Ty Masters (well kind of) the Monkey Bars

Ty decided it was time to work on his monkey bar skills

He has such determination when he puts his head to something!

This was a small set of monkey bars and were made for smaller kids because they were pretty close to the ground. Looked like a good challenge to Ty.

awww man!

SUCCESS!

He can really get it swinging. I wish I had a sound track of his dialogue about this. He did not give up--he just kept trying over and over.

try again

I can do it!

A Little Scrapbook

This is a scrapbook I made of the boys with some pictures from the past few months.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Enjoy.

I Couldn't Resist

Ty is not a big fan on sitting on the potty. He would much rather stand. Now he has gotten to where he will sit to do his business, but he has to have all of his things and be plenty comfortable. Step stool, potty seat, DS or reading material is a must.

I just thought he looked so cute sitting on the potty. I know he will hate me for this someday :)

Pictures From Lake City

After Brooks was done playing soccer in Lake City we went down to the river to get some pictures of the boys. It was a beautiful morning and the changing colors were so pretty.

Why do boys love throwing rocks so much?

cheesy smile

These were too far away to really see us very well.

Plus, getting all three to look continues to be a major feat. Cooper looks like he is picking bugs off of Ty.

I wish I hadn't put a hat on that morning. I didn't think about pictures at the river.

The fall colors were so spectacular that weekend. I am sure they are all gone now as we have had several really windy stormy days.
"The Boys" throwing rocks and being boys.
They do love to climb and explore. If I had planned ahead I would have taken a change of dry clothes so they could get in the river, but I was not prepared for that on this trip.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

It was 10 degrees when I put Brooks on the bus this morning, and the sun was up! I guess winter really is right around the corner. The leaves have changed and most have already dropped. I guess it is time to get out the puffy coats.

Soccer Monster Part Two

This week's soccer game was here in CB and I did not take my camera.....but our little soccer monster made a GOAL! He was so excited. Brooks was definitely not having his best game--not much hustle and kind of lack luster, but he was in the right place at the right time and had the perfect shot. He was so proud. (us too)

Soccer Monster

Brooks has started fall soccer and seems to really be enjoying it. These pictures are from a tournament we went to in Lake City (85 miles from Crested Butte) last Saturday. Brooks is in his yellow jersey and grey pants.in the openLast season Brooks would kick the ball good, but then not run and dribble it. This season he has really learned to run and advance the ball at the same time.You can't see this very well but Brooks got to do the throw in They scored off of his throw in Celebrating the goal.

Getting some instructions from Coach RileyThis trip they played 2 games against the Lake City kids. Porter calls it the championship game since they get to travel.

Our team is rainbow colored because not everyone makes the trip to Lake City. Just a couple from each team so everyone wears their jersey from their team in Crested Butte.

It was kind of a long trip for a couple of hours of soccer, but it was fun and we got to see a part of the state we had never been before.
