Oh My Nephew

Well, to try to win his heart over I decided to put a picture of Austin on my blog. He doesn't seem to like his Auntie much even if I offer treats. Kisses are few and far between and if I ask "do you want to read a book with Auntie" he SHOUTS "NOOOOO." It breaks my heart since my niece never leaves my side. But this picture is so classic Austin. This is his batting stance. He has a lot of power hitting the ball and might need it as we aren't so sure how speedy he will be. :)

Birthday Party!

I probably should have posted this before the wedding pictures, but we celebrated Tyden's 2nd Birthday on June 21st! I cannot believe he is two!!! We had a great party. The kids played and played...in fact Tyden only opened one present and was off playing with it as it was a Twins helmet! My niece Katelynn gladly took over the present opening. :) Thanks to all who came and for the really nice gifts.

one more wedding picture

I couldn't resist putting this one on here so you can see his suspenders!! :)

Ring Bearer

Well, Tyden did it...he was the ring bearer at Uncle Darin's and now Auntie Keri's wedding! The oohs and aahs from the crowd were so fun and he did a good job. He was exhausted and in the morning he told me "mom, ring bearer all gone." I think the pictures explain it all, but he looked pretty cute in his tux. It was really hard having him sit with me until it was time to exchange the rings...he wanted to go see daddy and all his uncles up by the altar.

p.s. My mom graciously took Tyden after the ceremony so Bryant and I could enjoy the evening...THANKS MOM!

What has Tyden been up to?

Well, it seems like all we do is play baseball. I have hardly had time to take pictures of him because I am too busy running after his ball (and I must say he can hit it a pretty long ways, but everything is a homerun anyway!!). Here is Tyden:

1. learning how to field a ground ball from Papa

2. at the Redhawks game with his Hawkeye, (he really doesn't want anything to do with the real mascot, but loves the toy), and an adorable picture of him cuddling with Uncle Craig

3. trying on daddy's Jordan headband...he loves headbands and trying on daddy's helmet

4. his 2 yr. pictures...he smiles with his nose wrinkled up (just like his Uncle Todd did when he was little) so the one we will use one of the ones by the tree...we had to catch him by surprise before he wrinkled his nose!!
