The monkey has now got a peanut...

So our little monkey Ty-kell has a little peanut. Today I had my first doctor's appointment, and we got an ultrasound. It was so much fun to see the little heartbeat. We have been telling Ty-kell that mommy has a baby in her tummy and when we ask him where is the baby he will point to my tummy. So when I got home and showed him the picture I told him that it was the baby and he got all excited and had to show his grandma. He gave the picture hugs and kisses. Ty-kell will be such a good big brother. I have a feeling that it is another boy, so hopefully Ty-kell will have his very own tackle buddy. So our little peanut is growing nice and big. We are all so excited. Oh, and my due date is May 31st! Whahooo! I am not as far a long as I thought I was but it is only a week.

African Safari

We live in Vail, AZ which means it is about 45 min to 1 hour to get anywhere so a lot of time Ty-kell will fall asleep in the car. I always feel so bad for his little neck it looks like it will just break right off. So I started searching on line to see if I could find a free pattern to make a neck pillow.

My mom actually found the pattern and the brillant lady said to find a stuffed animal to put at the end of it so that it would better support there bobbing head. I thought it was just adorable.

So of course we had to make more then one, so we made one for my nieces and nephew. I think that this little african safari is just too cute! The girls are the monkey and the hippo. I couldn't leave it just like that I had to put bows on it because hey girls have to have bows.

This is Ty-kell and daddy sporting the finish product. He loves it he already tries to put it around his neck.

This is a closer look at Parker's neck pillow.

The eensy weensy spider is back...

Ty-kell now knows all the actions to the eensy weensy spider. I cannot get him to do it on camera... though it is pretty darn cute. Ok so my parents are the heroes. Tyrone and I went on a date last night and my parents watched Ty-kell and they got the eensy weensy spider on camera.... so sit back and enjoy the show.

A day in the WILD...

So yesterday was free museum day.

My mother-in-law found out through her daughter's school that if you filled out this thing online you could go to a museum for free. It was a lot of fun. We went to the International Wildlife Museum. It was very cool to see all of the animals and we had a lot of fun. I only have a few pictures beacuse our camera died. After we met up with our friends Adam and April and then we went to another museum for free. It was call The Mini-Time Machine. It was really cool they had a ton of displays of mini's...it was fun. Then we went back to their house and played some games and then I went to the Relief Society broadcast. All in all it was a very busy day. And at the end of it we were all konked out like little babies.

Favorite Pass Time...

Our favorite pass time is when Ty-kell looks through his books he almost does it everyday. He loves book, and he will look through them forever. He will pull one book out look through it sometimes tell himself a story and the close it push it aside and then grab another book, and repeat. I am really hoping his love for books will continue. The funnest thing is he would rather do it himself then let me read to him. Though he does occationally let me read to him but at his own pace he is so funny that way.

Monday Night Wii

So for family home evening activity I wanted to bowl. For Ty-kell this was his first time bowling. It was so funny because when it wasn't his turn he would think it was so great and be doing it himself, and making the funniest sounds.


So this was the final score Ty-kell did really well for his first time.

We're Bananas and maybe a little bit nuts....

So I decided that I was going to make some banana nut bread and I have learned that if I just let Ty-kell help even though it is a messier process... it is a happier process.... So I choose happy. We started by Ty-kell showing the lovely bananas that we will be making banana nut bread with.Now it is time to mush the bananas... I thought I was pretty smart there put it in a bag so he can mash them less mess... haha. Now it is time to add all of the ingredients... Ty-kell thought he should hand mix them.
I am so glad that I had my product tester or things might not have turned out. Just to let you all know I am not a bad mom... Yes Ty-kell is in his pajamas but this is right when he woke up... I had to make banana bread right away beacuse I had jury duty.
