THREE

Ty got to celebrate his birthday twice with Carynn's family the week before. (Thanks for making the fun and delicious train cake Mom!) and then with Jamie's family on his birthday. Here are some photos of the big 3 photos from the first celebration! Happy Birthday Ty! We love you so much and you are such a sweet, smart and funny boy!

TYrannosaurus

This photo was a Halloween preview for Nana and Papa since we went out of town for the Halloween weekend to visit Jamie's family. Ty had fun showing off his loud ROAR!!!

Pajama Cousins

Uncle Bret and Aunt Laura came into town for a week to introduce us to their newborn son Ethan, who was born August 26th. We bought Ty and Ethan matching pajamas and here are some of the photos! Ty loves his new cousin!

Triple Play

We had a blast running around a local park, riding tractors and playing on the playground with Ty's friends Elliott and Landon and with Mommy's friend Shelci. Normally, we'd say it was double the fun because Ty's friends Elliott and Landon are twins, but with three boys it was definitely triple the fun and in some cases, triple the trouble. Here are the photos I barely captured because these boys were constantly on the move!

New Family Photos

Time for a new family photo and time to update our Adoption Profile with new photos too. (Thanks Dad for being our photographer!) To our friends and family: You can help us add another baby to our family by sharing our Adoption Profile with your loved ones this season! Ty came to our forever family through family/friend connections, so we know it works!

Train Table

We couldn't resist getting Ty his BIG birthday present early this year. We got a good deal and we were too excited to wait until his birthday to give him his new train set. We anticipated that there might be the usual "so excited that Ty starts shaking" and we weren't disappointed! It was fun watching Ty discover his OWN train table. He always wants to go to Barnes & Noble or Toys R Us to play on their tables, so now he has one 24-7! Lucky boy!

Little Hiker

We picked the perfect day for a hike in the nearby mountains. It was a great trail for Ty to walk too because it was well maintained. Ty was a master! He was running half the time! At one point we were going up switchbacks and he made it all the way up on his own! What an amazing little hiker we have!

When we would come across bridges like this Ty would pretend he was the Grumpy Old Troll from Dora the Explorer. And there were a lot of little bridges, and at every one Ty would say "Solve My Riddle!" just like on the show. And we mostly just sang songs instead of solving riddles, but it was still super cute!
