Been Awhile

Wow, the month is almost over! This has been one of those months where we haven't really been up to much but it has seemed so busy. October is always such a fun month so I am excited that its almost here!Brayden's latest obsession is dinosaurs! It all started with the new show on PBS called dinosaur train. It's seriously a genius show...what little boy doesn't love dinosaurs and trains combined! He now knows the names of dinosaurs that I can hardly even pronounce so at least he's learning something from it. He even knows which ones are carnivores or herbivores...seriously, who needs preschool when you have PBS! :)

Tyler is 7 1/2 months already and is seconds away from crawling (He's up on the hands and knees rocking!) I can remember being SO excited for Brayden to crawl but now I know better! I want Ty to stay still as long as he can because I'm pretty sure my life will be chaos when he can move! Most of Brayden's toys are probably choking hazards so my life will become operation keep Tyler alive. So ya, I am not encouraging the crawling! :) But he is scooting here and there, he just never goes very far so I can handle that! He has his 2 bottom front teeth and is working on a few more I think.

Ty woke up with a milk moustache today from his late night snack. How can you not smile waking up to that! :)

My very own frog and duck!

And they are clean ones, which are the best kind! :)

Self portrait

I had to laugh when I turned on my camera and found all of these! Apparently Brayden found my camera and was trying really hard to get a good picture of himself!I especially love the up the nose shots!

It's a beautiful day...

First of all, its my Grandma Richardson's birthday today so I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her!

Hope you have a great day Grandma and we can't wait to see you soon! :)

And to make it even better, it is also the start of Ohio State Football today! Ahh, how I love this time of year! Fingers crossed for a good season!

GO BUCKS!!!

Elise and I last year with the crazy expensive Brutus :)

Love it!

Mohawks on babies...always cute! And isn't this sign awesome!!!

Ohio-Part 2

Here's the rest of my pictures from our Ohio trip. My sister Melissa was there for part of it and we had SO much fun hanging out with her every day. My brother Jason was in band camp for most of the week and Kelly still had to work lots but we did manage to all go to zoomkbezi bay water park one day which was really fun. Here's a few pics of some of what we did:

This is the castle park in upper arlington that my grandma used to take us to all the time when we were little. Like a year ago, melissa and tried to find it and couldn't but this time we were successful and we were so excited to play on it!! Many good hide and seek tag games were played here back in the day! :) Melissa, Kyle, BB, and Eddie the dog. We took him with us and he loved it!
Ty was a happy little guy just hanging out in his stroller
And Brayden was really good at hanging just like his monkey blackie
Eddie and Kyle



Hello down there!
Lissa and Ty

All of us with a timed shot on the camera...not bad :)

Me, Kyle, and the boys all went on a tour of the anthony thomas candy factory and it was so cool. They were making buckeyes that day and it was cool to see how it was done...plus you got a free buckeye candy for going on the tour which is so worth it!!

This is a 235 pound chocolate buckeye. Gross! That is so much chocolate! It's only $3500 to buy!

Ty lost in the middle of Kyle's huge stuffed animal collection

Flying Eddie

Kyle and BB swimming

And Ty likes to swim too but he was happier rolling around on a towel in the shade

We went to the columbus zoo twice and had so much fun. I love this zoo!

They had a baby elephant that was the same age as Tyler. It was SO cute!
I thought Ty was asleep but then I looked down and saw this peeking out! Made me laugh

Brayden was excited to see Fluffy the snake. He saw a picture of him at the airport!

He looks a little scared, don't you think!

Just taking a little rest real quick

Riding on the train

Sweaty little Ty

So thats the rest of our Ohio trip. We had a blast and we miss everyone there so much! It was so fun to get to stay so long and spend so much time with everybody! Good thing we'll be back at Christmas!! :) Can't wait!
