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.
