Daddy had a special 'guys' trip to the Alabama game/golfing with Uncle Johnny and the timing didn't work for us to come along. So, we planned a fun filled weekend here at home!<br /><br />Friday morning Jack was in school, so Tyler and I went outside for some playtime fun, playing baseball and riding bikes in the driveway. I busted out my camera to try and capture a few new images. Here's some of the bounty:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0SW9NWHI/AAAAAAAAB60/_CvlO-L8794/s1600/wtyler+2+half10090313.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0SW9NWHI/AAAAAAAAB60/_CvlO-L8794/s400/wtyler+2+half10090313.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513448596324571250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0SJ6KxAI/AAAAAAAAB6s/SFOigAV-NAU/s1600/wtyler+2+half10090317.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0SJ6KxAI/AAAAAAAAB6s/SFOigAV-NAU/s400/wtyler+2+half10090317.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513448592822158338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0RjOE15I/AAAAAAAAB6k/wB81gBa17_U/s1600/wtyler+2+half1009036.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0RjOE15I/AAAAAAAAB6k/wB81gBa17_U/s400/wtyler+2+half1009036.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513448582436673426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0Rdl8JEI/AAAAAAAAB6c/6hdib28A148/s1600/wtyler+2+half10090312.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0Rdl8JEI/AAAAAAAAB6c/6hdib28A148/s400/wtyler+2+half10090312.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513448580926153794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0Q6Ed9KI/AAAAAAAAB6U/95bVf5cazwA/s1600/wtyler+2+half10090316.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO0Q6Ed9KI/AAAAAAAAB6U/95bVf5cazwA/s400/wtyler+2+half10090316.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513448571390522530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And possibly my favorite: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO02FxIyuI/AAAAAAAAB68/MQwOqWrPE1k/s1600/wtyler+2+half10090318.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO02FxIyuI/AAAAAAAAB68/MQwOqWrPE1k/s400/wtyler+2+half10090318.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513449210185829090" /></a><br /><br />After school ended on Friday, Mimi & Grandpa joined us for our staycation. They packed their overnight bag and came over! We hit Five Guys for dinner, which the boys both love so much! It was gorgeous weather, a break from the heat we've had for so long, so we dined al fresco!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO3XxPTIII/AAAAAAAAB7M/l7iZiizWS70/s1600/web-1009031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO3XxPTIII/AAAAAAAAB7M/l7iZiizWS70/s400/web-1009031.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513451987813998722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO3XolTiTI/AAAAAAAAB7E/mzKjPlcYrwA/s1600/web-100903215.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO3XolTiTI/AAAAAAAAB7E/mzKjPlcYrwA/s400/web-100903215.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513451985490381106" /></a><br /><br />Then we hit the local mini golf course for some great family fun. The boys both LOVE miniature golf and are pretty good at it! Jack understands golf scoring, so it was funny to hear him get a 4 on a par 2 and say "Double bogey!" as he completed a hole! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4MDNIUvI/AAAAAAAAB7k/3tMOcF1vqhg/s1600/web-100903225.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4MDNIUvI/AAAAAAAAB7k/3tMOcF1vqhg/s400/web-100903225.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513452885989937906" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4L5dfj5I/AAAAAAAAB7c/0IoWdXbpmfE/s1600/web-100903222.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4L5dfj5I/AAAAAAAAB7c/0IoWdXbpmfE/s400/web-100903222.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513452883374215058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4LjpYw4I/AAAAAAAAB7U/Yq86DN8-2-k/s1600/web-100903216.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TIO4LjpYw4I/AAAAAAAAB7U/Yq86DN8-2-k/s400/web-100903216.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513452877518521218" /></a><br /><br />After a competitive round of golf, we went home for some popcorn and Wii play before turning in for the night.

