We had a nice Thanksgiving. We had our good friends the Ceglie’s over for dinner. I fried a turkey and managed not to burn the backyard down. Tyler is starting to get the hang of walking more and more. The weather has been like summer so Jake and I got some flying in today.

Kristin went to Jakes school Thanksgiving dinner.

Kristin and Jake are back from Idaho. Jake had a great time with his cousins. Tyler is still not walking on his own. The most we get is 5 or 6 steps. Won’t be long though.



Going to pick-up Mommy and Jake from the airport.

Our birds of paradise are in bloom.

Just Tyler and I at home this weekend. Kristin and Jake went to Idaho to see her family. Jake is having the time of his life hanging out with Cody and Conner. Tyler and I are getting some quality bonding time here at home.





Tyler decided to rearrange the TV stand cupboards.

The big news is Tyler is finally starting to take steps, although after Jake we are not sure if it is a blessing yet. Halloween was fun. We had a great time with Matt, Maria, Payton and Presley. We started a reward program for Jake. If he does what he is told (stay in bed at night, eat his dinner, etc...) he gets a sticker on a sheet of paper on the fridge. When he acquires so many stickers he gets to do something fun like Chuck-E-Cheese or Sea World. I can’t believe we haven’t done this sooner. So far it works awesome! Great idea Mommy!

Iron Man and Pink Bat Girl

He was a great big brother. He always asked for something for Tyler.

Trick or treating is hard on a fella

He now knows how to get airplanes to come on the computer by himself.

First sticker reward

First steps!!
