Cruisin’ around campus

We went to Columbia this past weekend to celebrate Ty’s birthday with family and attend the Mizzou game.  Unfortunately it poured the game, we got soaked and lost.  But at least we did score…

Before the game, we took a stroll around campus and got some great shots of everyone.

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Our baby is 3!!!  We had a small party at the house with yummy and messy red velvet cupcakes and ice cream.  Here's some photos from the big day!

Fun moments

I made some pudding mousse last weekend when we had our good friends Derek and Heather for some yummy fondue and football.  Ty was my tester!  Look at that adorable face!

I finally cleaned out the garage from the garage sale we had a couple weeks ago.  Ty found these boards and made a see-saw.  He is showing me where to sit below.

Playing in the leaves

We were outside tonight and Ty said he wanted to play in the leaves.  So, we got the rake, made a pile and I started snapping away.  I got some good ones!  Enjoy!

I really like the black and white.

the sun was going down and I took a million shots of him jumping in the pile and finally had to turn the flash on so he wasn’t blurry.

how old are you going to be next week?

I feel a little better about our upcoming family photos – Ty actually listened and played along with me for some poses – probably cause we were playing in leaves…….hum…….where can we go in Columbia with lots of leaves…..

Fire trucks and trains!

Last weekend our local fire station right next to our house had an ice cream social.  The kids got to climb around the fire truck, a tour of the fire house (with two actual fire poles!), and of course eat some awesome ice cream!

Today, I took Ty to the Museum of Transportation.  It’s mostly a lot of trains, but there were several very old cars and this vintage fire truck.  How cool is that!?

Creation Station.  This was cool, you signed up for a time and got to go in the separate room that probably had 8 different train tables where you could build your own train track and play with it.  There was also a play kitchen, post office, school bus (with slide included) and a fall craft.

cleaning up…

trains trains trains….  outside there were rows and rows of old trains you could walk through and look at.  Some of them you could climb up and walk around in.  It was really neat to see all the different styles and ages of trains.  On the right below, I got Ty to stand next to the wheel of a really big train that he got to ring the bell in.

I told him we can bring daddy back with us next time, so when he skyped with Jeremy earlier this evening he was already asking him when he could go again.
