Just thought I would show one of my favorite moments from the week. Laundry is always SO exciting... a little spice is always nice, and I LOVE the help I get from the boys. Emitt loves to put things in the dryer, and tyse loves to load and put soap in the washer. Before long I should be able to just leave them to it, don't you think?
A few weeks ago we (the boys and I) went to the zoo with the Zurmely's. We had such a great time! Tyse lives and dies by the spitting elephant, so we spent a LOT of time next to the fake animals- is that really a zoo visit? We LOVED the monkeys, and emitt got up close and personal with the Lynx.
He was pretty excited. He even made his first animal noise- BAAAA at the mountain goats. Rather boring for a first? YUP. But it was done nonetheless, maybe we can move on to the more exciting. I swear Tyse was talking in sentences by now- I guess I should be glad there aren't a second barrage of questions flying my way. One set is enough!
Have you all seen the white alligator at the zoo? It freaks even me out a bit because it just looks like rubber- that blinks. We have seen it twice now, so I know it moves because it was out of the water this time, but man... it is creepy!
What a great day! Thanks for the invite, Shawna!
A few weeks ago, we went down to the Orem Fire Department's public open house and enjoyed playing with the hoses and the trucks, ambulance, and helicopter. Tyse's favorite part... of course.. is the free cotton candy, but he LOVED watching Dave put out the tree fire, spraying the hose, and climbing in the helicopter!
Here are a few pics from the day!
You Are a Blue Crayon |
 Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying. |
Last tuesday, Tyse got to go to a birthday party for a friend from preschool. His party was a Mickey Mouse party and it was as "Mickey-D's". Happy Meals all round! It was a HUGE hit and a couple days later, tyse was raving about it once again. That was quickly followed up by a "Where am I going to have my birthday party?" and then it was quickly followed by "Costco. yup. I want my party at Costco." Hmmm....
OK, so we were trying to get some pictures to show, but I have been foiled by my ineptitude in computing. So...
IT'S ANOTHER BOY!
As expected, junior #3 is a boy. Did I have any hope for the other? I have never seen such relief on Kent's face... no new bedding, no new decor, no new (or very limited) clothes, and no girl-y hormones to face. We should have gotten a girl dog.
Everything looked great with him- he seems to be just as independent as the other 2 we have- I have to go back for another ultrasound next month because he wouldn't show us his face. But he had no qualms in showing us his gender over... and over.... and over.
Just for reference, he weighs about 11 oz- just 1 oz. less than a can of soda pop- and is similar in length, but skinnier than the can.
What a beautiful blob!
