Don't you just love alliteration? Dee didn't have to coach or scout last night, so we took the kids to the pumpkin patch. They were actually not too cooperative. But I still managed to capture a few cute ones. I have been editing on and off all morning whenever I can get the kids distracted. Here are 4 of my favorites for a preview in case it takes forever for me to finish the others :-)
The following is probably my favorite picture that I have of the two of them together. It's not a fantastic picture of either one individually, but I like the way they look together.
Hope you enjoyed! I just love fall, and speaking of fall, we will be headed out to a football game when the kids wake up from their naps. Go Roos!

All About Ty

A Meme
I was tagged by my friend Becky to post on my blog the 6th picture in the 6th folder. I knew it would probably be interesting since I have a lot of pictures. I didn't actually have a 6th picture in my 6th folder. I only had 2. So this is the 4th picture in the 7th folder.
It was from 2005 when I was coaching cross country. I used to take pictures at the meets since the yearbook never came to our meets for photos. Anyway, I found this picture. A SENIOR guy was taking a nap at the Troy HS cross country meet. And he was sucking his thumb!!! I blurred his face since I don't think I'm supposed to post pics of students--this guy graduated a long time ago anyway.
I am suddenly worried about Emily and her thumb-sucking. I've been pretty relaxed about it, and I have the attitude that she'll stop when she's ready (or when other kids start to make fun of her). But now I am having visions of her being 18 years old and still doing it. Yikes!
Now I am going to tag Angela, Christy, and Dawn! Let's see what you ladies come up with!

Emily Says, Ty says
I don't want my blog to become political, but I do have a funny story about politics. I hope you will find it humorous even if you disagree with my opinion on a certain candidate. Okay, that was the disclaimer. Now here's the story. This happened a few weeks ago, and I've been meaning to write it down.
We were eating lunch, and Dee was watching Fox News. Obama was giving a speech, and the newscasters were discussing it. Emily started repeating what she was hearing on the news, so she was saying "Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama" over and over again.
I decided to start teaching her about our political beliefs at a young age, so I said, "Emily, we don't like Obama."
She said, "Why don't we like him?"
I said, "He wants to take away all of our money. He wants to give our money to other people."
She said, "Oh, okay......like Zacchaeus."
I said, "Yes, Emily, like Zacchaeus. Very good." I was super-proud of her for making that connection, and Kudos to her Bible class teachers.
She said, "Mommy, Zacchaeus was nice after he saw Jesus, and he gave the money back."
I said, "If Mr. Obama takes all of our money away, I hope he will do the same thing."
She said, "Me, too."
Now every time he is on TV, she said "We don't like Obama--he wants to take all of our money."
The funny thing is that I remember my mom and dad telling me the same thing about Walter Mondale when he ran against Reagan. Only I didn't make the Bible story connection, and I was in grade school.
So what about Mr. Ty?
He can now say baseball (bee-ba), football (fu-ba), Handy Manny (Ha-Ma), Shoes (soos) along with the sign, Bible (ba-ba), and Cheese.
