Tyler's Hiking Trip!

Tyler got to go on a hiking trip with a buddy of his and his friends and some family. Obviously I wasn't there,so I have nothing to write about it, so we will let the pictures do the talking. He took well over 200 pictures, so I just picked a handful for him. I think it's safe to say he had a great weekend!

Amazing Mural...

...Done by my amazing husband! We have been working on updating Zach's room to a big boy room! We are almost done, I just need a new bed spread and rug and some more painting as the weeks go by, but for now Tyler finished the massive part of the mural! Way to go hun! I'll post a another picture of the whole room when it is closer to finished!

Lately...

We found some slithering friends at grandma's and kept them as pets...but mom only let me keep them for about a day... (June 10th)Tyler and I celebrated 4 wonderful years of marriage here...
And ate this at Firehouse Pies.....yum yum!

On May 28th I celebrated my 23rd Birthday (neither of us could remember how old I was hence the beautiful poster I woke up to)
I had a wonderful care-free day of shopping with my Mama and with Tyler, and then enjoed a free dinner at the Cheesecake FActory! We did alot of this...

And of course this..(Tyler stops up the drains at this water park to make a mini pool..haha)

We modeled with our fake dog friend at Old Navy while mom tried to shop We got to go to the lake with friends and have my first tubing experience!

Tyler: "Zach is this fun?"

Zach: "Yeah! Daddy I scared!"

(he lasted a good 5 minutes)

Can't get enough of water time!

Despite the heat I still can't resist a little of this.. We went to the dock a lot and did this...And mama caught this!

We ventured down to San Antonio and hung by the pool..

And saw a lot of these...ya know...in the neighbors yard..
By the end of each day (ok maybe every other if mom was feeling lazy) I got to do this and give my duckies a ride on their boat! And then by the end of every week I was a good boy and went to church!

Tyler's Latest

Last Night:

Tyler rolls over me, puts both arms tight around me and says in a very confident heroic voice:

"I AM SUPERMAN...(fake laugh) ha ha...ok no, I'm not. But I am THE BEST OF THE BEST! And I WILL save you! There isn't anything I can't do, and I will figure this out!"

He continued to talk very clearly for the next few minutes, I tried so hard to remember the rest, but I forgot it when I woke this morning.

It was pretty hilarious though. I was really relieved when the first words were "I am superman" because as hard as he was holding me I was worried I might have been some villain in his dream and he was getting ready to get rid of me...because one time that did happen...and it wasn't so funny...well now it is! haha

Birthday Man!

Tyler's 26th birthday was yesterday! Sunday birthdays aren't always the best so we celebrated on Saturday too! We went to Spring Creek for dinner and then off to Fry's we went! Boy heaven! We spent a couple of hours I think, and he had plenty of birthday money to spend, but sadly he didn't find anything he wanted, doesn't that always happen though? You have the money-you don't want anything-you don't have the money-you want everything! Anway, then we were going to go watch a movie but there are no good movies out..so instead we went home had some ice cream and chilaxed! Then on Sunday I made him some cinnamon rolls for breakfast and we had faijitas for dinner! We hung out with his whole family, grandma and grandpa and some good friends and had a great day and night.

My cutie-pie : )

This is my first ever ice cream cake (with some yummy strawberries I dipped! because he loves those!) I made for Tyler! I think it turned out pretty good. Next time I will try to make the cake part a little moister and try to shove more ice cream in! But it was yummy!

Ps: I promise Halloween Pictures soon..our camera was lost that night so I don't have pictures so I have to collect from everybody else!

3 Wonderful Years and Counting!

Tyler and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on June 10! We have had a really wonderful 3 years and are looking forward for the years to come! Tyler took me to Rafains for dinner and got me a dozen beautiful red roses! The food was delicious but almost made us go bankrupt...haha totally worth it...we just won't be doing it again for another 10 years...We had to do our typical car shot!

Fathers Day

Happy Late Fathers Day to everyone!! I think Ty had a good day...we had a good time at both our parents house with lots of scrumptious foods! And I love my dad a ton and I am so glad he is my dad and that I get to live close to him because he is amazing and I love him pcbqs (don't ask..something we made up when I was real little) And I am so proud of Tyler and what a incredible father he has become! Love ya babe!

Frosty the Snow Man...

