Conversation Between to Brothers

Last night as I was preparing supper, Andrew was emptying out the dishwasher, and Tyse was setting the table (see below) Andrew starts up this conversation out of the blue.

Andrew: (very serious)--Tyse, you just wait until you have a little brother

Tyse: huh? (really has no clue that Andrew is talking to him-he's occupied with setting the table)

Andrew: When he comes then you will start getting into lots of trouble

end of conversation

It makes me laugh when Andrew is having a conversation with Tyse, because he talks to him in a super serious way (we dont see that alot) and Tyse will start to get real serious too. FUN FUN

Merry Christmas

Ok, so every year I decide that we are going to send out christmas cards. This was going to be the year, I had my mind set, we were really going to get a great picture. It didn't even have to be great- just one that looked a bit civilized (like just letting the lights peacefully dangle over them instead of sticking them up their nose)....here was our failed attempt. Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Smelly Markers

I'm sure some of you get a bit tired of seeing pictures of the boys....well just stop looking then, because that's about all we have on our camera :)
Anyway......
Crayola makes some markers that smell, I thought they would be fun for Andrew to guess what they smelled like. Tyse doesn't realize that there are only a few in the package that smell...so he will smell a few and then go to the bathroom, look in the mirror and say uh-oh.

Happy 18th Birthday Jill!!

Jill (and Doug) celebrated their birthdays on Sat., what a great time we had. Happy Birthday Sister!!

A full week off.....

Jasper had the week off, it was great to have an extra hand around the house. Here are a couple of the things he accomplished.

He made a guitar for Tyse. Im really not sure who loved it more, him or Tyse-he was especially proud of himself for making it!!

No, this is not milk that they are drinking out of a bag............its white chocolate. I was going to make some chocolate covered pretzels and Jas decided that it would be fun for him and Tyse to do together............I went out to check on them and this is what they were doing. Luckly they were done with the job.

We had a fun week with Jas home all week, but the time has come-you must go back...

Copy-Cat

Andrew was SUPPOSED to be making his bed-all of a sudden I hear "DRAMA" happening upstairs. I ignored it at first-we seem to have lots of drama around here. It started sounding a bit more serious than the usual- so I thought I'd better check it out (with my camera) and found this. I'm really not sure what he was trying to do-crawl through the window of the tool bench, I guess. We got all calmed down and Andrew back to making his bed. I head down to start supper and all of a sudden I hear Andrew yell this...Tyse your going to kill yourself...I run up the stairs as fast as I can (at 35 weeks pregnant, not a pretty sight) And I find Tyse trying the same thing......Oh Dear......are you serious....did you not just see your brothers problems when he tried this trick? You know Tyse was thinking just like any other man---Im going to try the exact same thing and hopefully get a different outcome...:) Love these Boys!!!!

LET IT SNOW..........

Andrew was much more excited than Jas or I when he woke up this weekend to find snow outside....Tyse quickly learned that he didn't want to miss out either.  I'm afraid that winter is here- although it is supposed to get up to 54 today (35 tomorrow and more snow)
