A Big November!

November was a busy month!

On Remembrance Day I had my parents over to decorate cookies with Ty.  We used to do a big baking party, but this is more fun for Ty.  He loved it...of course!!

Working hard with Grandma!


Cookies!!


They did an awesome job!


Courtney started sitting up all on her own!  I love the sitting phase!  They look so cute and you can get the best pictures!  Such a cutie!


Love it! So happy!

We got snow....a lot of snow.  We went out and played in the first big dump of the season.  This snow actually all melted but we have made up for it since....big time!

Courtney looking so pretty in her snow suit!


Trying to get a good pic of Ty.  Caught him blinking I think.


Checking it out!  He had a lot of fun.



Ty loved being out there.  I wish we could have stayed out longer but Courtney was sick of being in her snow suit.  


I had to capture this moment of them playing so nice together.  So cute!

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween this year was pretty mellow.  Ty woke up with a nasty cold, so we opted to stay in, hand in a bit of candy and just take a few pictures in our costumes.  The day before Halloween, Ty and I decorated some Halloween cookies, which I think was his favorite part of the whole holiday!  

Decorating cookies!  Ty loves doing this!  I'm glad that I decided to do it since he ended up getting sick.


Happy boy!  


Working hard with Mommy.


My little cute lady bug!  Such a cutie!  Love her costume, she looks adorable!


My little Woody!  He was excited to put on his costume and play with his new bucket, which I think would have been his favorite parts anyways, so I think it all worked out.

Mini Fall Photo Shoot!

Earlier this week we had a beautiful day!  It was like 16 or 17 degrees, which for almost the end of October is amazing!  I knew I had to get the kids outside to enjoy it, especially since we were getting snow later in the week, but I noticed that I had some cute outfits lying around, literally, so I dressed the kids up and tried to get a couple cute shots.  So glad I didn't pay for family pictures this year.  Ty would not sit next to Courtney and didn't really want anything to do with me and pictures, he just wanted to play ball.  Courtney was happy for about 15 minutes, then was sick of sitting and also just wanted to play and explore.  That being said, I got a few cute pictures, so it was worth it....kinda.  haha!

Little princess in a basket!





My best Ty smile of the day.


This is such a Brock pose.  Love it!




And one for my Mom!  I forget about this hat!  So cute, thank you!


Tyson is 3!!!

I can't believe Tyson is already 3!!  Such a big boy!!  I was trying to get a nice, Tyson at 3 years old picture, and although they are not the best, they are Ty.  To me, this is him.  Always happy, laughing and smiling!



Tyson is so great!  He has had quite the year and a half.  We moved from Edmonton to Calgary.  Tyson loved Calgary!  I think it was also his age, but we loved going to the park and hanging out with Brock's cousins and all their kids!  So much fun!  I miss that great waterpark/playground.  Best park ever!  After Ty's 2nd birthday, he had a lot of change.  We moved to Chilliwack for 3 months, moved back to Calgary briefly, moved back to Edmonton, and Mommy had a baby.  That's a lot for a little guy!  He has handled it all so well.  Since becoming a big brother, Tyson has become much more independent, playing by himself so well and being so patient with both Mommy and Courtney.  Tyson just loves to play!  He has a very vibrant imagination and will always be running around with 2 toys (loves everything in pairs) having elaborate conversations and adventures!  He still loves cars but has been more interested in animal toys and little people toys.  He knows all of his letters, upper and lower case, most of his letter sounds and is getting interested in reading.  He likes to read each letter in a word in order.  He knows most of his colors and thanks to Dora says "thank you, gracious" which is pretty funny.  He loves to count in english and sometimes spanish, and knows most of his animals names.  He loves his Mommy and Daddy!  Our favorite time of day is when Daddy gets home and he runs to the door to give Daddy a big hug and kiss.  He never sits still long and is always running around, laughing and playing.  I sure love my little guy!

Birthday time!  Ty got his presents from Mommy and Daddy in the morning on his real birthday since his party wasn't for another week.  Ty was very excited!


New animal toys!  Ty loves them!


Setting up all the new animals!


I made Ty some cupcakes for his birthday....he wasn't too impressed.  He is still a super picky eater.  
Glad he liked his birthday pop tart!


Party time!  Courtney all dressed up cute in her cupcake shirt!


Balloons!  Ty loves balloons.  He was so excited and played with them hard all night!


Court wanted to play too!  So cute!


Opening presents!  Thanks to everyone who came and spoiled my little boy! He had a fabulous day and loved his presents.



Pretty sure he likes his new truck!



More cars!!


Ty's cool Planes cake!  


He thought his cake was pretty cool..


Mommy and Ty. Love you sweet boy!

Fun Fall!

It has been such a wonderful fall!  The weather has been amazing and the kids have been cute!  Little Courtney just turned 6 months and Ty will be 3 tomorrow!  More about Ty on a later post, turning 3 is special, you get your own post!  Courtney is doing amazing!  She is growing and is happy and healthy.  She is such a little doll.  She loves to get and give kisses and is a really happy little girl.  She has started eating a bit of solid food and loves it!  She is also getting on all 4's now and is trying to crawl.  Trouble!  She does about 1 step and falls and that is only when she is super excited, like when Daddy comes home!!  Love, love love her!!  I'm excited for her to crawl, but a little scared too - she will be into everything!!!  

Super cute outfit from Auntie Nicole! Disney princesses!  Perfect for my little princess!


Cute ruffle bum!


Playing with her ruffles.  So cute!


Not the best picture, but they were being so cute playing and rolling together.  Love these two!  


Looking so big!  Everyone loves Sophie!

Thanksgiving!  I loves Courtney's outfit.  So pretty.  And yes, she is strapped in, i just hid the strap under her skirt!


Love these tights from my Aunt Linda!  Little shoes!  I love tights on little girls!
