My Brothers Wedding!

San Diego Temple

This past weekend I was able to go to my brother Chris' wedding. He and his beautiful bride Hailey got married in the San Diego temple. The weather was perfect, flowers were everywhere, the sun was shining but it sure made me wish that my little family was with me. I guess that is what it is all about.
It was the first time that I have ever left our boys. It was sure good to know that they were being well taken care of by the best Daddy in the world. They had a whole lot of fun together...going to the zoo, eating hot dogs, playing at playgrounds and eating lots of ice cream! It is always a good day when their Daddy is around.

Tyson's New Trick!

Tyson is much more daring then Marcus was when he was his age. He has already started going down the slide by himself!! He will climb up the stairs and turn his cute little body around and push himself down while I catch him at the bottom. I guess since Marcus isn't scared to do it then he figures he can do it too. He has the cutest smile at the bottom of the slide, I have yet to catch it on camera but I hope to soon.

Getting Ready For Bed

Each night it is the normal routine... get pajama's on, brush teeth, say prayers... but when Daddy is home it is a whole different ball game! This is just a small clip of what life is like when Daddy is home "helping" get the boys ready for bed. I was really impressed with how well Marcus was catching the ball, and each time he didn't he would say "oh, bad throw." Marcus really loves his Dad!

Melting Snowman!

Today we went to playgroup at Kara's. She had such fun activities for the kids. I was way impressed! The first activity was the cute melting snowman, as you can see Marcus loved it!

The second project was a popcorn tree. I think Marcus liked eating the popcorn more than making the tree but he still created some beautiful branches, I was way proud! The last activity was "digging for bugs." The kids dug through chocolate cake crumbled up as dirt (cool whip on top) and underneath there was a bug. Marcus got a grasshopper and thought it was pretty cool but once again liked eating the cake more. Marcus usually could care less about food but he sure loved it today. Tyson had a great time playing with Will's toys. Thanks Kara, they really had a great time!

I'll Show you Ty!

Marcus and Tyson are such good brothers and I think that Tyson is learning so much from Marcus. Tyson is getting pretty good at shooting hoops but I think it is only because of his good big brother Marcus showing the way. Tyson is always wanting to know just what Marcus is doing and then trying to do it himself, it really is so fun to watch them together!
As you can see he hasn't quite got the right hand motion like Marcus but I am sure he will pick up on that soon too!

Just a Little News!

Number 3 is on the way! We are expecting September 18! We are so excited! Marcus is really cute about it too. When we ask him what is in Mom's tummy he quickly replies "a baby" and each time we ask him if it is a boy or a girl, he gets this cute little smile and says "just a baby!" Tyson doesn't quite know what is going on, but I am sure he is wondering why I am getting a little rounder. Little does he know that I am cookin' up a fun little playmate!
