One overheated weekend!

The weekend of the 12th we went to my sister's house up by Ogden . It has turned into tradition around the fourth of July to go swimming at the Roy pool and have a family BBQ afterwards.We were getting ready to leave and we packed clothes to change into after swimming. I had put my clothes on our bed while I was getting ready.Tyson loves to play on our bed, so while we were getting ready Brandon and I all of a sudden heard Tyson laughing. We then saw this.... It was hilarious! It still amazes me what kids pickup on. I always get dressed in the bathroom with the door locked, but obviously there must have been a time that I didn't have a shirt on yet!?! :)
Well, we got up to my sisters house and made our way to the Roy pool. This pool is awesome, very kid friendly. Tyson loved it!! Then we BBQ'd and played for awhile.
The city Ange and Cam used to live in was having a carnival, so we decided to play there for a little bit before heading home. Tyson thought it was the greatest! There was music playing and he would shake his little tush and do a little break dancing!
He got to ride on a couple rides with his cousin Chesney! (Thanks Ange and Cam!) He thought he really needed to steer the motorcycle!
Brandon showed his skills by winning 2 goldfish for our niece and nephew! Way to go B!!
On the boat ride Tyson broke all the rules. He stood up during the ride, and he was constantly touching the water. Crazy kid! Well to end the night we started on our ride home and Tyson kept telling us what a fun day he had and then he finally fell asleep. We were almost home from our hour drive and Tyson started fussing and moving around a little. I thought he was just uncomfortable when all of the sudden puke everywhere! It was so sad. So 11:00 at night I was bathing Tyson while Brandon was cleaning the car. Tyson was sick for the next day and a half. The cute thing about it was that he had no idea what was going on when he would puke, so each time he did he would say "I spilled Mom" and be so sad. He then figured out when it was coming on so he would tell us "I don't want to choke!" He was such a trooper!

Tyson never falls asleep on the couch. He only sleeps in his bed and occasionally in the car. So when I found him asleep on the couch I knew he wasn't feeling well! (Sorry about the gross puke story!) It was an awesome day until the very end!

4th of July weekend

Our 4th of July weekend was a lot of fun! One thing that made it so much fun was Tyson and the funny little things he says... On Friday we went running in the morning and when we got back we decided to go to good old Home Depot for home improvement stuff. So we changed our shirts to be a little less stinky and Brandon happened to put on a shirt with a soccer ball on it...
Tyson: Dad, did you play soccer?
Brandon: Yes I did!
Tyson: I am so proud of you Dad!!

Sometimes 2yr olds surprise me at what they pick up on!
So later that day we took Tyson to the Orem pool. What a great pool for little kids. It was awesome, he would jump into the water, float on Brandon's back and splash and splash. Thank goodness for swimming lessons, last year it took us a good 30 minutes for him to get use to playing in the water! This year he didn't want us to leave!



These pictures of Tyson at the pool are when we were ready to leave. When we first got to the pool we asked him if he wanted to play in this area and he said that it was for babies, but when it was time to leave he thought it was the greatest!

That night we bought some fireworks. Brandon and I have never been firework people since we have been married, so this was Tyson's first year doing fireworks. We got home from dinner around 7:30 and our neighbors were doing their fireworks so we decided to join them in the daylight. Tyson loved the fireworks. Then we did sparklers. He thought they were pretty cool until he grabbed the top when the sparkler went out. That was the end of sparklers for him!

Saturday we went running again, but because I am getting bigger and slower I have to stop before Brandon is done running. Luckily we have a retention pond behind our neighborhood that has a running path around it, so I can stop and walk while Brandon continues with as many laps as his heart desires. Well, Brandon was on his last lap so I started walking toward our neighborhood. They started to catch up to me and I hear a little voice... "Run Mommy Run" I didn't answer so he said "I said, Run Mom Run" they passed me and Tyson still encouraging me said "Come on Mom, Run!" He is so cute.
Tyson and I then left Brandon to paint our living room and we went to my mom's house. We had a great time. Tyson swam and then we "lelaxed and watched a ovie" (relaxed and a movie).

Sunday we went to Brandon's parents house after church for dinner. Tyson played harder than I think he has ever played before without stopping. During dinner he was even running around the table. He played real hard with his Papa!


Our future camera man!

We were driving home and noticed that we hadn't heard from Tyson for awhile and this is what we found! He had fallen asleep almost as soon as we left because he played so hard. He sleeps like his Dad, tongue out and all! It was awesome because he slept the next morning until 9:00 (heaven!) We later talked to Papa and he had a hard time waking up to go to work the next morning because Tyson had worn him out too! It was a great weekend!
