Something fun

Since Tyson is getting so "old" we decided to give him a try with some rice cereal. It was sort of a spur of the moment thing. In fact, Dusty actually got out the camera and started snapping away! Yea! We got this little portable high chair because it fits well in our tiny kitchen. At first he wasn't sure what the heck we were doing to him. Now he gobbles it up. In fact, I think it is helping him sleep better. I hope I haven't been starving him up to now. Maybe next week we will try a vegetable. That will take him for a ride I'm sure!

My Boys

Well folks, we made it through Christmas and New Years, and we had a blast. We are glad to be home and back to our usual bad habits, but we loved staying up in Star Valley! (Thanks parents, for letting us invade for awhile and holding our little Tyson. I swear that he wants to be held every second now!) During the holidays, Tyson learned how to "eat his feet", roll over from back to front, and look at books. He is acting so much like a little infant and less like a newborn. Here are some random pictures of the break. Most are of my boys because I am usually taking the pictures.



Because Tyson is so little I don't think he got much out of Christmas morning, but at least he was awake during present time. He looked so cute in his little Santa hat!



Dusty and Willy, my little brother, liked to play out in the snow. They choose an especially nice day where temperature was warmer and the snow very wet.




At the Maxwell Christmas party, Tyson got his first swimming lesson with his daddy. He loved it the entire time. He probably was wondering why we were giving him another bath.



Among the other swimmers were Shaydan and Zebbe. Say cheese!







A rare one of me!

Star Valley Happenings

About a week ago, Dusty and I packed up our car to the brim and made the 8 hour trek to Star Valley for the Holidays. For any of you that haven't been to western Wyoming, it's pretty darn frigid in the winter time. So, since we don't want to go outside very often we manage to find ways to kill the time inside. For example, random pictures of everyone. Turns out that the sisters are naturals in front of a camera!








This is basically what Lauren does all day.


Tyson really likes his Grandpa. He loves to listen to men's voices, and Grandpa can really make him laugh hard.


Tyson, Grammie Jewels, and Willy are enjoying If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, one of the best children's stories.

Our Mary and Joseph Party- the basic idea is to celebrate the the Savior by discussing parts of the Nativity story and eating things that He would have eaten.


Items on the menu included olives, goat cheese, pita bread, fish, cake, figs, dates, hummus, pesto, and of course, sparkling grape juice.
