Baby Ty's First Year

I am so behind on my blogging!  My kids turned 1 and 3 in March!  Birthday posts will be updated soon.  In the meantime, here is a little update of Ty's first year.  Love that little boy!

Little Learners Preschool

Tanner does a little "JoySchool" type preschool one a week with some neighbor friends his age.  The moms take turns teaching.  It is a lot of fun!  Today was my turn to teach.  We learned about "F" and Farms.  We talked about the different animals that live on a farm and did some crafts after a little snack.  I had to snap some pictures because these kids are just too cute!  (There are usually 4 kids but we had one not here today)

Growing so fast!

Baby Ty is growing SO FAST!!!  He is just shy of 8 months and he is such a hot shot :) He crawls all over the place and even pulls himself up on furniture these days.  What a silly!  He will stand up on anything (even if it only stands a couple inches off the ground) so he is in a standing/crawling position... so funny!  He sure is Mr. Social and loves to play with his brother. 

Tanner vs. Ty

I think it's so fun to compare pictures of my boys.  You can tell they are brothers but they look so different!

Here they both are at 4 months.

Just some fun pics I took the other day of Ty.  I can't resist :)  He is just too cute. 

Our Yard

Mike and I have been working so hard on our yard this year!  We even bought some trees the other day to plant (pictures to come).  It has been such a fun place to hang out this summer.  Here are just a few pics:

Our fun slide

Even more fun with a pool at the bottom :)

Our garden

Tanner's mischievousness.  Pushing the button that turns on the sprinkler to the garden.

Cute summer toes :)

Independence Day

A tradition for us is the Logan Fireworks.  We've gone to them since we were dating.  We sit up on the HYPER the same field where Mike proposed :)  Anyway, this year we went with Angie and Rob and their kids (also a tradition) and Ashley and Dan and their kids.  They loved playing together and doing sparklers.  Mike was the "responsible" adult who lit the sparklers for them with his flame thrower (don't ask).

My sister Emily, my mom, and I stayed up until wee hours of the morning sewing matching patriotic shirts for our family.  Here are the ones I did for my little family (The boys didn't want cutesy shirts so they got Walmart ones :)  still cute)

For the actual 4th we went to Burley and played in the yard ALL DAY!  It was a total blast!  The kids played on the slide and had a total blast.

Our personal parade :)
