Snowpants???

It just isn't right to run the bases with snowpants!!! Although, I really don't think Tyden cared...nor did Papa. It was soooooooo cold this past weekend. It is supposed to be nice the rest of the week, but rain again on the weekend! :(

Happy Easter!!

We spent Easter in Montevideo this year with Bryant's family. It was beautiful weather so Tyden loved playing outside. He loved his Easter baskets (because he knew there M & M's in the Easter eggs). Tyden loved playing with his Uncles. Now that we are home he doesn't know what to do without all of that attention!!! :)

Pre-Easter

The basket looks kind of girly (that is because it is mine that I have it out for decoration with wooden eggs in it), but Tyden LOVES it. He goes and hides the eggs and then I have to go and find them...which isn't hard because he dumps them all out in the same spot everytime! :) He also leads me right to them. :) He usuallys says..."Hide eggs Mom?"

Anyway...the outfit is one of my favorites and we wanted to show it off in church today. His cousin Austin has the orange vest and Katelynn has the color skirt and top that matches Tyden's vest. We were hoping to get a picture at church and as you can see my son was the only one not cooperating (schocker!!). We did manage to keep the outfit clean so we can wear it on Easter when we go to Montevideo to celebrate with Bryant's family. p.s. Bryant is the butcher who chopped his hair!!! It looks like there is nothing left, but there is some there it is just so electric blonde!

During the Flood of 2009

We have spent a lot of time at home these past couple of weeks. Tyden had been sick (yet again) and then the city basically shut down for the flood. The river has gone down, however they are predicting another crest possibly larger than the first. So to pass the time Tyden has been relaxing on the couch, building snowmen, and going to the doctor (showing off his large red bandaid after getting blood drawn). We found out he has a few food allergies and also asthma...nothing we didn't suspect, but hopefully that means we can help him stay healthier.

Still in Phoenix!

Today was day #2 in Phoenix. We woke up and went to the Phoenix Zoo. Tyden really liked the animals, especially the BIG ones! In fact, out of all the cute stuffed animals in the gift shop...he picked a Rhino. Oh well...he was such a good boy that I would have bought him almost anything. He fell asleep very quickly in the car on the way to the baseball games. The Cobbers won 2 again! We came back to the hotel after the games and Tyden waited for Papa to come and visit. He was excited to show him his Rhino and how he swims in the pool. :) Jennifer and Craig leave tomorrow so we will change hotels and stay at the same hotel as the team. Tyden will love being near the players and Papa.

the last 2 pictures

The last two pictures didn't make it on so here they are!

Phoenix!!

I realize I haven't updated our blog since Oct. I live the life of a basketball coach so now that it is late March I finally get to go on a vacation and have time to update my blog!! Bryant, myself and Tyden flew to Phoenix last night. We are staying in a GREAT suite with Jennifer and her family with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, and living room. The weather has been beautiful. The 15 minutes Bryant and Tyden gave me (all by myself) by the pool earlier today was PRICELESS!! Tyden has been a gem. He slept the entire plane ride and then was really excited to see Auntie Jen and Uncle Craig! We woke up and went swimming and then went to see the Cobbers play. They won 2 and Tyden FINALLY got to run the bases with papa. The pictures are 1. Tyden debating on what to about the pool 2. Tyden in the pool with Austin's floatie (he LOVES being with his cousins!) 3. Tyden, Katelynn and Papa after 2 Cobber victories 4. Tyden and Katelynn "belly bumping"...this was a fun game they made up during the baseball games 5. The tent Uncle Craig made for the kids as there isn't much shade in Phoenix :) 6. Tyden pitching in the bullpen (although he pitched from home plate) 7. Tyden and Papa running the bases and touching home plate. We got great news that Uncle Brett's team in Montevideo is going to the state tournament. Tyden cheers "Go Brett Go!!" Bryant was very nervous all day.

Tomorrow is off to the Phoenix Zoo and then more Cobber Baseball! Maybe I will get to make two posts on our blog in two days! You can tell basketball is over as I have FREE time. :)
