Sorry I got behind a little. Here come a lot of pictures!
Jake’s school Christmas program. He had a bit of stage fright.

Tyler’s favorite pastime besides eating… rearranging the cupboards.

Jake playing the Wii after he fixed himself a little snack.

Tyler loves when Mommy bakes.

We are all fighting off colds. The boys and Kristin are doing well, so far I got it the worst. Kristin took Jake to a Christmas ice skating show with some friends. Tyler has got walking pretty much down.

A busy weekend. We got our Christmas tree Friday night. Saturday morning we went to Home Depot to make a project at the kids’ workshop. After that we all went to a kids’ Christmas party at my work. It’s pretty neat for the kids. There are jumpers, games, crafts to make, bubble wrap on the floor to jump on and the kids get to see Santa fly in from the North Pole in a Helicopter. That evening we saw Santa again at the mall for pictures with the Ceglie's. The boys were all happy and smiling when the computer camera systems broke. It came up eventually but Tyler was getting antsy. Last night we had the Loiselle's and Grieco's over for dinner and all the boys terrorized the cat.

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.

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!!
