Happy Father's Day Troy!

Happy Father's Day Troy!
You are an amazing Daddy to Kyle! It is always a joy to watch you interacting with your son. I love the way you play with him and teach him how to do things. Kyle wants to be just like you! Kyle is always happy when he is "helping" daddy with projects like building a deck or putting together a shelf or even sweeping the floor. When you come home from work Kyle lights up and grabs a football and is ready to play with daddy! These photos capture precious moments between you and Kyle over the past 2 and a half years. I am so excited to see you be a daddy of TWO boys!
We love you Troy (Daddy)!
Love, Christy and Kyle

Cute Kids

We LOVE our "Small Group"
We meet every other Wednesday and encourage eachother to grow in our relationship with God, thrive in our Marriages, and pray for eachother as friends.
Our "small group" is not so small anymore.
We have 5 couples: 10 adults, 9 kids, and 1 fetus.
Here are some pretty cute kids: (1 baby boy not pictured...he was trying to go to sleep)

We are going on a "small group vacation" in August. It should be a BLAST with this crowd!

Big Boy Bed: Update

Last night (June 3rd) Kyle slept in his Big Boy Bed
ALL NIGHT LONG!

Yeah!

Big Boy Bed

Kyle gets a new room so that the baby can have his nursery.
We spent 4 hours at Ikea picking out new furniture. Thank goodness Kyle was at his Grandma's house. I don't think he could have handled 4 hours in that store! I found the perfect bedding on sale at Target. It is Green, Blue, and Orange Jungle Safari Animals! Kyle loves animals. Especially elephants and monkeys!
We don't even need to paint the room since the walls are green and match the decor! Yeah! That saves time and money.
We are not finished with the room yet, but we got the bed set up. I am happy with the way it looks!
Kyle likes his new bed. But....the 1st night he tried to sleep in it did not go too well.
It was a hot May evening. I put him in bed at 7:40 and he did not fall asleep quickly like he normally does. Was it too hot in his room? probably. Was he a bit nervous to be in a different bed in a different room? probably.
So...I had to go in a few times to "help" him. By 8:40 he told me he wanted to go to his crib. So I agreed and put him in his crib.
He has not wanted to try to sleep in his new bed the past 3 days. He told me that the new bed could be for the baby. He wants to keep his crib.
So....I figure I have 4 more months to try and convince him that his new room is cool and fun and hopefully he will agree to sleep in there one of these days.
Did any of you other moms have similar experiences getting your child to sleep in a big boy/girl bed? Any tips?

Cool new bed, Kyle!
You are such a BIG BOY!
