Camping!

We have been camping a few times this last month. We sold our pop up trailer and bought a Polaris Ranger. Its way more fun to go off and explore as a family. We went back to tent camping, which is nice, but the heat doesnt stay in a tent at all, so its cold, but Scott did a great job getting 73 blankets to keep us warm.
When we went a few weeks ago, I twisted my ankle, and this last time I did it again but much worse. Its purple and green, and swollen. Pretty rough. But besides the ankle we had a great time up north of Payson, before Pine. The place we go is by running water, and on warm days the kids like to splash around in it. I started school on Monday @ Pima Medical. I am going for their Occupational Therapy Assistant degree. Its 18 months, mon-thurs, 1-5. So far I am loving it, although I am afraid of the homework, and tests! yikes.
They are awesome instructors, and the class is so eager to learn. I better get ready now! But I didnt want to forget about posting a few pictures from our latest camping excursion!

 Dirty boy. He had so much fun this time. Its only gonna get better! He is almost grown out of his babiness.

 Our tent. It sleeps 10, but its perfect for 2 queen air mattresses and 4 bags of clothes! Its also nice Scott can stand up and walk around.

 Tyson is so rotten to Tux. He tries to ride him like a horse.

 We always bring the kids Power Wheels, they love riding around the forrest in it!

 This is the creek we camped by. So pretty!

He loves it so much.

I swear since he turned 2 he has become such a big boy. He is silly, goofy, brave, & funny. Most of all he loves his blankie. LOVES it so much he jumps on the tramp with it. I love that boy!

Tyson is 2!!

I cant believe my baby is 2. I swear I remember his first cries in the delivery room. His blonde hair. His cute big lips. Now he is a toddler. He LOVES Toy Story. He would watch it all day every day if he could. I love that he will get his blankie and sit up on the couch all ready to watch his show, then tell me, 'yaya he hoo!" (his sound for Woody) We had a good birthday for him. We went camping with all of our friends the from Thursday till Sunday, then got home Sunday @ 12, got ready, cleaned the house, and ran to the store for our party @ 4. All our families came, Tyson got lots of sweet gifts. We are grateful for our loved ones. He had a special day. I love my witto mista!

Blankies

It all started with her "bok". Now its her blankie, but he loves his too. They both have two blankies they carry around everywhere. They get creative, and wear them as capes, put them on the ground and pretend they are stepping stones protecting their feet from hot lava. Tyson was wearing his around his waist today like a towel. They love to snuggle with their blankies, so anytime I want to snuggle, I grab their blankets, put them on my shoulder, and they both come snuggle. I had a blankie, and called it my 'b' (i think) and I still have it. Its torn to pieces, and I only have a little section, but I will be keeping these blankets for them forever.

Slip n Slide

We got out the slip n slide a week ago. The kids had so much fun~ It felt like the start of summer. We had the best weekend. We grocery shopped Thursday, and so Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all days spent at home. Saturdays we try to grill, and spend as much time in our backyard as possible. I love Tysons expression in the last picture. He had just woken up from his nap, and we were already playing with Libby, so he wasnt too sure about what we were up to. We got the slip n slide out last year, but he wouldnt remember that. So, after Dada pushed him to the end, his face leading up to it was not so happy. Once he got here though, he just smiled from ear to ear. It was a fun day. I love my family.

Tyson

When Tyson wants to wear his Superman shirt he says, "uh uh UH!" (if you could hear it, sounds like he wants to say, SUPER-MAN!) and when he wants to wear his Toy Story shirt, he points to Woody, and says, "odelay-hee-hoo" He says elbow, holly, dadda, mamma, sissy, dee(fly, he thinks flies are called bee's) he says, pop, nana, bubba, "bat tum" (bathtime) and I think thats about it. He shakes his head yes whenever you ask him anything he wants to do. He gives the sweetest kisses.
Thats all.

My babes....

Just some random photos for today. I love my babies.
