MMMMMMMMMMM

Not able to get alot of pictures at this gathering-there are a few more kids to keep up with. Jaspers aunt Peg (the one in the red shirt) did alot of the cooking this year, because her diet is limited-it was very yummy and I dont even want to know how many hours she spent cooking......and bringing her "special" ingredients for all of us to eat and enjoy too..THANKS

Thanksgiving........

Andrew loves to tease Josy (Jills Dog) here Josy gets to tease Andrew


Enjoying an after dinner mint with Grandma!!


Ok-so somewhere in the last couple of years Dad has discovered quite a few new concoctions-not sure of the names, but all are geared around health and healthy eating-I guess it made him feel better to read an "Alternatives" magazine after eating mashed potatoes, pie and all the other good stuff.

COFFEE ANYONE??

Last weekend we headed to Topeka because my cousin needed to do an assessment on Andrew for school - he is on his way to be a nurse. Well, we had a few hours to kill, so Asha had the wise idea to go to the coffee shop that her "friend" works at. We thought she was crazy: Tyse and a coffee shop should not be in the same sentence-but it was fun and Tyse enjoyed drinking hot cocoa. He also enjoyed picking out some yummy cheesecake.......Good Times.........




hmmmmmmmm.....they look so yummy


Getting some great advice

Tent Fun !!!

Andrew and Tyse actually play pretty well together-until Andrew gets out little Legos or something of that sort.  They love to make a tent together-well, Andrew makes the tent (out of the bunk beds)  and accuses Tyse of being lazy.  They both end up having a great time!!  Here is a picture of them in their fort.

Just in case you cant tell what this is...its a peach pit in our bathroom sink. Andrew shoved a peach seed in the overflow drain of the sink, not to mention that there is a trash can just a few feet away from the sink. Why, I have no idea, I think that it probably took more energy to shove that seed in the hole than it would have to just throw it away. I think it will forever be there- we cant seem to get it out. FUNNY BOYS!!

Ear Infections

Tyse had been a little under the weather for a full week. What we thought was a small cold ended up being two full fledged ear infections. He had none of the "normal" symptoms of an ear infection-except for a low grade fever. No pulling at the ears..nothing. We went out and bought a vicks vaporizer, thinking that would help clear up his cough faster-nope....try again...we thought we would try and wait it out, over the weekend, thinking it was a virus and a doctor wasn't going to be able to do anything for us. Friday, after his nap he woke up with a massive amount of ear wax coming out of his ears (yea i know gross) then I knew exactly what the problem was.....his ear infection had gotten so bad that it had "popped." Off we were to the clinic. Sure enough he had a double ear infection and I had no clue. We are all very thankful to have a happy, healthy boy back....nothing is better than healthy children and a husband that is always willing to lend a hand after a day full of listening to wining, crying and feeling completely helpless.
