Jonathan's First Birthday

We can't believe that this kid is one already! We had a fun Seasame Street party at Chuparosa park with a splash pad. He loved getting wet and screaming with the kids! I can't believe how he is a little boy toddling around, screaming and demanding. What happened to my sweet baby? He still is sweet he just knows what he wants now and how to get it. When Ty tries to take a toy away from him he will just hang on for dear life and not let go. He won't be pushed around and holds his own with his older brother.

Croquet Fun

We had a great time playing croquet and the weather was perfect. Jeff, Ryan, Bart. Davey, Ashley and Scott gave Theron a run for his money! He better practice before the next tournament because the champ has some good competition.

See Ya Later Giraffe Boots!

Those of you who know Ty knows he has an obsession with his giraffe boots. He wants to wear them everywhere and usually gets away with it. He wore them to his 3 year Dr. appt. last summer and everyone complimented him and made a big deal about them so he thought that he should wear them all the time. They have served their purpose and have come in handy like when we go camping or go play in grandma's sand box. But they have had it and are starting to look trashy and have big holes in them. We were pleasantly surprised when the time came to get new ones. He wanted blue ones and picked them out and trashed the giraffe boots with out a problem. He always grabs his blue boots when I tell him to put his shoes on. He wore them to swim lessons the other day and I thought it was kinda cute.

Second Child

Ok so I admit that after our first child our germ phobia is completely gone! Jonathan is a little vacuum cleaner. He eats stuff off the floor and gets into who knows what! I was unloading groceries the other day and he crawled into the garage and somehow got oil smudges all over his face and clothes. He is one active little baby and keeps us on our toes! It is funny now because when he knows that he is doing something wrong (like getting into the trash) he will look around to see if someone is going to stop him.















I love this picture of Ty! He looks like he always does....mischievious and full of energy. I like to call him "spirited."

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

A couple of weeks ago there was a perfect day for flying kites. It was not too windy and sunny....perfect. Theron hurried home from work and grabbed Ty and and the kite and headed over to the park right by our house. I couldn't tell who was more excited, Theron or Ty. He is just like a big kid sometimes. Jonathan and I joined later and I got to take a turn. There is something so soothing and relaxing about flying a kite. I love the picture of Ty all tangled up in the kite string.

Amy's Wedding

Amy and Davey's wedding was beautiful. Everything looked great and there was so much attention to detail. I loved Amy's dress-it was unique and looked gorgeous. It turned out to be a very fun day with the trolley and photo booth. Great ideas! Timothy and Ty got a little tired on the trolley ride and started sucking their thumbs. It's great to have someone else have the same habit! Ty wants to know when he will get married in the temple with Eleanor. Sorry buddy-she's your cousin...
