Moments

During Tyler's first year, I pulled my camera out at least once a month so I could take photos of him. They change so much that first year.

Now that he's one and I have no plans to take photos on the 18th of each month, I don't get my camera out as often. I decided to pull it out yesterday and capture a few more memories of these little boys. Tyler was less than excited. So after a few shots, I put it away until later, hoping he'd be happier. But I still love the images I got. Not all moments are happy in life. For all of us. Kids just seem to be able to express that more easily than adults at times. 

When Tyler was born, Sam was 20 months old. I had a really tough time adjusting to 2 kids.

They were both needy, Tyler more so, and I wondered what on earth we were thinking.

As they have gotten a year older and are starting to play together, I wouldn't change a thing.

Lately Tyler has enjoyed it when we growl like dinosaurs at him. He'll put his arms up like this and just laugh, giving us an occasional roar himself.

We had 4 picnics in the space of a week with the warm weather and spent a ton of time outside.

Travis and I went to see Beauty and the Beat opening night and it was wonderful!

We bought a bike trailer and I have been loving having it so much. The boys enjoy riding and it keeps them contained and I get some exercise and we're outside. It's like a win-win-win-win!

We also have continued working on some projects for our home--Travis made a shelf/coat rack

and I painted it.

This is Sam's favorite story right now. We read it every night before bed. He can now read it to us. :)
