Be Still My Heart…

The kid has it all.
He’s serious.  I call him a “deep thinker”.
He’s quirky.  I call him charismatic and captivating.
He’s bull-headed.  I call him determined.
He’s funny.  I call him witty.
He’s so DRAMATIC.  I call him riveting. 
This is a prime example….
It all started while showing a little love toward our pup.  Innocent enough, right?
Awww, you...

March 4, 2010 - 9:51 pm Jennifer - We too know drama around here far to well. It must be a 5 year old thing!! Ty looks so grown up in these pictures...they grow WAY to fast!

March 5, 2010 - 9:27 am Shannon - That is to cute !!! I love the stories behind all of the pictures !!!

March 10, 2010 - 12:57 pm Katherine - Sometimes in a very stern voice Chad or I will say to Courtney, "Courtney...we have something really important to tell you and it is best you pay attention...are you listening." In which she replies, "yes ma'am or sir" (depending) Then we'll go, "POOP!". She thinks it is the funniest thing.

Crazy Hair Day

Who would’ve believed it?  Not me.  He asked for a Mohawk this morning for school – I nearly fell over.  This is the kid that NEVER wants to participate in activities like this for fear someone, anyone, may look at him.
BUT, not today.  Today, he wanted a Mohawk for crazy hair day at school, and...

Serious Business

Not exactly sure what type of business, but it’s SERIOUS.  That’s for sure!
Of course, there’s not much that isn’t “serious business” to Ty.  I hate to see what board games will be like in a few years.

February 24, 2010 - 6:33 am MelodyA. - You guys have no snow left on the ground??

An ALL-Time Low

Yes, I’ve stooped to an ALL TIME low.
Can you guess why?
Did you know Auntie Anne’s Pretzels has a FUNDRAISER program?  Well, they do.  I, for one, am really excited about it.  I happen to LOVE Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, especially the jalapeno ones  dipped in warm yummy cheese…
You all know Ty started Pre-K this year, right? ...

September 17, 2009 - 9:00 am Amy - Dang...I'm like you I always over buy out of those school fundraiser things!!! I'm sitting here looking at the pages and almost drooling! LOL

September 17, 2009 - 3:44 pm cynthia - that's no fundraiser...that's weight watchers worst nightmare! LOL

September 17, 2009 - 11:11 pm Denice - Auntie Anne's is great. Last year i gave a box of "make at home" pretzels from AA for Christmas to cousins. They weren't frozen. It was a kit to make your own dough for the pretzels. They went over really well.

The Magic of Childhood

A little cousin worship never hurt anyone, right?

Ty and Wes both adore their cousin Kensy, but for Ty it goes beyond that.  To him she’s magical.  Kensy has hung the moon, so to speak.  I’m pretty sure she could boss him just about anywhere and he’d go along without complaint.  Yes, it’s a tiny bit...

Perfect Movie for a Cloudy Saturday

This weekend was supposed to be jam-packed with sessions, but unfortunately, the rain has thrown a kink into those plans.  At first, I was seriously stressed-out about having to reschedule sessions and find days to fit them in.  Then, I realized, a little rain is also giving me an entire weekend of uninterrupted family time. ...

Smiles…all around

Ty is adjusting to school tremendously.  He’s so excited to go to school each day – He wakes up easily, gets dressed, eats breakfast, and even puts his shoes on when I tell him to do so.  It’s a miracle, I tell ya.
Here he is seconds before heading in for DAY TWO of Pre-K.
After...

August 24, 2009 - 10:29 am Amy - Oh you're a good Mama. I'm glad he's adjusting to the new routine!! Waiting in the school lines is crazy. I've waisted 100's of hours in those lines over the years. Looks like you and little man had a blast. Love the pics as always!!

August 26, 2009 - 9:15 am Charla - Oh...these just warm my heart! I just love the one of Wes with the Target cup and when Ty first sees that you are there. I love the way you capture "real life".

First Day

Today was Ty’s “unofficial” first day of school.  For him, it’s the first organized classroom of any kind.  He’s never been to daycare and has only spent this past year going two days a week to Mother’s Day Out at our local church.  I had a feeling things would be a bit tough, and I...

Halfway through?

I was going to start this post by saying how great our summer is starting out…then I remembered, we’re halfway through July.  Seriously?  I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
Here’s a hint at how tasty our summer has been!  What about you?  Are you having as much fun as us?
We’ve become snow cone...