Isn't he cute?? I have been waiting for it to snow this winter!! We always have at least one snow day! And this snow..was nice and fluffy beleive it or not (Utah and Idaho people I don't want to hear it! It was fluffy for texas snow!) So of coarse we had to build a snow man..even though it was like 10 at night!! It is over 6ft tall! Let the good times roll.....

Sick Duckling

What in the world is going around! Zach finally got better from being sick after Christmas..and then BAM...he gets sick again! Last week his fever got up to 104.7! He was so sick and I could tell he was soo miserable...it just broke my heart. He could hardly breath, he wouldn't sleep at night, he kept getting the chills and his whole body would shiver including his lil lip that was truely purple, and he was so lathargic..it was sad. We don't have health insurance for him still so I kept hesitating taking him to the doc. hoping it would just pass...and with a blessing, it did...or for a couple days anyway. Just last night his fever came back, his nose completely stopped up again and of coarse no sleeping at night again. He has actually been happy this morning (thank goodness) but his nose has nasty crusties like crazy!

On another note....I need some serious tips. Zach is a horrible nap taker. How in the world do I make him better at naps? Ocassionally I can put him down and he might cry for like 5 min and fall asleep...but only stay asleep for like 30 min! And other days I have to just go on car rides so I can get some peace and quiet! He is not one to cry himself to sleep for a nap, if it takes longer than five minutes it won't happen...I've tried...and then it just makes everything worse! One time I let him cry and after an hour he fell asleep...for ONLY 20 min! So I let him cry more thinking he would fall back to sleep...negative. So any helpful tips would be appreciated. He does sleep wonderfully at night (when he is not sick) He gets about 10-12 hrs each night..so we just have serious problems with naps!

This boy loves to sit in boxes! (and drink his juice of coarse)

Tyler got a gift certificate to Al Biernat's Down in Dallas. So we went there last weekend. All I can say is WOW. I have never been to a resturant that is so upperclass. I felt like I should have been in a dress...and should have been wearing my biggest pearls or diamonds. It was crazy, they even put our napkins in our laps for us. You had to get Vallet parking (so of coarse we parked somewhere else and walked) and all the cars were porches and jags and other pretty sweet lookin rides. Just as soon as you walk in you totally feel OF the world. It was a fun experience (and so stinkin expensive), but we will never go there again, in less we were given another gift card...although you do feel kinda stupid handing them a gift card... and they probably did think we were cheapos..haha oh well.

Tyler Tales

Last night around 3ish:

So I started to move around tyring to get comfortable bc my shoulder had fallen asleep. Tyler flies up sitting tall on his knees like he is about to attack...I swing around and tell him it's ok and to go back to sleep (he often does this). He comes closer to me...very serious...very worried....very very awake seeming...and says in a really calm voice, as if trying not to hurt my feelings and says:

Tyler: "Listen, Listen, just listen. I really like you, but I can't be your color and you can't be mine, it's just the way it has to be"

Me: "haha What?"

Tyler: " You can't be my color, and I can't be yours"

Me: "Ok, go back to sleep." (wondering what the crap kind of dream he is having)
(I still move around trying to get comfortable)

Tyler: Sheilding himself as if he is scared of me like he has made me mad from his comment and was expecting me to hit me...he throws his arms up sheilding his face and yells "Whoa!" Your don't have to do that, it's ok." Still acting very cautious that I might hurt him or something.

Me: "What? it's ok I'm just getting comfortable I'm not going to hit you!!"

Then he casually scoots completely to the edge of the bed! What a NUT! At least once a week he has a crazy talking/walking in his sleep episode...and sometimes its flat out scary. HE IS CRAZY!

Birthday Fun!

Well last Friday was Tyler's 25th Birthday! Happy Birthday Babe! We went to Cici's for lunch..where of coarse I took some pictures..and one of the guys that worked there was like why are you taking pictures? And I said because it is his birthday....Then sarcastically he was like aw I bet you want some balloons....and then he really came back with Balloons...It was funny.Then later that night we left Zach with Grandma and Grandpa while we went tothe batting cages and to D&B!Then Saturday was Skip (Ty's dad) Birthday, so for both of there birthdays we all went to the Cheesecake FActory!! Yummmmmy!We let Zach sit in a highchair..and they brought him bannanas and bread...so I let him nibble on them and he seemed to like it!! Oh and Saturday was also my precious nieces 1st birthday!! So Sunday we went over there to Celebrate!

Also, Zach turned 8 Months on Sunday and Andrew turned 19 on Monday!! It was a busy fun weekend!

Happy Birthday Everybody!!
