Erik, Jenn, Tyler & Mason

Ok so it's been exactly 6 months since I've blogged (and 6 months since I got a Facebook account...coincidence, I think not....). Tyler turned 2 on February 13, 2011. I can't believe how fast he's grown. He is such a joy and so wonderful. It's been a lot of fun to be his mom so far. He can already count to 10 with no help (and can count to 5 in Spanish), he's learning his colors, letters, and even sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Erik and me last night before bed. We are so blessed to have such a cute, happy, smart boy. This week has been SO crazy! Monday was a holiday so we all stayed home. We were dog-sitting this week for a friend and got to play with little Noodles all day long. We laid low and didn't get much done, it was a perfect end to the 3 day weekend. Tuesday and Wednesday went by with a blur. Lots of work, lots of play, and even fit in time to visit with friends. Wednesday night Erik was told to expect an official job offer from Microso...

Every time Tyler wears his sunglasses and Daddy's hat he says, "Cool!" Tyler came home from daycare with his first "tattoo" yesterday. His favorite activity with Mommy. Under construction First time in a booster seat--no more high chair! First time on a merry-go-round--he wasn't sure he liked it. Never too cool for green star sunglasses! Reading the Bible with Daddy Yes I made the mistake of putting the high chair right in front of my white curtains. Never again. :)

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

We love summer because we get to can fresh peaches and tomatoes! We canned 50 lbs. of fruit when we got back from Utah. Also, Erik is working on putting in new floors in our kitchen and dining room. As soon as that's done we can finally have our carpet installed! I will post before, during and after pictures later this week! On a sad note, we were very sorry to have lost Grandpa this past week but we know he is with Heavenly Father and that knowledge brings relief to our sadness. We love Grandpa very much and we miss him already.
