Tyler turns 5!!!

Tyler turned 5 years old last week. We first celebrated at Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs house. They made Tyler homemade pizza and his favorite....SALAD!!! Grandma also made Tyler's favorite dessert....gingersnap cookies. He was so spoiled. After dinner we opened presents.

This one was a 3-piece Spongebob puzzle from Jason.

Jason wanted to help open presents too.

A Transformers laptop!! Awesome!

Tyler really likes this. Its a TRIO snaps of SUPERMAN. One of his favorite superheroes.

Handsome little man!!

Its a bird, its a plane.....its SUPERMAN!!

Candles on his favorite cookie.

Too cute.

Tylers first day of PRE-SCHOOL!!!!

I can't believe how big my cute little Tyler is . He is such a big boy now. I am so happy for him that he was accepted into Head Start this year. He has really enjoyed school so far and doesn't complain about going at all. He goes 4 days a week for 4 hours at a time. His favorite things to do at school he said was color with coloring sticks. At home he really loves puzzles, Handy Manny, reading, and playing games on the computer. He is a very smart little boy. Some of the things he puts together in his head and figures out is amazing. Here are some pictures from his first day of school.

He is excited and has been waiting for school to start all summer long.

At the school.

Running ahead of me. I cried when I had to leave him. He's just becoming more and more independent everyday. I am excited to see how he grows and develops this next year at Head Start.

Love this picture of Cory and the boys walking to Tyler's classroom.

Jason

Ohhh look how big Jason is getting. I cannot believe it. He is just getting so big so fast.
Jason really likes to mimic whatever Tyler is doing. He just looks up to him so much. Jason is also quite the independent little man and does a lot on his own. He has decided to start using the potty...on his own. It is crazy to me since Tyler didn't want anything to do with the toilet until he was older. Jason also loves to play with his toys. He will dump a whole bucket of toys out...but he is a good cleaner. I have caught him jumping on Tyler's bed a few times and he just laughs and says "Dummp." Too cute. He also loves to play in the bathroom sink and the refrigerator...He is just into everything now.

Notice that Tyler's shirt matches in the background. AHhhh the joys of matching the boys outfits. I love it.

Too handsome.

Cory and Tyler go FISHING!!

A few weekends ago Cory and Tyler went fishing with Cory's boss Brandon and his kids, and another co-worker Brock fishing at Brock's parents pond. They had so much fun. Cory said that Tyler wasn't too interested in fishing itself, but like reeling the line in. They caught a few fish and they were delicious.

The ride there looks fun.

Madeline and Tyler at the pond.

Actually fishing.

I think Tyler had a really fun time. And a good daddy/son day. I had a great day at home with Jason too.

That lovely "I don't want a picture face."

Aren't they beautiful?

Getting my CRAFT on!!!

Lately I have had the crafters bug....well..I have it all the time, but i've been motivated to try other things..

Like these awesome LEG WARMERS!!

They do look a little funny on a bigger kid.

Ya...very funny.

Cute Tyler just laughing at us.

Here are the finished ones....I am so addicted. I love them.

I also made this cute bag for Jason's Epi-pens.

Dad gave me an extra one of his CPAP bags...and look what I did. We are going to hang it up on the wall because it has a nice little loopy on the zipper.

And of course bows. I make about 3-10 a day. I have box downstairs full of them. I think that I may have a problem.

Girls Camp

A few weeks ago was girls camp..I wasn't able to spend the night the whole time but I was able to go up one night and then spend the night the next. I had fun. The Young Women had a lot of fun too. It was such a marvelous experience. I was a little nervous to spend the night since I am such a huge FAN of camping..ha ha. But, it wasn't so bad. One of the other leaders and I shared a tent and ended up just talking and laughing until 3:00 in the morning. I loved seeing the girls in this environment.

Time to go home. What a mess?

Extreme Makeover....Home Edition

Last week the Extreme Makeover team came to Pocatello to rebuild a home for someone in our community. I thought it was awesome! This type of stuff just doesn't happen here.

The bus is HUGE!!!

The finished house....I love the color. I can't wait to see it on TV in a few weeks too.

Handsome Ed and Jillian.

I love Pauly.

And....crazy Ty.

They auctioned off this sledge hammer for $750. Whoa. At one point I lifted my hand up to take a picture and they thought I was bidding. It was funny.

I am so excited.

What is that.......

Last week I had the opportunity to try Moose. Yes, moose. It was quite interesting. I also tried deer meat for the first time and thought I was going to gag. It was soooo gross. I didn't mind the moose though. It tasted pretty good. The picture above is of the moose.
