Tyler ringing the dinner bell. This was a must each day (sometimes several times a day!)

Travis and Jared being a little rowdy one day.

They took the motorcyle for a ride down the back hill.
Needless to say, I was worried this wouldn't end well. Fortunately, no one got hurt!!

Tyler and I by the deer.
Ringing the bell....again.....

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year my mom cooked a wondeful meal with a very yummy turkey. Travis and Jared went to the Cowboys game during the game, so we ate a late supper. Aunt Stacia and Uncle Russ came over for dinner too. Aunt Stacia, Jared, Travis and Tyler talking before supper.Dad carving the turkey.Mom and Dad; hard to believe they've almost been married for 37 years!Tyler's favorite place to play was the pantry. Aunt Stacia brought him a Mator Lego set, so he was occupied with that until dinner time! Thanks for the gift Aunt Stacia!! Time for dinner!! Makes my mouth water just looking at it. Wish I could eat it again!!

Great Wolf Lodge

On Monday we headed over to Great Wolf Lodge in Dallas. The hotel is only about ten minutes from my parents house. They were able to get us day passes to play at the water park. We went about nine in the morning, so the crowd wasn't too bad. Some of our pictures are a little blurry due to the steam in the park area. Tyler had a wonderful time playing in the little kid area. He and I hung out there while the big boys, aka Travis, Jared and Dad, went down the big slides.

Tyler wandering around on his own checking everything out.

Tyler loved the jet ski. He could pull the handle and shoot water at people that walked by.

Cowboys game

Sunday I went to the Cowboys game with my dad. The stadium is extreme large and very impressive. Travis and Jared, my brother, went the game on Thanksgiving Day.

The Cowboys won both games. The famous jumbo tron

Our seats; it was a long way up, and I counted four escalator rides to get to our level and 60 steps! WOW! That's a lot for being a pregnant woman!!

Our seats were near the white boxes, four rows from the top.

Standing room only where people can buy tickets for cheap to stand around and watch the game.

Flying to Dallas

Just a few pictures we took of Tyler on the airplane on the way to Dallas. This was by far the best flight he's had so far. It was a lot easier now that he is bigger and can tell me what he is thinking and feeling rather than crying like last year. It also helped that he wanted to watch movies on hte DVD player!

Tyler and Sophia

When we went to visit Matt and Courtney, Tyler was very interested in the twin girls. He loved talking to them and watching them. He also enjoyed holding them and continously kept asking. I didn't get any pictures of him with both girls, but here are a few with Sophia.

She was a very good sport!

I'll take this as a good sign that Tyler is going to be a great big brother! He truly loved being around Sophia and Claire and we all enjoyed our visit with Matt and Courtney.

Playing in the leaves

After raking leaves, we spent a little time playing in them before we picked up! Tyler really enjoyed it this year and could have stayed outside all day!

Even Aly our dog got into the action playing outside. She's running circles around the pile of leaves that Tyler is in.
