Ahem.....

Tyson and Ashlynn have something to announce.....

 

 These kids are so happy to be getting a new little sibling!

Shocked? Yes! Excited? VERY!!

Long Baby #3 due August 30th :)

Ashlynn 6 Months

I haven't posted in a long time and I intend to catch up once the holidays are over, but I wanted to quick jot this down while it's fresh in my mind.

Ashlynn turned 6 months a few weeks ago and just had her pediatrician appointment yesterday. The poor girl had shots and that's always so hard on a mom. She is weighing in at 16 pounds which is in the 75th percentile. She's also in the 75th percentile for height and head. The nurse said she is very proportioned :) the doc was very impressed with how strong and mobile she is, although I'm sure they say that to every mom. She wanted us to work on her sitting up on her own, so that's a new goal for Ashlynn.

We are expecting Ashlynn to start crawling soon. She will get up on her knees and rock back and forth. I'm not sure I'm ready for the challenge crawling brings, but will still be proud of her :) She is trying so hard to keep up with her big brother!

My favorite part about being a mom is seeing Tyson and Ashlynn play and laugh together. It is so sweet to hear Tyson make Ashlynn giggle which in turn makes Tyson laugh. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time....these kids are growing up way too fast!

Here are some recent pics of Ash. This is one I took today of her trying so hard to crawl.

Shaving Cream Art

For those of you who have been sucked into Pinterest....I found this idea there :)  I put food coloring in shaving cream and let Tyson do some artwork in the bath.  To say he loved it would be an understatement.

The ugly brown was supposed to be purple

 Ok, I added a little art of my own :)

 Apparently Tys thought my rainbow needed a little work.

Here is a recent pic of our Ashlynn girl.  She's almost 5 months old and so fun...she just started to laugh/giggle and its adorable. 

Fall Bucket List

Ever since the weather started to get a little cooler all I can think about are the things I want to do with the family this fall.  I decided to write a few things down so I don't forget. 

 

FALL BUCKET LIST

• apple picking
• make leaf art with Tyson
• caramel apples
• go on a hay ride
• TRICK OR TREAT
• go to a pumpkin patch
• pumpkin carving
• make fall cookies
• caramel apple spice from Starbucks

 As you can see, I'll also have to add a few extra workouts to my fall schedule!  Gotta love the Fall!

Football

Does anyone relate??? :)

Tyson's 2nd Birthday

 Yesterday was Tyson's 2nd birthday!  I can't believe how fast the last 2 years have gone by.  Tyson is such a joy to our family.  He can put a smile on anyone's face!  Here are a few things we love about Tyson.

• He loves any and all sports.  He likes to watch and play them.  Golf, basketball, soccer, football, tennis, he even loves ping pong.  
• He can make a basket from half way across the room (no kidding...)
• We taught Tyson about how Jesus makes him happy and he walks around saying 'happy happy happy' 
• He thinks that whenever he says Thank you, he has to add you're welcome to the end.  He'll say 'thank you you're welcome'
• The way he gets so excited when his Daddy comes home from work.  He loves his Dad so much and follows him around every chance he gets.
• He will say things just so Bryce will tickle him.
• When he stares out the window, and you can tell he's thinking hard about something important.
• When he blows us kisses.  He'll even blow kisses to the teller at the grocery store. 
• The way he says 'songs' at bedtime.  If we let him, he would have us sing him songs all night long.
• When he lays next to Ashlynn and gives her hugs and kisses.  He loves her so much.
• He's our little helper.  He helps me clean up the house and helps Bryce with the manly chores.
• HOOOOOOOOOPPPSSSS!!!!  (anyone who has heard him say this knows what I'm talking about)

I made him a HOOPS cake this year :)

 

We sure love our little Tyson man.  Happy Birthday, buddy!
