May Update

May was a busy month!  How did we fit it all in?  Taking care of a busy 2 year old and 2 month old is a lot of work!  But we still managed to have some fun.... a lot of fun actually!

Ty was blessed at the beginning of the month and so we did a mad dash to get everything ready for company to come over.  Mike's parents offered up there old dining room table and Mike and I snatched it!  Mike and I stripped the old finish (a dark cherry wood) and painted the chairs and table legs white.  I also found some fun new fabric for $3/yd on clearance to re-upholster the chairs.  I LOVE my new table!  It was a lot of work but well worth it!  I do not have before pictures (big oops on my part...just completely spaced it) but here are some after pictures of my new dining room table!

After the blessing it was time to celebrated my birthday!!  My birthday was on a Thursday and Mike took Friday off and we went to the zoo.  It was so much fun!  We got to see the elephants and Tanner got to try the Carousel which he loved.

Tanner absolutely LOVES Ty and it makes me so happy.  He is always making sure Ty is happy and giving him toys and things.  They are cute brothers.  When Ty is in his crib Tanner supplies him with toys to play with.  So cute :)   Also this month we had a big milestone of getting rid of Tanner's binky!!!  It was not as hard as I thought it would be and he has done great without it.  One morning I just asked if he wanted to throw his binky away and he said yes and went and grabbed it and threw it in the garbage.  The garbageman came in the big truck and took it away and that was that.  We had a few rough nights but after that it has been great!  And Tanner is talking so much more without having the binky around.  May was a good month!
