The Milne Family

Scary

2011-08-02T20:05:00.000-07:00

Mainly I am writing this so that I remember. On Sunday we were at my Grandparents house and Zach was playing with the lid to a water bottle (something I let him do quite often but watch him very closely) well my brother was holding him and I was watching and he stuck the whole thing in his mouth. I immediately ran over and grabbed him and put him over my arm and beat on his back. Then I put my finger in his mouth to do a finger sweep and retrieved the lid. I ended up scratching the back of his throat but at that point I didn't care I was just glad that the lid was out. He was shaken up and his throat hurt but I was just glad that he was ok. I know that Heavenly Father was there to keep me calm because it was like I knew exactly what to do and to not freak out while doing it. I will admit I did scream for my mom at first but then I just did what I knew I had to. I feel so blessed and so lucky to have the spirit with me to keep me calm and to help me with my little boy. Needless to say he will NOT be playing with lids anymore. I Love you Zach.

Well I don't have any pictures ot post at this time but I wanted to write a little about what is going on in our lives.
About 1 weeks ago we found out our lives were going to change again. That is right we are expecting baby number 3! this was one of those unexpected pregnancy's and I am still feeling a little overwhelmed when I think about having 3 kids almost under 3 since Tyson will turn 3 in October and this baby is due the middle of December. I do however feel very blessed to be able to be pregnant and have these sweet little children come into our family.
This pregnancy has been a little like my others. I have been quite sick for the first about 15 weeks and I am stil feeling a little nauseous although I think I am finally over the throwing up part of the pregnancy now that it has been 10 days since I last threw up Yeah!! Another thing that has been different with this pregnancy is that I can't drink milk. With both Tyson and Zach I would drink a glass of strawberry milk at night before bed and it would seem to help but with this one there is no relief and it actualy made me feel worse. other than the sickness pregnancy has been going well. I am showing sooner with this one than the 1st two but that is ok. I was also a bit more tired with this one but that could also be the fact that I have been chasing around 2 other little ones at home.
Both Tyson and Zach are doing well. Zach is getting so big and is starting to pull himself up on everything. He said one of his first words on SUnday which was Dog and on Monday he said Cow. He has been blabbing a lot and also says Dada Baba and Lala. A few months ago we found out that he has a syndrome called Short Femur Syndroem where his femur bone in his right leg is not growing properly so when he gets older (like 8-10) he will have to have surgery to lengthen his leg. I am a little relieved that is what it is and not something worse. For now he will wear corrective shoes and deal with the difference. He is a lot of fun but has learned how to get what he wants. He will scream until he gets it or if his brother is bugging him
Tyson is loving being a big brother although right now he is in a hitting mode and we are trying to teach him right from wrong and that he needs to be nice to his brother. He is getting so big and is just completing swimming lesons which he loved. He loves to talk and explain things and when he doesn't know what a word is he will say I don't know the word for that. He loves to count things and can count to about 13-15. He loves to play with friends and loves nursery. He loves to golf, play ball, and be with his grandparents (all of them). He loves horses right now and has asked Grandpa Jeff to let him ride a horse.
All in all we are doing well and loving the new adventures that life is giving us.

Tyson Birthday

2010-11-03T10:17:00.000-07:00

So it was Tyson's birthday while we were in Disneyland on the 30th of October. I can't believe that he is already 2. It seams like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital. He is so much fun now. He loves to play outside, color, use playdoe, loves to golf, and to throw a ball, he loves his little brother, he also loves dinosaurs and horses right now. He is such a good little boy and such a great talker. He can carry on a conversation and knows over 350 words. It is funny because I can remember thinking when is he going to say mommy and now that is all I hear and sometimes I wish he couldn't say it but I love him for it too. He is growing up so fast and is being potty trained right now which is going pretty well. He makes me laugh and I love his little smile. I also love that he still wants to cuddle with his mom. He is so friendly and loves to make new friends with kids. Tyson we love you and are so glad that you are in our family.

