Private

I’ve decided to make this blog private.  I’ve heard too many things lately of people taking pictures and information off of blogs.  For my families safety I’ve just got to do it.  I’ve always wanted to avoid it because I HATE when I have to sign in to see private blogs and because people just don’t check them very often because you can’t tell when they have been updated.  Regardless of the inconveniences I feel it is a necessary move.

Make sure you tell me who you are and I’ll send you an invite.  You’ve got a couple of days to do this.  Love you all and thanks for reading.  I guess it’s just time to make sure only people I know are reading it too : )

Cornbelly’s and the Zoo

On the 9th my brother and his wife invited me to go to Cornbelly’s with them.  Tyson had a blast and I had a blast watching Ty.  Brian couldn’t go because he was in school so it was the perfect thing to get Ty and me out of the house on a Saturday!  Here are some pictures!!

His favorite part was this wooden train.  I think he went back to it 3 times.  I basically had to carry him out of that area so we could do other things.

I couldn’t believe that my son climbed up this netting.  I thought for sure he’d get stuck, scared or hurt.  Nope!  He did awesome!

Oh how I love this picture.  He’s in heaven.  Taking a picture and “driving” a tractor.  Tyson is so into that stuff right now : )

So if you live in Utah and you’ve never been to Cornbelly’s…GO!  It is super fun.  It wore me and Tyson out big time.  It is kinda pricey but sometimes you just have to spend that kind of money every now and then.  I think stuff like this is what makes life even more joyful : )  I mean really, look at Tyson’s face in all of my pictures.

Here’s a picture of me at 22 weeks.  People have been asking to see a picture.  Whatever.  I feel so much larger than this picture shows.  Lame.

This last weekend Brian, Tyson and I spent the night at my brother’s house.  It was Max’s 3rd birthday!  Still can’t believe he’s 3.  Anyway, we had tons of fun!  Saturday we decided to head to the zoo.  Brian said he hadn’t been to a zoo in probably 15 years.  I thought I took so many pictures there but I guess I didn’t.  Here are some of what I did get that actually worked. : )  Tyson loved every bit of it.  My favorite was the giraffes.  I always feel bad because I never really like going to the zoo.  I don’t know what it is.  Perhaps it’s the smell or that I pay money to watch an animal lay there.  But Tyson liked it and you just have to go to a zoo sometimes, right?  (I just realized that my journaling isn’t very upbeat.  I promise I am really happy right now.  Things are fantastic in our lives right now.  I’m just kinda of uncomfortable being pregnant and I’m not the biggest zoo fan! Haha!)

So I had to bribe Tyson to take a picture by the elephants with a starburst.  I suppose I didn’t take the picture fast enough.

Some weird porcupine.  He didn’t want a picture here either.  I promise he really had a good time at the zoo.

Ah, here we go.  Super cute Tyson on the cheetahs or leopards or lions.  I’m not sure what they are.

Sittin’ with the Ape.  He kept saying “cheese” here.  It was pretty adorable.

I couldn’t believe how close they could get to the giraffe.

Tyson’s favorite part was…guess.  Take a wild guess.  You’ll probably get it right….

P.S. I think this is a fantastic picture of my husband.  He’s such a hottie!

Here is one totally random picture but I took it to remind me of something he said that was really, really fun about a month ago.

Here’s the story.  I was on the computer, which is right behind our kitchen table.  Tyson was eating yogurt (he calls it mo-gurt).  I turned around in my chair to check on him and he had yogurt all over his face, hand and up his arm.  I believe it was even in his hair.  When Tyson was little I would have expected such a mess but he’s pretty good now.  So I asked him why he was covered in yogurt and why it was all over his arm and hand.  He looked at me like, “Come on mom, how could you not know why,” and straight up said “Cuz I put my hand in the mo-gurt!”  Yeah, that’s our Ty Guy!
