Time for an update

Since I am on a shared computer in the hotel in Indiana I don't feel like uploading pictures of my family. When we get to the other area in a week I can post some pictures (but there aren't many anyway). Brian gets to spend the morning with the family and then he is pretty much gone from 11:30 am to 10:00 pm 6 days a week. We are so proud of him and his determination to excel at another aspect in his life. He always does his best at everything and I know he'll do great at this. The selling season offically starts tomorrow. He has spend the last week and two days doing his best and trying to learn all he can in the "pre-season". I clean, watch TV, talk to some friends, do laundry, go grocery shopping (which I am learning to do by myself instead of with Brian), make dinner and play with Tyson. I can tell by the end of the day that Tyson can't figure out why in the world his mother is still watching him up until bed time. He is use to me being gone a few hours at night to teach dance. (Which I miss by the way...) He has done well though adjusting to the time change and all. He loves being around these littles kids here. He's had a few falls, bumps, bruises, scratches and some oozing blood which is new for me. Hard to believe that little baby of mine is really more of a TODDLER now then a BABY. Where did the time go? Anyway, hopefully in a week I will have more to post. Wish us luck. Lots of love!

1st Birthday Party and Easter

Hey everyone!  This will most likely be the last post I make in Utah before we leave for Chicago.  We leave really early Wednesday morning.  The last few days have been jam packed and very fun.  My mother flew in Wednesday evening and nothing has been calm sense.  Yesterday we had Tyson's 1st birthday party with family and some friends.  It was also a way for us to see lots of the people we love before we leave.  Thank you everyone that was able to come and support us and shower Tyson with love and gifts.  He was a bit overwhelmed with opening the presents and getting cleaned up after eating his cake but overall it was a fun party to plan and he loved all the attention.  It was a train theme which turned out really cute I think.  Get ready for LOTS of pictures...

 

Tyson's cake from Costco was amazing!  All I did was take in a napkin and they pretty much copied it exactly!  : )

Getting sung to... Really likes the cake now... Happy boy!

     

Also, Happy Easter everyone!  It is nice to spend today with my family before we leave.  Wish you were here Dad (Tyson also wishes his Grandpa was here too)!

Our little 1 year old

 

 

Happy Birthday TYSON!!!  We can't believe our little Ty Guy is 1 years old today.  We took him to Kiddie Kandids yesterday because I had a coupon for a free 8x10.  Overall, I am glad I didn't pay anything.  Because I had the coupon they took like 5 pictures of Tyson (which I was a little disappointed in.  Perhaps if they had take some more pictures I would have bought some.  Oh well...their loss).  We picked the first one (him sitting on the log) for our free 8x10.  I will probably go back but only when I have my free 8x10 again.  I have a nice Canon Rebel camera but I thought it would be fun to go somewhere nice for his 1 year picture.  We aren't really celebrating his birthday today.  We are having a fun Train theme party for him Saturday.  I thought it would be fun to make a little list about Tyson.

*He says Momma and Dadda

*He thinks everything is a phone and says "hello" but it isn't really clear when he says it

*He loves balls!

*He is a walking pro

*He loves to clap and dance (dancing consists of him bouncing his knees and smiling)

*He loves watching other kids play

*He knows what "NO" means and doesn't like it when Brian or I say it to him

*He sleeps like an angel

We love our little guy.  Here are some flash back pictures from when Tyson was a day and a few days old.
