249 in, 249 out!

Look at my sweet sweet boys! They are so precious! 

Tyler has a bit of a milestone today... (June 24th, 2011) 249 days in my belly, 249 days out of my belly!

He sure has grown!

So has Zach! He is closing in on the 4'9" mark that he has been waiting for forever! Why? You ask? Because at 4'9" he can finally ride without his booster seat in the car! (Does that mean I won't try to still make him? nope :) ) He is safer in the car seat, and I will stick to my guns. 

This is too precious of cargo to mess with the rules! 

Last Thursday Travis had his work cruise. I am really glad that I still get to go on these because they were always so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa came over and spent the evening with the boys so Travis and I could go out on the lake with everyone. Lake Coeur D'Alene is so beautiful! I loved having an evening out with my hubs, and the girls from work. :)

Playdate with our BFFs!

Nicki came over a couple of days ago for a visit and the babies got some great play time together. 

I really love how they can actually play together now, rather than just nap together!

I think Raylee is impressed at Tyler's skills. 

              Here they are both showing some new moves.

Raylee really would like to have her toy back...

 And she is gonna get it!

 Tyler wants it back now!

 Raylee is trying to fight him off!

 ok... I guess I will share...

 Actually, they both did so well and shared so great!

This kid... is getting too big...

Tyler has decided that crawling is not enough, and that he would like to stand up. 

So now he stands up and plays with his toys.

My Smiley boy.

Happy Father's Day Trav!

Trav has been a great dad to Zachary, And now a great dad to Tyler too! 

We are sure lucky to have this man in our lives. 

Tyler crawls!

Tyler has been crawling for a couple of weeks. 

But it's mainly been just a few feet. Now he crawls everywhere! 

3rd Picture update!

Last week I was lucky enough to help out with Zachary's field trip to Riverfront Park. He had a great time riding the carousel, watching a movie at the IMAX and doing a scavenger hunt! (Tyler tagged along and did great too!)

2nd Picture update!

About 2 weeks ago Tyler was pretty much crawling with his belly fully off of the floor. Then he surprised me with something else.... 

 What? Are you climbing that chair?

 But you just learned to crawl???

Quick picture update!

I have been having so many problems with my camera lately because the outside of the cord ripped, and now it doesn't read correctly on my computer! What a pain in the tush! I can't even find a replacement cord on Canon's website. So for now my pictures don't get loaded on a daily basis like they used to. 

Here are a few pictures. I will probably do a couple of posts to add pics so they are as heavy as they have been! 

Tyler and mama! (And mama's new haircut!)

 The two sweetest boys in the world!

Thoughts and Prayers needed for a sweet baby girl

So when I was pregnant, and shortly after having Tyler I would go onto this baby forum for parents. Just a place to talk about what is going on with your pregnancy, and new babies. Or just life in general. There was this little girl that I was partial to. Not just because her name is Kate, but because she is cuter than cute! Anytime I talk to Trav about something on their blog, I refer to her as "The cutest internet baby", because I do not know this family in person.

Her parents had struggles getting pregnant and once she got here, Kate had her own struggles. This baby has been put through test after test to figure out what is wrong, and just this week it was discovered that she has Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia. What does this mean for this sweet baby girl? It means she has a very rare genetic bone marrow failure. There are less than 100 known cases in the world. (Yes, I said world!)

Please click HERE to take a look at her mom's blog, and see sweet Kate.

What I am asking is that you pray for this family. Pray for this little girl who deserves a chance at life. It takes just a moment to add her to your prayers, please please do this.

Happy Monday

Man, was it ever beautiful out this weekend! I tried to soak up as much sun as I could! :)

Friday Tyler showed me a new trick he does.

 He doesn't quite crawl still but manages to make it from one side of the house to the other in about a minute or less. I still have not put up the baby gate and really need to do it yesterday. ;) I would like to get a different one because the one I have I got from a used baby stuff sale and it's not the most user friendly. But I guess it works! 

Here is his "get out of my face with that camera" face. I get this one a lot.

 Me and my boys

Here is another thing Tyler discovered this weekend

Yep, the door stop. He thought it was pretty great! 

Saturday we set up the slip n slide since it was in the high 70's. Zach enjoyed it very much and 

Travis even went down once!

 Tyler had his first run in with grass and was not sure what to think!

My family :)

 He's coming to get me!

My sweet boys

Guess it didn't taste good! 

Sunday we went to Silverwood and this is the only picture I managed to take but it's the boys coming off of the log ride. I was looking forward to riding the umbrellas that are over top of the bumper boats, but part way through our ride some lady threw up and they had to get us all off so they could clean up... Talk about gross!