It has been a while since I blogged. That's a bummer, because I love knowing all the little jewels of info are here for the reading, whenever i want to come back to them. And last year I printed out the blog thus far at that point, and it is a cool book to read and have! Life moves at a rapid pace these days...<br /><br />Tyler says the funniest things and makes the funniest faces! Here are a few of my current favorites:<br /><br />After I am gone for a few hours or he is gone overnight, he says "Mommy, long time see you go!" He says it exactly the same way every time. So cute.<br /><br />THIS face is so classic Tyler right now...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TE0iN48tvAI/AAAAAAAAB3U/SXuVIOB8fus/s1600/w070310_0259-Edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/TE0iN48tvAI/AAAAAAAAB3U/SXuVIOB8fus/s400/w070310_0259-Edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498088342109928450" border="0" /></a><br />He led the prayer last night. It went something like this: "Fank you, God, (for) my family...fank you, God, (for) fire...fank you, God, (for) my house...fank you, God, (for) Daddy, Jack, Mommy, Colby. FANK YOU! (Instead of Amen)<br /><br />Tyler started to tell me something today. I think he was going to ask me for help or something. After about 2 seconds he said "Mommy? Nefermine."<br /><br />Yesterday he hops up from the couch and picks up a toy raquet. He asks me where the ball is and I tell him to look around. He says "I can't fine it." I tell him to look in the little tent we have up that is beside the couch. He looks at me with the straightest face and says "I look there 4 times! I no fine it!" He hadn't even moved! What is this 4 times business?? :Dmarathonmommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04168586445446876113noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743026637599323336.post-27754740731859930762010-04-22T22:17:00.001-07:002010-04-22T22:18:11.857-07:00it's fun to be two!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S9EtdiIwnmI/AAAAAAAAB1c/Vhpl56fDyWU/s1600/web+i+am+2+storyboard+T.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S9EtdiIwnmI/AAAAAAAAB1c/Vhpl56fDyWU/s400/web+i+am+2+storyboard+T.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463197808380124770" border="0" /></a>marathonmommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04168586445446876113noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743026637599323336.post-6719756208078442082010-04-04T14:04:00.001-07:002010-04-04T14:13:51.636-07:00A Hunting We Will Go...Last week the boys enjoyed our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Hillsboro.

We left quite a bit of sandy blond hair on the floor there, as these boys were well overdue for a trim!<br /><br />Jack went back to his favorite "rock star" haircut, and is just as pleased with it as ever. He noted that his 'rock star' was almost gone the other day before school and asked me to 'fix it'. A little lime hair gel and he was good as new.<br /><br />Tyler is sporting a big boy haircut. Admittedly too long, I was rather enjoying his shaggy overgrown look. Adorable either way, I think his new look is befitting of his maturing personality!<br /><br />Both boys enjoyed a lengthy frolic in the tub afterwards and didn't even seem to mind having a few pictures taken!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh7m9fgJI/AAAAAAAABzA/txEYGyWfr78/s1600-h/0310bathtime_web+032010_0014.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh7m9fgJI/AAAAAAAABzA/txEYGyWfr78/s400/0310bathtime_web+032010_0014.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451926131863158930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh0GZJUHI/AAAAAAAAByg/RgOHC_eAY44/s1600-h/0310bathtime_web+032010_0015.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh0GZJUHI/AAAAAAAAByg/RgOHC_eAY44/s400/0310bathtime_web+032010_0015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451926002861690994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh1G07vdI/AAAAAAAAByw/lyWmmTilBFQ/s1600-h/0310bathtime_web+032010_0002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh1G07vdI/AAAAAAAAByw/lyWmmTilBFQ/s400/0310bathtime_web+032010_0002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451926020158111186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh1SKICwI/AAAAAAAABy4/fzZM5l9TdPg/s1600-h/0310bathtime_web+032010_0007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S6kh1SKICwI/AAAAAAAABy4/fzZM5l9TdPg/s400/0310bathtime_web+032010_0007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451926023199787778" border="0" /></a><br />Our handsome Halbert boys.

