"Boy-yo, Boy-yo"

"Boy-yo" is the universal word for lawnmower, tractor or really any type of construction equipment. Months ago there was a separate word for the mower and construction equipment but since, he's just combined them for ease. Obviously these are older pictures since Ty's wearing shorts. I believe this was October when Aunt Beth was here and Ty wanted to show her how he mows the lawn. He couldn't mow without his gloves, because Dada mows with gloves. These were just too cute, I had to share them.

Daddy's Little Helper

I'm a little late in posting these (okay a lot late in posting and taking any pictures for that matter) but several weeks ago Jason was ahead of the game and put up our Christmas lights while the weather was still so nice and I snapped a few. I can't tell you how exciting it is for me to have lights up on the house. Last year after Christmas, we purchased all the lights on sale and I stayed up late one evening and inter-changed bulbs so we could be ready for this year! Green and white lights, it just gives me a thrill to drive down the street and see our home all lit up! My job was to put the clips on and Jason's was to attach them to the house. Now, Ty had to have his job as well! Nothing simple held his attention and the ladder seemed to be the attention getter, so up he went with a little help from Dada!

Trick-or-Treat!

All treats for Bob!!!!

We started off on a little rocky start but after while Ty seemed to get the hangof trick-or-treating. At first, we'd walk up to a door and he would say "No, No, No", but a few times back home and watching the other kids he was soon saying "more, more" or "next, next". I was really surprised we made it to 8 o'clock (I'm sure the candy along the way helped!) and very happy with the turn out of his costume! He kept everything on the whole time and I only had to carry his treat bag off and on (only because he had suckers in each hand and couldn't hold the bag too!). He did great and came right in and said "sucker, sucker" - very proud of his treats and had to show Daddy! I couldn't have been a more proud when most of the people at the door or on the street commented on him, I too think he's the cutest Bob!!!

Punkin' Time

Yesterday we carved our pumpkins (or "pies" as Ty calls them). Ty was definitely more interested this year with the carving or maybe he just liked pulling out the guts and laughing at the faces Daddy and I made on our punkins. Ty's pumpkin was a little small, Daddy thought maybe too small to carve, but Ty insisted on Daddy carving it too - so here's our family of pumpkins, can you guess which one's mine and which one's Jason's?????

Lookin' Good!

We went in yesterday for a check-up and everything's looking really good. I know these are really difficult to make out, I myself can barely tell what anything is, but at least you have some sort of visual. The only thing the doctor could find on the hand held device was my own heartbeat and my stomach grumbling. So, she wasn't the least bit hesitant to bring in the ultrasound machine to check in on the baby. The baby was moving around like crazy and is developing all those wonderful things like arms and legs and the heartbeat is good and strong. She provided new options to help with all these crummy feelings but really, hopefully we are getting close to being over the "hump"!

Panning for Gold

The next stop was successful as we searched for gold! We all found some, but I think Ty was more intrested in playing in the nice, cold mountain water!

Tweetsie Petting Zoo

We had a lot of fun feeding the animals. We only saw the goats, deer and pigs. If there were more we didn't make it that far because the goats were really hungry and the deer were just so sweet. Ty was a little apprehensive at first especially when they started to stick their heads (or in the goats case, squeeze their entire bodies through) through the fence and take what the wanted. The feed came in ice cream cones and if you got too close, they took it all! We've never gotten to feed deer at any other petting zoo so this was a real treat for us! Here's all our new friends!

Uncle Dick helping Ty feed Katie and Kevin

(hee, hee - I love all their heads sticking through the fence)

Katie must have been the most hungry!

There's Grammy feeding Bambi!

Too sweet!

Yummy, Yummy

Love all those noses

finished....onto the next stop!
