Family

Today in church we learned about the importance of family; So, I just want to take this opportunity to let all my family members know how much I love and appreciate them. I come from such a wonderful family and am now blessed to have a wonderful family of my own. I love you Jonathan, Tyler  and Haylie.

Autumn Festival

Saturday went up to Anthem for the Autumn Festival; the festival wasn't very exciting but the company was great. We came, We saw, We snacked and We left. After the festival Shannyn and John were kind enough to have us over for a bbq, yummy yum!  Later the was some serious Rock Bank to be played.

Rock on with your bad selves!

A day at the zoo

Finally, some sweater weather!!

I know it's hard to believe when the rest of the country is enjoying wonderful fall weather, we're still in the mid 90's, but yesterday was a super cool 68 here in good old Gilbert AZ. It was great, we all finally had a reason to wear our sweaters!! Our friends from Surprise AZ, John & Minerva and their daughter came down to visit and joined us at SanTan Village, which is a really neat outdoor mall. HOORAY FOR FALL!

Haylie & Tyler

Haylie is trying to beat the heat a little bit by wearing some super cool sunglasses. Tyler is just being goofy Tyler. Haylie is close to 9 lbs now, and almost 2 months old!!! my how fast time flies. Tyler is still improving his "not the only child anymore" thing, but he is really being a good little helper with her.

Just cause she's cute!

What the?!? Haylie is a month old??

Hard to believe that Haylie is a month old already, seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Anyway here's a cute picture of Steph and Haylie in ( surprise, surprise)

matching outfits. They are both doing very well Haylie is still having a hard time sleeping at night, so you know what that means... no sleep for Steph either. As for me, Steph has been kind enough to let me get some sleep, thanks!  Not much else going on... Oh!...  I've also posted a few other things below this one. 

Boy, Haylie is growing so fast, it's funny we never really noticed it with Tyler but with Haylie we are noticing it everyday. Here are a couple of pictures of the two just having a little brother-sister fun. Tyler is a great big brother and is finally getting used to the whole family of four thing.

Here is Tyler... well ... uh ... going back to his baby roots. Every once and a while he will insist that he is a baby too! so instead of trying to explain to him that he isn't, we let him have a little baby fun time. Hope this doesn't last to much longer!

So my mom and dad came to visit us to see Tyler & Haylie, these are just a couple of pics of my dad and his grand kids. I'll post some of my mom too since she is staying with us for a couple of weeks.
