Cards

Another fellow card makers and myself wanted to do something for breast cancer awarness month. We both make baskets of cards to be used in a local raffle. The cards turned out great but I need to work on my photo taking skills!! :)

This is done in browns, not the purple that it looks like!

I forgot to rotate the picture before I posted it! :)

This is the final basket! I grouped cards together and it looked really nice and simple when it was done, but I took the pictures so fast that I did myself no justice! It will be at the Montana Styling Salon, until they have the drawing on the 24th during a fundraiser they do!

This was a really fun birthday card I made for a bug themed birthday party!!

FOOD!!

The boys love food! They are both really good eaters and Zane will try pretty much anything and he will either eat it or play with it. But he will tell me when it is mmmmm, yuckky or ewww!!

Corn on the cob was a good hit!! He ate it like a champ!!

Tyson thought the meat in his mess feeder was great! He sucked and chewed on them until they had no moisture in them!!

Snack time! I usually like him to sit in his chair, but he had to eat on his own, and it ended up being on the floor in front of his chair! He is good about eating his snack and not making a huge mess, but a minor one!

Nap time!!

Tyson has alway been a good sleeper! Sometimes a little to good! He will be playing and fall asleep for a little while on the floor, wake up and been in a good mood still. He has always woke up in a good mood, usually smiling! I went to take a shower, got done and found him sound asleep like this on a couple different morings!!

This was my favorite! His left arm is hooked on the side like he was chillen and then just nodded off!!

Clowning around, Halloween in the future!!

The boys are borrowing these hats from grandpa John, Zane found them and was putting them on himself and Tyson! He is the one who put it on backwards, it looked so cute and I to leave it. Tyson was not sure what was going on, but he was game to play with big brother!

At times it sat so low on Zane head he had his head tipped back to see out of it.

Poor Tyson could not see out from under his!!

Wild little man on the loose!!

Birthday party!!

We were invited to a birthday party for friends of ours! Zane had a blast!! He played with the other little kids, painted a pet rock (he still plays with), made a bug box and put plastic bugs in it, playing on different toys, and played in the one mud puddle on the property!! Im so glad that we went I met some new people and had a great time myself. Tyson was a trooper the whole time, smiling for anyone that said hi to him. I did not get too many pictures Scott had one and I had the other. But we all had a good time.

Zane playing with Chase and looking at chickens!!

The start of the mud puddle....thinking about it......

I just had to walk thru it!! Im suprized that he did not splash around in it more, he usually does play in puddles like a pro! I had to laugh that Zane and Avery were in the puddle at the same time, they are only a few weeks apart in age! I found it cute and glad that I got this photo!!

This is how I kept track of him!! He would not hold still to have the balloon tied to his wrist, so I got it on his pants!! He thought the balloon was the coolest thing! I was trying to figure out why, and he has never been around balloons, so this was a really cool new thing for him. We have family allergic to latex so we never have balloons around, some things you just find normal are a really a new adventure to some!! He had fun with it for the next day, and then he popped it!!

Smiles = trouble, not these two!!

I have no idea how I caught these two holding still long enoght to get this picture done! Zane is looking at me and I am holding the camera to the side to get them head on.

Zane was drinking out of my coffee cup (it was empty or someone would have to check me in). After he takes a drink he says awww!

Boys playing!

Tyson loves to be in this walker, he is really trying to move it himself. Zane like to give him his little toys on it for Tyson to play with. One day (of course I did not get it on film) Zane was helping unload the dishwasher and has a large plastic spoon. He went over to Tyson to show him, Tyson grabbed on and would not let go and Zane pulled him across the kitchen with it. It was the cutest thing.

I love the way Zane pulls and pushes him around. Just a little side note, when this was filmed, Tyson weighed in at about 20ish pounds (last week at his 6 month appt, 22.8 lbs)!! Plus the walker was mine when I was that age, so it has a little weight to it. It does not sound like a lot, but it is amazing to me! And the way he had to line it up against the wall. After he "parked" Tyson, he took all the bumpers off from the base, so we had to put zip ties to keep them on!

Baseball game

Zanes first ball game and I forgot the camera so these are from my phone!! Thank goodness for technology!! He had a great time, Tyson did really well! We got a table down the first base line, had the stroller and the boys had a great time!! Scott and I did not do so bad either!! I won a gift card to the Rib and Chop shop, and Scott won one to Hooligans! Food and drinks were cheaper because it was the last game and the program were free!! We will be going to games next summer, it is so family friendly I wish we would have gone to more this summer!! But both boys will be a great ages to go to the games!!

Labor Day Weekend!! The zoo!

We took the boys to the zoo on labor day weekend! They had a great time looking at the animals and the people. Zane saw most of the animals and pointed them out.

This is at the bear cage. He stood by the glass and looked around. the bear is just above his hand.


The tiger was just out laying in the sun.

These little guys played with Zane and Scott. They followed fingers on the glass, so Zane tryed it and they followed him. I had Tyson so I did not get the all the pictures, but it was cute to watch. When we left the water otters, he held his hand and said "oh geez" and shook his head. He wanted to stay and play with them some more.

When we left the zoo, we went into the gift shop and he picked out a goofy bird to play with and then a little plastic otter. We got him the otter. He still plays with it.

He did not say much with the eagles, it was the first stop, so I think he was still taking it all in.

The wolves were next to the trail which suprized me, and he pointed them out and made his dog impression!

It was soo much fun. Zane had a hay day playing in the play ground, his favorite is the slides.
