Catchin' up

Happy Birthday Tyson!!! My Tyson is 4 years old now. My how time flies. He has got the most colorful personality of anyone I know. He is constantly making me laugh. The other day he asked me "Mom, can I eat tape?" Me- "No" Tyson- "why?" me- "because it's not food" Tyson- with a slight whine "but I want to eat tape" What else do you say to that? You don't, you just chuckle to yourself. And live by the saying "expect the unexpected".
We celebrated Tyson's birthday by going on a train ride, because he is CRAZY about trains, and going to Chuck-E- Cheeses. This is him the whole time Chuck was singing to him- with his fingers in his ears! He had a lot of fun. The excitement level was so high, you almost couldn't tell, were we at Disneyland or Chuck-E-Cheese?

I made him a train cake.
This is the train we rode for his birthday. They even used our family picture on their website! Check it out at http://www.nevadasouthern.com/



This is just random, but funny. I kind of freaked out at first when I saw this happening, it looks worse than it is. Cory found Tyson pulling Jax around in this shopping bag and grabbed the camera, they were both loving it!


Oh, our Easter best. I won't go into the hours it took to get everyone to match (the boys anyway, I gave up looking for cute dresses, do they exist anymore?) and then ready early enough before church and clean and happy to take this picture. Sigh, enjoy.





The big Easter egg hunt. We had quite the crew this year. Jamie and Scott were visiting and so were a lot of Jamie's family. It made it a lot of fun to have all those kids there. We went up to Red Rock Canyon and hid the eggs in the rocks. The kids had a blast, and I had a lot of fun too. I got to relive my fun childhood egg hunts that my Dad did for us in the city of the rocks in Idaho. It was always a fun time!




We love hiking up in this area.



The cousins.



This is more of Tyson on his train ride. He just had to dress up as an engineer and he got to ride up in the engine and watch the real engineers drive the train. He loved every minute of it. They even let him blow the whistle.





I just had to share a picture of a "boys trip" that Cory went on. Him and his brothers rented 4 wheelers and went to the little Sahara, I think it was called. You can tell by their faces- I think they had a good time.
