Back to school

Erik started 2nd grade a week and a half ago on August 15th. I can’t believe the summer is over and he is already a second grader. Wasn’t he just in kindergarten/preschool/diapers?

He has enjoyed his first week back, and today he told me he had a wonderful day! Well that is just great…as a matter of fact it is wonderful :)

Tyler seems to think he is going somewhere too.

Hehe

Bye-bye ducky ;)

Here’s Tyler saying “birthday birthday” over and over :) And he shows how to blow out the candles. He’s been doing this probably since May when Adam has his birthday…or maybe even since my b-day in April. It’s his classic sing song voice “birthday  birthday” with his head going back and forth, followed by the candle blowing. He does it quite frequently whenever he wants to talk about birthdays.

Birthdays! Erik turned 7 on August 6th and Tyler turned 2 on the 8th

As Erik requested we decorated cupcakes for the boys’ birthday party.

It was a messy but fun endeavor!

The kids loved it…

And especially loved the eating part that came next.

:)

Presents for two kids at once gets a little crazy.

It practically seemed like Christmas.

Even Adam got lucky and scored a gift – a “new” Lightning McQueen with “the new spoiler” – he is only slightly obsessed, really.

It may not have been his birthday but he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Of course so did the two birthday boys!

Erik got to go to Target with Daddy and pick out these toys with his very own gift card. What fun!

On Tyler’s actual birthday we had banana muffins, and sang to Tyler again.

He loved the muffin just as much as the cupcake two days earlier :)

And some more presents!

As you can tell Adam’s always trying to get “race car” into pictures.

Can’t believe this cute guy is two!

What a fun jeep for Erik…

but really for everybody…

Way to drive it baby

Teeth

On August 3rd Erik’s front tooth was about to fall out.

I had to take pictures to remember what he looked like before loosing those cute baby front teeth.

Tyler wanted pictures taken of him too…

of course :)

It fell out the next day on the 4th.

Six days later the other front tooth came out. Erik actually asked me to try and pull it (unusual for him), and I succeeded. I was amazed! First time I’ve pulled someone’s tooth out (other than my own).

Now he is officially toothless ;)
