The Ty Guy

I had to get a few things on video that we think are pretty cute.

Why?

Why is this what I see when looking out my window today? ... I think I'm going to cry.

An over load... for lack of blogging

I've been slacking in my blog updates these last few weeks so sorry about the chaos of events. To say the least we are happy and healthy and having a good time.

Ty's favorite place to play and hide these days is in the pantry... especially with his BFF Sophie... here he is getting his smooch on... what two little cuties.

A few weekends ago we went up to Strawberry for a little snowmobiling and a lot of fun sledding. Call me a kid but there's nothing more fun then find a great sledding hill to plow down.

Drew and Ty

And... the newest member of our family... Paxton Pearson. Drew's oldest brother Preston just had their fourth child last week and he looks so much like Drew's father. He's a sweet little man.

While Drew was out of town in Vegas my friend Shauna and her little man Boston came and stayed with us for a few days. We had a great time hanging out, going out and taking the kiddos to the park and Jungle Gyms... this fun place for little kids to ride rides. I needed at least another week with her!

And... we had fun watching cousins Isabel and Colton for a few days while their parents went out of town. Here they are with Ty and friends Bree and Sophie having a movie night together at our place. They stayed still like this for like two seconds... but it was fun.

Oh... this is fun... Drew was in Vegas for a week to watch the Mountain West Tourni. He was picked to shoot baskets during half time of the BYU vs Vegas game and made all five shots... he won $500... what a stud. Our friend Tom was awesome enough to record it with his phone so I got to see it!!

I watched a women die in the Target parking lot this afternoon. The trunk to her car still open with a few groceries loaded and a few still in her cart. Firemen were the first ones to arrive to try and revive her still collapsed body caused from what looked like a heart attack or something to it's equal. As they stripped her of her clothes and performed CPR I was left in shock and sadness. The ambulance arrived a few minutes later but it was to late. The feelings of grief haven't left me since and have kept me from sleep. I am so grateful for the loved ones that surround me. It scares me to know that life can be taken in just a few moments and so unexpected. I need not take for granted every minute I have here on earth to live and cherish the blessings in my life... my husband, son, family, and friends. I have so much gratitude for my Savior to know that we can live with those that we love again in the life here after.

Spring is approaching...

The weather is finally starting to warm up and I love being able to go outside and play with the Ty guy. I discovered yesterday that he can play on the playground all by himself!! ...such a big boy... he doesn't even need my help turning around to go down the slide.

Ty LOVES playing basketball. ...and look how muddy it is! He tries to shoot the ball in the basket it's really cute. Every time we pull up to our house he starts screaming "BaBiBalll!! BaBiBall!!" ...Drew couldn't be more thrilled and proud.

We got to watch our neighbor and friend Bree learn how to ride her bike without training wheels!!
The skateboard is out again!

Here's Ty trying to make a basket.

Here's Ty again... and all of us hanging out in the ally on our first warm day in a long while!

Oh Spring I hope you come and STAY very soon!

Disneyland

We went on the California Screamin' 4 times... Drew new right where the camera was and would make funny faces every time.






I just love my husband... he is so funny.
My parents wanted my sisters to experience Disneyland but weren't really wanting to go themselves... so I got lucky and they paid for me to take them. I talked Drew into coming with us and we had a blast. Sadly we left the little Ty guy at home. I was so unsure about leaving him... and now that I did... I'm really glad cause he would have been to young to go on most of the rides any way. When he reaches 42" we'll have to take him back.

Man I haven't had this much nonstop fun in a really long time. My legs and feet were aching with all the walking and I didn't care... we'd run to the next ride. I can't wait to go again... I'm having withdrawals! It really is magical!

Bear Lake Fun

Ty just wanted to play in the snow ... it was cute. He loved it when you'd drag him around by his feet.
Mindy and Colton
Brandon and Colton

We spent the weekend up at Drew's grandma's condo in Bear Lake. We went last year with the whole family and had a great time with snowmobiles and sledding... this year Brandon (Drew's Brother) and Mindy and their two kids were the only ones who could go. So we left the snowmobiles and just brought the tubes and sleds. We had a great time. We missed having Craig there to pick us up at the bottom of the hill!

Here are the kids on way too much sugar jumping on the beds. ...Uhhh don't you love the 70's decor and the awesome wall paper! I love going up there.
