My hippo itches!

Today I was playing on the floor with the boys when the following conversation happened:

Tyler: "My hippo itches." (as he is scratching his chest)
Mom: "Oh really, where are your hippos?"
Tyler: (lifting up his shirt) "Right here."
Mom: "How many hippos do you have?"
Tyler: "Two."
Mom: (tries not to burst into laughter!)

It was so funny! We have been playing Hungry Hungry Hippos lately, so maybe that is where it came from; who knows with this kid!! I tell you what, there is NEVER a dull moment with him!!!

Happy Birthday Tyler, T, Super T

Tyler's birthday is actually today but we celebrated over the weekend while my family was in town. We went to Chuck E. Cheese for pizza and games. The boys had a great time (although Jason was so tired I thought he was going to fall asleep on the horse ride). We came home and put Jason down for a nap and Tyler got to open his presents. he was SO Funny!! He was really excited about every present. He got a new scooter, edger, handy manny tool set, movies, waffle maker (complete with syrup and a mix), and money!


I can't believe that he is already 4! He is so much fun and is always coming up with something new to make a mess with! He is very imaginative, creative and independent. He loves trucks, tractors, boats, cooking, tools, his blanket and silky, milk, waffles, being the boss, picking out his own clothes, helping his little brother (usually getting him the things that I won't let him have), irritating his little brother (naturally), being outside, spending time with family, talking on the phone, creating things with boxes, and is always making us laugh with the sayings he comes up with. He makes life very exciting - what would we do without him???

My mom made the awesome cake!! Tyler wanted it exactly like his tractor that he got for Christmas. My mom use a little orange candy for the gas tank cap and when Tyler saw it he told her, 'the gas tank is supposed to be red, Grandma!" It was hilarious because I told my mom an orange one would work fine.

This is all Jason cared about!!

Ready to help Dad with the yard.

I mentioned that he loves waffles!! What other 4 year old would be so excited to get his very own waffle iron???

Jason was exhausted and would not cooperate for a picture!

Tyler dressing himself!

Fixing a box - I am not exactly sure what he was making with this one.

Helping his brother jump down the stairs into the mount of pillows! (oh - and dressing himself again)

I could not resist putting in a few pictures of cute baby Kylee!

We were doing FHE the other night and I was asking the boys if they knew who loved them and Tyler said, "Do you know who I like? Little Kylee." It was so sweet!!

Jason looks like a monster compared to Kylee!

Cousins

We went to Rangely last weekend to see little Kylee! She is so sweet. Jason really liked to hold her but Tyler was not quite so sure. He finally warmed up enough to actually hold her. They both think she is pretty neat.








Playing in the snow.



One night Tyler and Jason decided it would be fun to put all of the blocks in their PJ's. They looked pretty funny! Jason was cracking us up trying to walk around with all of them.

Boys will be boys! Notice who is on top!!

Not a good introduction to the potty!! We are not trying yet, I just thought I would get it out and let Jason get used to it. We obviously, have a long way to go...

These are all of Tyler's friends. He set them all up at a table and got snacks for them.



Jimmy teaching Tyler how to shoot my Dad's air soft gun. Tyler thought it was so much fun!

Grandpa and Tyler dressed up for a parade!

Jason decorated himself instead of a card for Grandpa's birthday.

Kylee Vicky Kent

My sister had her baby on the 29th. She is so cute!! She was 6 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 inches long. Courtney had the baby the day after we came back home, so we have not seen her yet. We hope to get back to CO in the next few weeks!

Merry Christmas - finally!

I know these are extremelly late, but here are the pictures from Christmas. We had a great time at my parents' house. We were also waiting for my sister, Courtney to have her baby! She ended up going to the hospital on Christmas morning but did not have the baby until the 29th! (more pictures of little Kylee later)

Tyler has been asking for a "tractor just like Lexi's" ever since we visited Florida. SO, we had a little talk with Santa and decided that he could get it for Christmas. (FYI... I am not a big fan of Santa as a parent!) He kept asking about it and wanted to go to WalMart to look at it all the time. The tractor was waiting for Tyler and Jason in my parents room after they opened all of the other presents. Tyler had a great time riding it up and down the hallway at my Mom's school!

Sorry the pictures are in random order - if I take the time to sort them out, I will never get this done!


Grandma dancing with Jason to the Twilight soundtrack

Just chillin' and watching a movie

Jason's new airplane (and that STUPID binky - that has since been taken away for the 2nd time)

Tyler's new camping set - he LOVES it!

The new tractor, just like Lexi's (it did not come with chains for the tires and did not go so well in the snow!)

See n' Say from Grandma Bruck

Tyler getting any willing body to do a parade with him

Leaving tractor cookies for Santa, of course!

The new truck and fishing boat just like Grandpa's! You would have thought that the kid actually got the real boat he has been asking for!

My mom and her new Twilight bag (She is a **little** obsessed:-)

Jason, our sweet devil child!

First time seeing the tractor

This was about the only time that Jason got in the tractor the whole time we were in Rangely.

Shake Shake your booty

Mandy, Carolyn, Carly, Cori, Kelyn, Christine... This post is for you!

This was our after dinner entertainment the other night:

Tyler was singing "Shake, shake your booty" the whole time he was dancing!

Tis the season..

My parents came to visit us this weekend and we were able to get TONS of stuff done. My mom helped me put up all of our Christmas decorations, Jimmy and I did our Christmas shopping, and My mom and I got to see Twilight for the 3rd time ;-) Thanks Mom & Dad.
