Our Family Day Adventure

We designated a Family Day in our hectic schedule for all fun all day. We started with a yummy breakfast and then spent the afternoon on the river in Steve's boat. We took an adventure to Cook Island - a small island that is only accessible by boat.

Steve and Ty have been taking the boat out lately fishing for sturgeon. After catching and releasing more then twenty fish that weren't big enough he finally caught a "keeper" that was 42 inches long. I'll have to get the picture from his iPhone so you all can be amazed.

The island was turned into a park for boaters. It has picnic areas with BBQ pits and even one with a fireplace (behind Steve). They also have the nicest pit potties that I have ever used. A big deal for us girls!!

After walking around the island we had a picnic and enjoyed a little good old fashioned junk food.

Come experience this cuteness!

Big Boy Car Seat

My baby is too big for his infant car seat! He is getting sooooooo big way too fast. 7 months now with two baby teeth and almost crawling. I love you my big boy but slow down!!!!!

Holiday Cheer

Here are a few more Christmas moments of 2009

Colton's first visit with Santa wasn't the best experience for him but he sure liked to help Aunt Shell hand out books to the kids!

At our Christmas program at church Tyler was Joseph and yes, my little one was Baby Jesus. They both did a great job. Colton smiled and played with his toes the whole time! Too Cute!!

Best of Friends!

Ty and Becca

We pray that you all have a glorious Christmas!

A Merry Christmas Update

If know that being a mother of two isn't an excuse as of why I haven't been a committed blogger lately, but I am just plain tired by the time it is time to take out the computer. One thing I am good at is taking pi cutes, so I will have some great pics to share when I get the itch to blog again. Here are a few moments I captured in the last few weeks. I pray that you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

Ty's birthday this year fell on Thanksgiving day. Yep, his Daddy got him a BB gun and he is the happiest boy on Earth!

My Santa Baby braved the crazy Black Friday crowds with Mom, Aunt and Grandma. He smiled and melted people's hearts all day long.

The boys decorating the Christmas Tree!

Ty made a gift for Steve and I at preschool that he was very proud of.

And Mom loved it!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!!!

Carnival Fun

After the Rodeo Tyler went on a carnival ride spree. He filled his pockets with tickets (stupid expensive!) and tried every ride he could.

Cole missed out on the whole night time Carnival experience!

Daddy wasn't able to go, so Uncle J had the fun of going on most of the rides. So we thought!

Aunt Shell and Cole won this sward for Ty playing a goofy game.

Ty had to count his tickets every single time he went on a ride.


Jeff and I went up with him on the Farris Wheel. I don't remember the last time I was on one of those.

At the very top!

Aunt Shell got to go on the Dizzy Dino ride. They were twirling around so much I couldn't get a picture of them.

This was Ty's third time riding the Caterpillar roller coaster. I went with him the first time and showed him that we hold up our arms and scream like crazy people around the corners and hills. My crazy son decides to take it one step farther and.......

......stand up on them instead! I about had a heart attack. And when I looked back at my pictures and found this one I couldn't believe it.

The good ol' merry-go-round.

I thought that this picture was kinda cool!

Grandma got sucked into the fun as well. She knew that when she was a kid she could go on any ride. But that was when she was a kid! After this ride she looked a little green!

My brave man went up a huge set of stairs al by himself to get to the top of this slide. Just watch!

I think Mom had as much fun as the kid here!

We ended up closing the place down that night. Ty barely made made it out of the parking lot before he was asleep. It was a great day!

Fair Day 2

We decided to go back to the fair for a look at all of the animals and maybe a deep fried Twinkie or two!

Cole loves his Uncle J!

How cheezy can you get?

Ty loved feeding the horses. They are his favorite.

It was a very hot day and both of the boys had had enough of the fair.

Time to head home!

A Ride To The Park

During a visit to Aunt Judy's to see our new baby cousin Anna Marie, we took a trip down to the park. Tyler and Dylan had to ride their bikes. Tyler's first big bike ride! He was so excited.

Cole and Anna Marie loved their stroller rides





We all enjoyed the park!
