Brian’s Birthday and other Hoopla

First off just wanted to show our BIG BOY off!  He loves this train and puts anything he can find in it.  Then he pushes it around the house on his knees for an hour at a time!

I threw Brian a surprise birthday party on July 5th.  I rented out the clubhouse and some friends helped me decorate.  I came up with some story to throw Brian off.  It worked out perfectly.  He was shocked and had lots of fun visiting with his co-workers and playing horse shoes outside after the cake.  Tyson loved the black balloon frosting!

A picture of Brian’s dog bite after a few days and then the next picture is the allergic reaction Brian had to the antibiotic that he took so the bite wouldn’t get infected.  They don’t look as bad as they were in person.  Brian is amazing for still doing his best working after those awful two weeks!!!

and speaking of rain…this is how deep the water was getting into the car after going out to eat with Jenny and Carlos!  Makes me think back to growing up in Texas.  It came down so fast and within 20 minutes it was flooding!

Time to catch up!


I have done alot in the last month. Let me just get straight to the pictures. Above: Tyson this morning in a good mood. The next 3 pictures are of our 4th of July. Brian worked so Tyson and I went to the parade. It was mainly tractors and fire trucks. It was a small town parade but it was still nice. Tyson danced in the street before it started and made a cute face when everything passed. Then we all meet up to eat at the Cheescake Factory. Brian was late because he got bit by a dog and had to go to the ER. He's alright but it was a stressful holiday.







Last week we went to a farm to pick raspberries and strawberries. It was hard work but it was peaceful and the fruit was amazing!









The beach was a blast. Tyson loved every minute of it.




Tyson and his girlfriend, Addison, at the pool.

Tyson is growing like a weed and is so fun! Next post will be Brian's birthday and surprise party!
