We drove up to Cedar City today with Kristy and Noah and played at Park Discovery. They had a blast...well aside from the fact that Noah got sick from going in circles on the tire swing and threw up ( after being there only 15 or 20 minutes ) We had fun and it was a long, very tiring day! I have a MILLION pictures to share but I am exhausted. I am going to bed. I will post the pictures tomorrow.
Oh and for those keeping track, I didn't work out Saturday. I was having some major back problems and by the end of the night could barely walk it hurt so bad! Then Sunday I don't exercise any ways. Tonight...completely forgot and already showered and am about to pass out. I am however going to do some leg lifts before I go to bed because that will take a whole 5 minutes. That way I get SOMETHING in and thats where all the extra weight is going right now, my thighs! Not good. So here's to a good nights sleep, lots of uploaded pictures tomorrow and a good work out tomorrow night. I am shooting for either 30 minutes with my DVD or a good 30 minute walk around this gorgeous neighborhood. After all, we are only going to be here a couple more weeks and then my parents are moving about 10 minutes away. So good night to y'all.

365 week 10
Into the double digits. WOO HOO I am excited about that. I had a bad week though...well, I didn't have a bad week, I had a bad day today transferring pictures. While I was transferring pictures over I hit delete on the memory card a little too early and about 20 pictures or so got deleted. I was so mad. I didn't have a picture for the very first day after some got erased so I used a picture from a different day. Some of the pictures that got deleted I am not sad about, BUT I took some really cool pictures of the sky on Wednesday or Thursday and they are all gone. BOOOOOO.
Sunday
Like I said this picture is from later in the week because my Sunday one got erased. This was TYler and grandpa beeping noses together.
Monday
This is cousin Noah's. It's a long story but he got this for his birthday from Blue Bunny Ice Cream. We have several pictures with other people wearing this like, Jon, Scott, my mom...so Tyler put it on his head and I decided to take a picture.
Tuesday
I know this picture has been seen 2 times already but I like it. This day was one of the days a lot of pictures got erased from so I choose this one because it has me and TYler in it.....so in other words I decided that any picture taken on a day, even if I handed the camera to someone else and said, "Take this for me" counts. Haha No one answered when I asked so I decided myself.
Wednesday
This is my handsome boy at Cold STone. MMMMMMM
Thursday
During the So You Think You Can Dance finale, all of the sudden I heard water running. I go to the bathroom and Tyler is up on his step stool filling the sink up with water with a bunch of his toys in it. The water was just about to over flow. Thank goodness I got there in time. I looked at Noah and said, "Did Tyler do that by himself or did you help him?" He looked at me and said, "I may have helped him a little!" Haha Oh kids
Friday
Noah kept making comments about my trunk being SO big! Finally I said, "Why don't you climb inside! haha I have one of him and Tyler in it but I just love the pose here! So cute. I always tell everyone I could fit at LEAST four dead bodies in my trunk. Seriously, it's HUGE
Saturday
I made wheat pizza for dinner. I will add the recipe later because it is SO good! I am in a hurry right now though so I will post it later tonight.

WOO HOO
Just wanted to let those of you who asked me that I worked out again tonight. I still only did 20 minutes but I could barely get through it because my thighs were too sore from last night. So my goal is to do 30 minutes tomorrow and then to probably rest on Sunday. Thanks to those who reminded me. :)

Feeling GGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat!
