Long time no write

So its been a long time so here is an update. All is well here in Springville Utah. We had a great summer and a great visit from my mom and sister. Tyson is 1 and loving every minute of his discovery of new talents of his. Currently he is having fun finding many ways to give himself a goose egg on his forhead. Last week he went head first off the rocking chair onto the hardwood floor. We were impressed that there wasn't any bruise until he woke up two days later with a horrible bruise on his head. Then yesterday he took a tumble into the pantry door and all he said was "ooooo" and "ow." He loves to talk and run around after Emma chanting her name. Emma loves it because it makes her feel important. She is enjoying having a girl right next door who is the same age. They play together almost everyday and cry when they cannot play. It is a great insentive to get Emma to do things so she can go and play.

While Grandma and Auntie Mal were here Emma had fun making funny poses in her new clothes.

Tyson also got his first hair cut while Mallory was here and I'm not sure who was more nervus him or me. It was the first time for me to cut someone's hair other that Stan's. It is quite the experience cutting a boy's hair. I am glad it grows fast. The poor kid, his hair is so light he looks like he has no hair.

Tyson loves books and now can say "Read" until you read it. He is really funny. He will hound you until you read him the book he brings you.

clown face Emma!

Camping trip

He is having so much fun walking! Over the 4th we went on an interesting camping trip. We borrowed Stan's parent's car and their pop-up trailer and went to Lehman's cave in Nevada. 70 miles outside of Delta the van overheated. So we waited about an hour trying to cool it off. Then we went 3 miles and it died again. So we waited another hour in the heat waited for it to cool off. Finally we try it with fingers crossed and we went maybe another 3 miles and it died AGAIN!!!! This time for good. There was smoke and everything. The nice sherrif of Millard County took us to the border town that was 20 minutes away where we waited 3 1/2 hours for Stan's dad to get us. But there was hope. Another vehicle was brought to us so we could go camping since we were there already!

So with high hopes we go off to find a camping spot. To our dismay. . . there were NONE!!!! So with our heads low we find an RV park( where we paid way to much) and parked for the night to try again in the morning. We were able to go through the amazing caves and enjoy a beautiful camping spot with a stream and everything. There are no pictures because we left our camera at home thanks to Heather! (Too much stuff and not enough brain).

It was a great time but I don't want to go camping for a long time. Maybe next summer?!?

After that trip Tyson decided he had enough of everyone else going faster than him. So he decided we would start walking and has never crawled again. It is crazy how they learn to fast when they want to. Emma has fun chasing him around the house. I cannot wait until HE can chase her. I don't think she will think it is as much fun.

Cute Kids

Tyson is growing up so fast. He is a cutie. Emma loves playing with him and he loves to play with her toys. He also loves Emma and is always trying to find her.

The New House

So we love life in the new house. It has been very busy trying to keep on top of everything. We have been busy painting Emma's room and the living room. We are still trying to figure out how to paint Tyson's room. The previous owners left us a wonderful garden area so we have been very busy out there. The kids are loving all the space. Tyson has finally gotten over his fear of the grass, much to Heather's dismay. He is able to stand by himself once he uses the couch, wall, or Heather's legs to stand up. Tyson is so close to walking it is crazy. He is 10 months and still has NO teeth.

Emma loves the tramopline in the back yard. She loves to jump and play and ride her trike. Things are going very well for us in the new house.
