Spaghetti Night

Tonight while both Scott and I were at work, Kathy and Mike had Spaghetti Night with Tyler. Let's just say it was a huge success!

Mmmm... noodles, sauce...yummy!

Look! Messy hands! What's a fork?

And now it's bath time! Quick, before Mommy comes home!

Happy Birthday Scott!

Scott's birthday is on St. Patricks Day. This year, he had the dreaded norovirus which has swept our area. Since he was confined to the couch on his big day, there was no celebration. We surprised him last night with a birthday party after he had the first golf outing of the season. Happy Birthday Scott! We love you!

Tyler was all about celebrating Daddy's big day

Kirby even got a haircut for the occassion!

This video was actually taken on Scott's birthday... although he isn't in it. It shows how Tyler manages to go down the stairs. He has mastered the stairs in the house as well, both going up in record time and coming down on his tummy with a thumpity thump thump. Such a big boy!

Hiding

Tyler likes to climb on the couch and hide behind the cushions. It's amazing what he finds back there (mostly Kirby's toys). Today I found him back there playing with Kirby's plastic bone. He also has taken a liking to hiding from us. At Kathy's house, he hides between the couch and the woodstove (don't worry, it's not hot), and my mom found him at her house hiding next to the hutch, but behind some plants. What a monkey! I guess the question remains, what is he hiding from?

San Diego

We made a quick trip down to San Diego this week. Instead of the gloomy skies that were forecasted, we enjoyed sunny days in the 60s. Tyler got to play in the water and go to the kiddie park for the first time. We were able to catch up with Nana and Papie, Aunt Chris and Neal, and the Larkins. It was a great visit, even though it was so short. Thank you everyone for hosting us! See you soon!

New Favorite Food

After dinner tonight, we decided to see if Tyler liked whipped cream... Guess what? He loved it! I think we may have created a monster... or a future pastry chef?

Winter Olympics

The Larkins are Olympic lovers. We have them on all of the time, whether it is ice skating, skiing, curling, or even ice dancing (which we think is kind of a fake sport), we are watching. So when the Peppmeiers invited us over for an Olympic-themed party, of course we had to partake! Thank you Doug and Kelly for a great time!

I went dressed as skier Julia Mancuso and Scott was Apolo Ohno

Tyler was Team Captain and snoozed out on the ottoman after playing

We think this picture looks like he is wearing hockey pads

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a quiet Valentine's Day at home. Scott was able to ski a few runs today while Tyler took a 2 hour snooze (yay!) and I made some cute little cherry pocket pies. We had a delicious dinner of champagne, big ol' king crab legs, and ribeye steak. Everything was delicious, we were really enjoying dinner, and then a certain little monkey had to scream because he wanted to be included.... so we sat him in his seat and gave him something to play with. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Tyler especially wanted to shout out to that babe Annemarie- catch you next week for a playdate and a kiss!
