Here is a brief re-cap of what has happened since my last post.
We all had our 6 mos. dental check up in August and Tyler had several cavities, I had 3 and Braden got away with none. It turns out they wanted to put Tyler completely out to have his teeth fixed. We scheduled his appointment for Oct. 6Th and I am so glad it is over. I had serious doubts about it and am just thankful it is done with. All he remembers is the doctor giving him a shot in the arm and the rest is history. My worry was that he would be afraid the dentist and never be able to go without having some fear set in. He was in the chair for about an hour and he had 3 fillings and one crown put on. He was so out of it when they came to get me and it lasted for about two hours after we left. It's times like these that really makes you realize how much you love your kiddos. He got his Daddy's teeth unfortunately....
In August we went to Yellow Stone for about 5 days and we couldn't have asked for better weather. We went with Braden's family and had a wonderful time. Braden and I hadn't been there in years and it was nice to go back and take our family.
This is the crazy cat Man.. It was so strange, he was hanging out on a bench on a hike down to a waterfall. He tried to stick the cat on Tyler. Too funny....

In September we went to Capitol Reef for a weekend and again, had beautiful weather. We explored a slot canyon and took time to stop at the orchard and see some petroglyphs.
This past weekend I joined Braden for a work trip to Grand Junction and on our way home we stopped at Moab and took our buggy out for the first time. It was again good weather and we had a great time with friends. Tyler and Syd loved to play in all the red dirt and throw rocks. Tyler is at the age where he doesn't listen all that well and he loves to climb and get up close to all the cliff edges. Lets just say he gave me a heart attack a few times but all is well. Again, he is just like his father..

This is our good friends who tipped over on Rocker Knocker. All they needed was a little help from Braden and a strap to pull them back on there wheels.
Syd is growing and changing so much. I just want her to stay little forever. I love the way she smiles and giggles now. She just makes my heart sing. Syd loves to be chased by her brother. Nothing makes me happier than to see my two children laughing and playing together. I cherish those moments as they often only come once in a great while. Usually Tyler is tormenting her in one way or another. I guess that is what a big brother is suppose to do right?

Tyler is back in preschool and is loving it. He doesn't cry any more when I drop him off and he is excited to go. He really likes his teacher and school friends. He is learning to identify letters and tells me of new things he learns all the time, often days after he was taught. It's funny to see his little brain work.
He is all boy and loves to shoot pretend guns and play pirates. He is always talking about boy stuff and loves to get into trouble. He loves his bike and has gotten so good at riding it. I love our evenings when he will snuggle with me on the couch. He loves to have his back scratched and be tickled. He gets that from his Mom...Braden is heading to New York for work this next week. I so wish I could go with him but it just isn't in the cards. I am really looking forward to hearing about all the places he will visit and I will be eagerly waiting for his return.
I took a client with me to Vegas for the furniture market in September and it turned out to be a really good sale for me. Work is still terribly slow and I need all the business I can get. I am really looking forward to things picking up. I drove down and back by myself and it was a long, lonely drive but well worth it.
That is just a glimpse of what has been happening. I would have to say that it was a great summer!
