Happy Birthday Tyson!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tyson!!!!
What a big kid....my how time flies!!
Tyson is the funniest kid we could ask for! It is amazing how smart he is. He surprises me everyday! I love his crazy personality (although it makes me really tired) it is fun to watch him and play with him! His favorite things to do are to jump on the couch, run, play superhero, scream, and talk your ear off. Anyone he meets is instantly his friend (old and young alike!) I sure love this kid!
Funny thing from today! We told him it was his birthday and that he is 3 now. But we aren't doing his party until Sunday. So he told us he isn't 3 yet he has to wait until his party! :)


The day Tyson was born!


Tyson looking at his Mom and Dad thinking "what did I get myself into with these crazy people!"


Our little Family!


So handsome for his blessing!


I was scared, but we did it! Tyson is potty trained! We did it the first week of November and it went surprisingly well! I do have to admit that I was ready to give up on the second day. I cried, and told Brandon we couldn't have any more kids after Lily because I couldn't potty train more than two kids! (I am not very patient and I wanted him to be perfect by day two! I know that is not realistic!) By day three, he was amazing! No accidents! Told me when he had to go! It was awesome! This picture is of Tyson's potty chart. He got to put a sticker on his potty chart every time he went pee then we did a potty dance and sang the potty song (one that Tyson and I made up)! When he pooped, he got to pick a prize out of the poop bag! It worked out great! I am so proud of him! Poor Lily made it through the potty training really well!
I funny story... Tyson's Nana took him to the Library and lunch one day and she asked him if he needed to go potty. Tyson so matter of fact told her "there is no pee in my wiener!" What a funny kid! Then at lunch Nana ate Tyson's fries (he doesn't eat fries, who's kid is he...?) and he had his grilled cheese. Nana asked him if she could have a bite of his sandwich and he told her..(After you eat two bites of fries!) Can you tell what he have been doing during meals!

This is our superhero Tyson sneaking food! We had cinnamon rolls for dessert one night and while I was sitting with Lily and Brandon was upstairs, Tyson became really quite, we later found him behind the bar with a stolen cinnamon roll! What a funny kid!


Tyson is such an amazing big brother! He loves his baby sister so much! He loves to sing and dance for her and give her tickles!
WE LOVE YOU TYSON!

Our Lily is 1 month old!

I can't believe it has already been a month! Lily is such a good baby! She is just starting to be awake more often. Tyson loves it! He always asks to see Lily's eyes open, then he tells her to watch him. He is so cute with her. A funny thing about Lily is she likes to cover her face when she is napping. (don't worry, there is still breathing room, and I constantly check on her.) She has even pulled her headband over her eyes before, and that has stopped her fussing! It is fun to see these little personalities at such a young age!
HAPPY ONE MONTH LILY!






Halloween

Halloween Eve we carved our pumpkins (we successfully planted and picked from our garden :))

Tyson was so careful to get every seed out of his pumpkin! He drew the face on his pumpkin and Brandon carved it for him. On the other two pumpkins I let him draw on them with a marker! He did such a good job! I am amazed at what he can do for such a little person!

Tyson proudly showing his pumpkin! Here is the whole fam with our excellent pumpkins! (Can you tell which one is Brandons? ;))

This haloween Tyson was Mike Wazouski(sp?) from Monsters Inc. and Lily was our little fish!



This was so cute I couldn't resist. I love when new babies curl up into such little balls!


Here is the kiss...... Tyson got Nana spack on the lips!

This pic is blurry, but I thought it was funny! Brandon the fisherman with his catch! I was Boo from Monsters Inc. (in her pj's) with Mike Wazouski!
Our favorite part about Trick or Treating was some people would let the kids pick their own candy, well one house told the kids they could pick two candies, my neice Chesney carefully picked two peices, then along came Tyson and he took a whole handful. Brandon asked him as they walked away if he only took two peices and Tyson said, "No, I took a handful!" His tone was..Duh Dad, why would I only take two, there was plenty of candy! It was hilarious! Tyson would also tell people Thank You when he got his candy, the only problem was he would yell it louder and louder until they said Your Welcome! We are so good at teaching Tyson good manners;)!

Tyson thought it was funny to wear my Boo wig! Doesn't he make such a cute girl!

Here are some pics of some of my family! Jaycie giving a big cheeser! Tiff and Tom as vampires, and Mom (a witch) with Frank!
It was such a fun Halloween!
