It's been a while!

Wow, it has been along time. We got a new computer and for some reason it has not liked my blog and not allowed me to post new stuff and read other blogs. It has been very frustrating but today, look what I can do, I am so excited.
Just a little catch up on out life.........
Marty's Grandma Beirman passed away in February, she was 85 and the sweetest Grandma ever. She loved her family, we will all miss her.
Marty's Mom turned 60 in February, she had a surprise Birthday party that looked like so much fun, we weren't able to go, but I hope she knows how much we love her and appreciate everything that she does for us.
We went to visit my family in February, and celebrated what would have been my Granddad's 100th birthday. It was good to see all of my Dad's family together and eat Grandma's homemade noodles. They are so good.
The boys got to spend a little bit of time doing some chores on the farm, they love the animals and to help feed them.


We were bored one day and I decided to make newspaper hats for the boys. I used to make these all the time when I was a kid. We pretended like we were pirates and made a treasure map and everything. The boys loved it, we had so much fun.
I love this picture!
Tyson turned 18 months the end of January and my friend told me how to potty train an 18 month old, so I thought I would give it a shot. I had my doubts, but it worked. Tyson is loving his "bunkas" as he calls them. He is so cute. He has done so well, and I am so proud of him for putting up with my craziness.
I snapped this shot after a long day, looks like Dylan had a long day also.
Life is good, we all healthy, happy and crazy.

Ok - the bumcheeks pic is the cutest thing ever! Do you suppose the 18 month thing would work in conjunction with a new baby?
