It's been a few months since I've posted anything so here are a few highlights from the Summer and Fall.
In July Tyler turned 6! 
He had a dinosaur themed party with his friends.
On July 4th I finally captured Punxsutawney Phil and had him relocated to a nearby state park.
He won't be eating my flowers anymore!
A picture from one of our many trips to the Detroit Zoo with friends.
Another zoo picture. I couldn't get Bret away from the frogs.
Bret turned two!
And it looks like he bit off more than he can chew.

We went to the Wiard's Country Fair with the Evensen family and some other resident families.

Bret's duckie was a doctor.
The kids feeding the goats whatever they found on the ground.
Ben and Tyler being brave and going down the huge slide together!
Tyler got glasses and Bret nearly scraped his face off when he jumped off the patio (about 5 brick steps). He watched Tyler do it and well, monkey see, monkey do! 
Tyler holding his pet leopard gecko, Liz, and another nice shot of Bret's face.
Tyler's first day of 1st grade. He was so proud to be the first one there and get to hold his class sign. I don't know how we got there early that day-it hasn't happened since.
Bret was disappointed when he couldn't go to school too. I don't think he cares about school, he just misses Tyler. A few times during the day Bret will say "Mom. I go school get Tyler." He loves his big brother.
Bret braving the cold for another soccer season.
Action shot at the last game. It was freezing.
Tyler was super excited to get another medal. I think he would play soccer even if he didn't enjoy it, just so he could get the medal.
