4 Months!!

I took Tyler to his 4 month check up today. He is just right for his age at 15lbs 14oz and 25 1/2 inches long. Of course he wasn't so excited about the shots, it is always sad when he is talking and smiling at me then they stick needles into his legs and he gets that sad look on his face and starts crying. He did pretty good with them though. Last time they didn't really effect him, I hope this time is the same. Right now he is sleeping, of course he has some Tylenol in his system so I hope he wakes up happy.
Brandon came with us and told Tyler he needed to be as tough as he was when he got his kindergarten shots. Tyler sure tried. I thought that was really cute of big brother Brandon. He also plugged his ears because he didn't want to hear Tyler cry when he got poked. He is such a good big brother. We love all of his help and love he shows to Tyler.
That is all I have for now, there will be more to come after I work out the details of our next big step in life.
TO BE CONTINUED........

We Love Spring!

We finally had a good weather day! We all have been waiting sooooo long. We decided to take a walk to the park. The boys got to enjoy the swings and we even "made some hoops" AKA played basketball. We are all excited to have at least one day of spring...to make it even better baseball season kicked off on Sunday.....

GO BRAVES!!!

Tyler loved the swings

WHEE....or as it is spelled by Brandon WII...silly boy!

Isn't he just the cutest Tyler?

The cutest Brandon, don't you agree?

Tyler's "Little Blankie"

For those of you who know Brandon at all, you know he has a Braves blanket that I made out of the scraps from a quilt I made for him, he calls it his little blankie and of course it is beat up and he has definetly gotten his use out of it. He informed me that I had to make Tyler his own becasue he wasn't going to give Tyler his, so I finally got Tyler's Blanket made for him this week. I decided to do the other thing that I love (other than the Braves)....you guessed it....MONKEYS! I found this way cute material one day at Joanns Fabrics. I couldn't pass it up. I was going to make his out of Chicago Bears, so we could support Andy's team too but I make them so I get to decide...just kidding, he just doesn't care so I made it out of this. I hope you can tell how cute it is from the picture. If not, don't worry I am sure if he is anything like Brandon you will see it at one time or another as he drags it around with him everywhere he goes.

I also decided to make him a vallance (not sure on spelling). It was actually Andy's idea because I had purchased too much material for just a blanket but not enough to make a quilt. I think it turned out pretty good too. Goes perfect with the jungle theme. I'll become a "Martha" yet!

Twins!?!

So we were going through some pictures at my mom's house a couple weeks ago and we came across a picture of my nephew Josh when he was little. I asked my mom who it was and she said Brandon...I told her that it couldn't be Brandon because it wouldn't be in the bottom of a box of old pictures. I thought the it looked a lot like Tyler, what do you think? It is crazy how much they look alike. Especially in these two pictures, they are both looking the same direction.

My little monsters...

We decided to have a little fun with the "scary teeth" that Brandon got from the FunPark a couple weeks ago while Aspen was here. We couldn't get over how funny Tyler looks! It gave us all a chuckle. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Too bad we didn't have 2 pairs so we could have taken a picture of both of them at the same time. I sure do love my monsters!
