Random Pictures

I've been told I'm not updating the blog enough, so here are some random pictures.....

This is our one month picture - we had to take a picture in the same outfit we wore coming home from the hospital - we fit it quite a bit better now!

Mommy was having a little fun - this is one of our Christmas pictures.....


Mom & Dad were working on Tyler's room setting up his changing table, so we gave him something to do - this is a toy we got from my boss Kendra (thanks Kendra!) and we thought we'd see if he likes it - he LOVED the music and colors. And yes, we've since taken it out of the box!

Does anyone remember the movie ET? Look familiar? Daddy thought we needed to play with ALL of our stuffed animals!

Thanksgiving

This year, Thanksgiving for us was spent at Uncle Kyle's new house in West Des Moines with Andrew's family. Kyle was excited to to show of his place and turkey cooking ability, the Perkins were excited to FINALLY meet Tyler, and Andrew & Allison were excited that their first holiday w/ Tyler didn't involve packing and driving!

We decided to stay near home for the entire weekend. Friday Andrew worked a half day and we hung out at the house, Saturday we decided to head to Ames to finally celebrate our birthdays. We went out to a nice restaurant and to an ISU volleyball game. Sunday was our annual trip to get a Christmas tree. This year Andrew picked it out and cut it alone because it was pretty cold and windy out, and we met him at the barn to check it out and get one quick picture. We'll post pictures soon of the decorated tree!

Mom, Tyler, and Dad wanted to get a family picture, but we had to get at least one with the Turkey hat the Perkin's got for us!

Cousin Belle, Aunt Inky & Tyler, and Cousin Mason. I don't think these three put Tyler down for more than a few minutes. I don't think Uncle Matt or Grandpa John even got to hold him!