Disneyland 2010

2010-11-03T10:03:00.001-07:00

We also went to Disneyland over Halloween with Mike's dad and sisters. We had so much fun. Tyson loved it. He loved meeting all of the characters, especially Sully from Monster's Inc. He was so excited to see him and was not afraid of him at all he just ran up and gave him a hug. We were also lucky and got to see Mickey and Goofy. He loved all of the rides we went on except the Haunted Mansion he wasn't too sure about that. Zach also loved Disneyland. He liked to look at all of the bright lights and loved the music. It was fun to let the kids wear their costumes down there, Tyson was a dinosaur and Zach was a monkey. They were both so cute. We also celebrated Tyson's birthday. He is so cute and loved being sung Happy Birthday to him, I think that we sang it about 6 times both with my parents and with Mike's. We had a really great trip, thanks Dean and Donna for the fun time.

San Diego

2010-11-03T09:24:00.000-07:00

Ok I know it has been awhile but here are a few pictures of our trip to San Diego with my parents and grandparents back in September. We had such a blast. It was a pretty relaxing trip with not a lot of things planned just hanging out and not having to go, go, go. Tyson loved going to Sea World and watching the whales and sea lions jump. I think I heard that and still hear it sometimes now he will say whale jumps in the pool or sea lions jumps in the pool. It was fun to see him get so excited. We also went to a San Diego Padres game while we were down there and that was a lot of fun. Tyson kept saying ball goes in the sky. Zach was pretty good the whole trip and didn't mind being hauled around everywhere we went. Thanks mom and dad and grandma and grandpa for a fun trip.

Baby Zachary Lee Milne

2010-08-23T19:04:00.000-07:00

Well this is a few weeks overdue but here it is. Zachary Lee Milne came into our family on 8/9/10 at 2:11p.m. The delivery went well and wasn't as long as Tyson's was. We went in at 7:30 to get induced and he was here at 2:11 after starting the pitocin at 9. He weighed 5 lbs. 9 oz. and was 19 inches long. He looks different than Tyson. He has dark hair and we will have to wait and see what color his eyes are, they look darker than Tyson's though. He looks a lot like Mike which is fun.

He is already a pretty good sleeper. I get up to nurse him twice during the night but he sleeps the whole time in between so I get about 6-7 hours of sleep a night. Having 2 kids is fun but it is a little bit of a challenge. Tyson loves his little brother and is always wanting to hold him or give him kisses. He is also always concerned about him and asking where the baby is. The other day we had went to the store and came home and he didn't see me carry Zach in and he thought I left him in the car. He kept saying mom Zach in car. I had to bring him over and show him Zach was in the house. He is going to be a great big brother and I look forward to seeing how they interact and grow up together.

Neil and Meg's Wedding

2010-08-08T06:13:00.001-07:00

Here are some pictures of my brothers wedding that we went to in July. It took place at the top of Snow Basin ski resort. I am so glad that I was able to go, especially since I was 36 weeks pregnant. We had a really great time up in Utah seeing all of our family and friends.

The top picture is of Tyson asleep. He never just falls asleep anywhere so it was funny to find him lying on the floor while my mom and I were getting ready.

Wedding Day and a New BED

2010-05-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

This last week we bought Tyson an toddler bed. He has been doing ok at sleeping in it. We usually have to sit in the room with him until he falls asleep but then most nights he has been sleeping through the night. There have been a few nights he comes in in the middle of the night and wakes me up. I guess it is just the joys of him getting older. I kinda miss him being in the crib where he couldn't get out so he just rolled over and fell asleep. I just hope it gets easier as time goes on.

These are all pictures from my brother Nick's wedding. They got married on Friday the 7th and we are so happy for them and glad that Brooke is now officially part of the family. (especially since the have been dating for like 9 years). Congrats you guys we love you.

Bonnie Springs and Park

2010-04-29T13:04:00.000-07:00

These Pictures are from a few weeks ago. I know I have been bad about posting. My parents came down just for a visit and so we took Tyson to do a few fun things with them.

Sorry these are kinda out of order

We spend a few hours one day out at Bonnie Springs. It is this little petting zoo and has quite a few animals to look at. This is Tyson and my mom looking at the ponies. Tyson calls them horses but he loved the little ones. We also saw a big horse but these little ponies were his favorite.

