Sometimes he surprises me

Tyler gets super annoyed with Kylee a lot of the time, mostly when he's afraid she's going to take something he's playing with and he will start screeching, "Mom, come get Kylee away from me! Hurry mom, take her away from me!" But there are times when he is just the sweetest ever to her.

One morning Bobby heard Tyler talking in the bedroom, but he hadn't heard Kylee up yet (I was in the shower) so he was going to go in and bring Tyler out so he wouldn't wake her up. When he went in their bedroom he saw this:


Apparently he thought she needed her morning dose of Bambi.

*my favorite part is that he only has one sock on. somehow during the night he always loses ONE sock!

It's cold here!

I don't know what it is about kids, but they LOVE to be outside-at least my little boy does. It doesn't matter if it's 110 or -10 degrees, he wants to play outside. So being that it's already cold here (well, at least when it gets dark it's cold) he has to get all bundled up if we leave the house after dark. Bobby took Tyler with him to campus one night to turn in some homework and it was the perfect time to try out his new hat/glove set. He loves it-especially the mittens.

For some reason he thinks it's so funny that all his fingers are stuck inside this piece of cloth and his thumbs get to be all by themselves. Yup, he's a weird one!






He literally could not take his eyes off these miracles.




Off to school...

Guns

So I've never really been a gun person. Didn't grow up around them, didn't know anyone that had one, didn't ever care to learn anything about them. Then I met Bobby, who did grow up around them, has a family that has several, and knows a lot about them. I went shooting for my first time on his dad's farm before we got married and hated it! It hurt my ears, my shoulder, and I was terrible. Since then I have been explained the many reasons why owning a gun is a good thing, and have come around to the idea. Bobby bought his first gun, a SIG SAUER P225, a couple years ago and I've wanted one for myself ever since-especially when I found out they really do make pink ones!! But I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disturbed to walk out of the bedroom and see Tyler helping Bobby clean his gun. I know it's totally harmless and the whole time that they were cleaning it Bobby was teaching Tyler gun safety things, but I guess it's just weird for me since I didn't see my first real gun in person till I was in College! But Tyler really loved that he was getting to help his daddy and was very attentive to everything Bobby was telling him and was asking a lot of questions about how to hold it and what to push, and he was really interested in "how to be safe!"





He'll probably think this picture is really cool someday, but I don't like it.




Bobby wants to take him out shooting with him, but I think I'm going to have to put my foot down on that one-maybe in several years...maybe.

Leftover Halloween

As if there aren't enough pictures littering this blog, this post is going to be full of them-sorry! I realized that I have tons of pictures from October that I never had time to post about, so I'll start with some of the other Halloween stuff we did in Oct. that I totally forgot to post and at after that just all the other random stuff we did throughout the month.

Tyler and I had a lot of fun making Halloween cupcakes!




Kylee was just happy watching us while eating crackers!




We let them bake and cool during his nap and when he woke up Tyler frosted, sprinkled and decorated!




Oh, and of course we ate them!!


The Saturday before Halloween Bobby's work did their annual pumpkin carving and dinner party, and Tyler was really into carving the pumpkins this year!


Kylee wished she could have been really into this year...maybe next year sweet girl!






Earlier in the day we got the kids dressed in their Halloween shirts and ran all our errands before heading over to the party. They were NOT excited about getting their pictures taken together-


-or alone for that matter.


But after some serious bribes-or threats, whatever you want to call it-they smiled/looked at me for ONE picture.


Kylee was just mad cause I took this doodle thing away from her to make her take a picture.


Never disturb an artist at work!


And no she didn't actually draw those circles, Tyler had it before her...


...although I'm sure she could have drawn them if I hadn't taken it away, she is a genius baby afterall. :)


Tyler loved these animals he could "ride" at Sams Club, he wanted to try every animal they had. Kylee was pretty indifferent but at least she wasn't scared.


RANDOMNESS
So recently Kylee's favorite place to stand is holding on to the very end of the couch where she can't hold on and walk anymore and her favorite thing to do there is bend over and stick out her bum as far as possible. It's stinkin' cute!


Kylee smiling at Tyler's crazy dancing (sorry for the fuzzy pics)


Kylee in true character-AT-TI-TUDE!


She also loves to be in the cupboards


And pull everything out!


Who me?! (sorry I can't get it to rotate right)


Kylee's new obsession: sippy cups


If she spots one she is OFF to claim it before her brother can snatch it away with a grumpy, "No Kylee, that's mine!" *sigh*-at least she's not old enough to fight back yet


Tyler loves to move and make noise so music is his thing...even if it's a commercial with music, off he goes.


I just love the complete and total happiness that shines through his face-especially his eyes-when he's moovin' and groovin'!


And my favorite part is that it keeps Kylee 100% entertained!


We both kinda love this boy like crazy!


Okay that should get me all caught up through Oct., now onto Nov.!

How much do you love me?

So last night as we were falling asleep-and I mean like in that zone where you're past all coherency, but still can't qualify, scientifically, as asleep -I asked Bobby, "How much do you love me?". He replied in slurred speech, "So much". Not satisfied, I asked again, "But how much do you love me?" There was a couple seconds of no response so figuring he had fallen asleep I was about to allow my body to do the same when he says, "I love you so much that if you lost your thumb I would cut off my own big toe and sew it onto your nub so you could have a thumb."

Love him. :)
