Tyler got to go on his first Carousel ride at the Roseville Galleria mall. Total rip off as far as the price goes, $3 for one rider! Totally worth it when we saw his little face go from complete horror as the zebra began to move higher to thrill and excitement as we waved each time he went around. It was a fun first together and Tyler wanted to get right back on after it stopped. He is our little thrill seeker.
An unfortunate occurrence as been a nasty case of diaper rash. Our poor boy just got over a fairly bad rash just before we came to visit. The rash is back in full force which means nothing better than naked time for Tyler. He really isn't enjoying sitting in water or even having his bum wiped- but playing with the hose definitely seemed to lift his spirits.
Our traditional night out at Round Table pizza was fun. Tyler decided he was old enough to try the hot wings this time. After one bite he realized you should be at least 2 before trying that again.
One of the cutest things since being here is watching Tyler copy the people around him. Ryan used to detail cars so when he does a car clean-up on Saturdays it can be quite the event. Tyler has been watching his daddy for just over a year now and thought it was time to help. Tyler jumped right in to helping wash Grandpa's car. He started with sudsing up the water, scrubbing the wheels, drying with the microfiber towels, and he even did a little quality control at the end. It was so cute- the pictures really don't do it justice. In case you were wondering, it was past Tyler's bed time and the car washing was done to help him cheer up from more sore bum...hence the crack shot diaper-free. No plumbers in our family...but maybe a family detail business someday.
This morning started at 7am- what a blessing. We enjoyed some family time with Granny and Grandpa before Grandpa went to work and Granny and dad ran off to pick up Popa from the airport. Tyler sure does love his grandparents. The picture isn't posed- they really do play with him on the ground. Tyler also has become quite the social eater. Even if he has just finished breakfast, if someone else sits down for their meal Tyler will gladly join them in his high chair and mooch some of their food too.
I don't think I've mentioned yet how much Tyler loves to cook. I really think he will be my sous chef by the time he is 2. I can't cook anything without him wanting to be a part of the action. He really enjoys stirring, tasting, boiling, mixing, and smooshing :) The experience at Granny's has been no exception. He saw Granny making brownies for tonight and had to get in on the action!
Lastly for now, just another cute shot of the little guy playing in Granny and Grandpa's little stream. He loves the water- and throwing the rocks!
Time to go enjoy a delicious steak BBQ with 4 generations :) I'm sure we'll get some good pictures of that one to post!

The pictures are great!! We love you guys.
Thanks for visiting us.
fun trip! Glad you guys are able to enjoy some nicer weather! When is your next trip to OC?
Looks like you guys are having lots of fun out there. It just rained here in UT. Not a very frequent thing around here as you will recall. It only rained for about 30 minutes though, so not a lot. I keep meaning to take a picture of my belly for you, but it's hard to do myself and I always forget when Nathan is around. I'll go do it right now and see if we can get a decent shot. And it's early evening which means my tummy will be bigger than in the morning. :)
You guys sure look like you are having a blast!!! All the pics of Tyler are so cute!! Now that you are back we need to get together and just let us know when you need Michael's help and my lemonade and cookies!!!
sorry about the lack of belly shot. my camera battery was dead but has finished charging so i'll try to get it done tonight for you! :)
