More Easter pics

I found some more Easter pictures of Tyler. These pictures were taken at G & G Hobbs house. They hid some Easter eggs for Tyler. He had such a fun time finding them. He learned how to open the plastic eggs with his mouth and m&m's spilled all over the place. He had such a fun time.

Ty's first drink without a sippy

We let Tyler have a few Oreo cookies a few weeks ago and Cory and I were dipping ours in milk. We decided to let Tyler have a sip of our milk and he actually drank out of it by himself. He didn't even spill. He's growing up so fast. I can't believe it.

Easter

Here is Tyler following a trail of plastic eggs the lead to his Easter basket. He's just happy with on egg.

Ohh , another egg.

Here is Tyler's basket full of all sorts of goodies. A magna doodle....that he loves and carries with him everywhere, toy bunnies, and bunny bubbles....and who can forget, eggs full of candy.

This is Tyler's first glance at the basket. He's smiling. It was so cute.

Tyler sorts through is goodies. Too bad we limited his candy intake due to being sick.

This past Easter wasn't the greatest for us. Tyler was sick and he didn't even wake up until 11:30 that day. Poor kid. A few days before Easter Tyler caught a cold and he really wouldn't go down to bed until like 2 or 3 in the morning. We would just let him sleep in because we needed the rest too. So, we actually didn't let Tyler see his Easter basket until like 1:00. Crazy. We then went to Mom and Dad's for a short visit and then to Cory's parents for Easter dinner. We pretty much sat on the couch and slept the whole night. The next day Cory wasn't feeling well and he almost passed out during clinicals on Tuesday. He slept all day Tuesday. That night I started getting sick and started throwing up. I was fine during the day yesterday, but today I couldn't get out of bed until 3:30 in the afternoon. I had some pretty bad vertigo and as I was laying in bed I felt as if I were on a merry-go-round. We're all starting to feel a little bit better tonight, but Tyler still has a pretty nasty cough. Hopefully we'll get feeling better soon. Maybe Tyler will finally get to eat some more of his Easter candy.

Tyler and his train toy box

Tyler really likes his train toy box that he got for his birthday. His favorite thing about the toy box is climbing inside of it and throwing all of his toys out of it. He also likes to climb on top of it and stand up on it. It's kind of scary for me when he does this. Just the other day he had climbed on top of it and was standing on the window ledge and trying to walk across the window ledge. We now put the toy box in the middle of the room when Tyler is playing in there. Here are a few pictures of Ty with his toy box.

The Easter Bunny

We were at Wal-mart the Friday before Easter and we ran into the Easter Bunny. I was so excited to let Tyler sit on his lap. Cory on the other hand, wasn't as excited as me. We were kind of in a hurry. They Wal-mart associate even took pictures of Tyler. We haven't picked them up yet. The best part about it was that they were free. Yeah. I couldn't resist taking pictures of my own on my phone. Tyler did not like the Easter bunny. At least he got some yummy jelly beans out of it though.

Tyler's Dancing Shoes

Angie brought home squeaky shoes, and Ty loved them! Sorry about the quality, though - we recorded the video on my cellphone.

Do you think my tractor's sexy....

Last week was the spring fair here in Pocatello. Maternal Instincts had a booth, and of course, I worked at it. Across from our booth was John Deere. He had a ton of tractors. At the end of the fair, we were all busy trying to take down the display, and I asked the John Deere guy if I can drive his tractor. And he said yes.....so, he let me drive it all the way from the bottom of the Holt Arena all the way up the ramps and into the parking lot. It was pretty exciting. I've never driven a tractor before, so I had a lot of fun.

Sunny days

It's been really nice here in Pocatello lately. We've been taking advantage of the warm weather and have been taking outings to the park every few days. Tyler loves it. He really likes to slide down the slide...by himself. He just walks over the edge, flips over on his stomach and slides down. He does a pretty good job landing at the bottom of the slide too. I just can't believe how big and independent Tyler is getting. He's always going to be my little baby, but he's growing up way too fast for me. Again, sorry about the pictures. We didn't bring our real camera with us to the park this day, but, we had our phones with us. By the way, these pictures were taken when it was Tyler's first time going to a playground.

Tyler's first haircut....!!

I was finally able to let go of my fears and let Cory give Tyler his first hair cut. I think we did fairly well for our first time. Tyler didn't like it at all. He hated it actually. At first he didn't really know what was going on, but then, he started to tyr to move our hands away from his head and then he just started to scream. We tried to give him a sucker towards the end, but that really didn't help either. He really liked to hold it though. He wouldn't let us take it away. He even got to take a bath with it afterwards. Needless to say, Tyler was traumatized by the whole experience. Hopefully it will be awhile until we have to give him another haircut.




Here is how Tyler looked before. His hair was getting pretty long. He really needed a haircut.

Just sitting quietly.

The fun is starting.

The first hair cut from Ty's head. Which is now in a plastic baggie ready to be scrap-booked.

Uh-Oh...it's Dad's turn with the CLIPPERS!

Tyler is starting to get a bit fussy...!

He's really mad now!

Maybe a sucker will help.

And, maybe not.

It's over with...and Tyler is happy with Dad.

Time for clean-up....notice the sucker is in the tub with Ty. He would not let go of that thing.

Fresh as a daisy.

The back view.

Left side view. This side is not perfect, but we'll have to fix in a few days.....we need to let him recuperate from today's drama.

A better job on the right side.
