Prioritizing

So I basically been saying since Tyson was born "I am going to start scrapbooking again today after I finish my chores." I think in my head after that, " yep, after Tys is down for his nap, I'll put in a movie and get going. I have enough time to do at least one page." I even have some great ideas bouncing around up there just waiting to be put down on paper. And wouldn't you know it. Nothing happens. No thats a lie. Things happen. Good things too. Tyson gets fed, played with, laughed with. Dusty gets to eat dinner, and Lauren, and Megan, and Ashley too. My bedroom gets painted. We have clean clothes to wear to our friend's houses. Games get played up a Grandma's on Sunday. The weekly menu gets planned. The piano gets played everyday. But.... no new scrapbook pages. I have done a few mini albums. I guess those kindof count, but nothing with the bazillion of pictures I have in my photo box. Obstacle numero uno. Scrap crap is in Tyson's room. The only place for it really. Everyone says" Why don't you scrap when Tyson is napping?" Well, Tyson is a pretty light sleeper. Case and point. Can't do it in his room. Obstacle B. It takes about an hour to move everything somewhere else in order to do the scrapbooking. By the time I move it all to get ready to make a page, time is up. I would leave it all stacked in the kitchen, but the clutter drives me insane, and Dusty hates it too. Tyson doesn't really care, but that's beside the point. Something must be done. Any ideas? I guess I need a goal. At least one page a week. I think I can do that. Ironically, I probably could have done part of a page while typing this. Well, Tyson is ready for a nap. What should I do when he's sleeping?

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!
