Tyler's 4th Birthday!

Last Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008, I took Wylie and Ashley to their friend, Tyler's, 4th Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese in Alpharetta. Here is Ashley playing skee ball...somehow, she always got one in the hole...
After playing for a little bit, everyone sat down for pizza...

horn blowing...

and singing Tyler "Happy Birthday" with Chuck E. Cheese himself...

Here's the birthday boy enjoying some cake...

After pizza and cake, it was back to playing...looks like Ashley has picked up a hitchhiker...

Ashley and Bob the Builder, taking a ride on Scoop...

Then, it was time for some video games...

Ashley tried bopping the moles (at least I think they were moles) that popped out of the hole...

Charlie, Tyler's best friend, was good at hitting the moles...

Here's Wylie trying to scoop the bees and put them in the honey pot...and Ashley is watching closely to see how her big brother does...

And, guess who we ran into, but Josh, Beth, and the boys!! I forgot I was in their territory. We got to see Sara, Davis, and the girls, too...

Wylie looks like he's really concentrating to drive that machine (Wylie tells me this blue machine is Snort, the big vacuum, from Teletubbies...who knew?)...

Ashley was sliding on this slide and saw another little girl sliding down head first, so she started sliding that way...

Then, Wylie showed up and started doing it too...

Next, they started sliding down together...how cute is that!...

After the slide, it was on to the monster truck...let me tell you, this thing not only rocks side to side, but it raises up pretty high...my two adrenaline junkies love it!...I think Ashley will be dating the bad boy/adventurous type when she's older (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree), she just loves to have fun!...

Paint Day!

Last Friday, Allison and I took Ashley and Tyler to the Toddle Time playgroup at St. Mary's Hospital in Athens. They were having a paint day, which sounded like lots of fun. Wylie played with Mimi, while Ashley and I met Allison and Tyler at the hospital.

Ashley and Tyler played with some of the other kids first...

And then, the painting began...

Ashley looked like a real pro...I realized that I had never painted with her before. Wylie and I have painted many times, but Ashley was so little at the time, she was just playing in the bouncy seat...I forgot how much fun it is to get out some paints and let the creative juices flow...Here are Darien and Ellie...Allison knows them from previously going to Toddle Time...this was my first time going and we really enjoyed meeting them...Darien is really sweet, and Ellie had a great time...

Allison is trying to help Tyler get some of the paint on the paper, instead of himself; meanwhile, Ashley is painting away...

Tyler had a great time getting the paint everywhere...he actually wasn't acting himself that day, he was pretty tired...

Here is Ashley and her first masterpiece...

Then, she started on her second...this time, no brush just finger painting!

Tyler is still going to work, too...he did a great job on his painting...it was so bright and colorful...

Ashley is done and ready to wash up...

Tyler has had about enough...

Ashley wanted to wash her hands herself (like about everything else she does)...notice the paint all over he feet, too...

My sweet Ashley...

Mommy and Ashley, playing and dancing...

Ashley LOVES to jump, too...She accidentally hit Mommy in the nose with her head while she was jumping, so she gave me a kissie to make it better...

Tyler's all cleaned up and happy now...I don't think he liked being all dirty...that will change when he gets older, after all he IS a Frazier boy...

Painting wore Ellie out...

Ashley found a new friend...

Tyler found some Cheerios... :)

Ashley decided she was hungry, too, after all that painting...she is quite the little lady...how many Cheerios can you get in your mouth, Ashley?

Tyler was having fun pulling all the toys out of the bucket...

Caught ya!...

Whew, what a morning!...

Thursday Playday with Tyler

We had fun with Tyler on Thursday. He is such a happy baby, and so entertained by Wylie and Ashley...
Wylie was trying to get Ashley and Tyler to smile for the camera...

He got both of them to look, but forgot to look himself...

Wylie decided to get in the exersaucer...check out Tyler's smile...he is so funny, now whenever you hold up the camera, he smiles...what a cutie! Here is his smile he gives when he's in a good mood (which is most of the time), and he really hams it up for the camera... Ashley took this picture of Wylie in the exersaucer...
