Tylermania

June fun! Ketchup time... lol

2011-06-03T23:42:00.000-07:00

Rolling the big ball at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle!

Why is it my mom lets me be loud here and not at home with her pots and pans?? Hmmm...

Going shopping at "Mommy's store"

There is no explanation for this except I am cool and I am here to prove it!

Tyler finally realizing that he does NOT like ice cream and momma realizing that he only got the ice cream for the gum balls IN the ice cream!

Our Adventures

2011-04-10T00:35:00.000-07:00

Ty ty on the horse outside the XXX Root Beer Restraunt in Issaquah, Wa...
We go there every once in a while, as you can see ty ty has a gum ball in his mouth, he gets one any chance he can....

Ty ty showing off his muscles at our favorite little Cougar Mountain Zoo.... He gets to run around the zoo mostly on his own, his favorite thing to do is feed the animals cut up apples.

When I was little going to a mall was boring, yes there was stores there with stuff you could buy but there was nothing else besides that.... Now kids can go to the mall and ride on a carousel or play in the play area, jump on the"jumping bean"... it amazes me!

We have enjoyed the indoor activities but we hopped on the chance to go to the park when there was sunshine ( the wind was still so cold!). Ty ty had a blast playing, we only lasted about 20 minutes tops.... We will see what the month of April brings us!

What does three days in a row of McD's turn a three year old into???

2011-03-04T18:15:00.000-08:00

"Mommmmm.... I want to go to Old MacDonald today!!!"

"Oh, you do?"

"Yes Mom"

Oh, OK"

"Mom can we go?"

"Not today"

Drama tears crying upset little boy in his booster......
a few minutes later

"Mom I really want to go to Old Mac Donald"

"Ok on a different day"

"Ok Mom"

This conversation happens almost the same way every time.....and ends the same way too.

Who's getting too big?

2011-02-06T23:54:00.000-08:00

And who gave him permission? I guess its getting to be so fun. Ty's been officially potty trained for a while now. Its nice to have conversation more than one word sentences. I love this little guy. He is surrounded by his girl cousins, his only biological boy cousin is in Arizona, and yet he is still SUCH a boy. Never ashamed to admit he farted. Yes he knows that word.... I always thought I would have the child who said the right thing at the right time.... Yes he knows how to embarrass me and make me laugh at the same time!
In this time of trial right now I am so lucky that I get to be at home with him and play with him and teach him and see how much he is learning... He is also so compassionate and kind. He asks about his Nama Nancy and her knee and he asks me how my owie is.... He wants to know where his cousins are, he is very social kids at church. He has been introduced to Chuck E Cheese, he loves Calliou, Super Readers, Cars, Toy Story 1 and 3 (Toy Story 2 is too scary for him).

Fun Fun Fun

2011-01-18T21:52:00.000-08:00

Ty loves to do dishes..and steal my yogurt...hahaha caught him in the act

blue boy

2011-01-11T17:12:00.000-08:00

Ty ty loves his blue cotton candy
he ate it and then we saw the aftermath....

A random goofy face of his.... love that boy :)

NW Trek

2011-01-02T13:29:00.001-08:00

Tyler with LJ and Mr C at NW trek..... They loved the snow sometimes more than the animals.

On the tram to see the animals.

MOOSE. I love the snow scenery.

The snow blanketed everything so beautifully.

This is a lake/ large pond that we saw while we were on the tram. We had so much fun seeing everything.

Christmas Fun

2010-12-31T14:24:00.000-08:00

Jules and Ty laying down on the stairs

Painting ornaments

Christmas Morning!!! We had to wake him up of course...

There was much negotiation for this picture to be taken......

Ty was so excited to make ornaments that we got more. He loved putting the glue on and then sprinkling the ornaments with glitter, and everything else......

I do have to say that this year has been the most fun with him. He has been so excited to be apart of all the Christmas Hoopla........ Lets see what will happen next year....

One thing that he learned, taught himself, is that Santa is only for candy canes and Santa Claus is a totally different person.

Santa Train

2010-12-31T14:17:00.000-08:00

Ty and Little Miss with Santa

Giving Momma kisses waiting for the train

Watching for the train to come

Realizing how loud it would be

Rachel and Daryl invited us to go on the Santa Train in Chehalis, Wa this year. It was SO much fun. Nama Diane came with us and we all enjoyed watching Ty and Little Miss!

RaNdOm pics

2010-11-23T16:44:00.000-08:00

Still likes the baskets

Playing with his cars

Crashed out in his cuteness

Putting on his clothes ALL BY HISSELF :)

No random post would be complete without a picture of Ty ty's mouth. He will tell us..."Take a picture of my mouth"

First Snow 2010

2010-11-23T16:36:00.000-08:00

I just noticed in this picture I caught Ty ty actually in the air.

I do NOT let Ty ty go on the trampoline when it is wet. He was ECSTATIC that I let him jump in the snow.

The snow fell all day at my sisters house. Tyler LOVED being with his cousins in the snow!!!

This is the crew. They played and played and played. Nap time was non-existant. Didn't you know the snow cancels the nap time? That was new to me!! Beezus is getting at Ty ty's glove in this picture....she likes to play with them in the house and its a challenge to keep them away from her.

Applesauce

2010-11-06T08:12:00.000-07:00

If anyone knows me, they know I love my grandmothers applesauce. I made over 30 jars this year and I have taught a number of people how to make it recently too. Including Ty ty. He loved peeling the apples and he wanted to know what was going on when the apples were cooking and then only got to watch as I took care of the jars and the water bath part. The one thing he loved to do was the peeling, so I let him peel as much as he wanted, and eat the peels too.

Pacific Science Center

2010-10-31T10:26:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the fun Karl, Daryl, the little ones and Grandma Diane had at the Science Center.

Pumpkin Patch Fun!!

2010-10-23T08:17:00.000-07:00

This is just some of the crew that went with us to the pumpkin patch. I loved watching the kids soak up everything around them and then run for more.

Oh no....He is starting early.

Cousins and best buds.