Tyson and I are sitting by the turtle and duck pond. He loved this part. He also enjoyed watching the chickens, I think it is because they were so loud that they kept getting his attention. He didn't like the llama or the deer being so close to him walking around though.

We also took Tyson to the park one day and he wasn't quite sure about the swing. He didn't stay in it very long but he loved being outside.

Here is him going down the slide which he did love. He also loved the fact that he got to see some bugs crawling on the ground. I think he could have stayed there even longer and watched the lady bug and a bee (yes he likes bee's) move around on the ground.

Here is just one last picture of him with the ducks. He loved feeding them the little duck food they had there.

2010-04-01T16:45:00.000-07:00

Here is me at 18 weeks pregnant. I am now just over 20 weeks.

Tyson and grandpa reading. Tyson loves his grandpa. When they had to leave he just kept crying and saying "PaPa" over and over. Which made mom and the rest of us cry too.

Here is Tyson and Grandma in the tent outside.

Tyson helped me blow the candles out on my birthday cake last week. Yes there are 27 candles on there so it is very bright.

And last but not least Tyson getting caught in the golf net out back. He kept getting his toes stuck and he would tell me "stuck, stuck"

Disneyland!!!

2010-01-13T10:16:00.000-08:00

Well we took Tyson to Disneyland last week with Mike's family. I have to admit I wasn't sure how it was going to go and wondered if he would even like it. Well much to my surprise he loved it. He enjoyed walking around and looking at everything. He also enjoyed all of the rides. He didn't cry or get scared on any of them even the one's in the dark like Pirates. All in all it was a very fun and good trip and I am really glad that we went.

Christmas Time

2010-01-05T09:00:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pictures from Christmas. We had a really great Christmas this year that seemed to last forever. We started out on Christmas eve going over to Mike's dad's house to open presents and for some fun. Then we headed over to his mom's for dinner and just to hang out. Then next morning we woke up and opened Christmas at our house. Tyson loved the trike, blocks, and pop-up game that we got him. We then headed to the airport to go and spend some time with my family up in Utah. We opened Christmas at my grandparents that night and then at my parents house the next morning. It was quite a long Christmas time but a lot of fun. We really enjoyed spending time with family and are now just trying to get the house back to normal with all of the Christmas stuff taken down. Thanks everyone for a great year.

2009-12-07T14:13:00.000-08:00

Here are just some Christmas Pictures. I know I haven't put some up for awhile so here are a few of the family. Tyson is getting so big and is learning new things everyday. He now can open the doors in the house and can say quite a few words. It is fun to see him grow and learn everyday.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-01T16:27:00.000-08:00

Tyson as you can tell was a skeleton this year for Halloween. We didn't take him trick or treating except to his Grandpa Milne's house but we did take him to dinner in it. He was so cute.

1st Birthday!!

2009-11-01T16:14:00.000-08:00

Well I can't believe that it has been a year since we had our little Tyson. He is growing up so much and it is so fun. On Friday we had his birthday party. My parents, grandparents, brothers and their fiance's came down for it along with Mike's family coming over. It was so much fun. We had Cafe Rio style food for dinner and then came the presents and cake. Tyson loved opening presents and he actually did really well I thought. He also loved his cake. At first he started by just putting a finger in it and then a little more and a little more until it was everywhere. I loved watching him do this.

I am so thankful to have Tyson in our family and have really enjoyed all of the last year of changes. I can't wait to see what he does next and how he grows. We love you Tyson.

FAMILY PICTURES 2009

2009-10-01T14:48:00.001-07:00

Here are our family pictures that we got taken the other day. I think they turned out great. I love the cute pictures of Tyson.

California 2009

2009-09-27T19:47:00.000-07:00

The pictures are from our trip that we just took down to California. Mike had a conference down there so Tyson and I went to the Zoo one day. He loved looking at all of the animals and being outside. That night we ran by the mall to get Mike a new phone ( his broke) and Tyson fell and hit his head on the corner of one of the displays and cut it open pretty good. He didn't need stitches but it was a bleeder. The next day Tyson and I just hung out at the mall until Mike was done. Then we headed down to the beach and enjoyed a little time playing in the sand and putting our feet in the water. Tyson wasn't too sure about either of these things but he liked being held and watching everything.