I have been SO lazy and haven't worked out at ALL in like 2 weeks. This is why I gained so much weight my first pregnancy. well, that and the fact that I ate like crap the whole time. I love apples and I threw one up once while pregnant with Tyler and any time I tried to eat one after that I got sick. In fact, I couldn't eat them again until about a year ago. That was basically the only fruit I ate the time I was pregnant with #1. Yeah, awful, I know. I was such an awful eater! I had that, "Well, I'm pregnant and get to eat whatever I want" mentality going on. I totally missed the part in my pregnancy book that says you only need about an extra 300 to 500 calories during pregnancy depending on what trimester you are on. Did you know that? Yup, doesn't sound like much does it. and I went WELL over that AND worked out seriously, MAYBE 5 times the whole pregnancy. Then we I had Tyler I got skinny pretty darn quick. The day I went in to have him I was 216.8 pounds...and the day I came home from the hospital I was 190! Seriously. Everyone told me that I would lose weight like crazy while breast feeding but no one told me I had to stop eating like I was still eating for two! haha Oh and that I wasn't supposed to eat crappy because I did of course. I didn't lose any weight, but I didn't gain any either. THEN I stopped breast feeding the week before we left for Hawaii. We were supposed to be in Hawaii for 3 months and I figured I would go on a walk EVERYDAY and lose weight and tone my thighs and butt back up. HAHAHAHAHAHA I DID go on a walk everyday...to get lunch and dinner. We ate out pretty much every meal. We had a full kitchen but it was so hard to cook in it that I think I cooked 5 or 6 times the whole month we were there. When we got back ( two months early because they decided they needed Cody in Afghanistan more, punks....) I went to Cali for my brothers wedding and I had gained 10 pounds! I was now in the 200's and I was SO embarrassed. Especially since I was seeing a lot of people for the first time in ages. When I got home I vowed to work out and change the way I ate to better myself. and I did! I was working out really hard at least 3 or 4 times a week and trying to better my eating habits. For those who do not know me well I LIVE off of cheese! It's my weakness. I lost 10 to 15 pounds. It was so good to feel good again. Myra gave me the cutest freaking hair cut and I just felt so good about myself. Then Cody came home and it became harder to find time to work out. I used to work out at night after I put Tyler to bed. But now Cody was home and that was when we got to have some alone time. I didn't want to be working out, I wanted to be cuddling with him on the couch watching a movie. I started eating out more too. I jumped back up to 190. This is basically the story of my life since having Tyler. When Cody is gone for a month or two I get in the habit of working out again and eating at home more, then he comes home and it kind of falls apart. Not his fault, I just liked spending more time with him instead of on the elliptical ( which by the way CHANGED my life forever when we got that almost a year ago! ) Get one, if you don't have the time to work out. It's so wonderful because in an hour I could burn 800 calories while watching my favorite TV shows. It was AWESOME.
I didn't mean to babble this much I swear but I just wanted to let everyone know I worked out tonight! It feels so good. I only worked out for 20 minutes but I can feel my butt burning already! haha When I was done, I ate an apple and an orange and drank some water. It's amazing how much better I feel just from doing those few things. When I first found out I was pregnant, I bought a prenatal work out video and was doing good at using it several times a week. Then we got here and I started bleeding. I was told not to do too much which pretty much meant no working out. I bleed off and on for almost a month and once it stopped it was SO hard to get back into the habit again! I wanted to write this all down as evidence that I want to do better. I think writing it down makes it more real and then maybe I can start doing it on a regular basis and not feel so awful all the time. I just started my second trimester and they "say" you get your energy back and the morning sickness goes away. This was kind of funny to me because I didn't really have morning sickness ( I was lucky other then the bleeding ) but now all of the sudden since I started my second trimester, I have been feeling really sick in the mornings! I had a pounding head ache two days in a row and have been exhausted! Hmmmmm....it doesn't seem fair to me but then again any one reading this who suffered from morning sickness the first trimester is probably telling me to shut up! I actually feel the same way...my dad said something about how I haven't been feeling well and what a bummer it was and I told him I really wasn't trying to complain because I have actually been pretty lucky. Seriously I have and I am not trying to bitch and moan. I have a doctors appointment next Thursday and I can't wait. I hope everything looks good and that we can schedule my ultra sound to find out what we are having. I am also curious as to what the doctor is going to say about the bleeding and stuff. The day I went in for my last appointment I had a dark spot on my sonogram. He assumed thats where the bleeding was coming from and that it wasn't a big deal. He thought that the placenta had attached to a blood vessel and it would bleed itself out and be fine. Sounded good to me. The problems is ( probably just in my head but I still worry ) I was pretty much done bleeding an hour or two later. I am wondering if the dark spot is still going to be there and if so what does that mean now? I know, I know, I'm being paranoid but there is just such an unknown about pregnancies that is scary. My doctor made some comment about how basically no pregnancy is normal because they are all different. True dat.
