To be 4 years old...

Tyler's 4th Birthday was on Sunday. What a happy little boy. We had a party at our house on Friday with his freinds. They all had a great time in the 100 degree heat. We had a pool, slip n slide and sprinkler.

Everyone got a water gun and goggles to play with and take home.

It was also a Spiderman party. Being the wonderful mother that I am I agreed to make him this cake. It wore me out but turnd out okay, and he loved. He had a great day with all his friends and was just so happy to have a special day to share with them, but that of course was all about him.

On Sunday he woke up to his new bike from Jeff & I. We were all out infront of the house at 7:30am in our pj's watching him master it. The other thing he got was a guitar from Dylan. Dylan was tired of him trying to play with Dads Guitar Hero guitar and thought that having his own to play with would be a good idea. Tyler found the headphones all on his own (yeah!). Now if we could only get him to share with Dylan... Well, we love our Tyler and are glad he had a great 4th. Even though he is a handful most of the time and thinks the world revolves around him most of the time, he really is a sweet boy who at the end of the day came up to Jeff and I and said "Mommy and Daddy, thank you for all of my Birthdays and my bike! I love you so much!" followed by really big hugs and kisses. We love you too Ty Ty!

Outside fun!

Cute, cute friends!

We have the cutest friends. We love when Jaeden and Avery come to play with us. Tyler and Jaeden are best buds. A little bit of a love/hate relationship but they are alway the first to think of the other. Notice Avery has on Tyler's shoes. I love that girl.

His new thing

Dylan has learned this great new trick from his big brother. He can reach anything if he can drag a chair to it. It is driving me crazy, but sometimes he is just to cute to get angry, even when he dove into the chocolate cake. He was so proud of himself.

Number Three!

We had our ultrasound yesterday. Baby Megerle is officially a BOY! There was no mistaking it. After you have seen "boy parts" as they like to call them at the appointment, as much as we have you know exactly what you are seeing. We are excited, the boys/Tyler is very excited. He has been telling us it is boy for a while now and that girls cry to much, which I guess means we can't have one. Anyway, a girl would definitely have been different and I think that Jeff would have loved it, but boys seem to be what we know and can be trusted with. My scanner for some reason isn't working so I will keep trying to post the ultrasound pictures but I am not sure I can get it to work. He actually wasn't very cooperative so none of the pictures are all that great if you don't know what you are looking at. I hope everyone is having a good week, I am going to try to be a little better with my blogging this month so stay tuned. We love and miss you all!

Our May

Here are some happening from May. It was a really great month with a trip to Grandma Megerle's and the the Texas heat really hitting hard. We were suppose to have our ultrasound last week and have been rescheduled twice so today is finally the day and I will let you know.

Daddy's Helper

Dylan is fascinated by the lawn mower and really anything that Daddy may be doing "oussside." We have a little mower for him to push but it has proven not to be good enough for him, he wants the real deal.

Last Day of School

Tyler's last day of school was two weeks ago. They ended the year with a little music program all in Spanish. They have a Spanish lesson once a week and have been learning the songs all year. Notice Tyler's hair... he insisted that I spike it all up for him with gel. He loves school and his school does have a summer program, but we decided this summer we are going to be doing swim lessons so we will start again in the fall.

My Guitar Hero

This happens a couple times a week. I can't find Dylan and hear just a small clicking sound. Well here he is... he has dragged the guitar from Guitar Hero into our room and is lounging on our bed playing away all alone. No the game isn't even on, he just likes to sit and pretend. This cracks me up. I love that he even puts the strap around his head.

Random May Pics

What are you looking at? I do not plan on climbing up in this table, promise.

Just kidding, here I come!

We love the bath. Well, sort of, this just happened to be a good day. (Amy, I found the water color tablets just at Walmart, I think it was you that I talked about this with?)

So I try to get them to wear these hats outside like when we go to the lake or whatever, I know dorky, but I am worried about the sun, and of course they don't want to and throw them back at me. But we get home and the rest of the afternoon they won't take them off inside. Dylan walks around saying "hat, hat" the rest of the day. Silly kids.I wish this picture had turned out. The autofocus was obviously not working as fast as I was, and of course the minute they both saw the camera they moved and wouldn't go back. It was just so cute of them laying on eachother watching cartoons together.Say CHEESE!!!

F-O-R-E-V-E-R

Just kidding.... Saturday, May 3rd, was our 5th anniversary and it hasn't been forever but somedays are still a little longer than others, but probably more because of the kids then anything. LOL! We didn't do a whole lot. My totally non gamer husband decided we needed to get a Wii, not really for the Wii itself but so that we could get Guitar Hero.

Happy Anniversary!Really, Jeff is not into video games at all, so this was really weird. I guess while I was in Utah with the kids a couple of weeks ago he played it at a friends house and he has been on the hunt for it ever since. Guitar Hero wasn't that hard to find, but the Wii's don't stay in stock for very long around here so that took a while. Well, anyway we got it all on Friday and spent most of the day Saturday playing away. I wish I had taken pictures. We played in our pajamas until mid afternoon when I couldn't take it anymore and decided we should try to be a little productive for the day. Tyler was more upset then anyone and now everyday he asks if he can play the WE! He likes to do the boxing which he is actually really good at. Anyway, Jeff and I went to dinner and then dessert at Cheesecake Factory that night remembering old times and making plans for the future. We had a great day with the kids and the next time we are playing Guitar Hero in our pj's I will snap some shots.

SUPRISE!

Yes, suprised is exactly how I feel. Also a little overwelmed and just trying not to cry at the thought of three... Anyway, the details. Due-October 9th. Find out what we are having in 4 weeks, which means that I am 16ish weeks now. Send me some positive thoughts, I am trying really hard to have them on my own.

Freckles!!!

That is right, my precious Dylan is getting freckles and they are way to cute! I think he is going to have the freckle jean that I am so proud of. Tyler has a few and they are cute, but they never started appearing this early, 16 months, so I think they are here to stay and hopefully get more!

Happy Easter!

We had a good Easter. I didn't take many pictures of the actual day, but we went to a few parties and egg hunts in the weeks before.

"Let me in!"

Brothers chillen and eating there snack. And Finally there true colors shining through...This was our first Easter of Tyler's four years at home. This is Sunday morning hunting for egg around the house.

New York

I went away for the First Annual Girls Weekend. I knew it was time to get away when Jeff mentioned that he had never been alone with Tyler overnight before and he is almost 4 years old. Anyway... we went to New York City and had a blast. We saw the broadway show Wicked, which I highly reccommend to everyone, ate at a restaurant in Little Italy and had the best pasta I have ever had, road the subway everywhere, took a scary taxi ride to and from the temple, went to the Statue of Liberty, and finally went to the tennis match of my life time and saw my hero Pete Sampras.

The Girls waiting to go into Wicked.

Getting on the subway in Time Square.

It was very windy and chilly at the Statue of Liberty but well worth the trip.

Finally to the big tennis showdown between Pete Sampras and Rodger Federer. Yes, we were a little early, note the empty seats, but it was actually sold out and well worth the wait. Pete is my all time favorite player and he is retired now so you don't get to see him play very often, he was and is the best player setting records that have yet to be broken. Rodger Feder is ten years younger and the current number one player in the game now and yes, admittedly catching up to Petes records.

In the end it was a great match, however Pete lost in a very intense third set tie break. I was a little sad but still so happy and greatful I got to see my favorite player in action.
