Great year, Great December!

This Year has been wonderful, we had a great December! A few events were our 2 year anniversery, Tyler is 5 months and eating real food, and of course Christmas. We went to Utah, which was fun for me to see my family, and a few friends from High School, well, everything is going well! We're looking forward to 2009! Happy New Year!
Here's the good looking Christmas Pajamas we got from the Coats (-: Stylin' eh?

Ty's first Christmas...he ate the paper.

Eating real food has been a really messy new adventure!

Here's the big difference of 5 months--a little size comparison!

Here is my 5 month little big boy, wow, it would really hurt to double and half your body weight in 5 months!

Our 2 year anniversery! It's been the best 2 years, Luke is a wonderful husband, and I love him now more than ever, he's my best friend.

It's a Wonderful life (-:

Hey there, everything has going well here! We went to the great state of Oregon for Thanksgiving, that was neat! I finished some online nursing classes this week, and have been making Christmas gifts, it's so fun to make gifts, it gets me into the Christmas spirit (-: Well, Luke and Tyler are both doing great, they are my two favorite men/boys in the world (-: I love them so much.
Here's our Thanksgiving...

My favorite part of Thanksgiving (-: Luke's aunt Regina is an amazing cook!

Oregon Coast is beautiful to drive down and see! Luke's favorite part was the mossy trees (-:

Tyler checking out the Coast

Tyler's first time in a swimming pool, the next Michael Phelps right?

Male bonding time, three 4 month old babies in... the kitchen sink (-: Ty was really happy to share his bath time.

So, how do you keep a 4 month old entertained in a carseat for 11 hours both ways? Well, introduce new toys every time he wakes up, listen to high school musical 3, a binki, and pray...

Luke and I went to Utah last week to a Jazz game against the Phoenix Suns, it was so much fun, and we sat behind the visitor's bench, those men are HUGE.

That's right... I took this picture (from my really good 5th row seat) It's Shaq... I guess most people should know that... (-:

I'm sure there are other mothers who can relate...

Wow, ok I know I talk a lot about Tyler, ok it's pretty much the only thing on this blog now, but the last few weeks I really have been thinking about what my baby means to me. He has definitely changed my life and emotions. I cry during Operation Smile commercials, I can't look at pictures of starving children in Africa, whenever I see children being bad in the store I think my children are never going to be like that (ya right), I'm already wondering what he's going to be when he grows up-could he support a family? I have dreams about Tyler getting hurt and I have to go check on him, for some reason I don't mind Tyler's spit up, snot, or diapers at all... Infact it's cute to me (-:, and I can't look at him without kissing his chunky little cheeks.
I guess the main thing is my realization of the love of mothers and fathers, what a blessing it is to have this sweet child in our home, Tyler always makes us laugh, he is our happy thought, he is so fun for us. I love the feeling that he needs me and loves me, I just am so grateful for this perfect, fun little boy. (yes, I know someday he'll be a notty child, and then a dis-obedient teenager), but for now, being a mother is absolutely wonderful, and I just am so happy he is mine.

3 Months!!

Well... all is going well with us! Luke and I are doing great, I love being the mom of this little guy, he makes life so fun, I started to work one night a week at the hospital to keep up the nursing skills, and I'm working on some online classes to further my degree (-: Luke is doing well at work, he's doing some yard projects, and is a great papa to Ty (trying to teach him to crawl and catch...) I thought I'd say a little about what's going on with us, since we mostly... ok, always post about Tyler, we'll keep up with that. He's just a lot cuter than us. Ty is officially 3 months, here's what's new: He's makes a pretty cute pea pod for Halloween! (-: He's a 14 1/2 pound bundle of love! He thinks cribs are for babies He's a super baby! He loves to eat his Hand

Oh, the many faces of Tyler...

Here's our little guy. He's starting to be so much fun, we love him so much!

Getting better...

Welcome October!

Here is Tydaho Potato, it's Harvest in ID, and this is a BIG spud!

Here is our family pumpkin...who does it remind you of?

At the pumpkin patch with papa.

hmmm... which pumpkin would you choose?

Tyler and I got the best package in the mail! 5 pairs of Nike Shoes, 3 bibs, and a Nike hat. From my friend Mallorie in AZ, Tyler thanks Mallorie, we Love them!!

Ok, this is the sad, aweful, december blizzard weather we got this weekend... It is October still isn't it?

Some new things about little TyTy...

He's a happy smily boy now! Especially in the morning, and when he's fed.

He's good at going out on the go with mom and dad. And cars are very relaxing (-:, He slept 3 hours to UT, and 3 hours back last weekend (-:

He's not quite into the Circus yet... We went to Barnum and Baily Circus with my family, and Ty would much rather listen to "mary had a little lamb" and take a nap.

He likes going to UT and being carried around by Dad

He likes being carried in the laundry basket.

He's good at doing laundry with mom too.

He really likes watching his mobile.

This one's for you Jake

The big 2 MONTHS!!!

Hello, my name is Tyler, I am now 2 months old, I weigh 11 1/2 pounds, I am 23 inches long, so... I've pretty much doubled my weight, it kinda hurts to grow that fast, but I'm still smiling. Here are some of my new favorite things to do:

I'm really good at being good looking.

I really like to swing on my swing, can you tell I am smiling?

My mom tells me I am an eating machine.

I'm good at watching Baby Einstein, mom wants me to be an intellectual.

I am really good at sleeping...anywhere.

I love to stare at the fan, especially when it's on.

I like to take baths when my diaper doesn't work.

I like to hold on to things, especially mom's hair.