Okay my friends I am off to bed. I hope I can sleep since I just got done working out. Wish me luck and those of you who read these and talk to me on a regular basis, keep asking me if I have been working out. SERIOUSLY! I want all the help I can get.

365 week 9
Holy cow....9 weeks! You would think I would find a better way to do this since I am at week 9 but every week I do it the same way and hate trying to post them because I have to go back and try and figure out which day I took which picture. I need to start saving them the day I take them. I'm just too lazy or busy some days. But any ways. After trying to figure out for the last 40 minutes or so which pictures I took which day I have my new installment of the 365 project. ENJOY
Day one Sunday
Okay so I never wanted to use two pictures for one day because well, I just didn't want to. I figured once I did it once it would become a habit and I really wanted it to be just one for each day. BUT this one was a series and it got funnier as the day went on so I made a collage of the three pictures and counted it as one. Cheater, I know but whatever. So this is what happened. Tyler wore the first outfit to church. After church he wanted to leave his pants and tie on so I just put the tank top on him. Then we took naps and I made him take the tie and the pants off. When he got up I changed his diaper and put those shorts on him and he went and found the tie and made me put it back on him. My mom said he looked like Tom Cruise! haha I especially like the socks in the last pictures.
Day two Monday
This is something my mom has on one of her shelves in her living room. I liked it.
Day three Tuesday
No one else is going to even think this is funny but we were at Walmart getting ready to check out and I saw this and started laughing hysetrically. I just don't think they thought much abou tthe wording on this picture or I think they would have written it differently. For those who are staring at it thinking, "I don't get it" I guess you have to have a sick sense of humor like me. The picture says, "First photo INSIDE Halle's new baby!" cricket, cricket....yeah like I said, it's probably just me on this one.....but whatever its my project! haha
Day Four Wednesday
Although better then sand, I really am growing to hate these stupid wood chips they put on play grounds now a days. Tyler, otherwise known as MONK, gets them in his shoe every two seconds and makes me take his shoes off and dump them out. Seriously, get's old quick! On the way back to the car I flipped one up into my shoe and it hurt! haha I guess I understand now why he wanted me to keep picking them out.
Day Five Thursday
Tyler and Noah laying on the floor playing with Ty's guitar. I just thought that this was cute
Day Six Friday
This was at the playground by my in laws. We were there while the sun was going down and I took a bunch of pictures. I liked the way this one turned out with the pink sky and orange mountains.
Day Seven Saturday
This is my cute niece Amaya! I took a bunch of pictures of her but I can't get enough of the tongue in this one! haha I had to make it my picture for the day. And that's it folks....until next week.
Now you may think me crazy but I was considering doing two of these. HAHA Like I don't have enough going on any ways, but every other day seems to be a picture of Tyler. I thought it might be a good idea to do one strictly for Tyler and then maybe he would have a good journal to look back on for a year of his life he wouldn't be able to remember. I was going to start it on August 1st...Technically, I still can. I am sure I have taken a picture of him every day since then.....so we'll see. Next week, we may have TWO 365 projects going....