The coveted lawn mower on top of a huge pile of saw dust. The kids loved riding the little cars down the pile too...but it was hard for one of them to not have the lawn mower... :)

Ty ty is alittle over 3 feet tall now...I have NO idea where he gets his height from...

Recent happenings

2010-10-03T10:50:00.000-07:00

Ty ty at the fair...trying to hide himself.

Ty ty on the girls first day of school. He wanted his picture taken too!

This his kind of chair!
Ty turns three on Oct 24...I can't believe it!
Time goes by too fast.

Loves to Sing

2010-09-28T23:20:00.001-07:00

Ty Ty loves to sing from Mommy's CD's and now Daddy's CD too....Except the CD helikes that belongs to Daddy is White and Nerdy by Weird Al.....What I love about this is, he is listening to the lyrics and blurting out to me "Mom!!!!!!! Daddy's CD just said underwear!!!" and then he lets out this Belly laugh...the next few minutes of him singing the song the best he can and then he hears "soldering gun" but he only recognizes gun so then I hear "MOM!!!!! He said gun....WE don't play with GUNS Mommy!!!" It is very serious!! I acknowledge the conversation and he is off in his world again!

Fun at the Fair

2010-09-16T17:01:00.000-07:00

We weren't supposed to touch the horses, but the horses owner was right there and let Ty Ty pet the horse

Thats my kind of dog!

Jules and Ty Ty going for a ride!

The three musketeers.
We ate, we played.
We found the animals.
We bought bird whistles for $1.00...thats all we spent.
Best of all, we got in free!

Goofin'

2010-09-09T11:03:00.000-07:00

Hanging out....with the look from my big boy

Ty Ty was trying on old clothes. This was given to me by an old co-worker. Then you can also see the scooby doo tank top under the Dr Pooper onesie...What a goof.

Fun August Times

2010-09-04T10:10:00.000-07:00

Thank you to Sunny for taking out to the wild!

"Take a picture of my mouth Mom!"

On the "train" at Northwest Trek.

Ty Ty's crazy cousin Fried Egg Sandwich was SOO excited to go to the golden arches, that she climbed in the spot she wanted!

Courtesy of Sunny and company, we got to go to a tour of a fire station...Tyler was in HEAVEN!! His favorite part was actually getting in the truck. What a fun summer we had!!!!

Tylers New Bike!!

2010-08-01T10:54:00.000-07:00

Tyler got a new bike from Nama Diane.

He was ready to go off on his own. He wasn't scared or nervous about riding his bike. I was alittle sad that he is getting so big.

Thank you Nama Diane for the bike....He would live on his bike if he had the chance.

All his cousins

2010-07-03T16:05:00.000-07:00

Tyler had a rare oppurtunity to see all his cousins at the movies. We took a 1 year old, 2 2 1/2 year olds, a 4 year old, 5 year old, 8 year old, 9 year old and an 11 year old to see How to Train a Dragon. Eight kids, 6 adults......FUN FUN FUN!!!!

Things to do

2010-06-26T20:05:00.001-07:00

Tyler and his boys...so cute!!!!

LJ and Ty Ty telling some inside joke....we adults just don't understand.

Ty in his new Buzz PJ's....Buzz CAN fly.

Ty playing at McD's....all by himself

Ty and Daddy after cake and chocolate milk......Ty is getting to be so fun, not like he wasn't before but he is talking so clearly now. I love my little man!

Fun at the Park

2010-05-22T22:01:00.000-07:00

Chasing after his truck

Pushing his truck through the "sandal".

Looking for rocks in the "sandal"

This is my most favorite picture of that night.... We went to the park with Nama Diane, so we brought his scoops and truck and shovels.... This boy was in HEAVEN!!!! He loved it and even if you tried he will still tell you its not sand its "sandal" and he loves it. I love my boys and they are my world!!!!

My money boy

2010-05-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

This is Tyler's piggy bank

This is how he get the monies.....from mommy and daddy's stash of change

He loves to play with the money... Now we hope he doesn't decide to eat it or at least put any in his mouth!

Our Saturday Night

2010-05-09T10:09:00.000-07:00

Tyler writing his name on the etch-a-sketch

Tyler doing his hair

Momma doing his hair

Playing legos with daddy

The funniest thing, he was terrified of the vacuum when he was younger. Now he helps push it and he feels better about it.
I love being a mom. He makes it worth it!

By popular Demand!!!

2010-05-02T12:32:00.001-07:00

Crashed out at Nama and Poppi's house

Love riding bikes!!!

Always the entertainer.

Going for a ride..please ignore the mess behind us.

What is wrong with this picture?

2010-03-25T06:17:00.001-07:00

WHY NOW?
Why when you would keep me up till 2 am and you would not take it?
Why when you were teething and this would have made you feel so much better?
Oh yeah, Momma didn't want to break you of it....
He just plays with it now.....gotta hide them before he gets attached!

The Sweater

2010-03-25T06:11:00.000-07:00

Tyler got this sweater when he was born from his Auntie. There is another outfit he got too but he LOVES this sweater. We put it on yesterday morning and when we got to school, he did not want to take it off...that was ok, it was still early. I saw him later in the morning and one set of teachers said he did not want to take it off, when he visited the other classroom, the other set of teachers said he didn't want to take it off either. When we got him home last night the only time he took it off was when we offered him a bath....so funny boy!

Dr Pooper

2010-03-22T05:59:00.001-07:00

Tyler was given this onesie when he was born, from a co-worker, and the size for it is 2 T. I was so excited when I found it again and was able to take pictures. What a cute boy.
He is so big now and talking so much! He is in full swing of potty training and this weekend he only had three accidents..... It was a great weekend for him. He gets a sucker if he poops in the toilet and the other night he pooped like three or four times and after the first one I let him have a sucker, then I realized that I needed something smaller to give him after that, so he gets a gummy bear the second time and any more times after that. It is working great.

