Ty's New Favorite Thing

Monday night is family night at our house and Dad choose the family activity . . . shooting bows in the back pasture since it is bow hunting season of course! I thought Ty would last about 10 minutes watching daddy shoot and Mama miss the target by a mile, but I was wrong. Clint still has his little red bow from when he was a kid and Ty thought it was great. The video is super long but I think you will be able to see Ty's enthusiasm for the sport!

Ty loves his horse.

 

Ty thinks it is so funny when the horse nuzzles him. He thinks the horse it tickling him and he tries to tickle the horse back. 

Zoo

 

Ty loves the zoo. His favorite animals are moneys (of course), river otters, seals, and polar bears.

 

 

There are giant legos to play with at the zoo. Ty mainly likes to just be near all the other kids playing and doesn't much care about the legos, but it is the first thing he heads to every time we go to the Zoo.

 



 

 

Watching for the seals to swim by.

Great Grandma Wood

 

We finally got to take Ty up to Northern Idaho to visit his Great Grandma Wood (Clint's Grandmother). As you can see Ty did not really enjoy the 1600 mile drive. He was so bored he even read the atlas.

Ty's first visit with his great grandma Wood. Four generations! Grandma got the biggest kick about Ty running around the nursing home. He thought all the wheelchairs and the captive audience was fantastic. We felt so blessed to get to take Ty up for a visit especially to celebrate Grandmas 95th birthday. Wow.

 

Ty loved his great aunt Brenda!

 

We ate out of fruit stands the whole way up.

We ate such yummy fruits and fruit pies and shakes the whole drive up.

 



 

Clint picking blackberries. Ty's FAVORITE food in he whole world is blackberries. While we drove Ty ate wild blackberries by the handful. he ate so many we thought he might get a tummy ache. He knows the sign for "MORE" and just said it over and over. He knew we had tons of blackberries so he refused to eat anything else the whole trip home.

 

Wild blackberries everywhere! We picked a few gallons and made some delicious jam.

 

The Dorshack dam.

 

We visited the bar Clint's grandparents built. It brought back a lot of fun memories for Clint.

 

Ty loved the pool table! There were plenty of place for Curious George (Ty's constant companion) to hide. When Clint was a little boy he would sleep on the pool table when he came to visit his Grandparents.

Our Family!

Good View

 

The view from Ty's bedroom window is pretty exciting these days!

 

Our neighbor is working with his tractor and Ty loves to watch it. When it isn't working or parked where he can see it he spends the whole day taking me to his bedroom and saying "oh no oh no oh no oh no" and laying his head dramatically on the window sill. Our neighbor takes him for rides on this tractor so I think Ty thinks that it is HIS!

Yard Work

 

 

Ty helping with the yard work. He loved to watch us use the wheelbarrow,

but he was not too sure about riding in in.

Watching the Sunset

 

 

 Every night Ty begs for a truck ride. If he is lucky (and he is spoiled so most nights he is lucky) we drive up the hill across from the house and watch the sunset.

You can see that Ty does not care about the sun setting - he just wants to go ride in his truck!!

 



 

Love these boys so much!
