The Ciuffetelli name will live strong!

Heather, Ty, and I went to the doctor today to find out the gender of the twins. If you look at the arrows on both pictures, they are pointing to a penis! That's right, two boys! Wow, I guess I am a man since all I can reproduce are boys. Anyway, we are a little sad that one is not a girl, but are happy we do not have to buy new clothes! Just kidding, well not really. Anyway, we wanted to share with you all. If you bought any girls stuff, take it back. Enjoy the ultrasounds.

After donuts, cider, and hot chocolate

Ty had a fun day. First Santa, then donuts, and finally sledding! This was Ty's first sledding experience and I caught it on video. We were in Grandma and Grandpa Gillard's backyard, just perfect for Ty.

After Santa

After the photo with Santa, we all went to get donuts, cider, and hot chocolate. Ty enjoyed the donuts with his buddy Phillip.

Ty did it!

The first photo is Christmas 2006, the second is Christmas 2007, and the third was today! Ty with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Three Cedars Farms in Northville, MI. Ty was not lying, he said he was going to smile and he did it. It only took 3 years, but it was well worth the wait.

In line waiting for Santa

Ty finally visited Santa this year. We were standing in line and Ty said he was going to sit on Santa's lap and smile. The last two years, Ty has been terrified of Santa. Here he is practicing.

BIG BROWN EYES!

The title says it all.

Daddy's little helper

Ty loves to help, especially when we put up the Christmas Tree. He likes the singing snowmen and putting the ornaments on the tree. He also loves to sing Jingle Bells.

Twins at 13 weeks now!

The twins are measuring at 13 weeks as of Thanksgiving. Ty was able to go to the doctor with us and see the ultrasound. It was awesome. We heard the heart beats, saw them moving, and even saw twin B put his/her thumb in him/her mouth. It is still too early to determine the gender of the twins, but as soon as we can, we want to find out. Twin A is 64mm long and twin B is 71mm long, so both are about 3 inches.

Ty's Birthday

Here are a few pics from Ty's birthday. IT WAS CRAZY! Ty had all his friends there and it was a madhouse when the presents were getting opened. Ty loved all his presents and loved all the help from his friends.

What is that doctor????

Well, looks like our family is about to grow by 67%. That's right, we are having twins! Here is the first ultrasound taken on November 4. Right now, Heather is about 9 weeks and the projected due date is June 4. The plus sign is right next to the bottom one and the top one is easy to see.

McQueen and skunk

Here are Ty and Gavin. Ty is Lightning McQueen and Gavin is a skunk. Gavin spent his first Halloween with us and Ty just loved being with Gavin. They are soooo cute!

Happy Halloween

Here is Ty as Lightning McQueen. He had an awesome time trick or treating this year. He was so excited to get candy. When we got home, he started to pass out his candy to mommy, daddy, aunt Stacy, uncle Scott, aunt Angie, Grammy and Grandpa Gillard.

Ty and Gavin in the tubby

Gavin was cracking up when Ty was in the bath with him. They were both very dirty after they ate ice cream or should I say put ice cream all over eachother. We had a great time in Cincinnati and Ty had a ton of fun with his cousin Gavin.

Ty loves the diving board

Here is Ty jumping off the diving board at our pool party for my Wednesday night softball team. Every year we have a party after one of our games and Ty just loves the pool. He would only jump from the side of the pool, then built up enough courage to jump off the diving board. He did not want to leave after he realized how much fun jumping off the diving board is.

Proud Grad

Here is Ty holding up up his certificate he received for successfully completeing "Two's on the Move" class. We are so proud of him!

GQ?

Another picture of Ty at the wedding. This time he is posing for is GQ photo shoot. He loved the dance floor and was on it most of the night. He had one near disaster when he ran right in front of a waitress carrying a tray. Luckly, she did not drop the tray and Ty was back on the dance floor shortly after the fall.

Ty at the Grammy's Red Carpet Party

Actually, this is Ty at my cousin's wedding (Scott and Kate) on Friday July 25. The wedding was at Wabeek County Club and it was the perfect day. The wedding was beautiful and it was so much fun. Ty had a great time waving to all his family and friends.

Stanley Cup!

Ty, Grandpa Ciuffetelli, and Daddy had our picture taken with the Stanley Cup. Ty hugged it as soon as he got his hands on it. I guess I better start to save money for hockey equipment! GO WINGS!!!!!

Happy 4th of July from Ty and Gavin

Heather could not resist getting Ty and Gavin matching shirts. So, of course we had to take pictures of them. As you can see, Ty was cooperating until the end. We took over 150 pictures in 5 days, so I'm sure Ty had enough.

Ty and Gavin

Ty just loves his cousin Gavin. Here they are together in Cheboygan. Ty had so much fun with his cousin and can't wait to see him soon.

Ty with Mommy at Topinabee and Mackinac

On our way to Cheboygan, we stopped at Topinabee Library so Ty could see the water. That is what Heather used to do when she was growing up. Also, we took Ty to Mackinac to get some fudge, yummy!

Ty and his best buddy, Evan.

My best buddy Joe has a son who is two days older than Ty. So, I guess they must be best friends too! Here are Ty and Evan at the fireworks at the Spree on June 29.

Ty at the Spree

On Sunday June 29 we went to the Spree (Livonia annual fair). Ty loved the rides at the Spree. Here are some pictures of him on some of the rides. We also saw fireworks that night. Ty had a blast.

Ty off roading at The Darby's

Ty enjoyed riding the dunebuggy at the Darby's. He was able to drive and steer all by himself. He just loves doing things all by himself.

Human Bowling Ball

Ty's first "2's on the Move" Class

Ty is taking a class at the rec center called 2's on the move. He had so much fun. He played t-ball, played with an exercise ball, ran an obstacle course, and rolled on a scooter.

Ty loves all sports, even soccer

BIG BOY TY!

Ty is in the process of potty training. He put on his big boy underwear today for the first time. He wants the world to see it too!

Ty having fun at the Fisher Carnival

Ty loves the carnival. Here he is on the mini-merry-go-round and on the big bouncy obstacle course float thing at Heather's school carnival.

Watch out Fish!