California 2009

2009-09-27T19:32:00.000-07:00

Walking all over the place!!

2009-09-20T19:28:00.001-07:00

Well now we have our hands full Tyson loves to walk all over and get into everything. It is fun to watch him learn these new things though. Here is a new video of him walking all over the place.

Enjoy!! ( I know it looks like we never put pants on our kid but he loves to take them off when you are changing him and he doesn't like you to put them back on)

Shark Reef and Eating

2009-09-01T10:12:00.001-07:00

When My parents were down a few weeks ago we took Tyson to the Shark Reef. He liked looking at all of the animals and loved to watch the fish swim around. He is getting so big and so much fun to take to places like this because he is actually more interested in them.

The bottom picture is of him eating some waffles the other day. He just kept stuffing them in his mouth( I guess that means he likes them). He loves to feed himself now and is becoming so independent. He is also enjoying walking around more, everyday he goes a little farther.

I also thought that I would add this picture of our fist nephew Eli. Congrat to Pete and Erica. We can't wait until he is older and Tyson and him can play.

2009-08-15T12:52:00.000-07:00

Walking!!

2009-08-15T12:46:00.000-07:00

9 Months

2009-08-11T11:12:00.000-07:00

Well Tyson is now 9 months old (actually he is almost 9 1/2 months old) I am a little late posting. Here are a few pictures of him. I am waiting for my sister in law to email me some pictures and a video of him taking some of his first steps. Yes that is right he is walking a little bit. I can't believe he is growing up so fast but it is fun to see him grow.

4th of July Weekend

2009-07-08T15:15:00.000-07:00

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We went up to Mike's families cabin in Cedar city and enjoyed the cool weather. On Saturday we took Tyson down to the parade. He didn't like the fire trucks because of the loud sirens. After they were over though he watched the rest and then took a little nap. That afternoon we went up to Mike's grandparents cabin and had dutch oven food and took a walk down by the little stream. It was fun, but Tyson was really tired and so by about 6:15 he was in bed. We did get to watch the fireworks they had in town because we could see them from the cabin. All in all it was a good weekend and we really enjoyed getting away.

Oh yeah one new thing Tyson can do is on Tuesday morning I went into his room to get him and found him standing by the side of the crib, he did this after both of his naps too. Mike has now lowered the mattress down so that he can't acidentally climb out.

All Boy

2009-06-30T07:27:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures of Tyson over the last few weeks. He is loving getting in the pool and going swimming. All he wants to do is kick and splash when he is in there. He also loves to eat. Almost everything I give him he eats with no problem at all. I hope this doesn't change, I really don't want a picky eater.

He is also all ready for church in his white shirt and tie. My mom came down this weekend and we made this little tie for him, I think it turned out so cute. I just love him looking like a little man.

In the last picture is his car. Mike bought this for him and he loves it. At first he didn't like the wheel because it turns so that is why the blanket it is over it, but now he doesn't mind it and will actually grab onto it. He is growing up so much and we are enjoying every minute with him. He now scoots all over the floor and loves to walk if you hold his hands

SCOOTING!!

2009-06-09T08:30:00.000-07:00

I usually put Tyson on the floor in the mornings with toys around him. Well this is what happened this morning when I did this.

Yep he has finally started to scoot around on the floor. This is so exciting although I am sure eventually I will want those days back when he would just sit in one place but for now it is fun and exciting.

Random

2009-06-05T14:30:00.000-07:00

Well here are just some random pictures of Tyson. I realized I haven't put any pic's of him up in over a month so I figured I would put a few.

This is Tyson watching Mike and I plant some of the plants in our back yard. He really loves to be outside. In fact if he is every fussy I will take him outside and he is immediatly happy which is nice.

This video is of Tyson pulling himself up using a golf club and Mike holding onto it. He thinks he is bigger than he is and can't wait to start walking. That is all he wants to do is grab Mike or I's hands and walk around the house.

Taylor Swift

2009-05-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

For Mother's Day Mike gave me tickets to go and see Taylor Swift. The concert was on Saturday night and it was so much fun. My mom came down and and watched Tyson while we went out. It was our first full night out with someone else putting Tyson to bed and it was great. I really enjoyed getting out of the house for a night so THANKS MOM for coming and letting us get out.