This year, after returning from the big holiday festivities with the Halberts in Alabama, we celebrated again with the Quists in Nolensville. Mimi and Grandpa were thrilled to host their favorite (and only) grandchildren, along with their parents, for a fun Christmas celebration. The boys were showered with many gifts and there was food and fun a plenty! What great ages: 7.5 and nearly 2, the boys both find the holiday magical and the gifts exciting! We are blessed beyond measure. Come share a bit of Christmas with us...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Mimi and Grandpa and their two buddies<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S2iVJEgqBRI/AAAAAAAABwI/HFgrcvb8k2Y/s1600-h/wCmas09Nshv_0032.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Jack enjoyed playing his new Nintendo DSi against his cousins Amy and Laura, who both had their own DS handhelds with them, along with Laura's husband, Ross! It was a DS fest! Tyler hung out with Logan and Preston and did great the entire day (til 7p!) without a nap. Wow. I don't think any of us are ready for that to become a regular occurrence just yet. You'll have to take our word for it, though, since not a single picture was taken that afternoon (SHAME ON ME!)<br /><br />Tyler's favorite toy from Santa, by a landslide, has been Spike the Remote Control Dinosaur.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S0o9q0JX3oI/AAAAAAAABsI/apx6n490Glo/s1600-h/wCmasAL+09_0035.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S0o9q0JX3oI/AAAAAAAABsI/apx6n490Glo/s400/wCmasAL+09_0035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425216506882940546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And we saw a lot of THIS for a few days after Jack got his DSi, complete with his favorite game: Super Mario Brothers (after playing it on Christmas day with Amy & Laura.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S0o9q0HrgUI/AAAAAAAABsQ/J9ctvR6h0TA/s1600-h/wCmasAL+09_0039.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/S0o9q0HrgUI/AAAAAAAABsQ/J9ctvR6h0TA/s400/wCmasAL+09_0039.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425216506875838786" border="0" /></a><br />Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!marathonmommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04168586445446876113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743026637599323336.post-43799936945425552142009-12-26T09:45:00.000-08:002009-12-31T23:09:01.894-08:00Christmas Eve in DixieChristmas was very exciting this year, as it often is with little ones. The excitement of decorating the house, seeing Santa, spending time with loved ones and receiving gifts with little kids warms the heart. And to see it times 2 this year made it all the better!<br /><br />We spent Christmas Eve with the new babies in the family. What fun to see Meemaw's house filled with the laughter and excitement of 4 little ones this year! We've waited a long time for Jack to have siblings and cousins to play with at the holidays...he had to go it alone for many years. Now the house is full with 3 babies under 2!! We were sure to get a few pictures of the cousins...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2NefaRHLI/AAAAAAAABqg/a59gU0FqrJ8/s1600-h/w1Cmas+Eve+09+kids+formal.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2NefaRHLI/AAAAAAAABqg/a59gU0FqrJ8/s400/w1Cmas+Eve+09+kids+formal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421645081391209650" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2NePDDaYI/AAAAAAAABqY/78UBujBWyi8/s1600-h/wCmas+Eve+09+kids+formal+fun.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2NePDDaYI/AAAAAAAABqY/78UBujBWyi8/s400/wCmas+Eve+09+kids+formal+fun.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421645076998875522" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2c8j9KLLI/AAAAAAAABrQ/2DEXu7GBTjw/s1600-h/wCmasEve+09_5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2c8j9KLLI/AAAAAAAABrQ/2DEXu7GBTjw/s400/wCmasEve+09_5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421662090681789618" border="0" /></a>"He comes in with all those presents from WHERE??"<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2c7AiiP1I/AAAAAAAABqw/lopNfqDXo9k/s1600-h/wCmasEve+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2c7AiiP1I/AAAAAAAABqw/lopNfqDXo9k/s400/wCmasEve+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421662063995010898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2esKvIn3I/AAAAAAAABrg/sdVFFI_EQFw/s1600-h/wCmasEve+09_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2esKvIn3I/AAAAAAAABrg/sdVFFI_EQFw/s400/wCmasEve+09_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421664008057429874" border="0" /></a><br />Jack enjoyed being the Christmas "pro" and handed out all the gifts from under Meemaw's tree. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2er5B2ysI/AAAAAAAABrY/PZQHX-0XP8Y/s1600-h/wCmasEve+09_4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/Sz2er5B2ysI/AAAAAAAABrY/PZQHX-0XP8Y/s400/wCmasEve+09_4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421664003304114882" border="0" /></a>It was a fun evening with our growing family, though we missed cousins Cayce and Jason, who were celebrating with the Williams family this year.

