Happy Birthday Abraham!

We were so excited to celebrate Abraham's "Happy Day". Since our neice, Madison, was able to schedule surgery for her cochlear implant on Abe's actual birthday, we did our little celebration the Sunday before.

After much deliberation, I made him a fire truck cake. He loved it.

We were so excited that Grandma Red could be with us to celebrate.

It took awhile until he caught on to the concept of opening presents. It was very cute to watch him!

The Boyers also joined in the celebration. Maddie takes opening presents very seriously.

Abe & Tyler both loved the "Cozy Coupe" car!

Enjoying our cake and icecream.

Of course, Tami and Jared tried to sneak Tyler his first taste of ice cream.

We love you Abraham! I hope you really had a "Happy Day"

Stay tuned for a post on what we did on his actual birthday!

Video Update

Here is a cute video of each of the boys. Enjoy!

Vacation - Last and Final Post - Carlsbad Caverns

I know, we've been home for almost a month, so it is about time I finished posting all our vacation pictures. We had a great time in the Carlsbad Cavern. It was gorgeous and amazing in there. Tyler enjoyed his ride in the snuggly and after about 10 minutes of being pretty scared Abe couldn't get enough of the caves. Unfortunately, in the darkness of the caves, the cameras had a really difficult time focusing and we didn't get that many pictures of the marvels that are in there. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us around New Mexico and for letting us stay. We had a great time! This is the natural entrance to the cave.

What a diva!

I guess I got Mom's beauty and brains, but not her brute strength!

Vacation - Part 5 - Roswell

After leaving White Sands, we went to a little cabin in the mountains of New Mexico to stay the night. It was a fun little place. We then traveled to Roswell, New Mexico. There isn't a lot to see (the aliens don't like to leave evidence) but we did stop to eat at the UFO McDonalds.

Abe thought it was the best that Gordon and Jessica were riding on a motorcycle.

Tyler and my Dad sitting outside our cabin.

Quite the McDonald's, isn't it?

The playground inside was amazing.

Help, they've captured me! ET phone home!

Tyler's Four Months!

Little Ty-Ty is four months old!! We just can't imagine life without our angel baby. He is so happy and sweet and just smiles all the time. We tried really hard to get a good picture of his big open mouthed smile, but we couldn't quite capture the cuteness. He's had a little trouble lately sleeping, so we are wondering if he is teething. We've brought out the exersaucer and the Johnny Jumper and he just loves both of them. He and Abraham still get along so fantastically well. It just melts my heart when I see Abe come up and kiss Tyler or share with him. We love you Tyler! Oh and did I mention, he thinks he's Superman?

Vacation - Part 3 - Goodbye Utah

It always seems as though there is so much to do and so little time to do it while we are visiting Utah. We were able to gather together with Ken's family for some family pictures. It took a little photo shop action from Ken to get everyone looking at the camera, but the end result turned out well.

We were also fortunate to go and visit with Grandpa Bodily. We loved sitting and talking with him and Ken even got a tour of the woodshop! As Ken put it, "That is where the magic happens".

Here are the last random pictures from our trip. Abe loved playing in Grandma Carlile's backyard and helping her water the flowers. Our last night there we went to Aunt Carie's house for a barbeque and a little Wii fun. Abe loved his cousins Konnor and Cooper.

Don't you love the huge scoop of icecream?

Uh-Oh

This is Tyler's "Uh-Oh, my Mom just caught me making out with my sheep puppet again" look. I thought it was totally cute.