The concert started with a band called Gloriana which I had never heard of but was pretty good. Next Kelly Pickler came out and performed and did really well. I really like the songs that she sings. Then Taylor Swift came out and put on a really good show. The whole concert lasted 3 1/2 hrs which I think is pretty long, most of the other concerts I have been too haven't been that long. There was also a point when she came out in the audience and sang and took pictures with people which I thought was really cool. Thanks honey for the tickets and a great night out with you!!

6 months where does time go

2009-05-01T10:55:00.000-07:00

The last 6 months have sure changed our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way. We love having Tyson in our family and can't wait to see him grown and change. Here are a few of his stats for 6 months.

Height: 26 1/2 inches (75%)

Weight: 15 lbs 10 oz (10%)
Head: 43 cm (25-50%)

He is now sitting up really well by himself and loves to talk and talk. He tries to scoot but hasn't quite gotten there yet, I know it won't be too long so I am loving that he isn't mobile quite yet. He sleeps almost all through the night with only waking up for 1 feeding. He is loving eating new vegetables and will look forward to fruits soon. So far he is eating squash, peas, and carrots. I think his favorite right now is carrots probably because they are sweeter than the others but mom makes him eat them all.

And now for some pictures:

Happy Birthday!!

2009-04-28T17:04:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my Husband. He is the best husband ever. I couldn't ask for anyone better. He is always there for me and willing to help out whenever needed. He helps take care of the house and also helps with laundry and dinner when I am at work. I feel so lucky to have him as a husband. He is also a great dad to Tyson and I am so glad that they get time to spend together during the week while I am at work.

Thanks Honey for all that you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Swimming

2009-04-20T22:02:00.000-07:00

Tonight we took Tyson in the pool for the first time. He absolutely loved it. All he wanted to do was splash and kick. I think it is going to be quite a fun summer with him and the pool. I also just signed us up for swimming lessons so that should be a fun thing too.

Easter Weekend

2009-04-18T19:49:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went up to visit my parents in Utah. We had so much fun and my mom's flowers were so pretty we had to get a picture of us by them. Tyson is in his new easter outfit.

I love this picture of him and you can see his 2 little teeth that have came in. I hope everyone had a happy easter.

5 Months Already

2009-04-02T10:28:00.000-07:00

So Tyson is 5 months old now. I can't believe how

fast time goes by. My mom and dad came down

this weekend and it was so nice to have them here.

My mom and I took a bunch of pictures of Tyson and here is just a few

I really liked.

His great-grandma and grandpa bought him this high-chair. He love it, and it is nice to have him in it at the table instead of trying to hold him or put him in his bumbo.

He is getting so big. We weighed him the other day and he weight about 15 lbs 4 oz. He is also sitting up by himself more and more. And I can say we finally get a good nights rest. Most of the time he will sleep about 9 hrs wake up to eat and then go back down for about 3 more. It is awsome. I feel like a new person with getting so much rest.

Laughing

2009-03-17T12:07:00.000-07:00

Here is a little video of Tyson laughing the other day. I am so glad that we caught it on camera. I love his little laugh and he is starting to do it more and more all of the time. I can't believe how fast time has gone by and that he is 4 1/2 months old.

Our new bed

2009-03-17T11:54:00.000-07:00

So Mike and I decided for our anniversary this year that we were going to buy a new mattress. We debated over buying a Queen to fit our bed or upgrading to a King size. Well after much debate we decided to go with the king and that we would just get a new bedroom set eventually. So for now we were just going to go without a headboard.

We then went out shopping for a new bedspread. Much to our suprise we found one we liked at JCPenny for 75% off. This was great. They also had an idea of making a headboard out of the valence. We decided that this sounded like a pretty good idea so we went to get all of the stuff for the headboard. We also changed our minds about using the valence and went with just getting some new material. It was actually a fun little project and I think it turned out quite well. We both love our new bed and loved being creative together. Thanks honey for the help.

Hanging out with Dad

2009-03-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

Mike takes care of Tyson about 3 times a week while I go to work. He tries to keep him very entertained so that he won't get too fussy. So here are a few pictures of him while Dad was in charge.

