We hit the trail

We recently went down to Saylorville Lake on one of the many bike trails there. It was such a gorgeous day. The trail was pretty quiet, which was great because Ty has no concpet of "staying to teh right." We also stopped at one of the trail's playgrounds. I love days like these!

Donkey?

It's been 4 months now since we've brought Molls home. She has come such a long way and has really begun to show her personality. She truly is a gentle giant and the sweetest dog I have ever met, but she still lacks some confidence, falls down all 6 deck stairs at least once a week and still has a harder time adjusting around men. She really has been a great addition to our family and it only continues to get better. She is hyterical!



Had Ty been standing stright up and Molls straight up, she is taller than Ty!



She has definitely grown into her bowls.



Building up the confidence to walk up the deck stairs. Bless her heart - she still has no idea how to operate those long legs.



An action shot!


She chewed off one of the wooden steps on the rope ladder and now it's one of her favorite toys!

Science Center Field Trip

Ty had another field trip last Friday. This time we went to the Science Center. This field trip was one of the better one's with tons of stuff to do for all the kiddos and we even got to bring a sack lunch and eat it there (Ty loved that part).

It feels so good!

Finally! We are able to go outside. There might still be snow on the ground, but the sidewalks were all cleared off so Ty got out and rode his bike again! He was a little rusty at first, but quickly caught on again and was off. How great it will be when we can do this on a daily basis!

Such a comedian

Ty is seriously hilarious! These photos are just 1/4 of his humor and character!

The Snack Pack makes some Puddin'

My sweet little boys helped me make some pudding for desert after dinner. They love helping in any way they can when it comes to making sweets! I welcome anytime I get to spend with them- before I know it, they won't have time for ol' mom and dad! ;-)