My Shirt

2010-03-01T20:30:00.000-08:00

Tyler just got out of the tub and he was running around in his underwear. We heard him messing around, now that he an open doors we have to be more careful as to what he is doing and he came out of our room wearing one of my shirts on his head. He said that he got dressed all by himself. What a big boy.

Chef Tyler called to duty

2010-02-20T08:51:00.000-08:00

Tyler trying out his new mask..... its not a strainer, he will help you figure out ho to use it!

We've also got our helmet on to protect the noggin. Ty has figured out that there is more to play with in the kitchen other than the spatulas and brooms.

Tyler got clocked

2010-02-20T08:39:00.000-08:00

Tyler got a goose egg when he was about on years old and it was a pretty bad bump on the right side of his forehead.

Now he's got one to match the other side.... This time he didn't fall, he got clocked in the head by another child with a toy.

Poor Ty Ty

Ty Ty at work

2010-01-31T11:04:00.000-08:00

Tyler is so much fun. This is a picture of my boss Trina, Ty's first love, working very hard. Every day when we go to school and when we go home he has to stop by the office and see the girls, mostly Trina. He is getting so big and talking so much. He likes to play with his daddy on the xbox and he likes to cook with mommy.
In other news. Tyler is on his way to being potty trained. He is doing fantastic and has not had an accident yet in his big boy underwear. We started out with putting him in underwear and putting him on the toilet every 15 minutes and then each time after that we have stretched it more and more. We are so lucky. He is still working on the pooping thing. Baby steps, baby steps.

Happy New Year

2010-01-03T21:34:00.000-08:00

We actually went out this year. The first time since Tyler was born that we went out on New Years Eve. Rhiannon called everyone and set up a party....IT was fun. This is Tyler after staying up all night and this picture was taken at 12:30am. Thank you Rhiannon, we need to get together more!

Christmas 2009

2009-12-21T06:35:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hope you all are well.
Have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!

Jules and Ty Ty

2009-12-13T18:53:00.000-08:00

When they stand like this Jules, Tyler's cousin looks bigger and she should be because she is 5 weeks older, but she isstill smaller. What a little cutie she is though. Tyler LOVES playing with her and they even love fighting together too. What is fun about these two is that they laugh so hard at eachother and we all have no idea what it is that is so funny.

Hanging out at Debbie's

2009-12-07T21:38:00.000-08:00

Ty has apparently figured out how to drive. I am alittle concerned that he will ask me for the keys and want to go play at all his friends houses. What am I going to do? He is not even potty trained and he is this smart!

Ty playing around!

2009-12-07T21:32:00.000-08:00

This air hockey table is in the school age room at my work. Tyler wanted to go say goodbye to one of the teachers so we went into the class and he found the table and wanted to play. He couldn't quite figure out how he had to use the hand thingie. He just wanted to catch the puck in his hand, which he did many times.

Random pictures

2009-11-16T22:08:00.000-08:00

My Tyler rolled off the bed and he was so tired that he didn't even notice. He was exhausted from hanging out with his cousins. What a cute little man.

This is how you are supposed to wear a swimmers pullup. Tyler has known about it and he now wants to show everyone else in case they were confused.

So I left to go to Sunny's house to pick up something and when I came back to my parents house everyone stopped me at the door and said that they could not believe what happened while I was gone. Tyler decided to attack a box of kleenex. Jules is watching from the side. I was wondering how he could do this with five adults at home at the same time. I leave for 15 minutes and this is how much damage he created.

Tyler's new bike

2009-11-03T21:50:00.001-08:00

Tyler got this new bike for his birthday. He was so excited and it took him a few minutes to realize that he could eat and sleep in it. We eventually had to put it in the car to take it home.

He wanted to just take off and play. It was cold outside and I was ready to go to bed after a long day. My baby boy is two, it is getting so fun with him talking so much!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

2009-10-29T22:13:00.000-07:00

Tyler celebrated his second birthday last Saturday. It was fun to have a good group of kids to hang out with Tyler. Cousins and friends were there to play. Tyler loved the cake that Grandma Diane got.

Tyler and Jules hanging out on the carousel at the mall.

I thought that this was stinkin' cute. Morgan was with us too but I wanted to get a picture of Tyler and Jules holding hands with Rian. Booga of course is marching to the beat of her OWN drum ahead of the others.

Recently I was able to work in the same classroom as Tyler . He didn't care so much because it was on his own turf but we will see what happens in a few months when he is in my class. He will probably not be so happy that he has to share me with all the other kids too. It was nice to see him so independent in his room though. This is also the shirt that one of his auntie's bought him. It fits him and he LOVES it.

2009-10-12T21:30:00.000-07:00

This is too funny. The other day Tyler figured out how to turn his bedroom light on. What he couldn't do was reach the switch once it was up to turn the light off. So he grabbed a roll of cross stitch material and laid it on the floor then stepped on it. Because MAGICALLY it would make him tall enough to reach it. I was laughing so hard. I called Karl over and tried to get Ty to do it again and once he knew that it was funny he wouldn't do it again. The things that Toddlers think of are hilarious!!!!

This is some serious business

2009-10-06T22:50:00.000-07:00

Tyler has discovered pudding. He LOVES it. Mostly because his momma bought it and is cutting herself off of chocolate until October 22. He smeared the pudding everywhere and then I took the cup away from him and this is the look that he gave me.

Julian's 2nd Birthday

2009-10-03T10:18:00.000-07:00

Tyler and momma playing on the tires.

Tyler and daddy playing on the monkey bars.

This was a cool bell chime thing. You just hit the bells and it made the sounds. Tyler loved it.

The big babies waiting for cake.

Julian Mackenzie Davis was born September 15, 2007. Just 6 weeks older than Tyler. She is one talkative little girl and we love her so much. Tyler will be turning 2 later this month. Happy Birthday big girl!

Summer fun

2009-09-12T17:23:00.000-07:00

This is Ty's belly, in case any of you have not been introduced.

Tyler doing his chores, making a mess of the diapers.

Last weekend we went to Seattle on the lightrail. Tyler had fun running around downtown but I think he enjoyed the ride the best.

