Busy, Busy!!!!

It never ends.... We are constantly busy with something. I have been a little stressed with everything going on. I have been busy with homework :( and keeping up with Tyler. Since he turned 2 I think he has changed a little. He is extremely attached to me. For example going to daycare he clings on to me like glue. I guess the attachment thing is here. He favorite sayings lately are: "I don't like that"
"I don't want to" "NO" These are fun!! He has also been picky on what he wears, he will say "No, I don't it" hmmm... lovely. Tyler is very independent. This is excellent at times, but others I just wish he would give in, but no he has to throw a tantrum. Dan has been busy with work and that is about it. This weekend its HOBO week/weekend. Usually we leave town, since this town will be covered with people and cops. We are staying here as of right now. There is a parade on Saturday, so we are going to try and go if its not rainy. Tyler is already sick, so I don't need him more sick. Well, I just thought I would write something and say hi.

Crazy Week/Weekend!!!

WOW! Its been a crazy week. I have been busy with school and running after Tyler. This weekend will be more crazy. I got a call today (Thursday) from my dentist and I told them that I wanted to be on the call list to get in and a spot opened up. I have to get a cracked tooth fixed that I had a filling in awhile back. I also need to get a tooth canal finished, but the crack tooth will be all for this time. Did I mention that I dislike dentists. Know matter how well I take care of my teeth, I still don't come out ahead. I have some bad luck. So Tyler and I will rush to Huron tomorrow morning and then come back to Brookings. After Dan gets off work we will head to Sioux Falls to go grocery shopping at Sam's then head to a friends house. Tyler has been saying her name and her son's name non stop. He even calls his caregiver my friends name. Its not like we spend lots of time together, but I guess he is just stuck on her name. He gets a long really well with her and her son. Then on Saturday we head back to Huron sometime with the Trailer. Dan bought two calves in Huron couple of weekends ago, so now its time to pick them up and then head to Rushmore,MN his parents on Sunday sometime after we pick the cows up. A lot of driving..:( I do need to work on some homework in the mean time, but I probably won't get much done :(. Well, I hope everybody has a great weekend and a Great Friday :)

Tyler's Party

I made a slide show of Tyler's birthday party. Sorry, about some of them not that clear. These are the best pictures that I have so far. I will have more later on when I visit my mother-in-law. I hope you enjoy:)

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!! Your 2 :)

Happy Birthday Tyler!!! Your 2 today!!! I know your big day is almost over and your in bed,but I just wanted to wish my baby a Happy Birthday. Tyler had a great time at his birthday party. He was sure a busy boy at Chuck E Cheese. He hasn't been to Chuck E Cheese before, but he did extremely well. He was afraid of Chuck E, but my mom told me that I was afraid of him too, until I got use to him because my parents took me there a lot. That was my favorite place. Tyler sure enjoyed all his gifts and we thank everybody for them. I will post some pictures tomorrow from his big day. I hope everybody has a wonderful week.

Relaxed and Exciting weekend!!

Well, its the weekend already. Last night (Friday) we headed to Sioux Falls to pick up Tyler's pictures. I wanted to pick them up before his birthday on Sunday, so I can pass them out to everybody. We did some errands and then headed home. Today,(Saturday)we cleaned house, slept in and doing some laundry. My mom and Ryan are coming tonight to stay with us, so that will be fun.

Tomorrow is the exciting day Tyler turns 2. I can't believe my baby will be 2. They grow up so fast. We have a big birthday party planned for him. We are going to Chuck E Cheese. Both sides of our family will be there. Approximately 45 people, so that will be fun. I will fill everybody in on the big day and share some pictures. Until then have a great weekend!! Try to stay warm....

Remembering!!!

This day will be remembered forever!!!! God Bless America!!!

Burrrrrrrrrr...... Its getting COLDER!!!

Were back and its getting colder out. We made it back from our trip to Winona,MN last night. It was a great trip. Sides our hotel experience. Our hotel had an smell that was bad. I think it was mold or mildew or something. I was defiantly stuffed up from it. My mom tried to get a switch, but they wouldn't accommodate us. The staff was very rude. They told us they put a ionizer in our room, but I don't think they did. My mom finally got somewhere on Monday when we checked out. My mom wanted to talk to the manager, but he wasn't there. The manager was suppose to call, but he didn't he had the lady that talked to us call her. That is pathetic!! Well, she got a free night, but she should have got more. It wasn't worth what she paid for it. Besides that we had a great trip. We left Friday morning in a rental van. My mom thought it would be nice if we had a bigger and more comfortable vehicle to ride in. It was great.... I always said I wouldn't own a van, but they are nice and the drive nice also. We had lots of room. Tyler had a great weekend. We celebrated my grandpa's 75th b-day and then they also had a special cake and presents for Tyler. They won't be able to make it to his birthday party on Sunday. Tyler got to meet my aunt and uncle for the first time. He was in my tummy when I was out in California for my cousin's graduation. Tyler had a great time with them. He warmed up to them very fast. I didn't know how it was going to go. We had a great time spending time with family. We do have pictures, but I have to wait to get them from other people.
I think we are going to have an early winter.... It was cold out today.... Tyler told me "burrrr... cold...."

