Thanksgiving and finished pool

This is a surprising photo. They were wearing matching monster truck shirts and that seemed to bond them!

Cats out of the bag - or Tyler the crib

Tyler woke up really early this morning and was making a lot of noise playing in his crib. He must have woke Zac up and Zac got tired of staying in his own room so he went in Tyler's room to play with him. They've done this the last two mornings and it's really cute to listen to them giggling together.

All of sudden though, Tom and I just stopped what we were doing and looked at each other. Tyler's voice wasn't on his monitor anymore. He was out of his crib! He's never done that before. I went running up the stairs and found both boys on their way downstairs! I said to Zac "How did your brother get out of his crib?"

Zac smiled and very proudly told me: "I told him to just swing his leg over the side"

Happy Halloween!

Tyler turned 2 on October 29th. He had the swine flu the poor guy but he was still willing to pose on his new fire truck couch!

He looks sick standing over his frosted brownies!

But they sure tasted good!

The boys carving pumpkins. Tom decided to make one a pig in honor of the swine flu!

Zac was a Ninja

Tyler was Nemo and we couldn't get his costume on him before Halloween. That night though, he seemed to know what was going on and put it on without a problem! He was a trooper! He walked right up to each house and said "trick or treat" and "thank you" every time! The boy will do anything for candy!


Here they are trying to trick or treat from Grandma and Grandpa at their own house!
Checking out their loot the next morning...

Zac on the canoes
It was a much different experience than the last couple of years! It was actually chilly this year! Only about 55 degrees and overcast! Usually we sweat like there is no tomorrow! It was a nice change. Incredibly expensive however, I think we'll opt for Six Flags next year!

Weekend at the Lake

We traveled out to Longview, TX to stay with my friend Jacki's parents on Lake Cherokee over the weekend. They have two girls who are the same age as Zac and Tyler so we all had a great time!
