Photoshoot!

My mom and I took the boys to get there pics taken because we didn't have any professional pics of the boys together. Also my mom wanted her framed portrait of Tyler so he matched the other grandkids. It was a real stressful day trying to get them to smile and we were exhausted by the time it was over. I wasn't to thrilled with how they came out particularly because the lady didn't try real hard to get Tyler to smile. It is what it is! Here are a few. Enjoy!

Love this crazy kid!

I tried taking some pics of Ty and he started acting all shy and stuck his tongue out at me! He just wasn't having it.

Karate Kid!

Jaden started Karate and of coarse, he loves it! He did so great following directions his first day even though he had no idea what to do or expect. He just went out there with the other 15 or so kids in his class and as he likes to say "I'll do my best mom." So cute!! He is also the youngest in his class, the others are between 4-6, so I thought he might be intimidated but nope he went out there like an old pro. This kid is shy but when it comes to sports he is soo confident. I wanted to cry because I cant believe how grown up he is getting.

Butterflies Alive!

We went to the Butterflies Alive exhibit in Santa Barbara with my mom and sisters. It was the coolest thing to watch these butterflies upclose. They are so beautiful. Jaden had so much fun carrying around the little butterfly info guide and showing us each butterfly and letting us know what they were called. Ty was fascinated as I let the butterflies flutter on his face. So cute! :)

Tyler turns 1!

My baby turned one on August 12, but I'm a little late on posting. I can't believe how fast he is growing into a little boy. :( He is such a happy little baby so full of life and sunshine. He brings so much joy to our lives.

Some facts about Ty:

He weighs 22 lbs. and is in the 50% and is in the 25% for height. Little guy surprisingly.

He can walk holding on to furniture but is still a little hesitant to let go and stand or walk on his own.

He can say mama, dada, uh-oh, ball, "this" (while pointing to something) and can do a couple of baby signs.

He can throw a ball like a rocket.

He loves to bully his brother and wrestle with him.

He is a screamer and has a good set of lungs.

He's a daddy's boy!

He is very smart and understands pretty much everything we say.

He has a temper and is quite stubborn at such a young age. :)

He loves his big brother and watches everything he does.

We just love our little Ty!
