A few more pictures

They're so cute together!

He seems to think if he's not in his room he doesn't have to take a nap.

Tyson and his buddy, Bennett, at a party at the park.  You can't tell, but they were VERY dirty!

My favorite thing to do with the kids.

Double rainbow.  This is looking from Uncle Brian and Aunt Gail's backyard.

August and September

Tyson said he was in his helicopter (like Mater in Cars).

Again, in his helicopter (imaginations come alive when you're moving and you have empty cabinets and closets).

Dad helping Ruby with her homework.  Tyson trying to get them to play with him.

All these pictures of Tyson because Ruby's at school all day.  Tyson didn't want to take a nap while we were packing up and moving so he would try to be as close to where I was without getting in trouble for being out of his room.

At a church BBQ.  The kids had such a great time on the trampoline.  It rained really hard after this picture was taken while they were jumping which made it even more fun.  It was all very unsafe, but super fun for them!

Tyson attacking Geoff.  Since Geoff is at home more often Tyson wants him to play all the time.

Ruby being silly with her doll, Rainbow.  She loves to braid her hair while she's lying in bed at night.

Tyson and Maka.  The kids are getting used to the dogs and the cat.  This was a breakthrough, since Tyson wanted to us to hold him for the first week we were here at Aunt Gail and Uncle Brian's.  Now Tyson chases them constantly.  We have to tell him to leave them alone.  Ruby is doing wonderful getting over her fear of the dogs and cat.  She pets Maka and can find a commanding voice somewhere in her when she needs to.  I'll post video when I get a chance.  I'll try to get more pictures of Ruby.  She's usually at school, ballet or doing homework.  When she's not doing those things, she's off somewhere playing with Rainbow.  Every once in a while I can convince her to sit still and cuddle with me.

In the pool too!

Ruby started swimming to the bottom of the 8 ft pool at Turtle Bay!

Tyson also taught himself how to swim!  He's a fish!!!

Camping with Auntie Rachel at Ho'omaluhia (no imagination)

Bishop Museum with Auntie Rachel

Celebrating Ruby's 7th birthday early with Aunt Gail, Uncle Brian and Auntie Rachel

Because of all the transition in our life right now we decided it was best to wait to potty train Tyson.  He's not that type of kid.  He's decided to potty train himself.  We keep finding him stripped down  and sitting on the toilet!

Me and my sister

I've spent a lot of time with just Tyson since Ruby started school at the end of July

They love playing in the sprinkler

Ruby's doll to dress up- he only tolerates it so long
Tyson is a bit compulsive, must be lined up and organized properly
