Circus is CLOSED!

So for the last few it days it has been runny noses and sore throats. Everyone in the Circus is sick. As we are enjoying the perks of being sick, haha... we have been having fun.

Cake Time

So today Tyrone and I are going to spend some time with our friends Adam and April. I said I would do desert and a salad. We are all trying to lose a few pounds so I decided to do angel food cake because it is delious and fat free. I told Ty-kell he could help me. My mom had bought some approns for little kids a little while ago so I put an apron on him and we made an Angel food cake... I didn't get a picture of the cake but it turned out wonderful.... and it was a lot of fun. Plus Ty-kell just looks so cute. I couldn't get him to just stand there so he is walking toward me and when he walks he has to have both hands up in the air like a chimp. oh, well.

Cooling off anyone?

Well us in Arizona are all wishing that fall weather would begin, but I gues we can still enjoy the summer weather. I know it is September, and my son and his cousin are out playing in a pool but yeah if you're going to live in Arizona enjoy it. So we went grocery shopping the other day and all their summer stuff was like half off, so my mom bought a pool for Ty-kell and Sophie to play in they had a blast. They both thought it was the coolest thing to go down the slide and plant their faces in the water. It was funny to watch them slippin' around. They both had on regular diapers, and so they gained a few pounds. It was hard for them to get around the pool. Needless to say we have bought swimming diapers for them, and it is a lot easier.

We may have a prod...

In the movie August Rush, the little boy meets a girl who teaches him a few notes. And when she returns from school he has composed music. She goes to the preist and says that she found a prod. Well what she meant was that she found a prodagee. So I think we may have another prod in the family. Ty-kell has always loved music and we try to be very encouraging to him playing music.... so maybe he will be like his aunt Shantell and be a prod.

Circus Life...

Well our crazy life has started again...but this semester it is a blessing because it is not going to be as crazy as the previous semesters. Tyrone is taking 18 credits, and is super busy with seminary. He is completly loving seminary, and enjoying all the time he gets to spend in the scriptures. We are so proud of him. Ty-kell is starting to take some steps, but our little daredevil is not venturing out to full out walking oh, well one of these days he will take off. I guess that is a great way to lose some weight is chasing after a one year old.The great thing about our circus life is there are no stinky animals and no hot tent. I love our life.

"A Spoon Full of Sugar"

Okay so I am accepting my sister's challenge, and I am going to let everyone know what my "Spoon Full of Sugar" is. In life sometimes it feels like there is more medicine then there is sugar. And everyone knows if you eat sugar then it just goes straight to your bum. So here is my sugar that I hope isn't going to my bum.

1. My early morning (very early) snuggles with my husband.
2. Daddy coming home.
3. After nap snuggles with Ty-kell.
4. Kisses and hugs.
5. Ty-kell's giggle.

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.
