Kyle turns Two

October 14th Kyle turned Two! He had a great day filled with friends, brothers, presents and Elmo cake.

He loved opening presents even if his brothers did most of the work.

Grandma Megerle gave him this bird from the Dr. Seuss book, "Oh say can you say?" He is really not so sure about it but we keep reading the book hoping he might warm up to it. It is kinda funny how he reacts to it.

He loved his Elmo cake! It made him so happy. We sang Happy Birthday as many ways as we could think. It is his favorite song.

He is such a funny little boy. So much attitude out of such a little person is really hard to explain. I think the best word to describe him is Intense. Once he makes up his mind on something there is no changing it. No matter what. Usually everything goes down in a very dramatic fashion no matter where we are. From this two year old, it is really something to see. Oh well, we love him anyway and are happy he is ours to love forever.

Pumpkin Patch with Friends

We went with our playgroup friends to the pumpkin patch.

At least they are both in the picture.

The tractor ride is out favorite part.

This is Kyle with his buddy Marshall.

We love Pumpkins!

For the love of my Boys

I have decided to suck it up and endure the love they have for our trailer, camping in the middle of no where, and watching dirt bike racing. Not every weekend like some would hope, but occasionally I will make an effort. Like this one time in September.

This is in our trailer. It was so hot the weekend we went I was thankful for the air conditioned trailer. Also for portable electronic devices and the quiet time it brought to the inside of the air conditioned trailer. They just love it so much it kills me! Being in it, sleeping in it, playing in it, eating in it, using the bathroom in it, and driving me crazy in it.

Dylan got to sleep on the top buck for the first time. Very exciting.

Kyle figured out his spot and how we could get what he wanted easily.

It was a really hot day. I don't know how they can race like that. 70 minutes trying to see how many laps they can do in a 100 degree weather? Sure sounds like a good time! And do you see all that dirt? I hate dirt. Yuck!

I love them so much and that is why I am trying. We shall see.

Preschool

Dylan started preschool at the beginning of September. He goes twice a week and loves it.

The Greatest Show on Earth! For Real!

At the end of August we went to the Circus! It was awesome! I have never been to the circus and can I just say we will be going back! Oh, and the kids really liked it too!

It was at least 100 degrees out but we took the kids to see the animals before the show anyway. It just made us more excited to get inside to the AC and see the show!

Zing! Zang! Zoom!

This is a great picture of our cute friend Jaeden fascinated by what is going on.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Jeff turned 32 at the end of August!

He wanted nothing fancy. Just chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Not my favorite, but I guess it was HIS birthday.

The boys loved all the candles. I think that is the most candles we have ever put on a cake, and it wasn't even 32.

First Grade

Tyler started First Grade! Thanks goodness! It has been a long summer for me and it was time for he and I to have some time apart.

He loves school. He has a great teacher, she is awesome. And now that he is first grade he gets his own desk and even gets to keep all of his things in his own pencil box. His own crayons, 2 glue sticks and his very own scissors. Very exciting.

Cabelas

We went on trip to Cabelas with some friends. We even got a guided tour. It was interesting to have someone explain some things as we walked around.

We were there for the fish feeding.

More fish feeding.

Tyler's favorite part. The shooting gallery at the end.

Watering the Grass?

When Jeff turns on the sprinkler to water the grass, for some reason the kids think that it is time to get wet. It is fun to watch and they have so much fun together so I guess no big deal. It is usually in the evening and we are getting ready for showers and jammies anyway. They love it!

Blue Bell Ice Cream

If you don't live in Texas you are missing out. We have Blue Bell Ice Cream and it is delicious! We took a little drive out to Brenham Texas to tour the factory. It was a fun trip with our friends and well worth the free scoop at the end of the tour.

We learned a lot. Like that they use milk from 50,000 cows a day. And that they flash freeze the ice cream up side down to get that fresh (hard to pull the lid off your brand new carton of ice cream) seal.

Dylan enjoyed the Krazy Kookie Dough! (not a great pic but he was lovin it)
