Snow Day

It's been snowing all day, so we decided to get out all the snow gear and take Tyrel out for his first snow experience:

Getting ready to go out, Ty in the baby carrier

All ready!

In front of our apartment

JONAH

MIKELLE

TY

I took this picture myself, it is actually quite hard to hold up my camera and take pictures of myself, but I got one of me and Ty outside finally.

The little trooper

Visit from the Family

I'm a little behind, but here was what we've been up to: My WHOLE family (minus Aaron and Kayla...sorry guys) came up for a visit to Colorado! It was so fun to have them here. They were just here for the short fall break weekend; but we tried to cram in as much fun as possible.

Slumber Parties - Catching up on Transformers, Star Trek, and Flash Forward

Grandpa and Jonah

Grandma and Ty

At Littleton Historical Museum

Coloring with Grandpa and Grandma

Making sugar cookies

Playing at the park

Jonah's funny face

We got Jonah a toddler bed so Ty inherited the crib...here is Ty's new and improved room

First time sleeping in the crib

Yesterday I sewed a blanket ALL BY MYSELF for Jonah's new bed. This may seem easy to some, but my sewing skills don't really go beyond sewing on a button...so this was a big accomplishment. Look how much he likes it!

His new car bed

Mikelle's Halloween dress Grandma made

Jonah's Halloween sweater from Grandma

Grandma Buttercup

My Grandma Buttercup flew out for the weekend to spend some time with the kids and meet Tyrel. We had so much fun and she spoiled us rotten. It went by so fast but we are planning on going to California to visit her in the summer...already so excited!

Reading with Dad

Dad got so tired from coloring

Jonah singing 'if you chance to meet a frown', this was his frowny face

Pets

For some CRAZY reason, I have been really wanting a pet lately. I don't know why because my life is already crazy, busy, stressful...but I still want one and I have narrowed it down to my top three choices, here they are:

The Puggle

So cute! Cross between a pug and beagle...I already decided his name...Muggles

Small Turtle

Yep, the size of a quarter. My brother had one.

Micro Pig

They are apparently the latest craze in Britain. They are also supposed to be easier to care for than a dog. Mikelle said she wanted one also. They don't get much bigger than this...Matt's response "Then they won't provide much bacon." .sick.

Here are just some picture of the kids:

Jonah put his Mickey Mouse costume on and fell asleep, he needed a longer nap I guess

First time with THREE kids in the bath

It's October - Halloween decorations up

Ty in his pumpkin outfit

Auntie Marianne sent everyone some money and Mikelle and Jonah put their's together to buy a slide. Thanks Auntie Marianne!

Tyrel - he just looked so big, I had to take a picture