Tyler and daddy having a man bonding moment. Tyler wasn't so sure at times what to think about the ride but dad was there to calm him down.

Tyler was totally excited about the day. We went to Seattle to go check out the sounders section at the official store. Nothing to exciting but we did score some awesome cheesecake. Thank you again Aunt Rachel. Momma had the red velvet cake cheesecake with cream cheese frosting and dad got an oreo cheesecake. YUMMM.

Tyler wisdom

2009-08-31T20:57:00.000-07:00

Your Uncles sunglasses make you cool. (No autographs please)

When you like something show your enthusiasm. (Clapping and screaming is a must.)

Learn to hold your sippy cup like so. (It frees up your hands to play.)

Dance in someone elses shoes, mom doesn't mind. (Helps you to stay balanced.)

Shoulders are made for sitting on!

Tyler has become so talkative and animated. He has made mommy and daddy so shocked as to what he can say. We are so lucky to have him!

Booga's 5th Birthday Party

2009-08-17T20:46:00.000-07:00

Tyler taking a swing at the pinata.

Look at that cute little belly sticking out of his pj's!

I can't believe the Booga is 5 and old enough to go to Kindergarten! Happy Birthday Booga!

This is my favorite picture of the evening. I caught the boys at the perfect time. Tyler was cheering on the older kids breaking open the pinata and later got cake and ice cream. I am glad that he is getting old enough to enjoy the things that the bigger kids are doing.

Visiting Daryl, Rachel and Avery

2009-08-17T20:38:00.000-07:00

Tyler loves the stairs at Daryl and Rachel's house, he had fun going up and down them trying to find Mr Fox and Leela.

This is the Avery. She was very much excited to see us. She has grown so much, but still has alot of catching up to do.

How crazy is this picture????? Tyler is alittle over a year older than Avery and he looks HUGE compared to her. I am glad that she hasn't grown so big like Tyler. Its nice to enjoy the babies when they are still small in size. Tyler just went from newborn to big boy in a very short time.

Cougar Mountain Zoo!!!!

2009-07-17T20:55:00.001-07:00

This was was the excitement of the day. Baby tigers that are being acclimated to being in a zoo. They are newly born and will be on display after July 22. Oh yeah we will go see our new pets!!!

This was my Mr T when we got to the zoo. We had a busy night and he was tired so we hoped that he would wake up, but enjoyed the nap he was taking too.

This is my next pet. Momma says YES!!! but Daddy is allergic...darnit.

OK fine... if I can't have the cougar I will take the tiger. He is only two, thats the same as me right?

This is me feeding some hairy animal, grandma gave me some apples to give the very tall dog or very small horse. Can't remember what its called.

Tyler was asked to touch the alligator and its a good thing it was only a statue. He poked the eye of that alligator in the eye and laughed. He had so much fun running around the quaint little zoo. I really enjoyed it because the animals were up close.
Thank you again Grandma Diane for the visit at the Zoo... It was so much fun.

Tyler Pics

2009-07-07T13:31:00.000-07:00

My new favorite picture of Tyler. Ty was scared of the boom booms on the fourth of July.

Tyler watching the kids jump on the trampoline.

I love this look.... He is saying "what do you want mom, I'm busy."

Waiting for his daddy, Tyler wanted to climb a rock. He is getting so big.

My little man is 20 months old

2009-06-25T22:16:00.001-07:00

Ty is going to be just like his Uncle Christoffer. He loves his milk.

Ty doing air guitar.

Tyler attempting to do the sign for weezer.

Our little man is now a jumping, running, laughing, talking 20 month old. He points out babies everywhere we go. Maybe he is hinting that we need a baby in our family. Karl says our babies don't stay small very long, but it would be fun to have another one. Tyler and daddy went for a walk today. Karl said he walked the whole time. It is nice that we can do more things with him now that heis more independent. I don't know what I am going to do when we don't count how old he is by month any more. I am sure he will be keeping us plenty busy.

Fathers Day 2009

2009-06-21T15:31:00.001-07:00

This picture is an old one, but a good one of my boys!

Tyler and I had a chat and we wanted Karl to know what makes him a wonderful dad.

Tyler loves to go swimming with him.
Karl has taught him how to play xbox and given Ty his own profile on the xbox 360.
Introducing him to spicy foods, momma doesn't like it ewww.
Dancing to the theme song of "portal".
Giving him his first taste of soda. (Daddy got in trouble for that one by momma)
Taught him how to give knuckles and bonks.
Gets Ty up in the mornings while momma gets in the shower.
Fun to play with at the park.
Karl teaches Ty to be good to his momma.
When we pull into Karl's work to pick him up Ty screams "DADDY!!!!"
Karl always has time to play with Ty.
Karl tries to teach him new words everyday.
Ty gets to experience NASCAR races with daddy.
Karl taught Ty how to do the one with his finger to the question "How old are you Tyler?"
Ty is learning how to count with daddy. So far he knows two, five and nine.
Karl puts Ty first with everything he does.
Karl reassures momma when she freaks out about Ty doing things that he might get hurt doing.
Ty's Dad want him to learn how to do the hand sign for weezer. Ask Ty to do it, it is so cute!!

There are many more things to be listed, but Ty can't fully communicate everything he loves about his dad. I know that Karl does so much for our little family. We love him so much. Happy Father's DAY!!!!!!

Woodland Park Zoo

2009-06-07T21:38:00.000-07:00

Playing on the drums.

Checking out the penguins.

Cute family picture.

The big gorilla came over and sat down right by Tyler.

Tyler giving the gorilla kisses! We had so much fun at the zoo. You would never had known that this little boy only took 15 minute nap before we took off to the zoo and he was too excited to sleep all day. He did crash in the car on the way home and he slept for 13 hours!!! It was a good night for mommy and daddy! Thank you Grandma Diane for inviting us.

New Potty Chair

2009-06-07T21:25:00.000-07:00

Just to go on record. Tyler get a potty seat a few weeks ago and we have occasionally sat him on it just to get used to it. He will be using it when he moves up in the new classroom at school. Anywho. Tonight grandma and poppy were visiting and he started grunting so I booked it to the bathroom and sat with him for a little while and then he tooted alittle and then we got excited and he did his duty and pooped in the toilet!!! What a big boy!

