Summa time and the livin's easy....

It's FINALLY summer up here in Vermont and I have to admit the long winters are so worth the perfect summers.  The Pytlik's have been very busy traveling here and there and camping, partying, gardening, building a deck and visiting friends and family.  This weekend we get to relax and enjoy some family time.  Can't wait! 

Here are a few videos of the kido's lately.  Toby just decided he wanted his training wheels taken off and never put back on.  He can even start ands stop by himself.  What a big guy.
 

And little JJ is trying to walk and pointing and waving all the time.  I am just not ready for this....

And here are some random pics form our first trip to the town beach.  It was so much fun with both boys and I know there will be many more trips to come.  Toby was swimming under water - oy!

Fun at the beach!!

Snoozin

JJ  happy as always :)

There is just too much chaos going on to not enjoy these precious moments!!

Growing up too fast!

Both of the kids are growing up way too fast, but it is more noticeable with a baby.  Jayden is already babbling away and ready to crawl.  He is going to be 8 months on Friday and is so mellow and easy going; I wonder what he will be like as he grows up.  Will he stay mellow or kick into gear and be a terror? Only time will tell.

I have never seen a baby crawl quite like JJ we call it the "commando crawl".

His favorite thing to say is “BA” but he also says DA, MA and GA and some combinations.

Ba bye 2010...welcome 2011!

Ah…2010 where do I start!  I hope when I look back on his year I remember how fortune we were to have the absolute BEST family and friends around who supported us through some very challenging times. We were so lucky to have both of our parents chip in and help out with Toby while I was on bed rest pregnant with baby Jayden.  Our family and friends came through like I never expected watching Toby, cooking meals, lending books, keeping me company on the couch, bringing treats and flowers, just listening to me rant and Julia even flew from NC to help us out!  We are very fortunate to have people in our lives that care so much it’s almost overwhelming to think about.  Although I spent 1/3 of the year lying on my left side looking at the ceiling, I still say it has been the best year yet!  Our family is complete with Toby and Jayden and we are the luckiest parents to have 2 healthy perfect children.  I am sure there are many challenges ahead but if we can make it through this year I hope we can make it through anything.

So…my news years resolution is to not sweat the small stuff. That’s HARD for a type A psycho like me but I am going to try.  Dirty laundry, dishes in the sink, things out of order I am going to try to take it all in stride. And it's all small stuff....right???
