Ty Turns 3!!!

Ty turned 3 last Saturday!!! We celebrated with a birthday party at the Monkey's Treehouse for Ty and his cousin Malcolm with our families and a few friends. It was a great time. Ty was having so much fun playing that it took him a while to realize anyone else was there! He had been talking about the cake for a while and telling me that at his party he was "not gonna eat dinner first" so he was thrilled at cake time. After the party we came to the house and Mom and Dad gave him his new Jeep. He is loving it and all his new toys. He has been well entertained this week! It is so hard for me to believe that my baby boy is 3 years old. It seems like not long ago I saw him for the first time. I could cry just thinking about how fast he is growing, but I am so very thankful that he is growing and healthy. Ansley turned 18 months on Saturday as well. I am learning to cherish every moment of these early years because they are so fleeting. We have been blessed beyond anything we could imagine with these precious children. Hopefully this blog will help me preserve some of the memories.

Halloween Night

We had a fun Halloween this year. The Dixons came in from Alabama so Ty and Ansley got to go Trick or Treating with their cousins. We ate chili at Mom and Dad's house and set out in their neighborhood with a Star Wars clone thingy, a penguin, a ladybug, Superman, and Tinkerbell(Ty called her "Stinkerbell"). We were quite a site. Ty and Micah insisted on holding hands the whole time and Micah kept reminding us that Ty was in his words "My Best Friend!"(insert his new Alabama accent) The kids scored tons of candy and I have consequently gained a pound this week I'm pretty sure. Ty loves organizing his since I am mean and won't let him eat it until he has eaten a good meal (which is rare for him). Don't worry he has gotten to eat some. Ansley of course has too. It's amazing how my first child didn't know what a sucker was until he was 2 and my second child was pointing and yelling "sucker" at the bank at 16 months old because Ty has informed her about such things at a young age! Anyway, we had a great weekend. My next post will have birthday pictures!
Yes, this is my daughter!
