I had him lay in his crib for a picture after nap time. I wasn't sure he'd do it but he thought it was really fun and wanted more pictures to be taken of him. See what I mean about being big...we'll just bypass the toddler bed and go straight to a twin size!
I have been busy buying pink. It's been quite fun, I must admit. I've also been trying to get some projects done for her room. We've painted it a really light pink, I got her bumper and crib skirt (down below) before I even knew she was a girl. It was too cheap at Target to pass up so I hid it in our guest room closet behind my wedding dress thinking Scott would never find it. One day he came downstairs asking my why I had girl bedding upstairs. Apparently he was looking for wrapping paper and discovered it. Oops! Luckily we got to keep it and I saved him a bunch of money! I found these little lamps at a garage sale for a steal (My friend helps me bargain). Before, they were this plastic pink see through lamp with Dora around the top of one and cinderella princesses around the other. I took the beads off and spray painted it white and put the beads back on. They'll make perfect little night lights. 
I made this blanket after a pattern that my sister had from a blanket she made for Tyson. Easy and so fun!
We don't have a name yet...can't seem to agree on one as of now. Hopefully in the next 100 days we'll settle on one!
Practicing his Plinko skills for "The Price is Right." We came home with lots of little trinkets to use in his own basket:)
A clown made Tyson a balloon dinosaur which was cute but quickly disassembled at home.
This past weekend we had a spur of the moment visit from my sister who lives in Denver. They were originally planning on going to Utah but with both freeways closed going that direction and already having bags packed, they headed here instead! I'd say we had a pretty fun visit. We colored eggs, had an easter egg hunt, painted my bedroom, went to the park to play and fly kites a couple times, made homemade strawberry jam, and had some Wii tournaments. All in just over 2 days! Here are Kristin's boys and Tyson coloring eggs. Glad we stripped Tyson. He proceeded to throw his first egg into the green causing a big splash and spill. 
He's showing off his work. 
On to the EGG HUNT! The boys had to each find their certain color egg that we hid and it took Tyson only a little while to catch on and go running around with the rest of the boys. He kept yelling "More Eggs!" Scott would just grab some out of his bucket and throw them back in the grass and Tyson would hurry and chase after them. 
Proudly displaying his loot! And look at that green grass! Such a relief to have over the snow...we've been having some really beautiful days of sunshine and good weather!
After Tyson discovered the plastic eggs had candy in them, he went inside and started sucking on the dyed hard boiled egg trying to get some out of there, hence the blue face and hands.
I tried to make Valentine's Day a little fun and gave him some little gifts along with gifts from Grandma Turner (thanks) when he woke up in the morning. He really had no idea why he was getting these things, but he loved the cheap little trinkets and carried them all around for the rest of the day and kept him busy at church
Finally he was happy enough and wanted to say cheese in front of the camera (notice everyone else's cake is already eaten). Our neighbors came over to share cake (and those little sponge balls are still a big hit!)
Once, he got a taste of the frosting off of Scott's finger, he wanted to go in full force and lick the cake. Pretty funny!
One of his main presents this year was a train set. He loved opening presents and especially playing with his new things. 
We've played with his train in the morning...
and at night (after bath). We have a hard time saying goodnight to these trains. That's a look of serious concentration. 
In the morning we went to this community center open gym for younger kids (kind of a free for all with lots of toys all over). And afterwards, I needed to pick up some things for his cake and I caved and let him ride in those stupid carts that are in the shape of cars and are 50 feet long and hard to maneuver through the aisles. It was his birthday after all and he loved it and kept saying he was going fast as he was driving the steering wheel. I hope I didn't start something I'll regret! It turned out to be a pretty fun day and we enjoyed celebrating with our big 
Trying on mom's shoes. Cool dude! 
We are very excited for Tyson to be a big brother! I'm due Sept. 2 (but planning on being induced a week early), so that makes me a little over 12 weeks along!
Tyson had a hard time adjusting to the noise and chaos of a house full of people. So once downstairs, we had to really coax him into the room with his presents in it. Once distracted, he loved it!
If we look tired, its because we are!
Having a little guy around sure makes Christmas so much fun.

Those were the words Tyson cried as we neared Santa the Santa at Scott's work last week. We didn't know quite what to expect because he likes Santa in books and on TV and can Ho-Ho-Ho with the best of them, but as we got close, his grip tightened on me and I knew it wasn't going to be good! He did enjoy the candy cane and had it gone within 10 minutes. Maybe next year Santa, but keep those candy canes coming!
Sitting down right before dinner trying to help Tyson be patient. He wanted nothing to do with his bib so he was stripped down, which turned out to be a good thing!
We hit the Black Friday deals as best we could hitting 5 stores starting at 4:45 and getting done by 9:30. This is me scoring my dual portable DVD player at Target that came in handy on the trip home. 
Besides shopping and eating, we did spend some time at the park. Tyson loved this snow business and would stop and eat some whenever he had the chance. He left the swing set to come over to this snow area and sat there for 15 minutes before his hands became cold and he started to cry. 
Saying Cheese...
Today we reached an all time low. We lined up mom's "stuff."
