Halloween

The kids had a great time for Halloween.  Thankfully both kids were fine with wearing old costumes, though at the last minute Tyler said that he wanted to be Superman.  Thankfully I was able to talk him into being the shark...and he looked adorable!

He didn't want to wear his costume...but once he was told that he had to wear it to get candy, he put it on.

Enjoying a trunk or treat at Roo's work.  It was pretty warm here (and they are sweaty kids) so we didn't keep them in their costumes for too long.

Our ward also had a Trunk or Treat--they had a blast!

More from Korea

Get ready for a million pictures from Korea! 

While Roo and I were in Japan, my parents took the kids to a Café where dogs "live".  I'm sure Ty had a fun time getting to pet all the puppies!

Taking the bus back to the hotel.  Public transportation is the way to go in Korea.  I definitely enjoyed the bus more than the subway because it was a pain to go up and down all the stairs with the stroller and with 2 kids in tow.  Thankfully they are good travelers and did pretty well for the most part.

One of the nights that Ty fell asleep on the bus ride home.

Japan

My parents were rock stars and watched the boys for us so that Roo and I could go for a getaway alone.  When first planning a trip we wanted to go to Thailand (to get some cheap massages)...but I'm not very good at geography and didn't realize how FAR Bangkok was.  So we stayed much closer and went to Tokyo.  We had a great time!

After a 14 hour flight with kids it was nice to be on a plane alone!

At Shibuya Crossing.  This picture doesn't even do it justice with how crowded it was.

In honor of our family and friends who love sushi we decided to at least try it in a fish market. 

I've never used a bidet before this trip...but I have to say, Japan has it going on.  I especially like the sound option. 

Only in Asia...

Some of our food...it was delicious!

Coex Aquarium

Once again I am apologizing for falling so far behind on the blog!  In October we went to Korea to visit my parents.  The boys had an awesome time!  I'll be sure to post more pictures, but here are some from the Aquarium. 

A few weeks ago we went to a doctors appointment because earlier in the summer we'd noticed that Ryan had some hearing loss.  The hospital was about an hour and a half away so we made the day of it.  The town had a Texas Roadhouse which was having a children's night and the boys had a great time getting up close to the firetruck.

Enjoying a bagel before school.  I have about 40 minutes to kill in between the kids' school times and going home is way backtracking-- so Ty is spoiled and gets bagels.  A lot.

Ty had a great birthday and got spoiled by Uncle Andy and Aunt Nikki!

Here are just some pictures of the boys...since I know that's what the Grandparents want to see!

I LOVE it when the boys get along.  Even though they tend to fight now,  I'm hoping that when they're older they'll be best friends! 

Ty loves wearing Roo's hats--he wants to be just like Daddy!

For Ty to start school this year he needed to be potty trained...and thankfully it wasn't too painful of a process!  One day he was going poop and this is how I found him.  This kid seriously cracks us up!  He keeps us on our toes but maybe that is help keeping us young.

First days of school

Ryan started school a few weeks ago and Ty started his 3 year old class this week.  Ryan so far is enjoying school.  He is not a morning person so he always says that he doesn't want to go to school, but once he gets there he has a great time.  He just told me this week that he is tired of eating sandwiches and would like me to pack something us, which really stresses me out! I'll have to look on Pinterest for some ideas.

Roo and I always say that we can't believe how big he is--he's such a good boy!

Not the most flattering picture--but you get the idea. 

Ty was super excited to start school too!  Even though he was shy when we went to his orientation he went into his classroom with no issues when I dropped him off.  He had to be potty trained so that was great motivation for me to get that done during the summer.  So far he's only gone one day but I'm sure that he's enjoying hanging out with his friends.