Hungry Boy

2009-06-07T21:24:00.001-07:00

Tyler at Grandma's house figuring out the fridge.

Friends

This of course is Tyler and this is his friend LJ. Big boy Mr. C is not in the picture because he was walking next to the boys, but these two were laughing and having a good old time while us adults went shopping. These two believe it or not are 10 months apart. LJ is older and so stinkin' cute! Mr T is very quickly catching up to the only boy cousins he ever had.

100th Blog!!!!!

2009-05-30T23:07:00.001-07:00

Tyler, my little man has decided that he likes the water. We took him swimming last weekend and he loved it. It was alittle rough at first but then he got a ball and had a blast. We have a swimming pool in our apartment complex and so we will take him more. These pictures are from a swimming pool in Renton, we went to a birthday party and it was fun! Enjoy the pictures.

My 19 month old little MAN!!!

2009-05-28T21:07:00.000-07:00

This is my little man, I tried to write a poem about him but it was too hard for my little brain. In the past while we have figured out that he is sensitive to tomatoes, he ends up breaking out in a rash when tomatoes touch his skin. He is talking SO much. He said milk today it came out as "MOAK!!!!". He dropped his sippy cup in the van on the way to pick up Karl. It was cute but the screaming in between wasn't so cute. If you ask him a question he says yes to everything, unless he absolutely doesn't not like what it is you ask him.
Tyler is 19 months old and he will soon move up into the toddler classroom at work, which they put him on the potty every two hours. In preparation to this we have bought him a potty seat insert that he has learned to sit on. When he was younger and we asked him to poop he would do it on command. We were hoping that we might get lucky enough for him to just do it on the potty seat but once we got him sitting on it, he just laughed.
He loves riding the horse at my parents house and has enjoyed the warm weather we have been having so that we could go for walks. He likes to grab at the weeds on the side of the sidewalk and laughs as it tickles his chin. He is already playing on the computer. I don't mind it so much because he is always going to be around them and I would rather he learn how to use it the right way than not at all.
Whenever I get off the phone with someone he screams "BYYYEEEEEE." SO if you ever call me just tell me you want to hear him say it and stay on the line as if we just hung up.
We are so lucky to have him.

Tyler and the frog

2009-05-13T21:22:00.000-07:00

Tyler today at school was playing with a frog before lunch time. I mentioned to his teacher that Tyler has begun sleeping with a frog at home. At first he was just playing with it but then Karl started giving him the frog and telling him it was time to go to sleep. In the past few days he has been so cute with the frog. After mentioning this to his teacher, she offered him the frog to help my squirmy little man the frog and he said yes, then said "Daddy, ni-night?". She said yes and he cuddled with the frog and fell asleep.

Having fun

2009-05-03T16:57:00.000-07:00

One night Tyler and I went to my parents house. While we were there Tyler had a blow out. It was so bad, after I wiped him up I put him in the tub. When he got out of the tub he ran away from me and sat down on the dog's bed and laughed out of control. Remember, he has no diaper or clothes on. I had to risk it and take a picture because his face was just too cute.

Random Tyler Pictures

2009-04-21T20:21:00.000-07:00

Tyler loves to find big cooshy chairs and plop down on them, then rock them or see if the can rock at all. This picture was taken at a family birthday party.

Tyler again finding a big cooshy chair. He sits in it and then looks around like he owns the place, or he is expecting the royal treatment.

I snuck this picture not knowing until after I took it that he stole the birthday boys fork that was covered in frosting! He loved it of course.

I love this picture. Tyler is sitting in my bosses chair at work looking at Ms. Norma after she asked if she could have the day off. Tyler is so much fun!! Oh yeah, Tyler is now old enough to go into nursery at church. Which means he turns 18 months old on Friday. Last Sunday he went for the first time and I left him for about 45 minutes. He was so mad and tired. The end of church is also the beginning of his nap time. He will be ok though.

Brushing his teeth

2009-04-08T22:31:00.000-07:00

Tyler loves to brush his teeth. We haven't posted much on here lately, he is keeping us pretty busy. This month there is only one birthday, but next month there are a ton of birthdays in the family. So we are going to enjoy the calm before the storm (its not meant to be bad so please don't take it that way). Tyler's new word is NOOOOOOO! He loves to listen to people talking to him on the phone and he just laughs at you when he recognizes people he knows. He got to talk to both his grandma's today so he was very happy. Hope everyone is having as much fun as Tyler!

Fun at the Twiddy's

2009-03-21T16:56:00.000-07:00

These are the happy little men. Tyler just turned one in October, Logan turned two in December and William just turned two this month. It was lots of fun to play with all the boys together. I am glad my friends have such wonderful boys for Tyler to play with.

Tyler was so happy playing at his friends house. I think he was trying to do the splits. Anyway. Tyler is becoming more social and is able to understand more so that makes playing with him awesome. He loves playing with cars and bouncy balls. He is learning how to play catch with his daddy and it is hilarious watching him try to catch the ball.

Hanging out with Uncle Matt

2009-03-09T22:33:00.000-07:00

Uncle Matt came to visit and he had lots of fun with Tyler.

Matt is the only one so far who Tyler let read a book a book to him.

I love this picture. Tyler and Matt together and so happy.

Thanks to Uncle Matt for coming and hanging out with little man.

My little climber

2009-03-09T22:28:00.000-07:00

Tyler climbed the table first and then he learned how to turn over a laundry basket and climbed on top of it.

In order to distract him we asked him how old he was. He shows us how old he is and then he picked his nose. Crazy boy.

Gene Coloun Park

2009-03-09T22:17:00.000-07:00

We took Tyler to the park after work a few weeks ago. He had so much fun. Here are pictures of him trying out the playground.

Tyler loved the slide. He wasn't scared at all.

Tyler found the climber. He loved the stairs and refused to go up higher without Tyler.

