Thanksgiving 2010

I love that we go to the beach every year for Thanksgiving. It is such a great time to spend with family. I was super excited about Ty going fishing. We always have a great time fishing on the inlet behind the house. We can go out back anytime we want and throw a line in. This year the weather was good and bad. Kinda windy some days.

Missy getting another pole ready. She is my go to girl when something goes wrong with my pole. (I don't touch fish or bait).
Weez was rather proud of her double catch. She had 2 blowfish on her line. I would have freaked and just cut the line. I hated catching those things and it seemed like that was all we were catching.

Ali was flying a kite here (remember it was windy). She isn't as patient to sit there but she does like to fish.
All of us out and about fishing. Ty did very well casting and reeling in. He had a lure named freddie and he "threw" him out a bunch of times.
Grandma helping Ty with a big boy rod. I think next year, we will have to take him out fishing on the boat and go clamming with us. I am already looking forward to next year and we will have a new addition with us then too!

Happy 2nd Birthday Ty

I can hardly believe we are celebrating Ty's 2nd birthday. It seems like yesterday I was bringing him home.

At the beginning of the year, I went to Tot Trade to find a pair of white dress shoes at a good price, since he will only wear them once on Easter because Travis doesn't like the shoes. When you come in, you register for all sorts of things. I registered for a free party at Monkey Joe's. I WON!!!! What what! Those parties are rather expensive, at least to me they are. So in February I had Ty's party planned.

We had a blast. Ty slid down every slide and jumped on every jump house.

He is not afraid of any caricature. He loved Monkey Joe and so excited to see him. He really liked sitting in the big chair.

He is really into Happy Birthday song. He thought it was funny we were all singing it to him. He still hasn't mastered blowing out the candle but I am sure with all the birthdays coming up, he will get lots of practice. The Elmo cake was a big hit with him. He liked the airplane a lot.
This is one of the many times he went down the slide with his Aunt Biddy.

Going down all by himself. He's a big boy now.

This is him and his friend Chase from church. They both loved the slides.

Back at home opening some presents from the family. He is pretty good at opening them, but very slooooowwww.
Aren't we a cute family.

Ty we are so proud of you. You make us smile every day with your many facial expressions and Ty'isms. You learn so fast. I love to hear you say your ABC's and count to 20!!! You have taught me shapes I didn't remember. When you say "I love you mommy" my heart just melts. The past 2 years have been so amazing and your daddy and I couldn't imagine our life without you.
