Birthday Boy

Tyson turned 6 on the 2nd of December.

 We had a little birthday party for him and some of his friends at our house.  They jumped in the bounce house, ate cake and ice cream and pretty much ran wild in our house.

 A house full of 6-year-old boys is insane!  Props to those who have housefuls of kids.  I don't think I could do it.

 He was so excited about the McDonalds gift card!  Best present ever!!

Tyson is so sweet and such a good boy.  He's the kid I want to squeeze to pieces and I love to lay with him and snuggle.  He's also super ticklish and I love it!  He is so helpful and is so good to jump in and help without being asked.  You could give him a matchbox car and he would be the happiest kid alive.  He is so easy to please.

We love you Tootie!

Tyson's New Smile

He is a brave soul. I would never let Josh near my teeth. EVER!!
I don't do teeth. I had to keep turning my head and was cringing every time Tyson made a peep.

Here he is telling Josh that it hurt!! I don't think Josh believed him.

I had one picture that looked like Josh was choking him. It was pretty funny!

It was a 2 for 1!! We popped it out and the one next to it was loose, we just popped it out too. The tooth fairy brought him $3.00. Which he used to buy his brother and sister treats at Jumping Jacks the next day. What a sweet kid.

Tyson's Graduation

I have so enjoyed getting to work at the Preschool this year! I love, love, love the kids and it's a job I could possibly do forever. They are so cute and fun and while it is a lot of work, I love doing it.
Tyson was a monkey!

What cute monkey he is! Couldn't have picked a better part for this climber!

Tyson with his diploma! Such a proud moment!

Brenden, Corbin and Tyson. The Three Musketeers! Looks like Brenden is honking Tyson's nose!

Me and Tyson!

My friend Amy took most of these bottom pictures. I was busy and Carson, the cute blonde next to Tyson is her kiddo. She got some great shots. They were head butting each other through out the program!

This is where Tyson got embarrassed because they were talking about all of his romances at school this year!

Agian with the head butting.

Doing a dance during the program, but I have no idea which one!

Mom and Dad are so proud of you Tyson and hope you love being able to go to the big boy school next year! We love you!

Baseball Star

I know I'm his mom. And therefore, I am prejudice, but this kid can play.

He can smack the ball clear back to the outfield! The coach's wife, Sharon and I are friends. She told me the other night after practice. "Greg say's Tyson is the team superstar."

Oh, it's so much fun to see him play ball. He's a natural athlete. He doesn't sit and play in the dirt like the rest of his team. I think it's because he knows his mom wouldn't put up with it. I told him, that if you play in the dirt, you sit on the bench. I'm a mean mom. But I think it's important that he learns to be serious about it, even at his age. They all did very well though. It's hard to be 5 and have the attention span that you need to.

He is a superstar in my book!

Tyson Loves Addie

This kid is pretty serious about Addie. He's going to be heartbroke when they grow up and go their separate ways. Here he is holding some flower he picked for her. He was insistent on going to her house to give them to her. I finally got him to settle for taking a picture and sending it to her.

Tyson drew this on the board today at school. If you can't see it, it says Addison and underneath it, Tyson. Then he drew pink hearts around it, because Addie likes the color pink. It's awesome.

65 Degree's and Sunny

I am sorry for all of you who live in the Northern region of Utah! I truly am! Today it was 65 glorious degree's and sunny!! We spent a few hours at the park soaking up the Vitamin D!

Piper and Tyson had a blast playing together. I didn't get one picture of J.D. because he was to busy being too cool and playing with his friends.

Ahh, pretending we are in California at the beach! A pitstop on our way to Disneyland :). I wish :(. Not this year sis!

It was perfect weather for climbing a tree!

My kids love to play in the tunnels. I can get claustrophobicand start to hyperventilate.It also gives me static hair!

Too cute!

Dad should have been a dentist

J.D. lost another tooth tonight. Okay, well he didn't exactly lose it. Josh pulled it out. He has been milking this tooth for about a week now. Today, he was driving Josh crazy by playing with it. So he told him, he was going to pull it when we got home.

J.D. screamed!! He doesn't do blood or pain well, and dad's just aren't as kind as mom's. I've tried pulling the dang tooth out several times this week, but I just can't do it!

Piper was sure intrigued. Tyson and I were both cringing and covering our ears.

Of course, Piper wanted to have a tooth pulled too.

Josh obliged. Look at his face. He was hamming it up for Piper. She thought it was great fun!

Tyson was giggling the whole time. The kids had just ate popcorn, so Josh picked up a little piece and handed it to Tyson. He really thought Josh had pulled out a tooth. He started to laugh when he realized it was popcorn, although for a minute he looked concerned and was touching all of his teeth. It was pretty funny.

Ice Skating in Dixie

St. George has a skating rink! Amazing, I know. For years, we've said what a great idea this would be. It truly is. My Young Women have been raving about it for weeks. It was so much fun. We left Piper at home with Grandma and Grandpa last night and took the boys for Family Home Evening.
My boys were so excited! The anticipation was killing them all day long!

When we first went out, we were slipping and sliding all over the place! In fact, Tyson kept saying that he wanted to go home. Then he told me that he wanted to play hockey and I told him that he couldn't play hockey unless he learned to skate. Then he gave it some serious effort.

Three of my darling Young Women were there and they loved playing with Tyson. Kim, Reagan and Cierra were helping him around the rink.

It was so sweet of the girls to help him out. He wouldn't hold my hand, but he wanted to hold the pretty girls hands! What a stud!

Oh my gosh, it was so much fun!

My boys were so soaked by the time we left. Tyson says he's not going back without snow pants. He hates to be cold.

Me and my cute boy! J.D. did so well. I was so proud of him for keeping at it, even though he kept falling down. He did hit his head once on the ice pretty hard, but he got up and kept going.

Just keep skating, just keep skating!!

Oh my gosh, I love him!

What a big show off! He thinks he needs to be an Olympic speed racer. He kept racing past me and slapping my butt! He tried to hold my hand and I wouldn't because I was afraid that he would drag me much faster than my balance could handle. He kept lapping me! I can skate, just not fast.

It's to bad it's so expensive, because we would go a bunch. It will be a special treat for our family!

Speed Racer

For those of you who don't know, my sweet little Tyson has an obsession with Speed Racer. He wants to grow up and be a race car driver, just like Speed.

A few weeks ago I was at my friend Tiff's house and out front she had this awesome Speed Racer car. I asked her where she got it, and I was telling her that I was going to see if I could find one and asked her to keep her eye open for one, because Tyson would just DIE to have one.

The next week I got a phone call, "Come get the Speed Racer car." My sweet Tiff, totally gave it to me to give to Tyson, because her little girl doesn't drive it and wants to fix the Barbie jeep. I even offered to buy it, but she is so sweet to me. I didn't even realize it was a battery operated one, which just sweetened the deal. Unfortunately, he has only got to drive it the one time, because we got it late on Friday night, and were gone all day Saturday. Of course, Sunday is packed and today it's raining, but it's all charged up and ready to go.

Thanks Tiff! Your the best!
