SOME FUN PICTURES!!

The Cahills (friends from our old ward) came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. We went down to Oceanside with them to see their parent's beach house that they had rented. We had lots of fun walking down the pier, visiting, and eating! Even though it was cold, we let Travis play in the sand and water and he had a ball! He was an absolute sandy mess when we got home! This was Tyler's first time to the beach. We had so much fun!
Sweet little Tyler!
Tyler turned 2 months on the 23rd! At his doctors appointment he weighed 11 lbs 1 oz (35%) and was 24 inches (85%). He is growing so big! He also got his 2 month shots and did such a good job. I braved it out and even had to take Travis with me. Travis kept saying, "Don't cry Tyler, it's okay!" It was so cute!

The boys in their PJ's. Travis can't wait for Tyler to be able to play with him!
So, I decided to post pictures of the boy's room. I think the room is finally done. I wish we could paint or do something a little more but since we are still in an apartment we are not able to. I still think it turned out cute though! Here is Travis' bed.
Here is the dresser they share. My mom found the darling little basketball knobs for the dresser and the little bat that hangs on the wall. So cute!
Here is Tyler's little crib. We used the same bedding that Travis used when he was a baby. Scott actually painted Tyler's name and I worked on the pictures of Tyler!
Here is the whole wall! I know the little shelf doesn't really match Tyler's stuff (it's more for Travis) but it was the only place it would fit!

IT'S BASKETBALL TIME!!
I know these pictures are a little blurry but I had to post them anyways! We are in full basketball swing at our house. Between Scott's high school team he coaches, the young mens ward team that he also coaches and the ward's team that he plays on, there is always a game we are running off to. Travis absolutely LOVES it and that is an understatement! He tells us all the time.. "I got to go coach basketball." It is so cute! When he gets to go to practice with Scott he gets so excited. We go to most games (me and the boys) and Travis will sit on the bleachers (usually holding a basketball) and watch the game. When the buzzer goes off for a time out or half time, he is on the court with the ball trying to dribble and shoot. It is so cute. Scott thinks he smells a scholarship coming!! Just kidding!!

TYLER'S BABY BLESSING
Tyler was blessed on January 3rd! It was such a special day. Tyler is growing so fast and is such a sweet little baby. It's been so much fun to watch him grow. It is tradition in our family for my parents to give the baby a little baby ring on their blessing day. Tyler wore this for his blessing (sorry we did not get a picture of it!). Great Grandma Rosell gives the little baby boys a tie tack for their blessing. We pinned it on Tyler's little outfit for his blessing day. It was so cute!


This is all of the family that was able to make it to Tyler's blessing. Thanks everyone for coming far and near to celebrate this special day with us!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

We had such a fun holiday season! It was especially fun having our new baby Tyler here with us! Travis was actually able to understand more about Christmas and was so excited for Santa to come. He LOVED looking at all the Christmas lights, decorating, and making christmas treats. It was especially fun for me since I have been home on maternity leave this holiday season.

Getting our Christmas tree!
Visiting Santa Claus! Travis loved seeing Santa. The first thing he told Santa he wanted was a candy cane (those were sitting in a basket next to Santa). That was quickly followed by "I want a scooter!" Tyler slept the entire time in Santa's arms.

Happy New Years! We went to Grandma Rosell's annual New Years Eve party! It was alot of fun to see all of the cousins and eat lots of yummy treats. Travis loved the party hats, the noise makers and cramming into the living room with everyone dancing and singing to the song "Enjoy Yourself!"
New Years eve.... Mom, Travis, Grandpa Clark and Tyler.
