Garage Sales

I scored big time!! The red cabinet - 10 bucks. The black bench - 3 dollars. The blue storage things - 2 bucks (you can't see them very good). The box of yarn - 3 bucks. The shirt boxes - 2 bucks. The bag/purse thing - 1 buck. I think all the toys equaled 4 bucks. The snow boots 25 cents. I won't list every thing but, as you can see I got a ton of stuff for cheap! It was awesome.

I am glad my neighbor took me. I used to think garage sales were yucky and wonder why you would buy some strangers stuff. It is dirty and full of germs. But I thought about it and had a game plan.

I would go unshowered. Touch things. MAYBE buy something. And then come home and take a very long hot shower and bleach ANYTHING that I bought.

Well as you can see I had to use my game plan. But it was not nearly as yucky as I thought it would be. I didn't have to have a long hot shower. Just a normal shower and I didn't even use very much bleach. So it was GREAT! I will be going again!!

Update Overload

Ok so, I just posted like 5 posts. Sorry about the overload. We have been so busy this summer with work, family cookouts, family reunions, GOLF, and a little more GOLF, and sickness, teething, etc. The list could go on and on. So a quick update on us. I am still working both jobs and still drinking lots and lots of diet coke. That about sums it up. Eric is still working and is golfing when he isn't working. Tyson is growing so fast. He has one tooth. I think it is lonely. How much can a child eat with only one tooth? Well I can tell you. But I won't bore you. He just got over a sinus infection this past week. Really how many 1 year olds get sinus infections? He had an allergic reaction to the medicine the doc gave him so we had to get a new med on Sat. That was fun calling the call-a-nurse and the on call doctor. But that is a very long story so I will not bore you with that either. Let me just say I think I drank the most diet coke in my life that day. These posts should have been posted months ago. I apologize. I will do better with my blogging. I just hope blogger is nicer next time.

Helping Mom

Yes you get a picture of my BIG butt. I was trying to fold laundry one night and Tyson thought he would help out by throwing them all over the floor. Eric thought this was pretty funny and just had to take a few pictures. Since then I now fold laundry in the morning before Tyson wakes up or after he is asleep for the night. I had all the fun I can have this one time with picking up laundry off the floor 10 thousand times.

This Rocks

These pictures say enough about how excited he is to be in a front facing car seat!! (He has been in this car seat for well over a month I am just slow at posting! Sorry) Yes you get 2 of the same picture because blogger will not let me delete one of them sorry.

A way to your mama's heart by........

....drinking diet coke. AAAHHHHHH! Isn't that just so cute? I am teaching him what matters in life!

Piano Man

No Bishop he is not practicing to be the next ward piano player. Sorry!! He is practicing to make mom and dad lots of money one day through music. HA HA!! Eric put Tyson up to the piano one day and he sat there forever playing and laughing. Since then Tyson will crawl to the piano and try to climb up on the piano bench.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Better late than never right? Tyson turned 1 on the 9th. We had a great time. Eric and I took him to McDonalds and let him eat french fries until his heart was content! What a blast huh? Then on Sunday we celebrated with family. He got lots of fun presents and got to eat his cake. He liked about the first 5 bites but then was done with it. He really enjoyed his presents and playing with the paper and boxes. We could have saved money and just bought a roll of wrapping paper and found a box to give him and he would have been happy for hours but we thought he might want a few toys.

We took him for his 1 year check up and he is now 28 inches - 5 % centile and 19 pounds 15 ounces - 5 % centile. The doc was a little worried about his weight because he lost weight from when he was in there last. So, we go in August for a weight check and hopefully he has gained weight if so we are good but if not we aren't sure what the doctor will want to do. So, any ideas on how to fatten up a child we would gladly take the ideas.
