Garrett's B-day

Garrett's Boy Toy

An ice cream cake was Garrett's cake of choice this year...

...and bowling was his activity of choice.

There was much anticipation concerning the outcome of each ball that was put into motion.

There were many looks of disappointment...

...and a few cheers and smiles...

...but all in all, a good day had by all:)

Snow

Could you imagine shoveling this driveway? Our big investment this year was a snow blower. It only came out once this year due to such a mild winter.

Ty's B-day

 For Ty's birthday we headed to BOOMERS. It's like a Chuckee Cheeses with games, a fun zone with slides, tubes and tunnels to climb in and some bounce houses. (ultimately a kid's paradise)

Here are a few fun facts about Ty:
Ty is now 4 years old.
He goes to preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and loves it!
He always has a smile on his face. His smile is contagious:)
His favorite color is red. (due to the red power ranger)
He is still a super hero at heart and fights crime 24 hrs a day.
He LOVES his action figures.
He loves to have FUN! FUN should be his middle name.
He speaks his own language and loves to make up words.
Instead of walking he's usually dancing to get from place to place.
He loves to groove to music.
He is WAY TOO attached to the TV.
He LOVES chocolate. 
He is a very picky eater except when it comes to sweets.
He gets scared easily and cannot be more than a few feet away from people.
Ty was completely against potty training but we made a deal. When he turned 4 it was time to wear underwear and use the potty. The day he turned 4, we put him in underwear as soon as preschool was over and he has been in underwear ever since. His first accident was 5 days after he started wearing underwear and happened while we were at church. He has had very few accidents. In fact a month after he started wearing underwear, we got rid of the pull-up at night and he has only had a couple night accidents.
Ty gives hugs and kisses away freely.
Ty is loved by everyone. (What's not to love?)
