A Love of Cars

As I have mentioned in the past, Tyler is a little bit obsessed with this movie...


There was a point in time when we were watching it every single day. Thankfully, he has moved on a little bit, and expanded his list "favorite shows" thus retaining his parents' sanity.


He knows the names of all of the cars and even pairs them up according to their relationships in the movie (Lightning & Sally, Flo & Ramone, Sarge & Fillmore, etc.). He has more Cars memorabilia then you could imagine, which has provided him with countless hours of play time. I often find little cars in the oddest of places around my house.


These little toys are definitely Ty's most treasured possessions, and he likes to carry them around with him wherever he goes (hence the pants stuffed full of cars). We even have to take his cars with us on vacation, because he cannot bring himself to part with them for even one day!


He even has a Cars blankie that his Grandma gave him for his birthday. What a lucky boy!

But my favorite part about his obsession is when he acts out scenes from the movie using his miniature toy cars (i.e. tractor tipping, pit stops, and races). I'll hear him narrating the dialogue while I work around the house, and it never ceases makes me smile.

Going Private

So like many of you, I too am deciding that we need "a little privacy." After all, I did post pics of my little one's potty experience on here! So if you want an invite, leave a comment with your email address. We'll make the change in a week.

No More Diapers!!!

Today we officially start potty training Tyler. He seems ready, and has grown to HATE his diaper. We'll see how long it takes for him to catch on.
We "taught" potty bear how to use the potty yesterday.
And Ty has LOTS of potty treats. Who wouldn't want to use the potty with a basket of goodies like this?
Wish us luck!!!

Vegas Pics

The weather was so beautiful! It was hard to come home! Tyler & Gabby both LOVED the shark reef at Mandalay Bay!



There is a beautiful park close to Heidi & Dave's house that we visited everyday we were there. We had to drag Tyler away!


And of course, we had to take a dip in the jacuzzi everyday too! :)


Thanks to Heidi & Dave for having us. This is DEFINITELY one of our favorite vacations!
