More Picture with Hannah

Gosh! We took a lot of pics with Miss Hannah. We sure did enjoy watching her! (Maybe one day we will have our own! Just not sure if we can give up the sleep yet. ) Once we got her to sleep Friday night, she slept the whole night. This we were very thankful for. :-) On Saturday, we went to the donut store and Hannah just had to have a taste of ours. Her waffle was just not as exciting! We went outside and played in the pool. When it was nap time, we all took a LONG nap. Before Shelly and Wes returned, we wanted to make sure she was nice and sweet, so we took her for one more treat. We went and got snowcones; only this time, Hannah had her own. I love being the aunt so I can spoil (and then send home!) Miss Hannah has blessed our lives so much by her endless giggles, screams of joy, and cuddles! Thank you, Lord, for this precious child.


This is a cat toy that I bought Baxter. He loves to hunt for the little critter. Hannah decided to try it out.


Uncle James is showing Hannah how to throw water at Aunt Jenn. Good thing he didn't get the camera wet!

J is for Jello with Jenn and James

Hannah Reads a Book

Everyone always teases me because I always give Hannah a book with every gift. I am a firm believe in books. (Mainly because I love reading so much myself!!!) I love sitting with Hannah to read. James and I drove to Walmart while Hannah read us a story from the back.

Hannah Stays the Night

On Friday, we had the privilege of watching Hannah overnight! Of course we had to keep her busy so she wouldn't miss Mommy and Daddy too much. When I arrived it was time for Hannah's nap. Once we got up we went outside to play. I have NEVER seen a child want to be outside ALL the time. When James arrived home, we played with the water table. Below are a few pics from Friday!

Basket Tags

Awhile ago, Shelly and I bought a digital program that allows you to design all sorts of things, including scrapbooking. Well, she has done AMAZING things and really taken off using it. I have been envious because I have fought with the program and couldnt find the creative juices. Well, make a project into a teaching project and the juices began flowing. Here are some of the labels I have been making for my classroom. :-)

Ready, Set, Curtains!

So a couple of years back, I took sewing lessons. When James's scrubs started coming un-sewn I told him that I could fix them. Ready to show him a new hidden talent I had, I pulled out my sewing machine. However, disaster struck! I ended up breaking to needles. Needless to say, I put it away and haven't gotten it back out

Well, since I have windows in my classroom, I decided I wanted curtains. But I was not willing to take that task on alone. Thankfully, Shelly helped me make cute matching curtains for my classroom! Here are a couple of pics. I am going with a blue/green theme with accents of yellow to tie in my bee: Beelieve in yourself! (I have learned from James two colors are simply not enough!)




I am currently working on putting all my books into correct genre baskets. Finding baskets has been a challenge!!!


After our hard work of sewing, we went to get snowcones! Hannah wasn't so sure about the Banana flavor. Shelly was smart and got a flavor that wouldnt have stained. Aunt Jenn was not as smart and got Strawberry. (Which Hannah had to try)
I know I have written here before how much Baxter loves James. James hardly ever takes naps after work, but he has been staying up late reading on his Kindle. So today he decided to take a nap. Perhaps the couch wasn't the best location when you have a dog who wants your attention... ALL the time!



"Fine! I guess I will go and lay on you! Maybe that will wake you up!"

Birthday Boy, errr, Man

This Sunday we celebrated James's Birthday since his family was in town! It is hard to believe this is the fourth birthday that James and I have celebrated together. Time does fly fast!

On every piece of furniture, we have place felt. Only problem: it doesnt stick. Hannah found one that had escaped from a chair. I place it on her nose. She was so proud!



When James was a child, his mom used to read him the ABC Dr. Seuss Book. When we were deciding what to name our blog, James exclaimed Two Tylers in a Tuttle Tuttle Tree, which comes from this book! What a neat gift!


For his birthday, James was spoiled! (I just can't help myself!!!) He got a Kindle from me and my mom. He has definitely enjoyed using it. He also got money and gift cards from all his family and friends which he plans on using to purchase accessories for the Kindle. (He must get a light so I can get sleep!) Oh! and Baxter and Jersey got his needle nose pliers.... These two dogs got blamed for burying them when James could not locate his while working on a project!


The cake I made (with the help of my wonderful friend, Catherine!) It didn't turn out exactly as planned but with time I will learn!

Happy Birthday, my sweet husband! I look forward to many many many more!

Lake Time

After all the hard work around the house, we decided to go to the lake for a little fun! I started in the lake until I was bitten by a fish. Of course no one believed me and I was accused of being dramatic. However, Wes ended up being bitten as well. :-)

Helpers!!!

This house has required lots of work!!! It seems like there is always things to fix around the house. James's dad and mom came to help this weekend and it was VERY much appreciated. His dad is a wiz at handiwork. I have never seen anyone work so fast. It seemed like each time we gave him a project he was asking for a new one two seconds later. Saturday morning, Hannah and Wes came over to help as well. I love this pic because Hannah is showing Grandpa how to fix the electrical socket. Dont worry, the we turned off the electricity.



James has limited my spending (Houses are expensive!) so we only have a farm for Hannah to play with. But we pulled out a moving box. She had a good time. Uncle James even cut her a window for her house. I plan on spicing it up when I get time!


Hannah has gotten great at walking so we put her to work moving the styrofoam out of the house.


We had such a great weekend!!! It was nice spending time with the family and having everyone around. We are loving our new home!

Our New Home

Here are a few pics from our new home. We have still yet to tackle our bedroom with paint or finish the living room; however, every box is empty!!!

We had to add tennis balls to the chairs because they were scratching the floor. We tried felt tips but they wouldnt stayed on. This has been a nightmare for Baxter. He can never seem to win with the tennis ball.

I have cleaned more than I would ever have imagined. Baxter is a great helper!
