Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a really long day. We started at Mom and Dad's house and visited with them and Jenni and Ted. Then, we went to a church and had dinner with the Miles. It was a very eventful day. We are grateful for the blessing we have in our lives and for the family we have.

Head Start Art

Tyler's been really fascinated by anatomy lately and has especially been interested in learning about bones from Papa Dan. Turns out, that's still not the only piece of anatomy he's paying attention to...:

What a...prodigy?

The Boys

I've been playing around with the new face-centered movie feature in Picasa 3 and created a slideshow for each boy using pictures from the past six months or so. It's a cool feature, but it doesn't give you much control, at least that I could find, to specify where a picture is placed on screen or which order the pictures are shown in.

I uploaded these in 720p, so choose the HD version and watch it full screen if you're really feeling the Tyler and Jason love!

Holy Crap!

Over time, I've picked up a few nicer knives, like this one, but our everyday knives have still been a cheap little set from Macy's we got as a wedding gift. Considering how inexpensive they are, they're well-balanced and hold an edge reasonably well and they've done pretty good for us.

Tonight, thought, as I was cutting a slice of cheese (Tillamook Vintage White Medium Cheddar - yum!) for our cheese-and-crackers snack, the knife snapped a little bit into the handle, smashing (but not cutting!) my thumb against the table. As I recall, I didn't say anything harsher than "Ow! Dang!" but what was awesome was Ty's comment:

"HoLy Ka-Wapp! Bwoke off!"

Tyler went POTTY in the toilet

We've been trying to get Tyler to use the toilet for a week or so now. Well, today he finally went to the bathroom in the toilet. YEAH. We were so excited and clapped after words. He was so proud of himself. I think we're on a good start to potty training.

Donut

Yesterday we decided to get some donuts for breakfast. I was having a mad craving for an old fashioned, glazed donut. We let Tyler pick out a donut of his choice. He picked out one with chocolate frosting with red and blue stripes on it. Well, little did we know how messy it would be. He got blue frosting everywhere. On his head, in his hair, and all over his hands. It was pretty cute and Tyler loved it. Good thing I had a craving for a donut.

Yummy!!

I like frosting.

I don't like getting my face wiped off though.

Happy again.

Cutest. Boy. Ever!

Sorry, Travis, Melanie, Brian, and Krista, we have to officially claim the cutest boy ever! Don't worry, though, your boys are pretty darned cute, too!





Ty looked so cute today all dressed up for church that we had to snap a few pictures. I know we're partial, but we think he's pretty awesome!