He is going to be a piano player. At least I hope that he will take lessons.

Tyson is getting so big. He is now 4 months old and has become quite smiley. He is doing really well at rolling over and smiling and laughing all of the time. He still isn't sleeping that well, only about 5hrs at night but I guess it will come. It doesn't help that he is teething.

This is the new hat that Grandma Susan bought him. He looks so cute in it although it is a little big.

Cereal and playing outside

2009-02-26T13:12:00.001-08:00

I took Tyson out in our backyard today because it was such nice weather. He was so cute and loved it. I am excited for the spring and summer when we can be out there more.

We gave Tyson his first cereal on Friday because he was acting so hungry all of the time. He likes the cereal but he takes it better from me then he does for Mike. Now he isn't sleeping well so we are going to try without it for a few days and see what happens. I was really enjoying having him sleep for 6-8 hrs at a time and now this waking up every 3 hrs is hard to go back to. Not to mention that he doesn't like sleeping in his crib at night but I guess we will take it one step at a time.

Sleeping

2009-02-10T11:00:00.000-08:00

Today I had put Tyson down for a nap and he was just watching his moble when I left him and he had his binkie in his mouth. I went back 5 min later and this is what I found.
He doesn't suck his thumb too often so I thought it was so cute. He also has liked taking a nap with a stuffed animal next to him to keep him company. He looks so sweet in this picture I love it.

Hair Cut

2009-02-03T08:53:00.000-08:00

The other day I had put gel in Tyson's hair because it was getting so long and was starting to curl. I thought it was really cute all curly but Mike decided that Tyson being the little BOY he is needed a more manly hair due and to loose the curls. So after much persuasion he convinced me to let him cut his hair. That night (Saturday) we put him in his tub and Mike trimmed the top of his hair so instead of having curls he now has the spike do when we put gel in it or it just lays flat when we don't.
I have to admit it is pretty cute and looks more like a little boy do. I did save his curls that we cut off though and I am so glad that I got a few pictures of him with them in case they don't come back or Mike just keeps it short enough all of the time.

Before- Cute little curls everywhere

During- he looks a little worried about what we are doing to him at this point. But he sat there the whole time and didn't move. (Good idea Dad for putting him in the tub during the process.)

After- Our little Man

3 MONTHS OLD!!!

2009-01-31T12:15:00.000-08:00

Tyson turned 3 months old yesterday. Here are some pictures of him. And we have decided that he has some pretty curly hair when it is long and gelled up. He is growning up so much. He is interacting a ton and just enjoying life (most of the time). I am just loving being a mom and seeing all of the changes that happen to him on a daily basis.

Playing

2009-01-22T18:09:00.001-08:00

As you can tell from the pictures Tyson is staring to play with things now. He is finally reaching out and actually grabing onto different toys. He sat in this play center for about 30 min just looking at things and grabbing things. It is so much fun to watch him change and do new things.

At The Park

2009-01-22T18:05:00.001-08:00

Last Friday Tyson and I went with some friends to the park so that their kids could play. It was a lot of fun to get out of the house and Tyson enjoyed being outside and looking around.

Tyson around the house

On Our bed is one of Tyson's favorite places to lay.

Here is Tyson Chewing on his hands, he is starting to teeth and his hands are the only thing available because he doesn't hold things yet

This is Tyson's new toy, he likes it for about 10 minutes or so and is then ready to do something else.

Christmas

2008-12-28T12:04:00.001-08:00

Well here are some pictures of us from Christmas. We went up to Utah for Christmas and came back on Christmas day. It was nice to visit my family and it was fun to have snow for Christmas

This is Tyson and Me on Christmas morning at our house.

Tyson on Santa's lap he was tired and didn't like it too much.

From left to right top to bottom Laura, Susan, Shirley, Bob, and of course Tyson. This is my mom's side of the family

Us outside my Grandparents house I love all of the snow.

Baby Pictures

2008-12-19T17:17:00.000-08:00

So this weekend I finally went and got Tyson's baby pictures done. I know he is 7 weeks old and I am a little slow but we got them done and I think they turned out so cute. I love this little guy. He is growing up so fast. He has started smiling more and more. Mike was coming to meet us in Utah yesterday and I told Tyson that he was coming and he just got the biggest smile on his face. It was so cute.

