We have had a fun weekend of visitors, family, and yummy food. Friday night we had dinner with some friends from the ward. They have three kids, the youngest being 5 weeks old. Tyler and I go walking with them at the rec center. Jessica and I had fun getting our husbands together. Guys need some testosterone every now and then! We had yummy crock pot "Dr. Pepper Chicken" and a delicious fruit salad. Thank goodness for summertime coming!
Friday night my cousin Brittny and her husband stayed with us. They are in the process of making the move out to this beautiful desert oasis ;) They are both working hard to make it happen. It was fun to get to talk to them for a bit and share breakfast and some extra attention for Tyler too! Hope that things work out well for them. We should know what the future holds in a few more weeks.
Saturday Tyler and I hung out and caught up on some sleep...kinda. Tyler went from sleeping through the night, for about a week now, to staying up all night- CRYING!! Arg. I hope that he gets back to being a big boy soon because I'm pooped. After daddy got home we had a spontaneous BBQ and invited our cousins Michael and Jenna for some delicious hand-made hamburgers, fruit salad, bbq beans, chips, drinks, and malts to top off the night.
This may not sound too special, but it meant that we got to buy a BBQ to cook our burgers. Ryan ran out and got the Wal-Mart special ;) and it performed great! Tyler was watching his daddy put together the BBQ, then when we let him out of his high chair Ty crawled right over, picked up the screw driver, and looked like he was trying to tighten the screws that Ryan was just working on. It was so funny!
Our little guy is still growing, we love having so many great family members close by, and we've had fun being a little more spontaneous and social.
Cute Mohawk- loving his bubble bath!
Tyler's cute little outfit- baby cargo shorts and a little graphic tee. Thank goodness for people crazy enough to buy cute clothes at baby gap.
Tyler likes to get ready for work with daddy- he even wanted to put on dress socks and shoes!
Tyler learned how to open cupboards, and get stuck under the sink!
Helping daddy tighten up the last couple screws.
I realized that we had missed out on some play pictures with Granny. Tyler spent most of his waking hours in the arms of his Granny. He loves being loved! Granny was so good at getting smiles out of him :)
The Easter Bunny left Tyler a little something in Sacramento. I'm glad he got the memo to visit us in the great Sunshine State. Tyler, of course, loved the basket and grass just as much as the great treats in it.
Here's a better picture of what Ty really loved with Grandpa. Grandpa Fred is 6'3" so I'm sure the world is a whole different place from up there.
It was hard to leave after having such a happy baby boy for so long. He was thriving on the extra attention. He didn't even get off of his sleeping schedule or anything! Here we are one last picture in California at the Sacramento Airport before we returned to boring landscape, high temperatures, and DADDY!
