So much has happened the last month...

Alright, I am ready to update this thing.  So much has happened it is ridiculous.  I have some great pictures to share.  I will first start by letting you know how it went with letting Tyson cry himself to sleep.  The first night was horrible!  He cried for about 3 hours then fell asleep.  He woke up about 2 times during the night and cried more.  I was a wreck the next day.  I was so emotionally exhausted I couldn't stop crying myself.  I want everyone to know that I have eaten my words.  I told myself I would not be some over emotional crazy mom who won't let her child cry for an hour.  Um,  I was EXACTLY that.  The next few days were hard as well but it got easier each night.  Now were are to the point where sometimes he doesn't even cry.  A new milestone for Tyson is that he now rolls around like CRAZY.  He is so strong.  He has been doing it for a few weeks and is getting really good at it.  I will now write about SYTYCD.  I really wanted Chelsie to win but she didn't even make it to the finals.  Oh well, my next choice was probably Katee but I wasn't sad that Joshua won.  For a hip hop dancer to do as well as he did in every style I can say that he deserved to win.  He seemed to be a nice guy with a good personality and that is important for the viewers.  I thought about going to the show from their tour but decided that maybe I was a little too old for that kind of thing.  Maybe not and I might regret that I decided to not go.  Oh well, I think saving some money is important for our family right now anyway.   Next topic of choice: the Olympics.  I got so sleep deprived!  I hated how everything went so late.  I couldn't help myself b/c I kept saying this was a once in a life chance to watch it.  That is when I really wished we had DVR.  I loved the gymnastics.  I love Nastia!  She is like a ballerina gymnast!  I was happy the way most of everything turned out except for the uneven bar finals.  I don't care that they tied but come on shouldn't they both get a GOLD medal?  Geeze!  What a load of crap.  Next topic: John's wedding.  On 8/8/08 Brian's youngest brother got married!  It was a great day spent with family and friends.  The temple was great and the reception as well.  The weather was bad for awhile but let up just in time for the reception that was planned for the backyard.  I took my nice camera and as I turned it on the low battery signal flashed on and one minute later it died.  I was completely upset b/c I wasn't able to take ANY picture at the temple.  I did however recharge the battery for the reception.  Here are some of the picture I took. : )

I really liked taking pictures of the things that didn't really move : )

Alright the following day we went up Spanish Fork canyon to spend a day with Brian's family at their property.  It rained for awhile and got really cold.  All and all it was fun!  We hung out, talked, shot some guns and hit some golf balls!  This was Ty's first time at the property.

Me shooting!  Don't worry, I was being very serious.  I promise!

Aunt Wendy was kind enough to watch Tyson while we shot some guns!

Tyson is now awake from his nap.  I need to get him and I should end this post b/c it will be too big to load if I don't quit.  Don't worry, I am no where near done talking about the month of August.  Stay tuned...
