The 4 of us

We finally got some pics of the 4 of us!! Just in time for Christmas. Enjoy some of our new pics

Holidays

If it werent' for being able to see family more this time of year, I wouldn't be much of a fan of the holidays. Only tho, because of the colder weather. This year has been a little different tho. We have had a few cold days, but several days in November were above 70degrees!! AND just yesterday it got up to 70. BUT WAIT, look outside right now and this is what I see. Yes, it's a tad colder, and MR. SNOW decided to finally make his appearance.

Tyler and Ayva had pics done at Tylers preschool and I took a picture of it on my phone to show you. Sorry if they are fuzzy at all. Matt also took a pic of me and Ayva after I got home from doing a candle show, obviously we didn't miss eachother at all:)

Saturday, December 6th Canon City had their Festival of Lights parade downtown. I took the kids and met Connie and Bret and sat and watched. Luckily it had been a warmer day so it wasn't too bad till the end. I took a pic of one of the better floats, this was one of my favorites.

Thanksgiving!!

This year Tylers birthday happened to be on Thanksgiving. Last year it was the day before and since family was already gonna be here we celebrated on Thanksgiving after dinner. This year, we celebrated a day early because Matt had to work and I didn't want to have to do it all my self after dinner and be worn out. Matt's brother Seth and his Wife Kara were here, along with my dad and brother and his girlfriend, Trish. Also, Karas sister and Fiance joined us as well as Aunt Cheryl and Ed. We all gathered at Matt's parents house and enjoyed a wonderful meal. I luckily only had to cook the green bean casserole. Thankful for that cuz i was wore out from being sick and doing Tylers' birthday party. I can see in the future years to come how this time of year is gonna be nuts! Ayva's bday is end of September, Matt's bday couple days later, then Tylers at end of November, right with Thanksgiving. With just enough time afterwards to get ready for Christmas. Luckily my birthday waits a couple months!

Anyways, here are a few pics of the family during Thanksgiving...

Ok, so I guess I didn't take alot of pics, but here are the uncles of Tyler and Ayva. I think they look like there were having lots of fun!

Tyler Turns 3...and mommy tries to make a super Thomas The Train Cake!

Ok, so I am not really that creative. But when I try, I try to go all out. I knew with a little baby and very limited time to do these kinds of things it could be interesting, but I gave it a shot and here is how my cake turned out.

The little mountain of cupcakes unknowingly turned into the Mountain of Sodor. For those Thomas the Train fans, you know what I am talking about. Really, i just had leftover batter, so made mini cupcakes and piled them up!

The cars were way cute, Thomas was a little sad engine, but I think it turned out well for not really knowing what i was doing.

Here are more pics from Tylers birthday party...

This is the Giraffe that Matt got Tyler, although it was more for me, when Tyler was first born. We have pics of him on this giraffe when he came home, at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and now 3 years old.

This is his 1 year picture. Digging up the pics of when he was first born. If i get them i will make a post of all of them.
