Ty's 2 month doctor appointment

Today we had Ty's 2 month doctor appointment. He now weights 11 pounds, 11 ounces which is the 45th percentile. He is 23" long which is the 47th percentile, and his head circumference is in the 24th percentile.
I couldn't find Audrina's "stats" from her 2 month doctor appointment for comparison, but did see that she weighed 11 pounds 11 ounces at her 4 month appointment.

Audrina got a tatoo

Happy Birthday Dexter

Today is Dexter's 8th Birthday. We have never celebrated the dog's birthday before, but thought Audrina might find it kinda fun. I only worked 1/2 day today, so after nap time Audrina, Ty and I headed to Pet Smart with the intent of buying Dexter a dog bone and a small toy for his birthday.
While at Pet Smart Audrina decided that Dexter NEEDED an entire bag of dog bones, not just one. OK. Audrina also saw that they had doggy cookies there - and of course Dexter NEEDED those for his birthday. OK. We then found a cool new collar that he also NEEDED. And we got him a new toy. $30 later, we finally had everything we NEEDED for Dexter's birthday.
Or so I thought.
As we were pulling out of the Pet Smart parking lot, Audrina said we NEEDED to get Dexter a birthday cake. And really what is a birthday party without a birthday cake. We walked into Hy-Vee to pick up a cake when Audrina spotted some balloons, and of course Dexter NEEDED balloons for his birthday. The lady blowing up the balloons asked me if it was for a boys birthday, or a girls birthday. I had to admit that it was for our DOG, but he is a boy. We picked up a small 6" pink my little pony birthday cake (Audrina said that was the one he would want) and finally had everything we NEEDED for Dexter's birthday.
I got home and wondered WHAT JUST HAPPENED????
Scott wondered the same when he got home from work and saw balloons, a cake, doggy cookies, doggy bones, a new collar and a new toy.....all for Dexter's Birthday.
I'm gonna have to get better at saying NO!

Our Tropical Snowman

Audrina wanted to put a carrot on for his nose, but we didn't have any carrots. We used sticks from a bush for arms. We found the hawaiian lay in the garage and decided it would be a perfect accessory for the snowman.

Back to work

Today Audrina took her little brother with her to school (daycare) and I went back to work. I am only working 1/2 days this week and will be back to the full swing next week.

Don't eat yellow snow... it's spicy.

Audrina came home from daycare wanting to make a snow fort. Scott used his snow blower to pile the snow up and they built the fort together.
She has also advised us not to eat yellow snow. She says it's spicy.

Audrina is outta here.

Ty and Great Grandma-Nana

Nana held Ty the whole time we were visiting. She has that Great Grandma touch.
