Happy Halloween!

 Tyler has been asking me to make him a super suit for months now. He has greater confidence in my sewing abilities than I do. A good deal online seemed more like my style. He's probably worn his Halloween costume half a dozen times already since it arrived at the beginning of October and last night probably won't be the last either. Tyler says he can run faster with it on. And Bryce was just about the cutest tiger I've ever seen complete with growls and roars.

 Andy wore his Cat and the Hat hat and at the last minute I decided to be Kate from the T.V. show Lost, complete with staple gray shirt, jeans, hiking boots and curly hair.

And yes! Bryce finally started walking this week! He just flipped the switch and walks everywhere now and pretty fast too. True to his personality Bryce takes his time reaching milestones and does things on his own time table. He can now get into trouble twice as fast.

Harvest Time

 Bryce helping us pick tomatoes. We ended up with such a great garden this year. Tons of squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and green peppers. About 12 butternut squash and around 15 pumpkins. We decided to pick all the orange pumpkins today to put on the front porch. Too bad none of them are big enough to carve but I was pretty proud of myself for growing them all!

 Tyler was a great help in the garden this year. He was always careful to only pick red tomatoes and big green peppers. I read that gardening teaches kids patience. I hope so.

 A rare shot where both kids are looking and happy.

 As Andy says - Bryce has a little bit of 'tude (attitude). He says his feistiness (sp?) comes from me. He was upset with me here for not letting him play in the mud.

At least he gets over it fast.

Sharing is also still tough for Bryce, especially with his brother.

Swimming Lessons

For the past month Tyler and Bryce have been taking swimming lessons at the Provo Rec Center. Tyler is in his own preschool class and Bryce and I are in the Tot class. At the beginning of the summer we took the boys to a pool and Bryce cried the whole time and Tyler wouldn't let go of us in the water. I knew they just needed more time in the water. Although neither one of them likes putting their head under the water yet, they're both so much more comfortable in the water and have loved swimming lessons. I'll add some videos once I figure out why blogger won't load them right now.
