Wordless Wednesday - GO PACK GO!

In the bottom, right picture Tyler is showing off his BabyLegs football socks! Tyler and Trevor both have these and look adorable on game day.  Not only are they cute, they're also very soft and have the grippers on the bottom.  These were our first BabyLegs Socks and we love them, almost as much as our BabyLegs legwarmers!  :-)

Toddler Tuesday - Tyler's first field trip and bus ride!

On Monday Tyler's preschool class went to Wilke's Pumpkin Patch for a field trip!  Tyler was so excited because not only did he get to go on a field trip all by himself, he got to take his first BUS RIDE!  As for me, it was harder for me to drop him off for this than it was for the first day of school.  This picture was when I was dropping him off.  You can tell he was a little nervous! 

At Wilke's the kids got to pick out a pumpkin, go on a hay ride and play for a while.  Tyler was so hungry when he got back he wouldn't even talk about the trip until he ate!  Then he couldn't stop talking about it!  Here are a couple pictures from when he got back to school.

 

 

Wordless Wednesday - First Day of Preschool

Toddler Tuesday: Tom Pease at the Woodson Art Museum

Last night was the final performer for the Concert in the Garden series at Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. Josh was at a movie with Nate and Todd from work so my mom came with the boys and me. We had never been to a Concert in the Garden and weren't sure what to expect. We packed up our chairs, a blanket, the stroller, grabbed some drive-thru and headed over to check out Tom Pease! Tom is a family entertainer who sings silly songs that also teach many different lessons as well as a little sign language. Tyler, Trevor and I saw him at the beginning of the summer at the library so Tyler was super excited to hear the Belly Button song! As always, Tom put on a great show - it's almost as fun to watch the audience as it is to watch him!

During intermission Tyler thought it was funny to run in circles and hit the cedar tree that we were sitting next to. After that we had a hard time settling him back into the show so we left a little bit early. While Tyler was running around, Trevor stole one of his chicken nuggets! It was hilarious!

Toddler Tuesday - Fun at the Fair!

Last week was the WI Valley Fair at Marathon Park. As far as I can remember, this was Tyler's first fair in Wausau. Since I exhibited in the open class I had a week long pass and the boys were free to get in, so we took advantage of it. We went to the fair every day - meeting friends, looking at exhibits, petting animals and learning about agriculture. Oh yeah, and going on rides too! Unfortunately I forgot my camera all except one of the days (so unlike me!) so there are no fun pictures of Tyler and his friend Wyatt on the rocket ship ride or playing in the corn, soybeans and cottonseed in the Ag Adventure Tent. Also no pictures of Tyler petting a cow, after which he promptly corrected me by saying, “It’s a CALF mom!”

However, there ARE pictures of Grammy taking Tyler on the ferris wheel!! This was Grammy’s first time on a ride in…we’ll just say quite some time. :-) She was a little nervous, but Tyler chose her so she “had” to do it! It was a blast watching from the ground with Trevor, almost as much fun as they had on the ride!

And what’s a trip to the fair with Grandma without a carnival game?!

Vacation Bible School

Tomorrow morning Tyler will be going to his first day of Vacation Bible School!! Tyler is definitely excited and a little apprehensive, as am I! This is the first time I will be dropping him off somewhere that he will be completely on his own and doesn't know anyone. We've been talking about it since Friday and started a little countdown. He asked a lot of questions and we tried our best to explain to him what would be going on so he knows what to expect.

The main thing is I hope he realizes that I'm not staying there with him! Even if he's not sure what he's getting into, I have no doubt in my mind he will quickly adjust and do wonderfully!! This will be a great warm up for preschool this fall, especially since he will be going to preschool at this church!

I apologize for the lack of updates lately...I hope to be getting back into the swing of things around here soon. My lifting restriction will be coming off on Thursday so I am gradually trying to do more and so far I am feeling good!

Wordless Wednesday - 4th Floor

My "Wordless Wednesday" is turning out to be not so wordless! LoL...whatever, at least I'm posting, right?!

Saturday night Auntie Diane watched Trevor (THANKS!!) so mommy and daddy could take Tyler to the 4th Floor outdoor show at Cross Country in Sugar Camp. Tyler was one tired kiddo but had SOOOO much fun seeing Uncle Dan and "the boys" play! I think he even might have been a bit star struck...and as you can see in the last pic/video, he wants to be a rock star now!

Tyler even asked daddy for some water to drink during his performance, which consisted of him pretty much screaming nonesense....it was adorable! He also walked over to give me knuckles, just like Uncle Dan and Zach did! (Come to http://www.baby-oh-baby.blogspot.com/ to check out the video below!)

Toddler Tuesday - Swimming Lessons

At swimming lessons they play a game called "Chop, Chop, Timber" where they pick what kind of tree they want to be (Tyler was a Christmas tree this time) and then the instructors "water" them. When they "grow" the instructor says, "Chop, chop, timmmmmber!" and they are supposed to jump into the water. (Key word being supposed...haha) Tyler is on the right side of the group next to the girl in the yellow. It seems like they are in fast forward because it was so cold this morning they were trying to keep the kids in the water! (See video below)

Wordless Wednesday - Summer FUN!

Swimming lessons are going SUPER at the R/S Aquatic Center!

What a world of a difference it makes when he's able to touch bottom!

Thanks to Auntie Brookie (and her employer!), we got to take the boys to a Woodchucks baseball game (Trevor's first!) for free! 

We got Woody Woodchuck bobbleheads and Tyler found a baseball by our car when we parked that he had signed by Woody!

Tyler's Cast is Off!

Great news! Tyler's cast has been off for a week now! (Yeah, I'm a little behind on giving the news. Sorry about that!) Everything looks great and is all healed up. Within a day or so he was back to normal!  (Notice there are no pics of the actual sawing of the cast?  That's because Trevor freaked out when the saw was on so we were a little pre-occupied!)

Excited to see if he gets to have his cast off!

 
Fave part of the appointment - the ear muffs!

Making the final cut!

Look at all that dirt!

Piecing together the cast while waiting for his x-ray.

Trevor playing with the cast - as you can tell,

we were keeping him from his nap!
