 on the 13th and Collin turned 6 on the 23rd. Ten days apart is rough when it comes to the birthday party thing, on top of the fact that its right after Christmas and its winter. Options are limited and costly. I see half way birthday parties in our future!

Tyler chose Minelli's for spaghetti.

Collin had a party at Locker Soccer. He collected over $400 in donations for the Mayan Families sport program instead of getting gifts.

And then we had a Playgroup birthday party which is always lots of fun!

Tyler got to get his wiener wacked (aka circumcision) Good fun! I'm certain it is more painful for us than it is for him. The poor kid had to wait for 2 years to grow out of his "fat pad".

BEFORE

AFTER

Doesn't look too bad does he?

Tyler started soccer which he LOVES! And he is very coordinated. A natural kicker. He can dribble the ball like he's 12 rather than 2.

We had some big messes-okay...a lot of big messes!

And spent some quality time with Meme

a pretty good month!

2013 Highlights

Clearly all of my self loathing about being a bad blogger has made absolutely no difference in my ability to keep up. So, no more apologizing! I know I suck (lol) so I will leave it at that. I'll do what I can, when I can.

It's amazing all that comes with the second child. I sometimes feel sorry for poor Tyler sometimes because Collin got 100 percent of my attention and it doesn't seem Tyler is getting the same. I used to have time to sit down at the computer and blog every little detail of life but not anymore. Collin's beginning was so well documented-Tyler...not so much! Ugghh-there I go again! Enough! On with our year!

I'm breaking it into months so its not such a huge overwhelming job. Thanks for keeping up!