Tyler insisted on a hat and, since we didn't have one with us, we made a purchase of an adorable new Zoo hat for him. Tyler's favorite animal was the lblblblbllblblb. Well, that's how it sounded when Tyler tried to tell me that he loved the lizards!<br /><br />Here's a peek at ring around the rosy.

We had the BEST time! This is going to be picture overload, but it was a beautiful day and we had a great time checking out the state's largest petting farm, riding the monster slide, playing in the kid area, taking a hayride and hanging out til well after dark roasting hot dogs and smores. Tyler hung close to Mommy and his other toddler friends while Jack ran off with the bigger kids and conquered the giant slide on his own! He had such a great time that I don't have very many pictures of him! We were all tired as the night ended but couldn't have asked for a better event! If you haven't been down to Eagleville in the Fall, add it to your "To Do" list!<br /><br />I don't think the sign applies to just the donkey!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbql2aMnI/AAAAAAAABhg/4IoZnfj4QVg/s1600-h/wLLF+Jack+T+Bite.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbql2aMnI/AAAAAAAABhg/4IoZnfj4QVg/s400/wLLF+Jack+T+Bite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392528022351524466" border="0" /></a>Tyler hanging in the kid zone:<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbppURsMI/AAAAAAAABhQ/ptsAKEtNzJA/s1600-h/wLLF+Tyler+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbppURsMI/AAAAAAAABhQ/ptsAKEtNzJA/s400/wLLF+Tyler+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392528006102233282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbpPRBlkI/AAAAAAAABhI/-skXo6DKWNA/s1600-h/wLLF+Tyler+horse.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbpPRBlkI/AAAAAAAABhI/-skXo6DKWNA/s400/wLLF+Tyler+horse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392527999109273154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgoWG0baI/AAAAAAAABiA/tPL4Wa_lZGY/s1600-h/wLLF+Tyler+peek.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgoWG0baI/AAAAAAAABiA/tPL4Wa_lZGY/s400/wLLF+Tyler+peek.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392533481323785634" border="0" /></a>This slide was awesome!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbWnpy-9I/AAAAAAAABg4/0woC4A6W_xI/s1600-h/wLLF+slide.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbWnpy-9I/AAAAAAAABg4/0woC4A6W_xI/s400/wLLF+slide.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392527679238110162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgnAWpEfI/AAAAAAAABhw/0zYZ7ffqCWU/s1600-h/wLLF+Slide+wide.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgnAWpEfI/AAAAAAAABhw/0zYZ7ffqCWU/s400/wLLF+Slide+wide.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392533458304700914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbV-vDgxI/AAAAAAAABgw/XttTy_X-yLY/s1600-h/wLLF+Jack.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYbV-vDgxI/AAAAAAAABgw/XttTy_X-yLY/s400/wLLF+Jack.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392527668254311186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgnyN_0hI/AAAAAAAABh4/OcEa-LHc4q4/s1600-h/wLLF+Boys.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LhBznPmP4OY/StYgnyN_0hI/AAAAAAAABh4/OcEa-LHc4q4/s400/wLLF+Boys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392533471690215954" border="0" /></a>The petting zoo was a big favorite of Tyler's.
