My little man!!

I wanted to post some picture of Tyler growing up around his birthday but I never got around to it. Here are a few from the past 3 years.


Last year at Halloween Tyler was a pirate pumpkin and Ainslee was a fairy princess.
He did this himself he thought it was hilarious.

His fourth birthday. We had it at the park with all his friends from church.

Bob the builder Halloween at three years old.

My two week vacation from Iraq. I had just told him I had to leave again.

Two years old camping trip.

After his second birthday party playing with Amy in the back yard.

He loved Elmo at that age.

Family hike at two years old

one of my favorites

Our county fair!!

We had a ball at the fair on Tuesday. We looked on line and found out that Tuesday all the rides were a dollar so we jumped on the chance to save money and have fun. Tyler really enjoyed this dinosaur ride. I think that and the train were his favorite.

Ainslee liked the goats for about ten whole minutes(that is a long time for her). It was really neat they had little kids showing the goats and whoever could keep the best control of the animal won. This group was in elementary school.

Ainslee really liked the big slide. She was excited to be able to climb so high without being fussed at.

The ferris wheel Ainslee was in heaven she had been wanting to ride this all day. I think we could have just gone home after this one.

Tyler really liked it too.

All in all I think it was a great family time. We came, we saw, we rode.

Ainslee's hair!!!! ;(

I let the kids color and cut out some pictures after church today bad idea!! Ainslee decided she needed to cut her hair. I was so sad I finally had it grown out to where it was cute and long.

Do you see the big chunk taken out. Thinking to out smart her I had pulled up the top part of her hair. But she went straight for the back!! I just did not make it to her in time.

So I gave her this cute little cut. Granted I am not by any means a professional but I could not let her go out with half her hair missing.

Tyler is 5!!!!

I woke Tyler up on his birthday with cinnamon rolls. He was not exactly happy(he is not a morning person). while he was at school Ainslee and I decorated his room with balloons and wrote Happy Birthday on his chalkboard.




He was so excited to finally be 5. He was begging us all day to open his presents. So we had a little family party and let him open one.


He was so excited to have some of his friends over for a party. We had a house full. We planned on having it at the park but it started to rain. We also had his cousins come including Amy his best friend. I think there ended up being sixteen kids and around ten adults. We had fun with a dinosaur cake and all.

update

Sorry it has been so long I started a business. I am now selling Premier Designs Jewelry out of my home. I go and do home shows the hostess recieves 10% of all the sales and I receive 50% of the sales. I absolutely love it and getting a ton of jewelry is not a bad thing either. So if anyone reading this wants a show just leave me a message and we can set one up.

Also Tyler has experienced his first spirit week at a high school. He goes to our local high school for pre-k and loves it. They are dressing up every day to help support the school. Monday he was dubbed Mr. Tacky we managed to dress him in the tackiest outfit in the class. Then Tuesday he dressed like his Grandpa Caldwell. Today he dressed like he just came out of the movie Grease. Tomorrow is college day and we don't seem to have a clemson outfit for him in this size. So I am trying to come up with something.

I promise to post some pictures at the end of the week along with his birthday party pictures from this weekend.
