my baby is in school...

well, the dimples are still there, but my baby is growing up! he has been begging me to go to school, and it took me some time, but i think we are ready to give it a shot. we enrolled him in Ann Windle School, which is a public school that is all pre-k...he was so excited to go to school, and 'do homework'...(i will have to remind him of this one day)...

today was his first day. i'm not really a super emotional person, so i was a little nervous for him, but not sad or anything. i tend to love that he's growing up, and just really embrace his years, though at times his baby pictures can bring tears to my eyes. he was chattering all the way to school, absolutely thrilled.... as i was handing the office a few last signed paperwork, i turned around to see logan's hands on ian's shoulders and very seriously saying "well, bud, i'm going to go to school every day now. and i'm going to really miss you"... he then tried to pull ian in for a hug, which ian quickly wormed out of...as logan fought him to get his hug, he was saying "no, ian, i have to go to school now...aren't you going to miss me?"....now that made my heart melt to see him get sentimental with his brother.

here's him coming out of class on his first day! his teacher said he was just perfect! :)

this is his carpet spot in school with his name on it...

of course, the gang that picked him up...

6 months

Well, my little Ty-man is 6 months now. He's definately going to have a little personality. He yells so much for attention...and is just the happiest little thing when you are giving it to him! He weighed in at 20 lbs. and 13 oz. which is 94% in weight....and measured at 28 1/2 inches which is 97% in height. I think he looks more like me than the other boys....Logan is a pretty decent mix of Andy and I, and Ian is all Andy...:) I do love my boys...

I set Tysen down this morning to go get his clothes out of his room, and I came back to find Logan reading to him. It was so cute! Logan would ask him questions about the pages, and then take Tysen's hand and point to the answer...he's such a great help for me!

State Fair

we went to the state fair of texas last week (thanks for the free tickets, mom!!)!! soooo much fun!! now that the boys are old enough to enjoy it, we have a lot more fun too! they loved the petting zoo, and the dog shows! of course we played a couple games with them, and they won matching swords!

yeah for brotherly violence!






and here's their new swords...

they proceeded to sword fight for the next hour...
i'm not even kidding.

it was a long hard day, and poor ian doesn't do well without a nap...
