Zac's first day of his 3rd year of preschool!

Fun in Mississippi

We went to Columbus, MS for Labor Day weekend to visit my brother and his family. My Mom flew down to Dallas and drove over with us. We rented a pontoon boat one day, went swimming on the AFB pool and had fun watching the cousins play together!

Grandma with Tyler and Isabel. Yes, that's Tyler in pink - it actually looks great on him!
Zac was ready to try kneeboarding but Tom got nervous that he wouldn't let go of the rope so he didn't get to do it. Maybe next year.

But I was actually the first one to pull it off!!!

Late Night Fun

Tyler started getting sick yesterday. He had a REALLY runny nose all day and threw up a couple of times just because of all the mucus. He woke up around midnight and sounded really strange. Tom went up and we realized that he had croup but he wasn't breathing normally either. We tried giving him a nebulizer treatment but he wasn't breathing in enough to get the benefit and he was becoming unresponsive. We ended up calling 911 and thankfully the operator told us to put him on his back and that ticked him off enough that he started to cry. The crying got him breathing a little better so that was a huge relief. He ended riding to the ER in an ambulance. They did a chest x-ray just to be sure and that was clear. He got a breathing treatment there and an oral steroid which really seemed to help. He is doing better this morning and we are very relieved!

Now, both of the boys have had their chance to experience an emergency ambulance ride so hopefully that means we are done with that now!

Fun with Friends

We had some friends over Sunday afternoon and the kids had a BLAST! Zac and Tori are 6 weeks apart and Kati and Tyler are about 6 weeks apart as well!

This is the boys watching Wall E and LAUGHING when he introduces himself to Eva - for some reason!

The Boys Photos 4-09

We had these photos taken back in April of this year but I don't think I ever posted any of them. A little late but they are cute!

Sounds like...

I was down on the floor playing with Tyler this afternoon when he decided he wanted me to sit on the foot of the chair. He can be very demanding when he wants a person in a certain place right now - it's quite funny. One of his favorite words is "Move".

So, he was pointing to the ottoman and trying to tell me to sit up there. I said to him "ottoman" so that he would learn what it was called and he stopped and looked at me for a second. Then he pointed to the candy dish on the counter and said "Please......M&M's". Apparently the word ottoman sounds like M&M's to a 21 month old!

Vacation at Seneca Lake, NY

Zac got to tube with his cousins Brett and Alex
Aunt Kim helped him fish
Hector Falls was literally two cottages away from ours!
Grandpa, Grandma Pam and Grandma Gail all came down to visit us for a day while we were at the lake.

It never got above 80 degrees for the two weeks that we were in NY! A very refreshing change from the 110 degrees that we will return to in TX!
