Happy Birthday Ty!

Our baby turned 1 today. Ty enjoyed his own little cake. He is such a happy baby and brings us so much joy. Ty has a layed back personality and is always smiling. He will try to get people to look at him in the grocery store or at the restaurant so he can smile at them. He crawls all around and can walk behind his walker or along the furniture with ease. He say da-da. I am still working on ma-ma, but he just can't seem to get it. It was fun to reminisce over the past year. We thank God for our precious boy and look forward to celebrating many more birthdays! We love you Ty-guy!

Like Father Like Son...

You be the judge!

I wonder what Ty will look like in 30 years!

Words of a 5 Year Old

#1 "Mom, I'm sick. I have the chicken pox." Spoken at 7am as I am getting ready for work. Thankfully he used a washable marker to create the pox and no, his red tongue is from the juice he drank!

#2 "It's not my fault I went to sleep. My eyes started to shut." Said after he woke up from a nap. I told him some day he will be excited when he gets to take a nap.

PS Grandma Sue got a hold of another one of Jake's loose teeth and popped it out before he even knew what was happening. 2 down, lots more to go.

Happy Birthday to Us!

My Dad and I have celebrated our birthdays together for the past 32 years. This year we had the privilege of sharing our birthday with PJ too. He celebrated his first birthday on the 10th.

Growing up I have always enjoyed having my birthday right by my Dad's. I am proud of my Dad and am so thankful for the influence he has had in my life. He is an outstanding grandpa. My kids love wrestling with their Bup! I pray that the 3 of us have many more birthdays together. I love you Dad and PJ!

Here is the top 5 reasons I love my Dad:

5. He is a great cook and loves trying new things

4. He is an energetic grandpa

3. He is an honest man and has a strong knowledge of right and wrong

2. He loves my mom

1. He loves the Lord and has passed that legacy onto his children

The Boys

2007 brought 3 new Muller cousins. PJ in the 1 year shirt (my sister Annie's). Ty in the 9 month shirt and Ethan in the 6 month shirt (my brother Nick's). We look forward to having them grow up together.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! A little late. We had a wonderful Christmas spending lots of time with family. We got to see all the cousins. I took 2 weeks off from work! It was a treat. All of us were ready to get back to 'normal' after that. Here are some of the pics from our holiday season

Ty enjoys going outside. He can't move when he's all bundled up, so it makes it a little difficult.

every day Lindsey asks me to put her hair in piggy-tails before we go out, but the minute we walk back in the door her hair comes down and she strips down to put her new Dora PJs on. I can't keep her dressed lately. At least she stays dressed in public....so far!

Lindsey and Ella having fun

Jake got a snow board for Christmas. The neighbor kids were pulling him around. This was after my brother was pulling the kids on the snowboard behind Jake's snowmobile. Fun times!

Jake's Christmas Party

I had a great time at Jake's school Christmas party. We played a game, decorated Christmas cookies and made a ginger bread house. The kids were all very excited! Now we are looking forward to a nice long break.
