What a big boy...

Here is Tyler sitting in a high chair at a restaurant. We had to use the napkin as a bib. There is just far too much stuff to remember now when we go out...diapers, bottle, formula, baby food, spoons, bib, and on and on...

Gobble Gobble...

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! We had so much fun yesterday with the family and celebrating Tyler's first Thanksgiving feast. My mom came into town on Wednesday and my in-laws came over to help out with the meal. Andy had to work but was home by 2:30. Tyler started sitting up all by himself for the first time and he started moving around very well on the floor doing the army crawl. We very very tired after eating all of the food and the triptophan really got to us. Gotta love Thanksgiving!

Tyler hanging out with Grammie.

Tyler's new favorite toy...a spoon. It's the simple pleasures in life.

Grandpa and Grammie were trying to teach Tyler how to smell the flowers.

Our feast.

One of the many things I am thankful for...Andy.

Strike...

Tyler had fun with Mommy and Daddy on his first bowling adventure. He was very interested in all that was around him. The new sounds and sights were fascinating. He is now sitting up in high chair at restaurants and growing up to be such a big boy! We are having a blast.

This is so much fun! He likes bowling about as much as he likes his food.

Daddy's biggest fan watching and cheering him on.

Fun in the Sun...

The Sunshine State that is! Andy and I went on a trip to Florida, thanks to his company, to celebrate him earning "Account of the Year" at work. There was a big hoopla in Orlando, which I couldn't attend but was great for Andy to be recognized. So, that being said, we were off to Florida to enjoy a vacation (just the two of us), relaxing in a hammock, the sunshine, and of course...Walt Disney World! We had a blast at Epcot and the Magic Kingdom acting like kids and goofing off. I had a chance to see my cousin Nick twice. It was great catching up with him because we have not seen each other in about 10 years or maybe even more than that. I am glad we made it out there to enjoy the heat because we got our first snow yesterday.

Entering Epcot...

Mickey and I hanging out.

"Goof"ing around with Goofy.

Andy's favorite duck without pants.

Fun in France...can you see the Eiffel Tower?

My belly dancing getup and Andy in his Fez.

In Japan with the Epcot ball in the background.

Hangin' with the naked guy in Italy.

In a German village.

China was undergoing construction.

The Norwegian vikings. Nice braids, Andy...you blond bombshell, you.

A fiesta anyone?

Off to the Magic Kingdom...

That is happy Walt...look closely.

The Jungle Cruise...maybe one of the best Disney rides.

Did you know that a different Disney guest is picked to stay in this castle every night? If you are headed to Disney World be sure to pack your princess dress and mouse ears to impress the employees. Thanks for the trivia Nick. Too bad it wasn't us. Maybe next time...

Of course we didn't forget to get Tyler his own Mickey hat.

Chili's has a new mascot...

Our little chili pepper was so adorable on Halloween night. We think he has the new gig as the Chili's spokesperson. What do you think? Andy, Tyler and I spent some time with Barb and Steve on Halloween and hung out, ate pizza, and passed out candy to the neighborhood kids. Tyler was in his costume for about 10 minutes and then he fell asleep. It was a little overwhelming for him I guess.

Tyler with Grandpa before the night got going.

Our little chili pepper looking so cute.

This could be fun...

Okay...maybe not so much fun now. Now I am a pot of chili. Is this chili abuse?

I hope they don't eat me...