Tyler is such a big boy.

Tyler cried and screamed when it was time to leave. Karl loved that Tyler had so much fun. He talked about how he went to the park with his mom when he was little.

Sorry its been awhile!

2009-02-26T22:28:00.000-08:00

Tyler has a habit of checking in with his girlfriend (my boss) who is in the office everyday and on one particular day he went all the way back to the infant room to go see his Ladies. Tyler has ALOT of women in his life. Anyway we got back to the infant room said his hello's and saw the chair he was very familiar with an plopped himself down in it and looked at his old teachers like, "Where's my bottle at?"

I love this picture of Tyler. When I try to read books to him that are too long for his liking he usually takes them out of my hand and goes his own way with it. This time he ended up in the laundry basket with the book. He is so adorable.
Mr. T is also officially 16 months old. I am a bad mom and did not get a picture taken on the 24th but I will try to get a picture of him and post it on here so ya'll's can see how much bigger he is. Someone asked me if he gets mistaken for a 2 or 3 year old today. I was in shock because I am used to him just being big. I guess he won't fit in a NASCAR car because he will be too big.

Tyler's new haircut

2009-02-07T22:35:00.000-08:00

We thought that if we went to a fun haircut place that it would make the whole process easier.

He had a rough time in the beginning with the clippers, and once she used the scissors he calmed down a bit more.

In the end he just didn't care anymore.

I think that I love his new hair cut. It makes me sad because he looks like a toddler now instead of my baby boy. He has to grow up sometime though. I love you Mr. T!!

Tyler likes Dancing

2009-01-31T13:13:00.001-08:00

Took this last night. Tyler starts dancing to "Still Alive", but then gets interested in the xbox and turns it off. heh.

My son is stinkin' adorable

2009-01-25T21:50:00.000-08:00

Tyler was all decked out when we went to a wedding of a friend of mine. Congrats Jamie.

Tyler is now 15 months old. There are days when I get so sad because I miss holding my itty bitty baby. Tyler says, Uh-oh, mama, dada, thank you. He also signs please, thank you Aunt Debbie. I just can't believe that my son has gotten so big so fast. I am thoroughly enjoying taking care of him and watching him. He loves to push the buttons on the xbox 360, computer, tv and laptop.

Goofy Boy

2009-01-20T21:56:00.000-08:00

My son climbed on top of the chair and sat there for awhile and then I turn around and this is what I see.

Tyler was going for daddy's soda can when he first climbed on to the chair.

We were laughing more towards the end because he was so determined to get what he wanted. Crazy boy!

What am I going to do with this boy! At school he is doing the same thing. He has gotten into time out for this. He still thinks this is funny. I know I am not helping by taking pictures of him climbing but its like eating a cookie while I'm dieting, at the moment it was worth the sacrifice.

Random Pictures

2009-01-14T22:05:00.000-08:00

My dad with Tyler. I asked Tyler how old he is and this is what he did. Since we have been asking him how old he is he has also discovered how to pick his nose, see where is finger ended up?

Tyler loves to climb into the laundry baskets and "chill". We thought it was cute at first, then he realized it got him closer to pushing the xbox on and off and messing with more buttons that he is not aloud to touch.

This is a pretty cool picture.Jules is 5 weeks older than Tyler. He looks huge compared to her. Spending time with her, you do realize that she is more advanced than Tyler though. While at Debbie's house last Saturday, they taught Tyler how to say please in Sign Language. I have tried to teach him how to say "more" and he just looks at me like I am crazy. Thank you to Aunt Debbie and the persisent chicklets for teaching Tyler how to say please.

funny faces

2009-01-04T18:29:00.000-08:00

This is at the aquarium, Tyler was checking out the sharks. He was excited about the fishies only after Karl pointed them out to him.

Tyler loves to give this face when we say smile.

Trying out the controller, its different then his daddy's so he must figure it out.

My handsome boy getting so tall.

What a little stinker. He loves climbing up and down the stairs.

This was at Taco Time. He doesn't like it there so much. He did humor us with a smile though!

Christmas 2008

2008-12-27T16:19:00.000-08:00

Tyler and the Christmas Tree. He got the rocking chair he is sitting on for Christmas.

This is the Tractor that he got from Aunt Debbie and Uncle Kent.

Tyler's festive bouncy ball from Aunt Rachel and Uncle Daryl.

This is his own telephone. We are hoping he will start using this one instead of making phone calls on mommy and daddy's cell phones!

Tyler got this rocking chair for Christmas. He saw it first and didn't really care about the presents under the tree because he couldn't see what all the cool stuff was. We really enjoyed this year, watching Tyler get all excited for his new toys. He also got a guitar that he puts on his shoulder so he can get the FULL effect of the sound coming out. I haven't gotten a picture of it yet but when I do you will all get to see it on here.

Snow Day Fun

2008-12-21T20:00:00.000-08:00

Tyler loves playing in the snow. He was having so much fun falling in it.

This is my boys walking in the snow. They are two peas in a pod.

Tyler has had a busy day of making messes and playing outside. Its time for bed.

Good night.

playing in the snow

2008-12-21T14:59:00.001-08:00

Tyler walking around in the freshly fallen snow.

He reminds me of the kid on A Christmas Story.

Recovering from a fall.

My crazy boy crawling in the snow.

Walking around with daddy. He didn't know what to think of it. Once he got going he wanted to run around everywhere. I enjoyed the snow on Thursday and now we are going to have to take more pictures of todays snow.

The Party Continues

2008-12-20T22:57:00.000-08:00

Right before we were leaving, Uncle Daryl was getting showered by Tyler kissing him on the cheek. Tyler knows who his Uncle Daryl is and all three boys are so fun together. Tyler wants to be with the big boys all the time.
We do an elephant gift exchange every year and this year this bag caught Tyler's eye. Grandma Diane brought it and when you push the button on it , the bag blinks and it plays a song. Tyler was rocking out to it through out the night and it kept him busy.

Tyler checking out the magical bag!

Tyler's new Talent!!!

