Look What I Can Do!!

Our Sweet Son has been so busy growing up and accomplishing things in these last two weeks! We are so amazed at all he can do and how smart he is becoming! (Yes we are very proud parents!) So this post is a HOORAY for Tyson! Here's What Hes Been Up To:

1.) It all started when we found him upstairs with Daddy's shaving cream, thinking that he was all grown up and trying to be just like Dad!!! He found himself pretty amusing!! So did We!!!

2.) He Wants To Walk Everywhere! He is doing such a good job walking (becoming quite the Pro), and can even stand himself up without holding on to anything! He is so determined to get this whole walking thing down, that falling doesnt even phase him! Go Ty! (Here is a quick video)


3.)He is starting to put many more objects with words! He knows what I am saying with many simple phrases! So I decided to point out different body parts and tell him the names! I was surprised how fast he caught on! In just a few days he learned; belly button, mouth, and just new today...eyes! (here is a quick video from my phone! Sorry its Dark!)


4.) Tyson loves animals, especially Cats! Whenever my Mom babysits him she always takes him outside to find the cats, as they go outside she says "here kitty kitty" Recently Tyson has been pointing at his book or pointing outside saying KKKKey (aka kitty) It is really is one of the cutest things to hear his little voice calling "kitty kitty!" Here is a Video you cant really see much, but you will need to listen close so turn your volume up!


5.) Tyson is growing so fast and so is his hair! So it was time for a haircut! I have trimmed his hair plenty of times with little to no problems! But this time there were problems :) He decided that he just didnt want to hold still for me soooooo... he ended up looking like he took the scissors to his own hair! I decided to take him to the salon to see what they could do for me :) He sat there on my lap like a little angel the whole time while they cut his hair!! I couldnt believe it!! :) but his haircut turned out terrific! He looks so Handsome! This was his First Professional Haircut!


I Love my Sweet Boy so much! I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has blessed and trusted me to raise such a sweet spirit!

Camping

CAMPING!

This weekend Tyson was able to get some time off, so we were able to go camping with Tysons family for a couple of days! We went up to Boulder Park in Oregon, which was about a 3 hr drive! The place we camped was absolutly beautiful so it was worth the drive! During the camping trip my Mother-in-law was proposed to!! On a bridge overlooking a gorgeous waterfall! With the initials WYMM? (Will You Marry Me?) Burnt onto the Bridge!!! We are so happy for both of them! Yay!( for some reason the waterfall is hidden in this picture but it is a lot bigger thatn it looks!)


We spent the two days playing games, hiking, playing charades in front of the camp fire, swimming, horseback riding and relaxing! Lil ty loved being outdoors all day and getting to play in the dirt! We were happy to get away for a lil while but are happy to be back home too!

Smimming in the frezzing water!



Boys will be boys!

Playing cards!


Ty fell asleep on the hike down!

TY'S FIRST STEPS!!!!!

Tyson officially took his first steps yesterday!!! (4 to be exact ;)Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Michael were all there to see it! And it was completly his own idea! We are so proud of him!! It is amazing how far he has come in a year! We love you our sweet little Tyger Man!!! Hooray for YOU!!

Fourth of July Weekend!

Ya Ya I know, Im a lil late on the whole Fourth of July blogging thing,since the 4th
was over a week ago! Things got really busy and i havent really had a chance to take some time out and post a blog about our weekend! But "better late, then never" Right? During the day on the 4th we went to Discovery Park with Bob and Marinas family and barbecued! It was really enjoyable and the weather was perfect! After Tyson got off work on the 4th, We went on a little walk and then came home and decided to light off some fireworks that we had bought!As soon as it begun to get dark our subdivision basically lit up with lights and sounds from all the fireworks lil Ty was amazed by all that was going on and was looking every which way trying to figure out what was going on! Ty loved watching the bright colors from the fire works! But he hated the loud bangs and screeches that they made! Later that night after baby Ty fell asleep we went over to my parents and let of some "big boy" fireworks! At first we were reluctant to go just because it was so late, but in the end we were happy that we went. Tyson had a good time lighting off fireworks! Its funny to see how men can turn in to such kids around the 4th! I guess its just the excitement of getting to "blow things up!" Beats Me???




Also over the fourth of July weekend we floated the Boise River with my Parents, My siblings and some of their friends! We all had a pretty eventful time! Even though the Boise river is supposed to be known for relaxation and not exactly for its rapids, we had a raft deflate, a couple of rafts crash into a log and a tree, and a near death experience; my brothers friend decided to grab onto a hanging branch while floating and it riped her out of her raft she didnt want to let go of the branch because she had asthma and was afraid. So my Dad ended up saving her and the current took them about 50 ft down the river. During that time my brother lost his $200 Oakley Sunglasses and was pretty upset the rest of the trip! Despite our setbacks we did get down the river and did have some time to relax! It all ended well with a yummy bbq! WAITING TO GET PICTURES OF US ACTUALLY FLOATING THE RIVER! I WASNT BRAVE ENOUGH TO BRING MY CAMERA! SO MORE PICS COMING SOON!!!!


ON OUR WAY TO FLOAT THE RIVER

ME AND MY BABY BROTHER!

Overall our 4th of July weekend was really great! I am so thankful for the Country that I live in and all of the Freedoms that I get to enjoy! At times I take for granted all the blessings Heavenly Father has bestowed upon me! What a great time of year to remember these blessings!

Vampire Baby??

Tyson has been teething horribly these past few weeks! He bites on just about anything or ANYONE he can find! We think that it is quite funny how his teeth are coming in! Of course the two bottom ones came in first, and then we were expecting the two top ones to come in next, Nope! The next ones to come were the two vampire teeth!!! Its been a couple weeks now and still no top front teeth! So it leaves us at the conclusion that we have a Lil Vampire baby! And for those of you who read the Twilight Series, here is what Lil Edward Jr. would look like! Enjoy the pictures they should give you a good laugh! WE LOVE U LITTLE TY!
