He's not a baby anymore...

Everyone tells you that one day you will look at your child and realize "Oh my goodness! He isn't a baby anymore!" and we have reached that day. I know he is just a few months shy of 2 so in the big picture he is still a "baby" but wow he has turned into such a little man. 

He just has the most precious personality and I love how much he is talking. My favorite thing right now is how almost every morning while he is watching cartoons he will come find me and say "Mommy…blanket…cuddle Tyler". I mean how can that not melt your heart! He is most definitely a WILD man but I love all of the sweet and quirky things he is doing right now.

He is saying some of the funniest/sweetest things right now and I don't want to forget them so I am recording them here. This is more for me to remember so bare with me :).

Brian was telling Tyler goodbye before heading to work and Tyler said "Daddy sit on the couch." Brian and I both looked at each other and started laughing. He just put together a real sentence! Then he pointed out Brian's coffee because Daddy always leaves the house with a cup of coffee.

Brian has been teaching Tyler our "real names". Today I was sitting at the kitchen table and Tyler was running around looking for me saying "Mommy? Tay Tay? Mommy?".  Now when we are out running errands he will refer to me as "Mommy Tay Tay". 

Today were were eating lunch as I drove us home hoping to make it home before he fell asleep. I asked if he wanted more chicken nuggets and he said "No thank you". I of course responded with a huge "Thank you so much for saying it so nicely!" and to that Tyler responded "Tyler obey". Haha! Then 2 minutes later I look back and see this. Oh well :)

Tyler, we love you so much and love watching you grow in such a sweet little boy!

 

Easter 2014

It had been a long time since we had made the trip to my parents house in Temple so we decided to spend Easter there this year. Saturday we spent the day hanging out around my parents house, hunting Easter eggs, eating, and spending time with family. Everyone was there….Kali, Lance, Tanner, Hadley, Grant, Mallory, Me, Brian, and Tyler (plus my parents). We had a full house! Tyler was having issues with his allergies which means he started wheezing again so we was on a few steroids, breathing treatments, and medicine for an ear infection so Saturday was a little rough for us. Lets just say the steroids + being out of our normal routine = mommy almost lost it a few times. :) Regardless of the crazy, Tyler loved being with Tanner, Grammy and iPop. He woke up every morning saying "Go see Tanner!" Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Attempting to make "egg shaped" pancakes.

Confetti eggs were a hit!

Tyler was obsessed with riding this bike. 

My dad took him out to ride it in his footed pjs and brought him back inside with huge holes in the toes of his pjs. Now we just need to grow a little to reach the peddles! 

Hanging out (aka "making sure my child doesn't do something to Tanner") in their "secret playroom" under the stairs. Poor Tanner was not doing so well with his allergies! No bluebonnets for him :(

Resurrection rolls

I am so thankful that we could spend the weekend with family! Most importantly I am thankful for my relationship with the Lord. Easter is so important because by Christ's death and resurrection he has shown that nothing, not even death, can overcome his love. He is risen!
