Whats the deal

Both Haas and I agreed when we got pregnant with Tyson that we were going to wait to have another baby until Tyson was around 3. It makes sense, he will be potty trained or in the process of potty training, I can spend a good amount of time with just him. He will be starting preschool shortly after, and Tyson would be more independent so I can spend quality time with another baby too.
Well Haas now has been bugging me to get pregnant right away. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? I still remember being miserably sick, in and out of the hospital, pregnancy crazies, and he wants me to get pregnant again. I thought it had to be a joke. But he was trying to hide my birth control pills the other day.
I am holding my ground and we are not having another baby for a couple years. My foot is down and I am going to enjoy my baby until I forget how horrible pregnancy was!!!

Scouts

My little brother Nathan is a Weeblo in scouts and had his first awards ceremony on monday night. He looked so adorable in his little uniform. I was really surprised to see how many patches he earned in a month! He is really working hard and its nice to see. I still picture him as being 2 and everytime I see him I have to remind myself that he is 9. 9!!! I cant believe it. They were announcing the kids earning their archery patches and I was sitting there thinking that they were too young to be playing with bows and arrows, bb guns and even camping. UGH they grow up too quick. Here are some pics of Nathan during the ceremony. And of course scouts wouldnt be the same without the fundraisers which is why we left spending $70 on popcorn. Thats right $70. Cant wait for the popcorn to arrive. Next will be girl scout cookies once Savannah starts.

5months

Tyson is 5 months old today!!!! I haven't posted anything in a while. Not too much has been going on. Tyson is teething so we have good days and bad days. I can't wait for these teeth to come in.
Even though I have tons to do around the house I have found that I am starting to go crazy staying at home all day. Last week I decided to join Tooele mommies where stay at home moms can get together for play dates and field trips. I havent met anyone yet but im excited to. I also got out last week and met up with 2 friends from high school Mindy and Kelli. It was nice to see them and their kids. I also met up with Marisa on friday we went out to sushi at this awesome place called Fortune Cookie. They have great sushi and they bring out a ton of food at it is very well priced. We went to a cool place in Magna called Bears Den and then headed to Tracks where we met up with Breanna.Tyson had his first sleep over at Nana and Papa's while we went out. It felt so good to sleep in!!!
I also decided to start going to the gym again so I joined Gold's Gym. It's nice because they have child care that is included with the memberships. My goal is to get to my goal weight by the time we go to Atlanta. I also met with a personal trainer on monday.
I am thinking about taking Tyson swimming to see if he likes it since he loves the bath. Over all just trying to get out of the house more and not go crazy!!!

One cool kid

On saturday we hooked up with Troy, Marisa, and Emma. We went to the Gateway for sushi and to get Emma's ears pierced (poor girl). While we were getting Emma's ears pierced Haas took Tyson for some shopping and decided that it was now time for Tyson to have his first bandana. So here are some pics of my cool kid in his bandana. He is so cool.




Afterwards, we came back to our place for some awesome fireworks and drinks. It was nice having everyone over and even got our neighbor to come join in with us.
Thanks you Marisa for being such a great bartender for all of us! I cant wait to do it again.

4 months

Tyson had his 4 month appointment today and I was so proud of him. He now weighs 12 lbs 6.5 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. What a big boy. He is still small compared to other babies his age but he is catching up quick. He had 2 shots and he didnt even notice the first one he just sat there smiling at the nurse being a little flirt. He did not like the 2nd shot but only cried for a second and was fine once I held him. The Dr said that we should start him on rice cereal so we went to the store and picked up his first big boy cereal and we got to feeding him. He did pretty well and ate half of what I made for him. He of course made a mess and spit some on it out but then would sit there with his mouth open for more. I started him out in his new big boy high chair but he ended up more interested in chewing on the chair than eating so I switched him over to the Bumbo.
Tyson has been teething really bad this week and has been very whiney and nothing seems to help. I was going to take him up to Myriad for everyone to see him before I took him to his appointment but he has been so crabby and not sleeping much so when he took a nap and it went longer than expected I wasnt about to wake him. As a result we got to his appointment late and they almost wouldnt see him. But they snuck us in which I am thankful for since the Dr is leaving for 2 weeks.
This month I also bought Tyson a Jumperoo which thank you very much I put together myself. I also put together his highchair which he seems to love. He still isnt quite sure about the Jumperoo but I know that soon he will love it as much as his playmat.

wedding

So my niece got married on Tuesday so we had lots of family in town from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Kansas. It was so great seeing everyone. Kay looked beautiful!!! Erin and Jason stayed with us, which was great because we got to spend a lot of time together. I cant wait to head on down to Atlanta for Christmas this year to spend more time with them. Tyson just loves his aunt Erin. He would just sit and stare at her and when she would look at him he would just beam. It was awesome. We decided to meet Haas for lunch down at the Harley Davidson in Lindon where Tyson got to sit on his first motorcycle. He is going to be just like his daddy!! Here are a few pics from this weekend. I didnt have my camera so I am stealing Erins pics and will steal some others as soon as they post them!!

New beginnings

Well today is my official last day at work. I have my exit interview at 3 and I know that my day will drag on and on. It felt weird cleaning out my desk and packing up stuff that I looked at everyday for the last 4 1/2 years. I had a lot of good times at Myriad especially in the beginning. I made a lot of really great friends from being here and I am really greatful for that. I am so excited and nervous too to stay at home. I know I am going to love it but I get nervous about having the sole responsibility for our expenses to be put on my husband but I know that he is excited about it. He told me the other night that he feels proud that he is able to be the sole support for our family and that we will still be able to live comfortably. What a great guy I got. Good thing I stalked him!!!
Another new thing is that after 1 1/2 years of hearing constant complaining from Haas about my car that I loved so much, he talked me into getting a new car. So we now have a 2008 Dodge Nitro and we can not wait to drive it to Wendover tonight to celebrate our new beginnings. Little Tyson Bug is going to stay with his Nana for his first overnight without mom and dad. Im excited to get away for a night but I already miss him and we havent even left yet. I know that he will be fine and has lots of cousins here now that will keep him very occupied. Here's to hoping that we win lots or at least break even!!!!! Cheers
