Gingerbread House

Tyson loves food.  All kinds of food.  And so making a gingerbread house that is completely edible is quite the treat for him.  Between eating all the candy and licking all the frosting, I'm shocked that the house ended up with anything!

Webtastic Spiderman and a Fully Padded Dragon

This Halloween, the Ty Man was Spiderman.  It was as if he knew just what he wanted to be.  We took him to the local costume shop to pick out his perfect disguise.  I was certain he was going to pick out Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse, or Lightning McQueen (all characters that he is loving at the moment).  But instead...he went straight for the Webtastic Spiderman as if it was calling his name.  He loved his new costume so much and even slept with the mask in his hand. 

Trick or treating went great.  If you know Ty, then you know this little guy will never turn down a piece of candy (or any food for that matter).  And so he caught on quickly that he could grab candy from all the neighbors just by ringing a doorbell and looking Oh-So-Cute.  

He was even lucky enough to Trick or Treat with his BFF, Paul the Dragon.  They ran around chasing each other to the next house, squealed and screamed like these two boys love to do...and even participated in a nice body slam.  No really...as we were finishing up at the last house Tyson took off running full speed ahead.  And with the combo of the dark sky and the Spiderman Mask, he didn't see the Paul the Dragon at all and gave him a full force 39 pound body slam.  Thank goodness Paul the Dragon was fully padded!!!  

Either way it was a successful Halloween and I must admit that I am looking forward to next year when us Mom's can just stand at the end of the driveway and not have to hold the candy bags...or even better, stay inside while the Dad's have their turn  :)

The Curious Boy and The Sprinkler

The sprinkler. 

The Curious Boy watches the sprinkler. 

The Curious Boy is now a Crying Boy as a tiny drop of water got him. 

A Crying Boy.

Finally, the Curious Boy realizes that it is just water and is now a Brave Boy.

Sort of...

And he ran through the sprinkler all day long. 

The Curious Boy was in fact, a Happy Boy. 

No Singing!!!

Ty loves to sing.  And sing about anything.  Typically at the end of dinner, he will put on a little serenade...  However, it is HIS show and he does not enjoy us and our angel voices chiming in at any time.  This video just cracks me up! 

The Big Screen

Last night, Ryan and I took Ty to his first movie....Winnie the Pooh.  It was great to see how excited he was as each preview would start and he would ask, "Where is Pooh?  Where is he?"   He did great during the movie.  Asking a lot of questions and very concerned during the scary parts, but it was pretty cute. It was especially perfect in the fact that the movie was only 1 hour and 3 minutes.  I don't think we could have lasted much longer.  But with popcorn and gummybears in hand, it was a fantastic time.  

It was good too for me to see one of my favorites.  I grew up watching Pooh, and it is just as special seeing it as an adult.  And I loved that they kept this one classic and still showed the words and paragraph of the story.  

And I know really pay attention to the personality traits of each character.  Owl is the brains, Rabbit has all the ideas and is a little bossy, Piglet will do absolutely anything asked,  Eeyore is forgetful and sad, Kanga is caring and the mother of them all, and Pooh....is just Pooh.  Simple, sweet, and a silly ol bear!   And when it comes down to it....they are all there for each other.  What a great message and memory for all of us, as we all have these characters in our lives.  

Today Ty keeps saying, "I saw movie.  On the BIG screen."  When we ask who was in the movie, he says, "Me!!  And Christopher Robin."  Pretty darn cute I must say! 

To My Bubba

 

To my Bubba - My love for you continues to grow each and every day.  You make me so happy with your big smile, sense of humor, and just about everything you do.  You are such a loving little boy, with a big heart.  You are already so talented and I am just so proud of you.  You have made all my dreams come true and I happiest Mom in the world.  

Thank you for such a wonderful Mother's Day.  

Love you,
Mama

Sleeping Baby....Sleeping Little Man

Where did this little bundle go???  I feel like some times it was just yesterday that Ty was all curled up like this and just a Tiny Mr. T.  

Now, he sleeps like a little boy or even like a man....Hands behind his head as if he is doing all his life plans during his deep sleep.  He also is very particular on what toys get to sleep up by his head or down by his feet.  This night, he just had to have Mickey Mouse, Bear, and Ti-gar.  

Most nights lately its been his construction hat!! (Thanks KayKay for such a great gift.)Who would have thought it would become his nightly ritual.

Just like Randy in A Christmas Story, Tyson was all ready to go play outside in the snow with Daddy!!

Deer Caught in Headlights with Santa

That's exactly what the T Man looked like when Bapa and Nana took him to see Santa this year!  (Thanks again Mum & Dad!!)  For such a smiley little boy, its pretty funny to see this one.  And it was a good thing for Nana that Santa had a real beard.  Because apparently after surgery, I lectured her that he better have a real beard because if he didn't, "it would be all her fault".  Gotta love those pain meds. 

In L-O-V-E with this little man.

Sometimes it's so hard to go back to work after a long holiday weekend.  But then I see pictures like these and I am so thankful for my weekends, pajamas, and that smile!!!