Have a great week!!! Stay warm :)

Off to Winona, MN

Tomorrow (Friday) we are off to Winona, MN for my grandpa's 75th birthday party. My aunt and uncle from California are coming, so it will be a fun time. I can't wait to see everybody. We will be coming back Monday sometime. It has been 3 years since my mom's family has all been together. (my wedding) We will also be celebrating Tyler's birthday this weekend with my aunt and uncle and grandparents, since they won't make it to his birthday party. Well, that is all I have for now, I hope everybody has a great weekend!!!!

Pictures!!!

Tyler had his 2 year old pictures in Sioux Falls at sears. They turned out great! I am going to brag about my son... He is so photogenic, so it was hard picking out pictures. I got all of them.... expensive :( well worth it though. Dan has a big family, so we will hand them out. If you want to see them you can go to this website and see them... We did have a little accident by tripping over the sheet with the bat in his hand, so he hit his nose hard. His nose started bleeding. The sad thing was we were not done with pictures.

Here is one for a preview....



Have a good one!!

School

Well, for those of you that don't know. I am going back to school. I didn't pass my test that needed to, so I transfered back to SDSU for early childhood birth-8yrs. I can teach up to 2nd grade. I perfer to only teach younger children, so I hope this works for me. Today, was pay day and buying books. Tyler went to daycare, which its lady that I use to work with. Tyler only was there a couple hours and did great. He did better than I thought. It was hard for me because I have been able to stay home with him for the last 2 months. Tomorrow, he will be there longer. Tomorrow I offically start school yuck :(. You know I went to go buy my books and the grand total was 382.12, why do they have to be so much. I didn't even get all of them. They had some optional ones, but I decided not to. I need to still get one though, it wasn't there yet. Enough of that. I wanted to share something that is going to be a challenge for us I think. Tyler figured out that he can climb out of his crib now. I was waiting for it, but didn't think he could. I was wrong! He climbs right out. Nap time today was a challenge. :( He woke me up this morning by coming to my side and saying "Hi Mommy" I asked him how he got out of bed, but he wouldn't answer me. Well, I am done posting now. Tonight we are off to Sioux Falls to get Tyler's 2year pictures. I will share tomorrow!! Have a great night.

Our 3 day Weekend!

Our weekend consisted of going to the South Dakota State Fair. Friday my dad came to visit and then left on Saturday morning. We sure enjoyed seeing him. Saturday afternoon we headed to see my mom. That evening we headed to the fair, which was fun. Tyler enjoyed seeing the animals and tractors. Sunday we went back to fair and just walked around and saw some more things. It was sure hot!! Tyler got a free medium sized rhino given to him. Dan and I were sitting on a bench and this guy was carrying 3 stuff animals and he gave one to Tyler. That was sure nice. Tyler isn't sure on the Rhino, its different. Then Sunday night he rode on rides, he loved the rides. We had a hard time getting him off the rides. His favorite ride was the helicopters. They even when high in the sky, so I wasn't sure if he would like them, but I was wrong he loved them. Then Monday we just took it easy. We unloaded our collection of washers and dryer. Then took a treadmill to my mom's work for her. Tyler loves going to my mom's work because they have ice machine that has crushed ice, that is his favorite. Then after we got that done we headed out to eat. Chinese is what we had. Its my favorite! Dan isn't a fan, but he will eat it. Huron has the best Chinese restaurant. Then we did some errands and went back to my mom's and Tyler took a nap! Dan went and looked at some cattle. This weekend we also discovered that Tyler can climb out of his play-n-pack. So there is no more confining him.:( Naps are getting harder! We finally got back to Brookings around 8 and saw how busy the town was. School starts tomorrow, so the population doubled.
I hope everybody had a great weekend.

Made me Think!!

Last Friday I was on my profile on facebook. For those of you that don't know what facebook is, it is kind of like messenger, but you have a profile, you can add pictures and then you add friends, which they can you can post a message on your wall. Anyway I saw a group that you can join, which the title was Prayers for Hannah. I clicked on it and it was a 18 girl that passed away. They had her obituary site, so I clicked on it and read it and then had a video of her life. Boy did I cry my eyes out. I found out that her brother passed away when he was 15 with a heart condition. Now it took her life. I couldn't imagine what her family is going through. I heart and prayers go out to that family. It made me think that we shouldn't take our lives for granted or our children. You just never know when its your turn. I just wanted to share my feelings.
