Happy Home Hair

2.22.11

Tynan didn't want us to snap a picture of his home haircut. He watched me cut Daddy's hair and then climbed up in the chair and sat still for quite a while. He's getting better with these trims. (Yay!)

What our house REALLY looks like

2.20.11

I had to take a picture after the 2-year-old-tornado blew through. (It does that pretty often!)

Floor Time

2.6.11

Ah, tantrums.

Family in Town

1.30.11

Tynan's cousin Aubryanna had a cheerleading event in town. So Aunt Surae, Grandma Doreen, and 3 of Tynan's cousins came for a visit. The visit involved lots of snacking, playing, shopping, repeat viewings of Despicable Me, and even a fire drill at the mall. Tynan had a blast!

Proud Mommy

1.9.11

There are moments in parenthood when everything feels like it is all finally coming together and all your hard work and fatigue is totally worth it. Take this day, for instance. Here Tynan fashioned a very large firearm from Legos, entirely on his own, and ran around the house with no pants on shouting, "Bam bam bam!" as he fired at furniture, appliances, and family members. I'm not sure I can properly convey the feelings I felt swelling in my breast. Partly because the words I might use would be instantly repeated in public and other awesomely inappropriate places, like Tynan's Christian daycare. -sigh-

More naptime woes

1.3.11

Not much to say here...

Christmas

12.25.10

More wrapping paper confetti! Tynan got so many toys I can't even remember them all. Wouldn't it be cool to be entertained by almost anything?

Ah, presents

Tynan got to open presents on three separate occasions this Christmas. (Spoiled, what?) And Mommy got to clean up wrapping paper confetti. Yay!

Raisin' kids ain't that hard!

12.19.10

Parenting supplies:
- Roomy crate
- Padding
- Food
- A couple of empty boxes (no use spending money on toys - they like the boxes better!)
- Alcoholic beverages (for Mom and Dad only!)
Optional items:
- Clothes
- Diapers

Ah ha ha ha ha! No, but seriously, Tynan love love loved the dog crate. He spent the entire time we were at Grandma Wendy's locking the dog in the crate and/or crawling into the crate himself.

We would finally get him out and give him a distraction. Then we'd turn our heads for half a second and he'd be climbing in again!

Pictures with the Cousins

12.17.10

On this day Tynan sat for photos with his cousins. He was so good! I can't believe it! Especially since he absolutely refused to get his picture taken at daycare for their annual photo op. Silly boy!

He looked extra handsome with his haircut from Grandma Wendy. Thanks Gramma!
