*C*H*I*C*A*G*O*

So I can finally announce this on our blog.  Brian told his current employers today and gave them his notice.  We are moving to the Chicago area for the summer.  Brian will work for Apx Alarms and sell their systems!  We are excited, scared, and nervous for this big change in our family.  We know it is the right decision for us this year.  We leave in a little less then 3 weeks but we will be back at the end of August.  Wish us luck!  We will miss all of our friends in Utah!

Busy, busy!

I have been so super busy lately.  Everyday I spend some time on the computer for Super Saturday.  I have been re-creating this birthday folder...

Typing up these lessons for Family Home Evening (I can't take credit for the lessons, I am just typing up what some else did)...

And making this lovely thing...

I am keeping busy but having a lot of fun.  I didn't have a calling in this ward for almost 2 years so this is really fun to do! 

I am also pretty busy trying to finish choreographing all of the dance classes.  I only have 1 left to finish.  Whew!  Good thing because I am starting to run out of ideas.  I HATE that!

Here are some pictures from Tyson's 1st St. Patrick's Day.  The whole family wore green.  I was thinking the whole day how fun it was to see other people wearing green on the same day.  : )

Tyson in his green.  He is a walking machine lately.  He is getting so big.  I know I say this like every post but I can't believe he is going to be 1 years old soon!

Tyson is walking!!!

Apparently while I was teaching ballet some of the staff at the Vibe were helping and watching Ty walk around. He was quite the ham this afternoon! Then this evening I was able to catch him walking around BIG TIME. He has been attempting to walk for about a month and now I would say he is getting real good at it. Today has been the day where it has pretty much been non stop! Watch him go!



Also, don't forget to see the pictures below of him on the swings! We can't believe how big our little guy is! He'll be 1 in less then a month. Where did the time go??

***The Swings***

Our little boy is so grown up.  He loved the swing this evening and couldn't stop smiling.  Look at this cute boy:

Another busy weekend!

Our friends had their baby boy, Dallin, at the end of last week.  We stopped in for a visit at the hospital to see what the cutie looked like.  He is so adorable.  It is funny how easily you forget how small and lightweight they are at the beginning!  Here is the little guy.

Best friends Brian and Joe and NOW Tyson and Dallin!

Right after the hospital I went to Theatre Ballet's performance with Meg!  They did West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet.  The show was great!  I hardly recognized any of the dancers which made me and Meg realize how old we are now!  Going to those performances are so bittersweet.  It makes me want to jump up there and dance on stage but I'm past that part of my life and I have a family.  I didn't get any pictures but just thought I would share...

On Saturday we went to the last BYU basketball game with Brian's brother and sister and their spouses.  Thanks Carina for getting those tickets!  It was so fun.  BYU barely pulled it off and it was close until the very end.  Tyson was up way past his bed time but liked all of the excitement around him.  He was clapping non-stop because everyone else was clapping and cheering.  I must admit I watched Tyson 50% of the time because I couldn't help myself!  We don't have any BYU gear for Ty and his blue shirt was in the dirty clothes.  I was sad I had to dress him in something other than BYU blue!IMG_3276

Visit from the Bohons and the Draper Temple

We had an awesome weekend.  On Friday night the Bohons came to visit and go out to dinner with us.  This was only my third time seeing Adelyn and in two months she has already grown so much.  I forget how small they are though at that age.  Here are some fun pictures of Tyson and Adeyln checking each other out.  Tyson is almost 11 months old and Adeyln 2 months old.

Tyson is putting on some weight (finally).  I know him and Adeyln will be great friends.  I know he is already thinking about dating her when they grow up.  I know that we, as parents, wouldn't mind that at all :)

 

On Saturday afternoon we went to the LDS Draper Temple Open House.  It was BEAUTIFUL!  It is was super crowded but we didn't mind.  Figure if there was anything I would be willing to wait for and love to see a crowd would be for a temple open house.  Every room was stunning.  What a beautiful place it will be to escape from the world and to think of the things that matter most.  I am grateful for my eternal family and for temples that allow such a wonderful thing to be possible.  Here are some pictures from the afternoon.  Tyson fell asleep inside for about 20 minutes.

On the bus to the temple...

After we went through the temple we went to a stake center near by and had cookies and water.  Before we hopped back onto the bus we went out a back door to take a picture of the outside of the temple.  Seriously, this temple is so beautiful one certainly can truly understand that this is the Lord's house!
