Tyden

We took some pictures to use for our Christmas card. We have managed to get Tyden to smile without crinkling his nose! But most importantly we have only been in the ER once in the past 6 months! :) We have the whole asthma thing figured out now and his nebulizer has been an absolute blessing. He can now run the bases without couging and wheezing so hard he would throw-up! He has only gotten croup once in the past 6 months (which was our 1 trip to the ER as he couldn't inhale...an absolutely terrible experience!). We were used to what he sounded like with croup since he has had it about 7 times now, but he never had trouble inhaling before! We did the "egg challenge" so he can now eat eggs without reacting, but the nuts will be an allergy forever I think!

Our first shovel of the season!

I will remind Tyden when he is 15 that he used to cry because he wanted to help shovel so bad! We now have a little shovel for him and he helped! I normally don't have him wear such a "girlie" scarf but his stuff was in the wash. He did however get to wear Daddy's UNC hat! :)

WHEW!

I know it has been long overdue for a new post! Up until this very hour, I have been doing scouting reports, traveling to games and to watch recruits, finishing my grad school classes (1 semester left!!!), and squeezing in some Tyden time! I am currently at home after a 6am practice and I am watching Regis & Kelly and not feeling guilty about it! :) I am so happy to have a break as it is much needed. Tyden has been a trooper through it all. He comes recruiting with me so I don't feel like a workaholic! He recently showed me how he can "follow-through like mom's players"...he really does follow-through when he shoots baskets! He reminds me everyday that he is still on Santa's good list. We did take him to Santa's village and he was rather impressed with Santa and the real reindeer...he continues to talk about how he saw the reindeer going potty! :) :) We did the potty training thing over a long weekend in October. He was actually pretty easy and now he wears underwear at night like Papa's players! :) Here is a picture of Tyden, Katelynn and Austin at Santa's village.

Papa turns 60!

We celebrated my dad's bday with dinner at my mom and dad's house. It was wonderful! The kids got to help Papa blow out his candle.

Happy Halloween!

Tyden was a Cowboy tonight for Halloween! He had so much fun! We had pumpkin shaped pizza at Auntie Jennifer's house and then went trick-or-treating. Tyden said "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" at each house so I was very proud! He also ran the entire time as he always had to be first at the next house. In one of the pictures you will see from left to right-Katelynn, Tyden, Eli, Noah, and Austin. Eli and Noah are my sister's nephews on Craig's side. It was such a fun day/night. Tyden was so tired he fell asleep as he hit the pillow.

Carving Pumpkins with Papa

Every year Papa finds the biggest pumpkin for each grandkid. Tyden told Cobber Kids that Papa grows the pumpkins and when they asked where he grows them he said...."walmart!" :) He doesn't like to dig his hands in the pumpkin, but would use a spoon!

Skull Cap?

Yes, a skull cap!! I bet you know who was behind this...his uncles! Brett got this skull cap for football. He tried it on Tyden and then taught him how to look "tough." He wore it for quite some time! They now think he needs one for Christmas. He could be the first two year old with his very own skull cap! :)
