9.30.11 - Ty's 2yr Dr. Appt

Better late than never...it was only 2.5 months late.  

As it turned out he has bronchitis and needed an Rx.  JOY!

9.29.11 - Jalen's Favorite

 

Maybe because he can relate to it so much at the moment.  

9.28.11 - Brotherly Love

Fun, except that it's a pillow fight with our couch pillows.

9.27.11 - Puzzle or Building Blocks

Who cares as long as you're having fun!

9.26.11 - Finally!

 

After 10 years our dog fence gave out on us and it 

wasn't long before Lucy was visiting everyone 

in the neighborhood.  It took us much longer to replace 

the system and get it up and running. 

9.25.11 - One Word - Honeycrisps

The rain and a picked over orchard did not stop us from 

picking 108 pounds!  How long will it take us to eat them all?

9.24.11 - Chore for One is...

 

...play for another.

9.23.11 - Good Times at San Chez

 

Celebrating with Annie at her Bachelorette Party

9.22.11 - Choo - Choo

 

Chugga, chugga choo - choo!

I love Ty's imagination.

9.21.11 - Pillows, Daddy & Storytime

9.20.11 - New Teddy Bears

Fun for everyone when Lucy gets new teddy bears.

9.19.11 - Lucky Kids

Usually about once a week Derk 

makes the boys pancakes for breakfast

9.18.11 - Someone Loves Green Beans

As for the Beef Strogana, not so much.
Every once in a while it's nice to try something new...except
for the complaints at dinner time from the boys.

9.17.11 - Proud Daughter

My Dad was quite the athlete back in the day...we joined him as he was
one of 6 individuals to be inducted into his high schools 1st Athletic Hall of Fame class.  The best part was hearing people speak of of his selfless character and legacy.  My Dad is the 3rd in on the right.

9.16.11 - 63 Degrees

It's time to turn the heat on!

9.15.11 - So You Think You Can Dance

9.14.11 - No Chance...

...of beating a 5 year old at memory.

9.13.11 - STUBBORN

Don't even think about trying to get me to eat...I said no 

and this is where I am staying.  You can try but really, 

it's a waste of your time.

9.12.11 - Seriously

 

There always seems to be an opening in the middle...why you ask?

  When the curtains are shut Lucy feels the need to peak out to 

see what is happening.  Too bad she doesn't know 

how to shut them back up when she is done.

9.11.11 - Dinner for a Dear Friend's...

...BIRTHDAY!  Another year on this journey of life!

9.10.11 - No More Monkeys...

 

...jumping on the bed.

Another one off the "honey do" list...if you're 

wondering what happen just watch this video.  

A cracked bed frame was the result of this video.

9.9.11 - IKEA or BUST

Here is a group of women who can spend

6 hours in IKEA.  I didn't know it was possible.

9.8.11 - We Have A Little Helper

 

Ty was determined to be a "worker" with Mommy.  It was 

so cute until the end when there were a few screws missing.

9.7.11 - 1st Day of Pre-K

9.6.11 - Sick Dog

 

I don't feel bad for her one bit...she ate poo and 

then puked in the house.  It's worse than cleaning up kids puke!

9.5.11 - It's a Boy Thing

Derk helped Jalen build a ramp...

...this is a true childhood staple.

9.4.11 - Nesting Take Over & Fuzzy Bunny

 

A day of nesting galore...cleaned out the toy room making 

room for our baby girl, turned the storage room into a toy room, 

moved Ty into a big boy bed, finally hung the decoratives in 

Jalen's room and put Jalen's headboard together for his new bed. 

Success and happy!

 

We ended the day by the fire...Ty stuffed an entire 

marshmellow in his mouth then decided he didn't like 

it and hit the staple stand by a graham cracker.

9.3.11 - Bless This House

 

Just one of the many finds during our date night 

"dou dad" around town.

9.2.11 - Our Little Baby Girl

We had our official ultrasound today....confirmed she wasn't 

just hiding something and we really are having a girl.  

This time she showed us her face where as last time she only wanted 

to show off her girl parts.  We can't wait to me you baby girl.

9.1.11 - Bitter Sweet

 

It sure feels good to clean out the bins of boy cloths but 

saying goodbye to all the cute outfits sure brings 

back memories of my baby boys.