Day one Sunday

Miss Blogger Neglecter
That's what Jim called me today. I guess that means I haven't been updating my blog as much as I used to. I know there have been days when I updated it 4 times and other times when I went 2 or 3 days without anything exciting to say. Lately I am just busy, OR I don't have the internet...long story short, I am being a slacker but it's not always my fault. Today I got some good pictures though. I love pictures as most know by now, but I don't feel like every post has to have them in it. It seems like lately, that's the only time I blog, to post pictures. I'll try and do better but for tonight, your getting pictures. My back is killing me and it's decided to move down into my legs which is always fun RIGHT before going to bed. Restless leg syndrome anyone?
Any ways...I'll explain the pictures as I go along. Oh and let me ask a question just because I wonder what y'all think ( oh and for those who read this who don't have a blogger account, your aloud to comment too! I promise! ) I was just curious for my 365 project, sometimes I have someone take a pictures for me...do you think this still counts as my picture for the day? Just curious, I have a timer and I would for SURE count it if I put the timer on and took one but what about if I say, "Here Kristy take a picture for me?" I know it's my project and I can do whatever the heck I want, but I was just wondering what y'all thought...okay on to the pictures
Tyler has a new obsession with the Dollar Tree. He takes after his momma because I freaking LOVE the dollar tree. Any time we go grocery shopping we have to go to the dollar store first now and pick out a toy. I know thats such a bad habit to get into but I figured when I am only spending a dollar, who cares if it gets me through the shopping trip with out the cries and the fits and the asking to be held for half or the trip! A couple of days ago we went and he bought this helmet. Then it disappeared and I wasn't sure what happened to it. we got from our weekend in Cedar City and it was gone. we went out Monday with Kristy and Noah and I mentioned this to her and Noah started laughing and said, "Oh that because I hid it under the bed!" haha So that's why he has two now. We went to the dollar tree earlier that day and they had another helmet there and Tyler insisted we buy it. I told him he could pick a toy and thats what he picked so I figured who cares if we already had one, especially since at the time I didn't know where the other one was. Then Noah came over and found the one he hid so we had two of them out. Tyler kept saying, "Oh momma you wear it!" and then would put it on my head. If I took it off he would get mad and put it back on so I had Kristy take a picture.
Now I need to back track. Monday was awful! For those of you in Texas who are reading this, I would have SHOT myself if this had happened to us there! haha My mom and dad's power went out a little after 8 in the morning. At first it wasn't so bad. Tyler's DVD player was charged and it wasn't that hot yet. It just so happened to be on a morning where my head was POUNDING and I could barely get off of the couch. That didn't really help at all. Finally around 10 or so Cody called me and as we were talking I managed to get up and eat something. What a difference that made. My head was still hurting but not throbbing. I started to get dressed and Tyler said, "Let's go shopping momma" It took me a half an hour or so to get him and I ready but by this time the house was starting to get hot. I called Kristy to see if they wanted to go with us and she informed me that their power had already come back on. I figured it would be no time at all before ours would be restored too.
We get in the car and drive to the dollar store. That's when we bought the second helmet. I also bought some Tylenol to keep in my purse for emergencies. For a dollar, I get 8 pills...not too bad actually and it was the extra strength kind. WOO HOO We start to walk out of the store and Tyler says, "Okay let's go home momma" I look at him and say, "You don't want to go to the red car store?" Which for those who don't know, that means the grocery store. They have the car carts for the little kids which makes shopping SO WORTH it ( even know their prices are a little more then walmart ) Tyler will sit in the cart and play the whole time I shop usually. He informs me that he wants to go home. I asked him about 5 times and every time he said, "No let's go home momma" Go figure! I was going to buy a bag or two of ice to stick in the fridge so that everything didn't go bad.