He does have some big feet and long toes.

Here are a few pictures of Tyson from this weekend.

This is him just before church, doesn't he look so grown-up.

These two are both of him outside while Mike and I were hanging up the Christmas Lights.

Thanksgiving Weekend

2008-12-03T19:35:00.000-08:00

We had quite the weekend. On Thanksgiving we had both of our families over here for dinner. Thanks Mom and Grandma for cooking. It was a lot of fun. I think Tyson liked all of the attention. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. My favorite is the one in the swing where he is smiling.

Just like his Mommy

2008-11-25T18:43:00.001-08:00

So tonight Tyson was sleeping on our bed and I caught him sucking his tongue just like I do. I have seen him do it a few times before but this time I actually caught it with the camera.

Getting Out

2008-11-20T18:20:00.000-08:00

So this week I have finally ventured out of the house by myself a little bit with Tyson. It has been good. We went to the grocery store and yesterday 2 of my friends and I went to lunch. Thanks Mel and Jackie for getting me out. Tonight we are going out to see the Twilight movie. It has been fun to get out of the house a little bit and it is actually quite easy because Tyson just sleeps most of the time.

I thought I would put a few updated pictures of Tyson because now he is 3 weeks old. He changes daily it seems and we are enjoying every minute of it.

2 Weeks Old

2008-11-13T11:02:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that it has been 2 weeks since Tyson was born. He is doing so well and growing everyday. We love watching him change. He is sleeping pretty well about 3 hrs at a time at night which isn't too bad. During the day he likes to stay awake a little and look around at everything. We love him so much and can't imagine life without him.

This is him getting out of the bath last
night he likes it until he has to get out and it is cold.

Growing every day

2008-11-04T10:50:00.000-08:00

I feel like Tyson is growing so fast. He is already starting to lift his head a lot. My parents said I did this too. If I am holding him on my chest all he wants to do is lift his head and look around. Especially now that his eyes aren't swollen and he has them wide open a lot of the time. He is a pretty good baby. I just love watching him change and grow everyday.

WELCOME TYSON CRAIG!!!!

2008-11-01T14:30:00.000-07:00

Well as most have heard by now we had our baby boy. He was born on Thursday October 30, 2008 at 12:34pm after about 15 hrs of labor. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 20 inch long. We are so excited to have him here. Everything went very well with labor and delivery. I didn't know I could love something so much. Everyone tells you that and you think you know that when you are pregnant, but the moment they put him on my stomach everything changed.

We are so excited to have him home and are loving and enjoying every minute with him. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

Ready

2008-10-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

Only 3 weeks left until my due date and I think I am ready. I have everything in the nursery set up, I have my house clean, I have the babies clothes washed, and I have my bag packed. Now we are just waiting to see when he will arrive.
I am excited to see what he is going to look like and to hold him in my arms. I am a little scared about the labor and delivery part but I know that it will be worth it when he is finally here. So for now we will just keep waiting and let you know when our little guy has arrived.

Baby Shower Weekend

2008-10-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we had my baby shower down here in Vegas. My sister-in-law's went all out on the decorations and we had such a fun time. I think now I have everything that I need for Tyson. I think I have more clothes for him then he will every be able to wear. It is fun though to get everything ready and to be prepared.

My mom also flew down for the shower and to help me get the nursery ready. I am so glad that she was here, she is such a good help and I feel like we got a lot done. Here are a few pictures of the room. I still need to get some pictures for the wall but at least I have all of the basics there.

New Ward

2008-09-21T13:26:00.000-07:00

Well last night our ward got split. We are now in a new ward called the Laurel Hills ward. It is going to be a new and exciting experience. I am excited to meet new people but I am sad to be seeing a lot of our ward leave. It won't be the same when we don't see people at church every week.
Now the anticipation comes of what callings we may get. I know the Lord won't give us anything we can't handle though so i am excited.

The Beginning

2008-09-18T08:27:00.000-07:00

Here is the start of our blog so that we can keep in touch and let everyone see our lives change
