Sweets

Gramma Looie & Grandpa Tom came to visit. We frosted cut out cookies and Gramma & Connor made a gingerbread house. No shortage of sweets around here this week!

Saturday's Company

Got to have Jeremy and family on their way back from Joel & Mariah's wedding. Managed to get Brian's deer in the family picture somehow... thought that was funny. And yes guys it is finally upstairs where it belongs ; )

Breakfast w/ Champions?!

This was my breakfast date the other morning. Hard to take him too seriously when he's garbed like this!

Ty was soon roped into wearing the helmet. This is one of the happier pictures... there was a lot of tugging on the straps (apparently not as pleased as his brother was to have it on).


Another morning last week. They were thrilled to see each other that morning and set up camp on the floor outside their room where they played for awhile. Thought it was cute... guess I'm the Mom tho.

Mom, Amanda & Dad


Being Cheesy


Grandma Looie reading the boys stories... not sure who's having more fun : )


Ty loves his books... and Connor was waiting his turn


This is what we found going up the stairs! Ty would have been content if we'd just left him alone with the steps the whole trip. Unfortunately for him, the higher he got this time, the lower his pants dipped. Poor guy!

Ty's 1st Birthday

Ty's cake before demolition : )


Pretty happy about this whole frosting thing.


How'd my hands get so messy?


Lots of palm sucking going on.


Cake


Toys



Ty wasn't the only one w/ a messy face. Here is Connor after licking the beaters : )




Here is how we ended the night.... in jammies on the rocking horse. Ty discovered Connor's old horse and was thrilled to get lots of rides from his brother. The pictures w/ Connor in it were too blurry to post... can't imagine why!!

Cake Anyone?

Ty had his first birthday party at Gramma Chris's when everyone was home for Thanksgiving. It was very cute and low key... he liked the singing and cake a lot (as you can see below). Thanks for the birthday party everyone and thanks Aunt Lana for the adorable birthday cake!

He wasn't sure what to think of the candle blowing part... good thing big brother knew what to do!

Now here he knew what to do : ) Nummy cake!


Appetizing?!!

Fred Bear or Elmer Fudd?

Here's our big hunter. I love how his feet can't reach the stand : ) He thought it was pretty cool to be just like Daddy... although Brian's stand is usually a little more than 4 feet off the ground!
