Myra

Or Myrrrrrrra as Tyler like to call her. He made her name about 5 syllables. I wanted to post some pictures from when she came to visit. Myra likes taking pictures too. IN fact, I have ALWAYS loved taking pictures, BUT she is probably one of the reasons I got into photography itself because she took classes in college and high school. So while she was here we went to go eat and do some shopping. After that we got some cold stone too! MMMMMMMMMMM! So I had here take some pictures of me and Tyler. Its nice because I NEVER get pictures of Tyler and I together. So here are some of them






Here are some pictures of Myra and Tyler. Some of these were us Eating ice cream and shopping, and some were of them here at the house playing together. Tyler had lots of fun with Aunt Myra.







A funny story really quick. Myra has heard over and over again how smart Tyler is. so she was reading a Wiggle's book with him. The first page had a dog on it and she said "What's that?" Tyler said, "A dingo!" Because the Wiggles are Australian and thats what the book says. So the next page was Koala bears and she said, "What's this?" Tyler looks at her and just smiles. So then she asks again. Finally she says, "It's a Koala bear" and Tyler says, "Oh good job Myra!" haha You can tell I give my kid lots of positive reinforcement.

BUSY

It seems like every time I go to update our blog somethings comes up! I actually started one yesterday and half way through it my sister got here and we started talking and I never finished it. That's one thing I don't like about blogger...on myspace I can set something to private until IO finish it if it doesn't get done right away. I haven't noticed where I can do that here. If I am retarded and just missed it, let me know. Again, this looks like it will be short because I am already getting side tracked. My best friend Myra came on Monday night and was here Tuesday and went home Wednesday. We mostly shopped and just hung out. I will post some pictures later. :) Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!

365 Week 4

I don't have as much time today but this week was supposed to be street signs since I was traveling. I didn't really get very many of them but I still took at least one picture every day this week. Some days I used other pictures, but I figured it's my project and I can do whatever I wanted as long as I WAS taking a picture everyday. So here we go...nothing too excited this week.

Day one



Okay this was funny because Tyler was having a hard time sharing with cousin Madison and we told them to sit at his Elmo table and Tyler ran over and sat right in the middle of BOTH chairs!

Day Two



This isn't a great picture but it just shows us on our way out of Texas.

Day Three



I was taking a picture of the stop sign and my camera shifted the focus at the last minute. I ended up liking the way it turned out so I decided to use it for this day. This was at the Painted Desert in Arizona.

Day Four



Colorado City....what more can I say?!

Day Five



This was the night I had to go the hospital and at about Tyler kept looking at grandma and saying, "Where's momma" and then he would say "Oh she's in the shower" SO at about 1 or 1:30 in the morning he looked my mom straight in the eye and said, "Where's my momma?" and she said, "She'll be back in a little bit Tyler" and he freaked out and started screaming! We got home about 2 and he had fallen asleep on grandma on the couh so I took a picture. :)

Day 6



Parents street sign. Our new home for the next 5 months.

Day 7



Tyler had these toys sitting on this mirror and I just thought it looked really cool. We didn't do much this day because I had started bleeding again and wanted to take it easy. No street sign then either. Oh well.

More

I don't really feel like writing which is unusual for me but I had some cute pictures I wanted to post. I know every parent thinks there kid is cute but its even funnier to hear my mom talk about Tyler. She told me the other day that, "Her kids were cute, but mine was REALLY cute." Or something to that effect. I thought that was funny. Any ways. I started bleeding again in the middle of the night so I decided not to go to church and to just stay home and relax. I spent a lot of the morning on the couch and then when my parents were both gone for church I took Tyler outside to play with his pool. He had fun then got kind of cranky! That's why in the one picture it looks like he is crying, he is! haha I took pictures of him whining too! Any ways. The first picture is of Ty and my dad at the playground the other day and the rest are from today. Enjoy and I hope everyone who reads this has a relaxing Sunday as well.

Grandma and Grandpa Shane

The first full day here we took Tyler to the park after we all had some naps. He had lots of fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa. Especially when Grandpa got him with the water fountain. I thought I would post some pictures.

Emergency room scare

Last night around 10 pm after talking to Cody on the internet I started bleeding. I think most people know that while pregnant ( especially only 8 weeks along ) that's bad! So my dad took me to the emergency room. After taking blood (I got poked about 10 times in my arm before they gave up and used my hand instead ) a sonogram and MUCH waiting around twiddling my thumbs, ( why do they only have magazines in the waiting room because I waited MUCH longer inside the actual hospital room? ) the baby was fine and they don't know why I am bleeding. I think the three days of traveling and eating at weird times and no sleep wore me out and my body was mad! What sucked was I didn't get to see the baby when they did the sonogram! I got to hear the heartbeat for a minute but the man doing the sonogram didn't even tell me it was the heart beat because he basically wasn't allowed to tell me anything until after the radiologist looks everything over. The suspense was awful! Even when I heard the heart beat I was telling myself, "Don't get excited, that might be YOUR heart you are hearing" even though the heart beat was much faster, I just didn't want to get my hopes up. As of right now I am still bleeding but it comes and goes and isn't really heavy. They basically told me that for now the baby is alive and healthy but bleeding is a bad sign and I still COULD miscarry so I am on "pelvic rest" haha The nurse said no sex for a while and my dad said, "Well, I am sure her husband who is in Iraq will be glad to hear she isn't allowed to have sex for a while!" haha For those who know my dad, even at 1 in the morning he is still a goof ball. So keep us in your prayers. Hopefully the bleeding will stop and all will be well. Today my mom stayed home from work to help me with Tyler and stuff. Poor Tyler was up until 12:30 or so so he is TIRED too. The doctor at the ER said he would call my doctor her in Utah and see if he can get me in to see her sooner. I didn't have an appointment until August 7th so cross your fingers that I will get in sooner then that! I am off to go rest my pelvis now...

Beware: Lots of pictures

So here are a million pictures from our drive to Utah. Some are while the car was still moving and some were taking after pulling off to the side. We also stopped at the Painted Desert in Arizona....wait! I think it was Arizona. It might have been New Mexico. Any ways. I will try and explain as I go and not just dump a bunch of pictures here. Hope you enjoy them. I think most of these ones turned out pretty good so I hope you enjoy them too!

The first group of pictures I took at the Painted Desert











The next group of pictures were taken while driving. You never know what your gonna get while driving and shooting...








And last but not least, the first night we were driving we had to drive through a storm ( in Texas imagine that! ) After we drove past it I saw these cool clouds and when we stopped to gas up I took some pictures. They look like the clouds I got a couple of years ago right after a tornado! I think there awesome. I don't know why I love clouds so much but I do! haha
