The Lehr's

December has been another busy month!! We have been having a lot of fun and we are super excited for Christmas!!

Courtney is talking so much!! Its really crazy. She learns new words very easily, she usually only needs to hear it a couple times, if that!! She is a little parrot and repeats everything we say!! (Time to really watch it!!) It is really cute! I wont list all the words she knows, there are too many, but some of my favorites are: Santa, HO HO HO, Rudolph (just in time for Christmas!!), uh oh, chair, up, stuck (she learned this one from falling in the snow and I asked if she was stuck!! haha!!), help, book, duck, submarine, piano, knight, prince, princess, queen, king (she learned the last few from these stickers that she is obsessed with playing with), want hugs? (so cute!! And after she gives you a hug, she says, its niiice!! Like the chef from Little Mermaid, think "cause it makes it taste niiice!" So funny!!), tip toe (and she gets on her tip toes and tip toes!!) soo (soother....not good, she asks for it all day long, and here I was going to take it away...), ears, mouth, eyes, toes, hair. She also counts to 10!! Insane!! Tyson counts a lot and we have an advent calendar that we count on every day, so I think that is where she picked it up. I love her to bits!! She is being a bit of a terrible twoer....saying no a lot, temper tantrums.....but I'm learning which battles are worth it and which arn't. She doesn't really share, but she will say share if Ty steals her toy and sometimes she will give toys to Ty and say share, really cute. She also eats from a fork!! She is being a bit picky and throwing food on the floor a lot, but sometimes the fork is what she wants!! Really cute!! She can even poke her own chicken nugget pieces and put them in her mouth to eat!! Such a lady!! She is growing up waay too fast!!

Tyson is also doing great!! He is so cute!! He is always happy and is becoming a big boy!! I have noticed that lately I don't have to death grip hold on to him wherever I go. He will stand at the counter and wait to order and pay for food. He will wait for me to get Courtney dressed before leaving, stuff like that. He has learned all of his letter sounds!! Such a big boy!! Ty also really hates it when Courtney steals his toys, but now when she steals them he yells, Swiper!! If you see Swiper, say Swiper!! Swiper!! So funny!! He has also started to join in with my dance parties a little more, but really only to the song Bang Bang!! So funny!! He is the funniest dancer, he wants to jump but doesnt know how because he wont let his feet leave the floor, so he does this funny gallop jump thing on his tip toes. Its really awkward and funny!!

My little trouble maker!!

I love this outfit!! The pom poms on her skirt are too adorable!!

Ty is in love with Thomas trains!! If another kid has these trains at their house, he finds them and plays with them. He also loves the Thomas trains show!

Playing so nice with Natalie!!

Ty also found this toy phone and was walking around saying, hello hello and having a conversation with himself!! So cute!! He is now more interested in the phone and even said hello to Daddy on the phone one day and talked to Brock's Mom on Facetime!!

Court having a snack at our playdate. She found a cute little chair and everything!!

Cute girl!

The kids playing nice together!! Love it!!

We put our Christmas tree up at the end of November! Courtney thinks the angel is Cinderella!! Haha! And Ty kept saying, "That's a Giant Tree!"

My kids love these stickers!! Court is currently obsessed with them.

Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!! I love it!! Ty was actually interested in it this year. He loved the Thomas train balloon and the dragon one.

Court loved the dancing and would dance along with the TV. Court also loved seeing Santa and she now loves Santa! So cute!

Court eating with a fork!! Such a lady!!

We got a huge dump of snow!! So much snow!! And then it got super cold. Hibernation!!

The play house was buried!!

Ty and I played with some play dough!! He loved it!!

Court checking out the tree!!

Since it was going to be so cold and we were going to stay home for a while, we got the kids this fort builder kit!! Its super fun!! Its big, so I only bring it out once in a while, but that keeps it fun and exciting! Loved watching Ty help Daddy build the forts! So cute!!

Cute boys!!

Kids playing in the fort!! Really fun!!

Making a castle!

Cute girl!!

Playing in the castle!!

Cute dress!!

I was so excited to use this with my kids this year!! This advent calendar my brother made with my parents when he was little and I used it every year growing up!! I love it and my kids love it too!!

It warmed up so we went out to play in the snow!! So deep!! Ty was up to his knees!! I had to dig our way out into the yard!!

Ty trying to help shovel!

Court was happy sitting and eating snow.

The deep snow didn't slow down Ty at all, he loved it!!

So happy!

Court helping Mommy wash Ty's hair! So cute!

Ty playing with his army men! He was making some cool fight scenes!

This is my favorite. Those guys died I guess! Haha!

Court and her bestie Nellie!! Penny was at our playdate too and we forgot to get a picture of all 3 girls!! Bummer. Guess we have to play in the new year!!

Courting playing with the shovel!

Making a snow angel!! So cute! She thought it was funny!

Ty loves the snow.

Court stuck in the snow!! Haha!

Ty loves his big puppy!! He spins him around and makes him run around saying, woof woof woof!!

I love this picture! I asked Ty to give his puppy a hug! So cute!

Ty talking to his puppy.

Ty wanted the train to drive up the side of the Christmas tree! Haha! My kids love doing this every day and love counting the days until Christmas!

We made another snowman!! Ty loved it!

We also played with snowballs!

Ty throwing snowballs!

Ty loves the snow!! He lays in it with his face almost right in it!

Court found a little bench to sit on!

Hugs for Tigger!!

Group hug! When I'm giving Ty hugs, Court often comes up to join in!

I love cuddling and watching Frozen with Court!

Cute pigtails!!

Ty and Court were hugging and playing so cute together!!

I made these super cool cookies for the Christmas party I went to with my best girl friends!! I was so impressed with how well they turned out!! So fun!!

Court reading books in a bin! She was sitting there saying, santa!

So gross!! I wasnt paying attention and Court had decided to pile all her food on her head!!

Gross!!

Playing with bubbles!!

So cute!!

Ty's bubble head!

Ty's last day of sport ball until January!! He loves sportball!! I was so glad that I could go with him to his last class! It was so great to have some special Mommy Tyson time!!

Ty's cool All Star ribbon!!

Ty was looking at this book and he said, Halloween!! I like Halloween. Trick or Treat! How cute is that!

We took the kids to Galaxyland for a fun day! Ty had a GREAT time!

On the carousel! He wasn't too sure about this. But right when he got off, the train went by and he started running after it saying, choo choo!! It was adorable! Then we got to the train and he was saying, train train! Choo choo!

He also loved this ride where you can ride different cars. He went on it 3 different times and I think he wanted to try every car! Haha!

Super blurry picture, it actually goes pretty fast, but Ty is giving Brock big smiles!! This picture makes me want to maybe get a super nice camera.....or just something pretty good with some amazing image stabilization....suggestions??

Court gets super attached when we go out, so she pretty much has to be held in a hug on all the rides, she isn't ready to sit by herself.
