Getting Back To Normal

We haven't seen this happy face in awhile.







Kenny hasn't been too happy lately. Kenny spent a day in the hospital with dehydration, pneumonia, and an ear infection. After some IVs and antibiotics he is starting to get better. He is not nearly his old self yet but yesterday we got some nice smiles and playing out of Kenny.

Happy Anniversary!

I just wanted to wish these crazy kids a happy 39th anniversary!

Janee Trasler is Awesome!!!!

We have had some correspondence with the author of Kenny's favorite book Ghost Gets Dressed, Janee Trasler. She saw that Kenny is Ghost's biggest fan and she was gracious enough to send Kenny some personalized Ghost and Monster books (Ghost Gets Dressed and Ghost Eats It All). I can't say thank-you enough. Kenny has been reading both books about a dozen times a day. Ghost Eats It All is great but Ghosts Gets Dressed is still the favorite. Here are our inaugural readings of Kenny's new books.





Thank-you again Janee, we are Ghost fans for life.

Kenny Video Time

We haven't blogged in awhile so here are some videos we took recently.

Kenny showing you that ice cream is cold


Kenny helping me empty the dishwasher (kind of)

Do you know this baby?

I was looking through some old family pictures and found this one. Heather thought it was a great expression and I thought it was funny. I thought I would share it with everyone.



Do you know who it is?

Or how about this handsome guy?



Or these two crazy kids?

Christmas Recap

Kenny reading his favorite book "Ghost Gets Dressed" on Christmas Eve morning.




We went to my parent's house for lunch on Christmas Eve.

"Mom are you going to wipe this chocolate off my face?"


A picture of Kenny on Christmas morning in front of the tree.

Kenny clapping for Christmas.


A nice picture of Kenny and Mom



We then went to my sister's house on Christmas for lunch and to see everyone.

We had to get by the guard Yellow Lab first.


"Boy, I crack myself up."


"What? You don't think I'm funny?"





Vicky trying to find who the gift was from before the wrapping and tag was totally destroyed by Richie.


Kenny looking at his new toy. It looks like it can make lots of noise. Yaaaeeeehhhh!

Upset Steelers Fans

Well, last Sunday was a little sad in the Lyon household. We were rooting for the Steelers to make the playoffs. They needed to win and then receive some from other teams. The Steelers won but they didn't get the help they needed to squeak in. Here are some pictures from Sunday.

Kenny with his game-face on.


Rockin' his Steelers Gear - thanks Carl


Bogey was even ready for the game


Kenny flipping between games during commercial breaks.


"I cut to the left."


"I cut to the right. Touchdown!"


"Who is cuter, me or Big Ben? Don't worry I know the answer."


"A burger always tastes better after a win."


"Let's go out Dad. I can't watch these other teams lay down anymore. I need another burger. Let's go to 5-Guys."


Carl also sent Kenny a nice Southern Illinois Saluki shirt. Go SIU. Sorry the pictures aren't better. It was near nap time. This was the best I could do.



"I really need to nap Dad."
