Aunt Lisa and Gram

On our way to California we decided to stop in Kansas at Aunt Lisa and Uncle Mikes house. As usual we had a blast! Tyler loved spending time with everyone, playing with Pops cane, and crawling under the table that mommy did not want him under (I finally gave up). We loved every minute we got to spend with everyone and hope to do it again in February!

Family Reunion

Andrea, Tyler, both of the dogs and I were forced to evacuate our home in Mississippi while Ken was forced to shelter on base due to a hurricane in the Gulf. So, we decided we would shelter in Anniston, Al. What should have been a 3 hour drive took 8...traffic was no joke. Andrea and I decided to visit our Grandpas sister, this was my first time meeting her and Andreas second. We had such a great time! We got to see the house our Grandpa helped build! We went with Aunt Joann to the driving range that her son owns. Tyler had such a wonderful time. He thought the ball basket was a hat and did not want to take it off his head! We will remember that day forever!

Graduation

I finally did it! I received my Bachelors degree in business. All the long nights and hard work paid off. My Mom and Dad, co-workers and friends came to the graduation which was followed by a great dinner. Thank you so much everyone for all of your support and encouragement. I could have never done this with out my amazing and husband, family and all of the other wonderful people God has put into my life!

First hair cut

This vacation was full of firsts for our little guy! He had his first Birthday, first trip to the zoo, first trip to Minnesota, and his FIRST hair cut! Isn't he handsome??? Shelly and Craig took us to this neat place that charges kids their age for a haircut so...Tyler's first ever hair cut only cost $1.00. Isn't that neat! I have a feeling this is the last time I get charged that little for a haircut! He did wonderful! In fact I think he enjoyed it.

Craig, Shelly and Preston

While in Wisconsin we got to meet up with our friends Craig, Shelly, and Preston. We always have so much fun with them! This visit we went to the zoo and to Mall of America, both were great!!!
Thanks again guys for everything!

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house

What is so funny?

Such a big boy!

Hunter and Tyler playing.

Sharing...

We had such a great time with Kens family when we went to visit. It is so neat seeing Tyler interact with everyone. Unfortunately on this trip our camera broke so we were not able to take pictures with everyone. Next time we will make sure to have a back up camera. Our memories are priceless...

Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!!!

Tyler loved hanging out with Brandon and Hunter!

Grandma made sure Tyler had his own little cake!

Aunt Heather giving a helping hand...

To much sugar wiped him out!!!

Tyler's cake from Grandma was not only adorable but delicious too!

Tyler had such a wonderful time playing with his big cousin.

Tyler had an amazing 1st Birthday. He was lucky enough to spend it with family. Aunt Heather and Grandma rented out the town hall, which was perfect for the occasion. He had tons of good food and of course his very first cake...not to mention all the wonderful gifts from everyone. What a lucky little guy. Ken and I are amazed at how much Tyler has changed this first year and we can not wait to experience the next one!
