ready for the pool!!!

say cheese!

this is tysen's new picture face. the little 'red eye' light that shines before i snap, makes him squint his eyes. so now...i just say, 'smile, tysen', and he immediately shuts his eyes! so cute, but kinda frustrating to get a picture of him! :)

lost his first tooth!

well, yestarday, logan discovered his loose tooth...and today he spit it out while brushing his teeth! he's soooo excited...even though the tooth got washed down the drain. :(
my baby is growing up! :)

Stats

we finally got tysen in for a 1 year check-up! my little man is weighing in at 25 lbs 8 oz - which is 95% in weight...and 32.5 inches tall - which is off the charts in height! he is walking everywhere now...and has almost mastered climbing onto the couch. not looking forward to that. i'm amazed how he has his very own personality....he still loves his momma...but loves to be thrown around by dad. and every now and then, he'll even throw himself onto one of his brothers while he's "getting" them.

Oh Dear...

I walked out today wearing a long tank underneath a smaller tee...that's ok, right? Layers are in...and that's the thing to do is wear a longer shirt underneath a shorter shirt. (i'm so thankful that the short shirts are NOT in style anymore!)
So, Logan appraised my outfit, and then said, "mom, i think you should take off that long shirt."
I said, "no, honey, then my shirt would be too short"
and he said, "yeah, i know, then i could see your belly button...that's cool".
OH, DEAR!
Lord give me wisdom to train my child in the way he should go!

new videos

Andy uploaded several new videos of the boys...they are all on facebook, which you do have to have an account for...so if you don't, i'm really sorry, but i don't feel like uploading them all again to youtube. :) you can look on andy's profile page for all of them....

the one below is my favorite... the boys rocking out to their favorite song "hosanna" by starfield. notice how they really know all the words...and how i'm pretty sure ian is going to be a rockstar, or an actor. :)

boys singing

Happy Birthday, Tysen!

Happy Birthday Tysen!!! He's finally walking more consistently...he's been taking steps for about a month...and now he actually walks to things on his own...once he figures out how to stand without pulling up on things, he'll be all over the place! :)

there's a little video here:
