Ty's First Year Photos

This is way overdue, but hey, who cares.  We took 1 year old pictures with Tyson.  And we did it ourselves as we do these days, but tried to make it somewhat cute and professional.  What do you think?  I'm going to be a photoshop pro someday ;)

This boy has made my heart grow.  He makes me smile and laugh every day, yeah and can push my buttons and such, but hey we are thinking about the good here right?  This first year has been a ride, one I had no idea what would entail and I have been very happy with the first day to the first year.  He just gets cuter and sillier and I hope that continues for awhile.  -- Trying not to think about him turning 18, or 30, 40 much sooner than I'd want.  Let's just enjoy this boy who will still give me lots of hugs and love.


And here are some other great shots... yes we take a lot...

Summer Visitors

Tyson only has 1/2 of his grandparents close to him, so he's really lucky when they come to visit!  And come they did :)  Both groups came July/August.  Here are some pictures and possibly brief notes about the visit.

Baba & Nana

What a good shot!  All 3 are smiling :)

Out to dinner, Tyson was actually better behaved eating out and watching everyone around us.

For Tyson's 1st birthday Baba & Nana gave him an Elmo Train Set - which I can say he loves.

And loves. And loves.  Lots more than Baba and Dada loved putting it together ;) And the Elmo sings a song, which is so catchy - letters and numbers - ask me, we'll sing it for ya. haha

We also took a quick trip to visit Grandma's grave as it was close to her b-day and good to see it again.  Can't believe how quickly time passes when it feels like it wasn't 1.5 years ago.

We also drove to see Dad's old house on the West SLC area - the streets changed names so now I'm confused again what number its on - either 4th, 5th, or 8th, 9th!? and about 800 west.

Grandma Kathy

We didn't do so well taking pictures this trip, but did have some from June that I've already posted.  We did a BBQ and Tyson enjoyed hanging with grandma on the blanket.  And Tyson didn't see Grandma at the wedding too much but D&I did.  Grandma was able to make it to Ty's birthday party as well so that was a nice treat.

Thanks everyone for coming to visit!

Family Pictures - June 2014

Tyson changes so much daily that I've tried to do at least 2 family photos a year.  Luckily we have a great friend Shayla who can follow us around and do what I'm hoping.  We had a great time at Wheeler Farm in June going around with Tyson not only for pictures but he also got to meet lots of farm animals.

We didn't get one smile till he had a bottle of milk and then when daddy tickled him.  So a lot of our first shots are good, but those ending ones are just so precious to me.

Without further introduction - here's my family. Love them.
(A few songs came to mind with some of these)

"Wanna be like you"

"Walk like a man"

"I'm keeping you forever and for always"

"Skyfall"

"I'm on top of the world"

 "You make me smile"

"L is for the way you look at me"

Love this guy and my little family.