We get into the car and I remember that I was going to have tacos for lunch which were left overs from Sunday dinner and required the stove and the microwave, BOTH thins I can't use with no power. Then I start thinking about other things I could make and basically I was screwed. Then I remembered the Little Cesar's Pizza right across the street. SWEET! I go get some crazy bread, some sauce to dip it in ( which was almost 2 dollars!!!! ) and a large pizza. As I start to drive home thinking, "I am sure the power is back now since Kristy's came on two hours ago" I start to notice that all the water falls along the way are not running! CRAP! Which I said out loud and Tyler of course heard and repeated several times in the back seat after I told him not too! I pull into the drive up and open the door and NO SUCH LUCK! It was getting pretty hot too. I was talking to Cody on the phone and without even thinking I opened the microwave up to heat up the sauce because it was really cold and remembered I couldn't use it! DOH!
Man, I just noticed the time so I better speed things up here...We ate lunch and by this time I forgot to mention that TYler's DVD player had run out of battery right before we went shopping, he brought it with us in the car any ways out of habit even though I told him it wasn't working. "I need to plug it in Momma" he kept saying. How do you explain no power to a 2 year old? I realized my lap top had a full battery and played DVD's which seemed like a brilliant plan at the time and it was. Until today when Tyler said, "I want to watch Monsters Inc on computer momma." Crap again!
We went down for naps even though by this time it was 90 degrees in the house. Some of you are probably thinking, "Why didn't she just go to Kristy's house?" Well, Jon hadn't been feeling well and I didn't know if it was contagious or not and seeing as how I am pregnant and Tyler is little, I didn't want to chance it.
SO, Tyler actually feel asleep pretty quick, as did I for like 20 whole minutes. i woke up with my head hurting again and covered in sweat. GROSS! Tyler slept for an hour. he was wearing just his diaper but he always sleeps with his blue blanket and was covered in sweat. I woke him up after an hour because he was so hot. At this point it was almost 4 in the afternoon. The stuff in the freezer was melting and Jon was at work, so we took the frozen stuff to Kristy's and stuck it in her freezer and then my mom took my car to the gym and Kristy, Tyler, Noah and I went to the mall. The most wonderful thing happened when we got there. They have these car carts and they are freaking 5 dollars to rent them...yeah, what a rip off huh? The last time we were there, he threw a HUGE fit because we didn't get him one. This time I came prepared with 5 ones. This woman comes walking up and says, "Here you can have ours, we're leaving." It was a double one even so Noah got to sit in it too! WOO HOO The lady looks at us and says, "Save your 5 dollars" We went and got pretzels and smoothies which were delicious and then Kristy went to Bath and Body works. Then she took the kids to the play area and I left her some quarters and a dollar to keep them occupied while I went to the motherhood maternity store! I was so excited to go and they had lots of stuff on sale. I had like 6 things in the dressing room with me. I got about half way through my stuff and I get a text message from Kristy that reads, "Must leave ASAP. Jon's in the ER" What the heck?! So I grab my stuff because I wanted to buy two of the things I had tried on and right as I am paying she comes with the kids and says, "Jon got attacked my a dog!" So I didn't get to even try on a couple of things. Hopefully I can go back soon and they will still have my sizes!
So yeah, poor Jon got attacked by a dog. It was injured and he was trying to help it and he got bit. Then he tried to pull it off of him and it turned and bit his other hand and arm. The second one was deep and hit his bone and he started to feel like he was going to pass out. SO he called in for help and by the time they got to him he was passed out in his truck! Oh dear...
So any ways, I REALLY need to go to bed but I will finish posting the pictures first.
Jim and Penny brought over Brownies and set them on the table. My mom came in and said, "You need to take a picture of Tyler" So I go into the kitchen and find him just staring at them on the table! haha My little fatty
Here is Tyler on my parents bed. He was playing with grandma. I loved the way his face looked in this picture the best but it looks like my mom is strangling him! haha I decided I'd post it any ways.
