Date With Mom

This Saturday night I had the honor of going on a double date with my favorite little man. We had a wonderful dinner at Bravo where we sipped on chocolate milk and tea, ate a scrumptious dinner, enjoyed a wonderful conversation with our dear friends and then we topped it all off by splitting a chocolate cake! I had so much fun just being with Tyler and being able to give him my undivided attention and hear all the thoughts that were on his mind.

Then....after dinner we headed to Build-A-Bear where Tyler and Will created a gift for their sisters. They were pretty much on their own picking out what they wanted for their sisters to have luckily they didn't need much redirecting.

After you pick out your toy they let you step on a peddle and pump the stuffing into it.......
.........he was completely fascinated by the whole process.

Kissing it's heart and sending lots of love to his sister.
Here he is proudly putting the heart in "Cotton" (the name he chose for her).

He wanted to get "Maddie" the car.

Here is were they were supposed to give the bunnies a bath before they went home. This was by far their favorite station. There was a peddle that they stepped on and air blew down. They revisited this station about three times and laughed their heads off each time.

This is their "high five" for a job well done!

End of Tee Ball Season

In early November the Express team celebrated a wonderful season where "playing is winning"! The Mittig's were very kind to host a party for the team where everyone got to say goodbye until the Spring.

Before the trophy's were passed out the boys were trying to decide which one was theirs.

Random pictures of cuteness:

Madison signing "more".
On this particular day, Maddie and I were playing chase because she is so impressed with her new speediness. I would pretend I was after her and she would scurry away, cackling, then look back as if she was saying, "You can't catch me!".

We were decorating the Christmas tree and Tyler put all the bead on and called it his huge necklace. I called him Mr. T.! Get it?! I crack myself up!
