Interpretation

Toddlers are great at showing you just how what you say can be interpreted into something completely different.  Ty is especially good at this and he proved yesterday.


Poor Ty is constantly being kicked out of his room by Ricky.  Ricky simply picks him up and carries him out of the room to the end of the hall instructing Ty to stay out of the room and not to touch his lego's (touching Ricky's lego's results in a huge Ricky meltdown).  Rick (being a loving and encouraging father) simply told Ty to "grow some balls and stand up to your brother"..... Ty in his little Ty voice, cocked his head to the side and said "balls???" and with a sudden sense of urgency, Ty started running around the house and up to everyone saying "balls????", finally running from the library with, what else, 2 balls, and a great sense of pride on his face.  He had found his "balls".

New House!!!

We now live with boxes, but we are moved into our new house.

Yes, this picture was taken before my kids lovingly decorated the front yard, drive, and front porch with bikes and toys.  If you look close you will see the garage lights on, and yes they are ALWAYS on, not sure why, but at least we finally found the light switch (now if we could only remember to use it).

We now have almost 3 acres that includes a koi pond and a go-cart track through the woods in our back yard.  The kids love feeding the koi and can spend hours speeding around the back yard on the go-cart.  I'm in the process of planning a huge garden in the back yard, I can't wait for spring! and Rick is loving the hunting, we have had several deer visit our front yard.