2008-12-20T22:54:00.000-08:00

With the snow days we have been having, Karl stayed home on Thursday and he began teaching Tyler to put one finger up when people ask him how old he is. Today was the first day that we caught it on camera. Grandma Diane asked him how old he is and showed her. My big boy is so cute.

Just hanging out

2008-12-13T22:23:00.000-08:00

My son is a goof ball. He has figured out how to climb into laundry baskets and he will grab any cloth, including his Daddy's sock and put it in his mouth.
We went to Applebee's for dinner last weekend, just our little family. Things have been so stressful with Tyler's hand. It was nice to see my little man so happy and playful again. I love this smile and I am so glad we caught it on camera.
Yesterday Tyler and I were driving to pick up Karl. Every once in a while I would catch Tyler with his arms up in the air. It took me a minute to realize that he was doing the touchdown sign. Once I parked the car, I grabbed the camera and took pictures of him doing different poses. Does Tyler look like he loves the camera? I think so.
This is Tyler telling his side of the story. You can sort of see his hand in this picture, I think it looks more red in this picture because it was cold outside. He is using it more and it doesn't see to bother him any more.

Burn Update

2008-12-03T21:35:00.000-08:00

Karl says that the pictures that we took from Tyler's dr appointment were too gross to put on here. The burn specialists broke the blisters and rebandaged him and during the process he got his very first sucker! He was loving it. Except for the fact that its the safety ones with the paper stick that can so SO easily go completely into my sons mouth. Today was his very first day with no tylenol and he didn't fuss at all until Grandma Nancy helped momma put on the new bandage.

Coping Skills

2008-11-30T19:43:00.001-08:00

Tyler has coped very well with his hand being burned. With his hand being the way it is it has stopped him from crawling and now he is walking more and yes as you can see in the pictures he has mastered climbing the couch. Nothing is safe in this house anymore. He climbs up and just laughs at us like he knows a secret that we "grown ups" have no clue about.
One of these pictures is not for sensitive eyes. This is the most recent picture of his blisters. We are still dressing his hand and tomorrow we are going to the doctor to see how it is.

2008-11-28T00:23:00.000-08:00

Every time I do the pictures on here they come out in a weird order, so I apologize at the confusion. Tyler had his first ER visit today. We went to my parents house for dinner and then we headed over to Aunt Rachel and Uncle Daryl's house to have desert. Well we were just about to go home, Karl ran to the bathroom and I was following Tyler around the house to keep him from getting into drawers and the cat food and the laptops. When I turned my back for just a minute, ironically I was talking to Rachels sister about baby proofing their house. Tyler screamed bloody murder. He had booked it over to the fireplace and touched the hot glass, thus burning his left hand on his finger tips and the pad just below his fingers. I was so scared. We went to my mom's house again to see if my parents could solve the problem, but even we didn't realize how bad it was. Tyler was still screaming so we went to the hospital. I let Karl drive because he does better driving in a stressful situation than me. They got us in a room asap and they checked out Tyler then brought Tyler Motrin and we waited for about an hour after that then they bandged him up and sent us on our way. Tyler fell asleep for awhile while we were waiting. We had the coolest RN, Joe, who was awesome with Tyler and got his hand wrapped up without Tyler totally freaking out.When we were on our way home I called my mom again and she suggested putting a sock on the hand to keep tyler from messing with it. That peaked Tylers interests and he didn't go to sleep for another half an hour after we got home. He is finally asleep and I am ready to crash. Goodnight everyone.

13 months old

2008-11-26T22:52:00.000-08:00

Tyler turned 13 months old on Monday. This picture was taken on Sunday before we went to church. His handsome little suit was given to him by Grandma Diane. What is really surprising is that this outfit is a size 24 month outfit!!!! My dad is 6'4" and Karl and I are both about 6'0", so we know Tyler will be tall too, but I wasn't ready for him to get so big so fast. I enjoy every minute with my Ty guy.

Big Boys

2008-11-26T22:36:00.000-08:00

You would never guess that my little Logan Bear is ten months older than my little man Tyler. Its so cute to watch these two play together because Logan wants to show Tyler everything cool. We have visited with Superwoman's family more and Tyler has enjoyed being around other kids he can play with outside of daycare. It has been shocking to me that I was able to hold Logan when he was less than 24 hours old. I held him and talked to him when he was a month old about how he was with my baby, just a month before and I was ready for him to come. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Logan and how directly or indirectly he was involved in Tyler coming. Maybe that was my plea to Heavenly Father. Maybe it was a better understanding of the Plan of Happiness. Maybe it was my patience and faith being tested.
I am so blessed.

Tylers super power

2008-11-18T22:37:00.000-08:00

My son is a leaf eater. His teacher knows that I keep the camera with me all the time and so she ran into our classroom, we share a half door and asked me for my camera. This is what she showed me. His expression is priceless. I love him so much.

Hanging out with mom and dad

2008-11-15T23:53:00.000-08:00

Tyler playing at the wall.

Tyler was not happy to be in the boat by himself.

I love the faces this boy makes. He is getting so much more animated and excited about things around him. We have been trying to take him to the mall's playground to see if he likes being in there. I do have to say that there are too many older children in there who are NOT attended by their parents and the teacher comes out in me and I end up telling them to calm down because there are little kids all around them. GRRRR!!!! We went there tonight with Rian, Morgan and Booga with Tyler and he had more fun with the girls than the last time.

Bath time fun

2008-11-10T20:58:00.000-08:00

Tyler is very funny. He loves the bath tub and will come walking or crawling as fast as he can just to get into the bath. Karl was giving him a bath and he called me in, its a good thing that I grabbed the camera because I got a great picture.

The Last Diaper

2008-11-09T10:23:00.000-08:00

We just want to say thank you to Grandma Diane for buying a years worth of diapers for Tyler. It really was a huge blessing that we didn't realize how much we appreciated until it was over. We would call Grandma and tell her that we needed to see her every month or so and she would happily buy diapers and give lots of loves to little man.
Tyler is doing great and he is laughing and playing and walking all over.

