Poor little Ty has such a different "first" experience than his crazy sis

Making our ornaments

Last week we went to Paint the Town to continue our tradition of making our own ornaments. I met my girlfriend and her two little one's and we had a good time. Still more work for mom but I figure in a few years we'll be able to sit back and drink coffee and chat while the kids do it haha. It was fun though and captured some good hand and foot prints on the kids.

Lia and Catie having a great time. Lia I think loved the taste of that paint :)
Ty settling back in after his foot was tickled (sorry Lanei wasn't there yet so couldn't do the painting and take pics at the same time :)

Lanei painting with her girls

Syd ever so patiently waiting to leave after she left her handprint.

A few first...

A few first to share:

Well Ty's been in his bumbo before but I was practicing some lighting on my camera
First time in outside saucer. Wasn't sure what to think...

Ok these next two are backwards but this is after our first pooh in the potty!!!

Focus...focus....so determined to get her sticker, she got two for this

This wasn't his first time in the bumbo but I was working on my camera lighting and was too cute to pass up

Not sure what to think...
I like it as long as I can eat my "B" with it

Look Syd will show you how to do it....poor little abused brother haha

Port Townsend

Well unfortunately I forgot my freaking camera!!! But gma didn't so will try to get some pics from her at some point. We just spent the weekend away with the Herzog clan. It was a good weekend with the whole family. It was interesting sleeping with both of the kids in the same room but for the most part they did just fine. Syd came down with a cold there so she was a bit extra whiney but did well considering. She had so much fun with her cousins. Auntie Melissa bought her a baby stroller for xmas so we took it with us and the cousins would buckle her in and wheel her around like a crazy lady and she just loved it. The wind blowing in her 'hairs' it was hilarious. Both the kids got so many wonderful gifts, they are loved that is for sure. I think it's gonna take Syd a full year to explore all of her new toys she has already received and to come.

Santa visit

On Friday we went to visit Santa. Got everyone dressed and headed to the dreadful mall. Santa needs to find better places to be because it seems like everyone is always at the mall!!! But it was worth this shot for sure. Ty just kept his eyes on us and you can see both of their little hands are all bunched up. I think it's a security thing for them. If I bunch my hand this will all end soon...haha We put Syd on Santa's lap last and she almost broke down but Scott and I were being overly dramatic with OMG you are on Santa's lap....WOW!!! Over and over and over hoping to get a good shot. So we got two not sure kiddos with Santa and that was fine by us. These pictures are always wonderful to have over the years.

December - Time to decorate

It's freezingggg cold here. We got a tree last night and my poor kiddos almost froze. Syd was running through the trees kinda stiff like and my face froze so I couldn't keep telling the guy helping us that I didn't like that one...and that one...and that one haha. We bundled little Ty Ty up nice and snug with me and put Syd's puffy coat on and headed to our tree farm very close to us. It was lots of fun and we ended up with a grand fir. We usually get the doug firs but they didn't have any nice ones (face wasn't frozen by this point). They trimmed it up for us and it's beautiful in the house. Next is to decorate...... Good times, love xmas!!!

Off we go all bundled up

At home with the new tree all set up

Scotty letting them know how to cut it

Starting our adventure

Momma and Snuggly Ty

Daddy and Syd

Tyler rolling over - Yeah!!!

Little man rolled over the other day from tummy to back. Not sure he has a clue what he did but he's done it a few times now. So exciting :) I tried not to do the cheerleader crazy lady like I did with Syd but be sure I did it behind the cameras haha
