MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

All the children were sleeping...

This is the plastic nativity set that we got at the D.I for 75 cents!! What a steal of a deal.


Tyler is more interested in the nativity than the present.

What an awesome shirt.


Just what I wanted. Now I can practice eating sushi. I'll be a pro in no time.


This is a wooden rocking horse that Tyler's Grandpa Miles made for him. He loves it. It's an awesome rocking horse.


Wee!!! It's so much fun. I love rocking and rocking.

I know, I know, these pictures are a bit late. Cory and I have been really busy lately and with the whole new blogger switch thing (I was a bit confused) it took us awhile to post.

I know what I want!

Cute pictures of Tyler!!

Tyler has been really cute lately. He's really getting good with his walking. He still crawls sometimes, but he's mostly walking now. He is very determined and doesn't give up easily. He has even taught himself how to dive over things that are in his way such as toys, chairs, or mommy and daddy's legs. I've been trying to teach Tyler how to blow kisses. He's only done it a few times, and only to me. Yesterday, he actually puckered up his lips some and kissed both me and Cory on the lips. It was pretty dang cute. He loves to clap and smile. He also loves to play with his Little People sets and he likes books. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on how Tyler is doing. He keeps us really busy. It is such a blessing to have such a wonderful child in our home. He brings us so much joy, happiness, and laughter.

WARNING....Do not put things on your finger, they may get stuck.

Yesterday, while Cory was at work, I was in Tyler's room with Tyler while he was playing. I was sitting on the floor while he played. From the corner of my eye, I saw a little yellow, tri-angular shaped block with a hole in the center of it. Well, I decided to see if that particular block fit any of my fingers. I was sliding it off of my ring finger on my left hand for awhile, then I switched to the right ring finger. Well, has anyone ever heard the myth that one of your hands is bigger than the other? I believe it's true. That block got stuck on my right finger for like an hour. I would pull and pull to try to get that dang block off. My finger even started turning purple. I really didn't know what to do. So, I took a deep breath, and tried again, but with no luck. This block wasn't going anywhere. So, I sat down again, and, I know this sounds cliche, but I said a silent prayer so that I could get that dang block off of my finger. After my prayer, the block slid right off. I learned a valuable lesson that day. That no matter how little or silly our questions to our Heavenly Father may be, He is listening, and He does answer our prayers, all of them.

My beautiful new ring.

Another shot. Isn't it lovely?

Uh-Oh, my finger is starting to turn purple.

Our new babysitter!!

The other day Cory and I were cooking dinner in our kitchen and of course our little rug-rat was under foot and kept trying to reach above the cupboards and kept tugging at our legs, so we took the laundry basket and placed Tyler inside with toys and Sesame Street on the T.V. It was so funny, because he actually stayed in it. He played with his toys and just watched his buddy Elmo for like an hour. It was amazing. Tyler didn't even try to stand up. Once Sesame Street was over though, Tyler managed to knock himself over and crawl back to us. Hey, at least we were able to cook in peace.

Tyler Birthday QUILT!!

Okay, So I know this posting is way way old, but I just wanted to show off his quilt. I made this over the summer. Yes, I made it. Practically all by myself too. I even picked out all the colors on my own. I only had my mom's help when I had to use her basement to cut the fabric into strips with her rotary cutter and her table. That's it. I did everything else on my own, including the quilting and the binding. The binding was the hardest part. Argh!! Anyways, here are my fabulous pictures of Tyler's First Birthday Quilt.