2008-11-02T19:31:00.000-08:00

This is very rare for him to smile at school. The only time he does it is when he has just eaten food and I only say hi briefly.

Tyler and momma share a door that opens up half way and he knows that I am there and I check on him often.

This is the shirt that we got him for Halloween. It glows in the dark.

Halloween 2008

2008-11-02T19:06:00.001-08:00

Tyler had lots of fun at Poppi's house handing out candy to the kids and taking care of Grandma who had surgery.

All the cousins came over and we took a group picture in front of the house, also with some of the Davis cousins.

The babies with the momma's.

All crashed out after a long night.

Tyler loves hanging out with his aunts and uncles. This is Uncle Matt with little man. Tyler sure does know how to wear out all the adults around him. He had so much fun being a pumpkin for Halloween.

Karl fixing the carseat

2008-10-26T19:26:00.000-07:00

Tyler ready to go.

Hello I'm ready!!!!

Karl brought the carseat in so that he could figure everything out and switch it to forward facing in the van. As you can tell Tyler sat down in it upside down and didn't care that it wasn't hooked up to the car. We got some good laughs from it.... Birthday pictures coming soon.

2008-10-25T22:24:00.000-07:00

Tyler opening presents.

Tyler with mommy and daddy.

Getting ready to blow out his candle.

The birthday cake.

I can't figure out why the pictures are coming on here backwards...grr..... Anyway this is a picture of the game we played with the kids. They had to eat the marshmellow without any hands and they all had a blast. I didn't think about how short the kids would be so we all had to hold the kids up so they could even reach them. Tyler had so much fun at Aunt Rachel and Uncle Daryls house for his birthday. We had the grandmas and even Tylers great grandma there, along with lots of kids. Superwoman took all the pictures (thank you) and her boys had a blast. Tyler got spoiled with electronic toys and clothes. He played with his toys (too much sugar) until mommy and daddy were too tired to keep going and then he crashed. Tomorrow is his 1 year dr appointment and he is getting shots. Poor boy. Thank you to EVERYONE for your birthday wishes and help at the party. It was great.

Tylers 1st Birthday

2008-10-24T21:48:00.001-07:00

Tyler hanging out on the phone.

Tyler so excited for his new toy.

Tyler this morning with his big cheeser grin. The pictures for some reason came in backwards. Tyler didn't want to go to bed, so Karl let him get up for a little bit longer. We made the mistake of giving him his birthday present, right before we got him ready for bed. This morning when I was up with Tyler I was thinking that I was leaving for the hospital with Karl and that my son was born a few hours later. I was in and out of bed so I was pretty out of it, but I do miss my itty bitty baby. I am so excited to watch him grow and learn.

Sick Day

2008-10-24T21:40:00.000-07:00

Tyler got sick on Tuesday night and he was so tired on Wednesday. He slept from 4:30 in the afternoon and he only woke up to eat and then woke up the next morning at 6:30 am. Lucky me, I got sick last night and I slept most of today. Tyler loves sharing everything!!!

Tylers First Halloween Party

2008-10-22T09:36:00.000-07:00

Tyler always finds a ball to play with.

Saying hi to Daddy.

Loves playing with the balloons.

Having fun with Mommy.

We went out to Jennifers house for Tylers first Halloween Party. Tyler had so much fun playing with everyone. We watched the kids play fun games and Tyler of course wanted to get right into the thick of it. He did help me decorate a cookie and then he saw the frosting jar and he wanted to eat it all (I don't know who he would he that from). He did get very adventerous and he climbed up the stairs and I didn't know it til I heard him fall down a few steps. He got over it quickly and wanted to climb them again. My baby is growing up.

First Haircut

2008-10-17T06:08:00.000-07:00

Before.

After.

Getting ready.

Tyler was very upset that we wanted to get his hair cut. He did it and it turned out nice. Gotta get going.

2008-10-10T17:14:00.000-07:00

Tyler with his first big bonk.

Tyler himself couldn't believe how bad it got. Yesterday at work Tyler was in the Waddler Room, the next room after the Infant Room, and he took at step and then fell and hit his head on the edge of the table. My boss rushed into my classroom and said Aimee come here now. I thought I was in trouble and so I followed her out of my room. Then she said that I might have to take him to the Emergency Room. I thought she was joking so I was waiting for her to turn around and laugh but she never did. When I got into the room, which ironically we share a door. I saw Ms Wendi sitting on the floor with my son in her lap covered with a paper towel, which turned out to be an ice pack. I rushed him to the car and immediately called his dr and the nurse told me that she thought that he was ok because his head was not gushing blood and he was not crying. We were told to watch for signs of a concusion but other than that he should be ok.
We went to go see my mom and then took him to Sunny's house for a bit. After that we went to my parents house to see my dad and my mom wanted to see him after she got off work Tyler started playing rough with my mom and he ended up throwing up on me but that was from my mom playing with him and not his head.
He slept pretty good last night, he only woke up at 4 am for a bottle and then Karl stayed home with him because today was an insevice day at my work. Its over 24 hours from the bonk and he is b0ack to 01111111111111111111 taking
o.ver the computer as you can see.

First Steps

2008-10-05T20:55:00.000-07:00

This is what Tyler looks like when he is humming. He is adorable.

This is Tylers new trick the stink bug pose.

On September 28 my little man took his first step toward his Poppi. I don't think he had a clue what he was doing but we were all so excited. Since then he has taken a step here and there and last night while at Aunt Sunny's house he took four steps, FOUR. I was so excited I called Karl who was on a man date with his xbox to tell him the good news. Tyler is getting so daring and so fun.

2008-10-04T08:00:00.000-07:00

Tyler and Logan hanging out with the diaper box!

Cooper getting into the action.

Last night Sunny and the boys came over to hang out for awhile. It was so much fun to have them over. The boys got so excited after I emptied a diaper box and it became the place to play in. Tyler didn't figure out how it worked but he was having fun with Logan and Cooper. Remember the obnoxious blue talking dinosaur? I don't know where it went.
