Happy Birthday Ty-ger!

Ty had his first birthday yesterday. He had a tiger themed birthday because his nickname is "Tyger".


I made a tiger cake


Which he quite enjoyed!


Aunt Melanie gave him a tiger costume. So cute!

Ethan's gift to Ty was a bunch of balloons. He even found a tiger balloon. Ty has had a blast with these!

One year ago today!

We love our little birthday boy!

We're Still Alive!

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I have posted on our blog so here is an update. Ty started walking at 10.5 months (that's about the same as Ethan started walking). He's very sturdy now and walks and climbs everywhere. Although he does get quite a few bumps and bruises. His birthday is tomorrow and I can hardly believe that my baby is a year old! He is so much fun and a joy to our family.

Ethan is a crack up and very imaginative. Lately he loves to make up stories and tell jokes. He is a smart cookie and know how to read and spell the following words: Ethan, Ty, mom, dad, stop, go, cat, dog and ball. He's working on learning Nana & Papa (per Nana's request). He's only 3 1/2 so I'm not pushing it, he just loves to learn and I love that about him!

My boys continue to light up my life and I am one happy Mama!



Here is Ty cruisin'.


Playing with his letters.

This boy is afraid of nothing... except his brother, at times.

We went to Hogle Zoo and Ethan's favorite thing was looking at the map and finding where we were going and where we had been. Funny boy!


Derek and I took Ethan to the circus back in September. It was a nice night that he got to have us to himself.

Love this fall picture of Ty!