Any ways...I'll explain the pictures as I go along. Oh and let me ask a question just because I wonder what y'all think ( oh and for those who read this who don't have a blogger account, your aloud to comment too! I promise! ) I was just curious for my 365 project, sometimes I have someone take a pictures for me...do you think this still counts as my picture for the day? Just curious, I have a timer and I would for SURE count it if I put the timer on and took one but what about if I say, "Here Kristy take a picture for me?" I know it's my project and I can do whatever the heck I want, but I was just wondering what y'all thought...okay on to the pictures

I told him he could pick a toy and thats what he picked so I figured who cares if we already had one, especially since at the time I didn't know where the other one was. Then Noah came over and found the one he hid so we had two of them out. Tyler kept saying, "Oh momma you wear it!" and then would put it on my head. If I took it off he would get mad and put it back on so I had Kristy take a picture.
Now I need to back track. Monday was awful! For those of you in Texas who are reading this, I would have SHOT myself if this had happened to us there! haha My mom and dad's power went out a little after 8 in the morning. At first it wasn't so bad. Tyler's DVD player was charged and it wasn't that hot yet. It just so happened to be on a morning where my head was POUNDING and I could barely get off of the couch. That didn't really help at all. Finally around 10 or so Cody called me and as we were talking I managed to get up and eat something. What a difference that made. My head was still hurting but not throbbing. I started to get dressed and Tyler said, "Let's go shopping momma" It took me a half an hour or so to get him and I ready but by this time the house was starting to get hot. I called Kristy to see if they wanted to go with us and she informed me that their power had already come back on. I figured it would be no time at all before ours would be restored too.
We get in the car and drive to the dollar store. That's when we bought the second helmet. I also bought some Tylenol to keep in my purse for emergencies. For a dollar, I get 8 pills...not too bad actually and it was the extra strength kind. WOO HOO We start to walk out of the store and Tyler says, "Okay let's go home momma" I look at him and say, "You don't want to go to the red car store?" Which for those who don't know, that means the grocery store. They have the car carts for the little kids which makes shopping SO WORTH it ( even know their prices are a little more then walmart ) Tyler will sit in the cart and play the whole time I shop usually. He informs me that he wants to go home. I asked him about 5 times and every time he said, "No let's go home momma" Go figure! I was going to buy a bag or two of ice to stick in the fridge so that everything didn't go bad.
We get into the car and I remember that I was going to have tacos for lunch which were left overs from Sunday dinner and required the stove and the microwave, BOTH thins I can't use with no power. Then I start thinking about other things I could make and basically I was screwed. Then I remembered the Little Cesar's Pizza right across the street. SWEET! I go get some crazy bread, some sauce to dip it in ( which was almost 2 dollars!!!! ) and a large pizza. As I start to drive home thinking, "I am sure the power is back now since Kristy's came on two hours ago" I start to notice that all the water falls along the way are not running! CRAP! Which I said out loud and Tyler of course heard and repeated several times in the back seat after I told him not too! I pull into the drive up and open the door and NO SUCH LUCK! It was getting pretty hot too. I was talking to Cody on the phone and without even thinking I opened the microwave up to heat up the sauce because it was really cold and remembered I couldn't use it! DOH!
Man, I just noticed the time so I better speed things up here...We ate lunch and by this time I forgot to mention that TYler's DVD player had run out of battery right before we went shopping, he brought it with us in the car any ways out of habit even though I told him it wasn't working. "I need to plug it in Momma" he kept saying. How do you explain no power to a 2 year old? I realized my lap top had a full battery and played DVD's which seemed like a brilliant plan at the time and it was. Until today when Tyler said, "I want to watch Monsters Inc on computer momma." Crap again!
We went down for naps even though by this time it was 90 degrees in the house. Some of you are probably thinking, "Why didn't she just go to Kristy's house?" Well, Jon hadn't been feeling well and I didn't know if it was contagious or not and seeing as how I am pregnant and Tyler is little, I didn't want to chance it.
