Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!

Happy First Birthday Ty!

I cannot believe my sweet baby boy is already one. What a whirl-wind of a year it was too. It went by way to fast! It seemed just like it was yesterday my 6 and a half pound baby was taking naps on my chest. I'll cherish those precious moments forever. This little boy has more energy than I can handle sometimes. He definitely keeps me on my toes to say the least. He loves to climb on anything. I thought my house was baby proof before, but he always manages to surprise us. Ty loves water like most toddlers do, but his fascination with splashing in the toilet is more than I can bare sometimes. Even though at times he wears me out, I don't know what I would do without my adorable Ty Ty. He reminds me of myself at times. He loves to dance and loves music. He just lights up from ear to ear when he hears any kind of beat. Most of all its so fun to see him with his big brother trying to emulate everything he does.

Here are some of the highlights of his birthday below.

The cousins had a great time too!

Small town 4th of July

For those who stick around Mesa for 4th of July fireworks you are really missing out. For the last couple of years we have been going up to Heber and have had a blast every time.

Before the fireworks start there is a huge party at the high school softball fields. They have music, games, and tons of good food. With my easy up canopy (thanks mom and dad) we had a pretty good set up.

The parade through the center of town is a ton of fun. The crowd is allowed to throw water balloons and shoot water out of water guns. All is well until the fire department rolls up with a little payback. Even diving behind a chair didn't help me much. We all got it pretty bad.

This float was about the funniest thing I have ever seen. They were really good.

There really is little doubt why Tyler is a tough as he is. My guess this is the kind of rough play that takes place when we are not looking.
