So precious!!
We took a picture of Laney and Ty for Ty's birth announcement. We bought a new dress for Laney to wear at the blessing and Ty is wearing the little outfit that he's going to wear at the blessing. Mormor made the cute little tie since we couldn't buy one anywhere.
Legos from Mormor and Morfar.

I decorated the table when Ben had taken Laney for a walk. When she came back she saw all the Dora stuff and first thing she said was, "nice."

We were so suprised at how gentle and soft Laney is with Ty. We never told her to be but she was from the very beginning.

Mormor and Ty.
The proud big sister. When Laney came to see Ty the first thing she said was, "Ty cute!" and then she just kept saying that he was cute. She wanted to kiss him and hug him all the time.
Ben holding Ty in the hospital.

I finally got to hold him.
On March 28th, 2006 at 9:52 pm little Tyler was born.

Mormor comes to help when Nadja is going to have Ty. When Laney was born I went into labor the night that my parents came to Salt Lake. This time I went into labor 3 days later. It was perfect so that Laney had time to get to know my mom again so she wouldn't be sad when we went to the hospital and she had to stay with my mom.

Laney and Ben are lying under the dinner table and counting some money that Laney found in her pocket.
Laney has been sick for the last couple of days and wanted to watch Dora ALL the time. Here she is snuggling up in her little chair in front of the TV.
Laney has always been scared of animals but lately she's getting more brave. There's a cat that always runs around by our house and she LOVES it. She chases it around and wants to feed it all kinds of things all the time.
The one side of our house was all icicles. It was hard to get them all in the picture. But they were really big and one of them went about halfway down to the ground.
Laney built a little snowman. But the snow is not very good to make snowmen with but it sure is good for skiing.
Laney and I had to shovel all the snow since Ben had just had his surgery.
On day in February it snowed all day and all night and this is what we woke up to.....about 15 inches of snow.
Laney is my helper. Here she's helping with the dishes.
Laney wanted to borrow Mama's hat and gloves. She put them on all by herself.
Laney is watching her new favorite show - Dora the Explorer.
We made bubbles in the sink and Laney loves playing with them. Notice Laney's hair. She wanted it that way.
