For Tyson's 3rd birthday this year, we took him to a place called, The Amazing Pizza Machine. It's a pizza buffet with a ton of different arcade games, mini golf...etc. It was quite fun and Tyson took full advantage of the fact that we let him eat junk. Take those two drinks for instance...one is a slurpy and the other fruit punch I think...
He decided it was best to try them together at the same time. Wow.
I brought cupcakes for desset and he loved being sung the Happy Birthday song!
Tyson loves his Uncle Sean (Scott's younger brother) who lives/works out here in Omaha and he brought some fun presents for Tyson.
Tyson enjoyed playing all the games he could and collecting the tickets!
The boys took the game playing seriously. This was in the kiddy section and all it was, was a big goofy horse with huge teeth that you tried to knock down with little balls. You don't quite get that vibe based on the picture.
Camille was a trooper and just happy to be along for the ride. She's sure is pretty easy!
The next morning, on his actually birthday, we opened presents. Here he is getting Candyland....we've played it over and over again.
He got a pillow pet!! He really wanted a bee despite my attempts to get him to pick the dog. I think he likes it!
Camille gave him a little robot to go with his robot dog from potty training.
Dad took him to pick out his very own balloons that morning! He was jealous of the ones I got earlier for my birthday and loved having his very own to knock around.
They were a hit with Camille too!
Fun facts about Tyson:
At his 3 year check up he was 41 1/4 inches tall and weighs 43 lbs. Yowser! He had to get 3 shots in his leg but was really brave and just cried a little. However he did limp around the rest of the day, telling me the doctor hurt his leg.
Recent sayings:
Dad: Tyson, I need a special helper...
Tyson: Mom's a good helper.
Dad: Who are Nephi's brothers?
Tyson: Laman-ade.
(Having a discussion with Tyson about prayer.)
Dad: Tyson you have a Father in Heaven
Tyson: Ohhh....like Hercules??
A little while ago I was upstairs in my room with Camille trying to find a quiet space to feed her and put her to sleep. Sure enough Tyson comes up and starts chatting up a storm. I told him to go downstairs and I'll be there in a minute. He proceeds to walk down and I hear a thud thud thud...and knew he had fallen down the first set of stairs onto the landing. And then I heard a big "Ugghhhh" from him. He comes back up slowly and sighing the whole way. He walks back in saying, "I really hurt" and puts his head on my lap. He sits there quiet for a second and then says, "Ok, I try again!" and walks back out. I about died laughing. He was just so matter-a-fact about it all, that it was too funny.
When he promptly assessed that there were no more eggs to be found, he made his way inside and started eating. It took us awhile to figure out where he went (he was the only kid back inside chilling on the couch).
Easter morning he recieved his basket and was excited about everything. Its easy to please a 3 year old. He was especially thrilled about a dinosaur shirt his grandma gave him that he's worn for bed and daytime for 2 days straight.
And Camille is always happy to be along for ride.
It was fun getting them ready for church in their Easter outfits. The weather was great, one of the better ones we've had all April!
But he did pull out a really cute GQ shot. I loved his little man outfit!
Took awhile to get the best lighting and sibling shot (I'm catching Camille mid-dive off the porch)
But its worth it when you get a good shot like this!
And one like this...(Scott promised a jelly bean for a huge grin) 
Almost a perfect shot with just Camille looking away but that's hard to get on a self-timer. 
We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday together celebrating our Savior's life and are truly grateful for our many blessings. Happy Easter!
With the Birthday Girl! She loved it...of course! :)
My Grandpa Evans and my birthday buddy!
We hit store after store and shopped like we'd never shopped before! Grandma was great to watch the 2 babies while we hit the fitting rooms! (It was fun to put Camille in shorts because it was in the 80's and 90's there...something we have yet to hit here!)
Camille loved Graham..the feeling wasn't quite reciprocated just yet, probably because she mauled him, but I'm sure it will be in a few months. 
Learning to get along! So glad they are only 3 months apart and will be fun cousins later.
Luckily we remembered right before we flew out to get a picture of us all together!
He's coming to tell me what he just did and then it goes downhill from there... 
Here, he's investigating/reading what's on the flag. Hey, its important to know what you are putting to!
And last but not least... he is doing 
It's great that we can get 2 baths done at the same time now! Camille loves the company of her big brother everywhere she goes! 
Enjoying the one day of warm weather and green grass outside...
Happy Birthday Tyson! We sure love your quirky, fun, big personality in our family!
She especially loved all the ruffles.
The kids each had cute little gifts in the morning from us and from Grandma Turner. It's fun to have little holidays like this with kids around. 
Tyson sure loves his baby sister. He likes to crawl up next to her when she is on the floor or just recently loves to give her a bottle. 
She just can't get enough of him! She is the happiest in the morning when he is running around and will just watch him wherever he goes and he loves to make her laugh. During his nap she just isn't the same. 
Glad that they are good friends for now!