SO, Tyler actually feel asleep pretty quick, as did I for like 20 whole minutes. i woke up with my head hurting again and covered in sweat. GROSS! Tyler slept for an hour. he was wearing just his diaper but he always sleeps with his blue blanket and was covered in sweat. I woke him up after an hour because he was so hot. At this point it was almost 4 in the afternoon. The stuff in the freezer was melting and Jon was at work, so we took the frozen stuff to Kristy's and stuck it in her freezer and then my mom took my car to the gym and Kristy, Tyler, Noah and I went to the mall. The most wonderful thing happened when we got there. They have these car carts and they are freaking 5 dollars to rent them...yeah, what a rip off huh? The last time we were there, he threw a HUGE fit because we didn't get him one. This time I came prepared with 5 ones. This woman comes walking up and says, "Here you can have ours, we're leaving." It was a double one even so Noah got to sit in it too! WOO HOO The lady looks at us and says, "Save your 5 dollars" We went and got pretzels and smoothies which were delicious and then Kristy went to Bath and Body works. Then she took the kids to the play area and I left her some quarters and a dollar to keep them occupied while I went to the motherhood maternity store! I was so excited to go and they had lots of stuff on sale. I had like 6 things in the dressing room with me. I got about half way through my stuff and I get a text message from Kristy that reads, "Must leave ASAP. Jon's in the ER" What the heck?! So I grab my stuff because I wanted to buy two of the things I had tried on and right as I am paying she comes with the kids and says, "Jon got attacked my a dog!" So I didn't get to even try on a couple of things. Hopefully I can go back soon and they will still have my sizes!
So yeah, poor Jon got attacked by a dog. It was injured and he was trying to help it and he got bit. Then he tried to pull it off of him and it turned and bit his other hand and arm. The second one was deep and hit his bone and he started to feel like he was going to pass out. SO he called in for help and by the time they got to him he was passed out in his truck! Oh dear...
So any ways, I REALLY need to go to bed but I will finish posting the pictures first.
Jim and Penny brought over Brownies and set them on the table. My mom came in and said, "You need to take a picture of Tyler" So I go into the kitchen and find him just staring at them on the table! haha My little fatty
Here is Tyler on my parents bed. He was playing with grandma. I loved the way his face looked in this picture the best but it looks like my mom is strangling him! haha I decided I'd post it any ways.

Weekend fun
This friday we drove up to Cedar City to visit Cody's parents. We had some drama with my car, long story short, I needed new tires and they didn't have the ones we wanted, but Cody's dad got it all taken care of. What a great father in law! He ran around for an hour or two on friday trying to fix things and then again then next day for 2 or 3 hours. Today is actually his birthday and I felt bad having him running around doing things for me the day before his birthday.
Any ways. Tyler threw lots of fits Friday too which was too bad. I tried to get him to take a nap but he was so excited to be at Papa and Nana's that it didn't go over very well. After "naps" we went to Walmart and he threw a big fit when we were leaving. We got to the car and I thought the fit was over. Then I tried to put him in the car in his car seat and he started screaming and kicking and stuff. After about two minutes of trying to hold him down I managed to get his car seat buckled and then into the drivers seat. I turned around to say something to Cody's mom and I noticed Tyler's eye was bright red. Yeah, I clawed him in the struggle. Look at how bad it looks
See how it's not even just one scratch, it's three or four. I got him GOOD! Cody's mom said, "Well, it's his fault for throwing a fit!" haha And I knew this but every time I would look at him I would see his eye and just feel awful.
Later on Friday night, Cody's dad and I took Tyler to a playground that was literately across the street from their house. Here is another picture.
See, the house? I didn't zoom in at all. yeah, I want a house THAT close to a cool play ground. PLUS, this playground is so close to the mountain that all the pictures I was taken of Tyler had this gorgeous background. There is a stream going through it and its just so pretty. Here are some of those pictures.
The next day we hung out with my sister in law and her kids. Tyler loved his cousins Ella. She was very nice to him. he copied everything she said and did and went every where she went. Thank goodness she didn't get tired of him. Here are some pictures of them playing together.
I'll post more later. I took tons.
