animal sounds

So here is a little clip of Ty and his animal sounds, I guess it's just two of them. His sheep always sounds like it's dying but the dog is the funniest. Travis was...is a late talker so it is just amazing to me that Ty is saying things. He repeats everything I say but there are a few words that he says on his own...ug (plugs...binky), ba is bottle, ma and da, table, pacorn (popcorn), and then the other day he pointed to a pig and said pig. He knows a bunch of animal sounds and loves dogs!! When he sees one he points and starts yelling ma, ma, to get my attention and then he sticks his tongue out and then barks.

Sunbean!!!

Travis has made it through his first Sunday as a "Sunbean"!! I took this picture before church...he was singing the song. I took him into the primary room and showed him his seat and said that they would start in a minute. I walked away and he was fine. As I was showing some other kids what class they were going to be in he saw me and started crying. I just left it up to his teacher to calm him down...his poor teacher, I think there will be another cinnamon roll delivery this week. He was fine the rest of the time which I am happy about. It will be interesting to see what happens when I get to do sharing time. I have a feeling that there will be some melt downs...for both of us. 

I found the problem!!

I finally figured out that it was this internet protection thing that Joe downloaded that wasn't letting me post. So here are a lot of pictures...

The last week of school before Christmas break there was this storm that came through and the whole week of school was canceled!! They annouced it day by day so Joe was always waiting by the phone each night like a little kid. So instead of the week break it is now a three week break. Sometimes it pays being a teacher! 

This was the first day of snow on sunday. We got a call at 8 am telling us that church was cancelled!! I looked outside and had to laugh. The snow melted by 11 am. It doesn't snow much here and when it does there's a panic. After being in Rexburg I was laughing.
Tyler HATES being cold and he also hates being bundled up, so snow  it not his thing...mine either.
The next sunday we got another phone call and church was cancelled again! I looked outside and there was ice everywhere! There was atleast and inch to 2 inches of ice on everything! You couldn't step outside without slipping. Trees were falling down the the power was going on and off all day.

Our power was off from 2pm to about 5pm. I really didn't mind except it got down to the 59 degrees in our apartment. This isn't the best picture of us (me) but it just explains the day.
The next day Joe made us all go out and build a snowman. Tyler and I didn't last long

Christmas Eve we watched Prancer and made cookies for Santa.

In my family we weren't allowed to go downstairs and see what santa brought until everyone was awake and then we went down in age order. Last year Travis wanted to start his own tradition and wake up at 2am and open all the presents by himself. I was hoping that this year would be different and thankfully it was. The boys ended up sleeping in our bed so we caught them before going downstairs. When they came downstairs they just looked at everything in amazement.  

Travis loved the wheels! it took him a minute to figure out that they go on the wagon. Sometimes I wonder if I should just get him a bunch of different wheels.
Joe is always complaining that the boys have too many toys so we made them a "train table" and the grandparents gave them tons of new toys.
