Liz and Timmy's Wedding

9.25.10

Liz works in the lab where I work. Last year, Tynan and I went to her Halloween party and had loads of fun. On this day, she and Timmy had their wedding and reception at a beautiful barn. Tynan went wild! He really wanted to catch a chicken. I don't know what he planned to do when he caught one.


We were a little bit late arriving, so this is the only picture I got of the ceremony. D'oh!

Liz's wedding photographer took this picture, and Liz was so sweet to send it to me. I love it!

Bath Burrito!

9.24.10

Tynan likes to be wrapped up and cuddled after his bath. We call it his burrito time.

Drive Home

8.25.10

Tynan got a little crabby on the drive home. (What, my kid?) Cheetos helped out enough to make me overlook the orange mess in the back seat.

Quick Trip

8.22.10
The day after the zoo, we drove to see family. Tynan's great aunt and uncle were in the states from England. I realized later that we forgot to get any pictures of them. I felt terrible! But anyway, here is Tynan practicing yoga with his cousin Aubryanna. Silly kids!

Tynan and Aubryanna colored with Grandma Doreen. I love this picture because Tynan is so intent.

Tigers

8.21.10
Here is Tynan with Christy at the lion's den at the zoo. Tynan insists on calling them tigers. Silly boy!


Here is Tynan in the treehouse. We have a picture of him in the treehouse when he was about 7 months old. I think it is posted on the blog for April 09. (I can't put it in this post right now because it's on the external hard drive and I'm being lazy and don't want to find the external hard drive, hook it up, upload the picture, or move the picture around in the post. I just got off work after a 10 hour shift and that sounds way too hard right now!)


Tynan was afraid to sit in the car alone, so Christy got in with him. Silly boy!

He loved riding the tigers!

He really liked feeding the goats and sheep. I was so happy because he wasn't afraid of them this time. There was a pregnant goat that kept butting the other animals aside to get to us.

I haven't posted in quite a while. It seems like things are so hectic! I have a milestone birthday coming up, a friend just got married and we attended the wedding and bachelorette party and bridal shower, I went to my first concert in three years, and we've all had various assorted dental work and illnesses and work meetings going on. Plus, I've been knitting all year, and here it is less than 3 months before Christmas and my pile of completed knit gifts is woefully small. Gaaah! Things are insane!

The Best Toys Aren't Toys

8.3.10

Mommy and Daddy decided that it was time for a new TV. Then the new TV wouldn't fit in the old entertainment center so the only thing left to do was get a new TV stand, of course! Daddy worked on assembling it all day (and did a pretty good job of it too, thanks hon!). Things hadn't been moved into it yet, though, so Tynan decided it was his own personal playground and dining area. He was having so much fun climbing through it that he was all hot and sweaty. He was very angry when we got the electronics into it and locked the cupboards.

He loves his rice cakes.

Park 'n' Burgers

8.1.10

Daddy just had his birthday the other day, so we went to the park and out to eat to celebrate. Daddy and Tynan got to try out the enormous kid swings. Tynan thought it was pretty funny that Daddy didn't fit.

Here is stinker butt at the restaurant. We're pretty sure we can't go out to eat anymore because someone refuses to sit in a high chair or booster seat. Or even to sit!

Letter Factory

7.30.10

I bought a Leap Frog DVD for Tynan and he was absolutely enthralled! His enunciation seems to be getting clearer too. Which should be good but might be bad. . . Wink wink!

Produce Thief

7.18.10

Tynan has been known to take a bite out of every apple while I am unloading the rest of the grocery bags. Placing the bag up high didn't seem to faze him either. . .

He keeps getting taller too!

Age 2 Celebration #2

7.11.10

We celebrated Tynan's birthday for the 2nd time on the day after his real birthday. . . Cause that's just how it worked out! I figured he couldn't be too angry - he got 2 birthday parties, after all! Here is Tynan in the pool in the back yard (our pool is not as big as Grandma Wendy & Grandpa Eric's!) fresh after a repeat sunscreen application. He was in that pool for so long he was a little raisin when he finally came out. Grandma Doreen, Grandpa Bob, and Great Aunt Lynn all came to town for the weekend. Tynan kept pulling people into the pool with him. It was a very hot day, but there just isn't enough room for 3 people in a kiddie pool.


Later we grilled lots of, ahem, super healthy food. Here is Tynan eating his cheeseburger. He absolutely refuses to sit in his high chair now. Stinker.


Here is Tynan clapping after he blew out his candle (with a little help, of course). He still didn't know what the whole birthday song was all about.

Tynan got to open more presents. One of the things he got was his own little tool set. Maybe now he can stop stealing Daddy's tools!

This kid is so funny. He pulled out the screwdriver from his brand new, freshly opened tool kit and used it to open his next present. Good thing that screwdriver is made out of plastic. I shudder to think of the damage he could accomplish with the real thing!
