It is merely a flesh wound

So Monday morning Tyrone woke up and had this great day planned. He was going to go collect pop cans (we are poor so we are doing what poor people do...haha:), seminary preparation, finish up spanish, and then he would hang out with my son and I for the rest of the day. Well he got up around 6ish, and told me that he was going out to collect some cans. I am not inherant of the Petty genes, and I do not like to wake up any earlier than I have to. So I said ok have fun, and went back to sleep. Around 7:30 Tyrone comes in asking for some hydrogen proxide, and I asked him what did he need it for. And he said, " I was walking along the edge of the wash along the back of the houses and I ran into some rebar". So needless to say after we talked for a while we decided that he was not up to date on his tetanus shots, and that we would have to go into the urgent care and get a shot. So with our baby not dressed and not fed we dropped him off at grandmas and headed to the ugent care. They told us that if we just wanted the tetanus shot it was going to be 77 dollars, and like we could pay 77 dollars for a shot... so we said we would see the doctor. They cleaned him up and now he has a pretty good battle wound. We are so greatful for all of his sacrifice. Even though no money was probably made from the pop cans he did collect.

All most camping

On Friday we went all most camping... it is my mom's favorite type of camping because you don't have to sleep out in the wilderness. We had some really yummy food, my personal favorite dutch oven chicken in this really good gravy. It brought me back to the memories of going up to my uncle's cabin. We also went on a little hike and just enjoyed the great outdoors. Let us just say that Ty-kell enjoyed the yummy dirt... I know some of you pregnant woment would agree. It was a lot of fun and Ty-kell just loves the outdoors. I wish we lived somewhere a little cooler so I could take him outside more... without feeling that my poor baby is cooking.

Party

We had a birthday party for Ty-kell and 30 people came to his little get togeter. It was a lot of fun. Tyrone and I don't have a lot of money so we had to do his party at the littlest expense possible so we made a train station out of free cardboard, and if I do say so myself it turned out really cool. Tyrone made a rocking train for Ty-kell. And he got a lot of really cool gifts. I made and designed the train cake and I am a little proud of it... over all I think it was a great success... I just wish more of my family could of been there. I miss you guys.

Being One!

IM ONE!!!

Today my sweet boy turned one at 3:17... I can not believe that it has been a whole year. Looking back at all those silly pictures and how hard it has been. I can't help but tear up and wish we were all back to the begining. It really does all go way to fast. You know the country song "You're gonna miss this" well I already am. So as of today Ty-kell is crawling like a little torpedo... he does not yet walk, but some day he will. And when he does we all better watch out becuase he is going to be running. He has 6 teeth... 4 on top, and 2 on the bottom. He knows words like dad, mom, shoes, doctor, and just today he said his uncle's name Chad. He is such a happy boy, and his smiles warm my heart. He has a ton of curly turning blonde hair. His favorite things to do is pick at things, push buttons, and sharing. He is such a blessing in our life, and I am not ready for my sweet boy to grow up... but as the years go on he will so we will just enjoy these moments. Today for his birthday we took him to the zoo. He loves to look at all the animals.

The World's Most Famous...

The World's Most Famous sandwhich is of course PB&J. And Ty-kell finally got to partake of this ooie goodness. He thouroughly enjoyed every last bite!

This is my yummy sandwhich!

All done and very stuffed!

So...

So... I am not trying to be a slacker on my new resolution, but our camera has been out of batteries, and nothing seems "blog worthy". So I have decided to let a little insight on how I feel about being a mom. Last night was boys night, and I was home all alone. Laying there awake I was thinking about my boys. I thought even though it is hard (and on bad days I just want to ship my little boy off to the farthest away boarding school) being a mom. I still missed him a lot when he is gone. I really like being a mom but I wouldn't say that it is the funnest job in the world. Cleaning up the same mess day after day, and for some reason the laundry never changes, only during the week when it keeps getting higher and higher. But I know that this purpose is greater than me, and I am trying my hardest to enjoy the moments I have to teach Ty-kell all that he needs to know to be in this big world.

New July 4th resolution

So, I decided that for a 4th of July resolution I am going to keep up on my blog. I have gotten so far behind so I am going to update and then I am going to keep up on it. I take pictures so I can blog, but I always forget to blog. So here is a little update on what we have done. Ty-kell my all boy loves to help his grandpa do everything, and frankly I think it is more fun for grandpa. So our bathroom toliet started leaking, and my dad went in to fix it, and not even two minute later there was our son cleaning the tools, and helping grandpa fix a toliet. I am very greatful that we are here, and that my dad loves to teach my son all of the projects around the house. Yesterday he taught him how to clean the bathroom. Last sunday it was Mar-kell's birthday celbration. We all had a lot of fun. Tyrone and I made him a quilt. Later the girls were playing on the floor with Ty-kell and he thought they jacks that they were playing with was a great thing to stick in his mouth he looked adorable. My brother also came into town we went to the zoo, I don't have pictures because my computer is being theiveful. But Ty-kell got to feed the giraffes he thought that was so fun. Then on monday we went to the children's museaum on Monday because it is only a dollar until Labor day I think. It was so much fun. Ty-kell and his dad had a blast. It was fun watching him explore. We are bad parents and we didn't get any pictures of Ty-kell first 4th of July but it was a lot of good feastive food, and spending time with both grandparents. We also had a spa night... we all got pedicures facials and out eyebrows waxed it was a lot of fun. When Ty-kell gets hungry as you can see he helps himself.
