New Pictures

I feel like I update the blog a little too often, I just have lots of pictures of the kids that I assume everyone else likes seeing as much as I like taking them...so, another short post with A LOT of kid pictures:

Mikelle loves to help feed Ty

I turned around from the computer and saw them doing this, they set it up all by themselves.

One Month Old!

Tyrel is one month old today. It has gone by so fast. He still sleeps almost all the time. I am trying to be better at not getting him during the night. If he makes the slightest smallest noise I grab him and try to feed him and most the time he is not hungry and just goes back to sleep. He has to compete with everyone and everything else for attention during the day that nighttime is kind of like his time with me, so I don't feel too bad about letting him sleep with Matt and I every night. Not much else to say about him: sleeps, eats, poops - and that is Ty in a wrap!

First Snowfall

Tomorrow is officially the first day of fall, so I guess for the last day of summer, Mother Nature decided to have the first snowfall of the season! I was surprising excited!

Also, here is what Ty wore to his first time at church yesterday.

Festival Italiano 2009

That time of year again. I love fall! There is so many fun things and holidays and the HOT summer temperature has cooled down to a perfect degree. We went to the Festival Italiano for the second year - now I can say it is a family tradition; only this time, Matt and the Knowles came with us. It was fun. The kids did the children's grape stomp which goes to make the "Little Feet Merlot," we watched the flag throwers from Florence, Italy, enjoyed some Italian food and gelato, and the kids painted some pictures. It was a pretty fun day and Matt said he actually had fun and was glad he came, even though he was missing the football game. He also said that he would come again next year, but I think that has more to do with the Italian sausage sandwich he got than the actual festival. Here are the pictures:

Just to be nostalgic, I posted the picture of the kids from last year

Now this year, a lot bigger and a little harder to handle

While waiting for the grape stomp to start, the Pinocchio and princess cutouts

Still waiting

Almost time to stomp those grapes

All the kids, just can't wait

Jonah stomping, you can't see his face, but he didn't like it (again this year), he lasted about 10 seconds

After Daddy rescued him

Mikelle loved it this year!
