Long Summer

I don't know why, but I am feeling like this summer in some ways has flown by, and in others is dragging on and on. I think the yucky weather is playing a role in this, so I am thankful that it seems to be clearing up for the weekend (let's hope). I miss taking Ty on walks and to the park without the sticky humidity and the mosquitos getting us at every turn. I can honestly say I am done with summer and am ready to bring on the fall.

Ty got really sick recently too. It was his first time to have a high fever that lasted for 3 days. It would break during the day, then spike again at night. It ended up giving him a horrible rash that covered his entire body except his legs. He was so lethargic all weeek and just wanted to cuddle, which is so unlike him. I have watched so much Sesame Street and Clifford that I literally sings the theme songs in my dreams. I hate letting him watch TV too, but when he's sick and it's poring down rain all day, there isn't too many options. It looks like he is getting back to his good old self for the weekend, so I'm thankful for that.

I'm super excited to welcome my sisters baby, Madelyn Grace, coming in August!! We'll be heading to Dallas for a week when she is born so Tyler can meet his new cousin. Should be great.

Ty is 15 month old now and is doing the cutest things every day. He is very verbal, and is trying to say new words all the time. Also, this boy LOVES music. I'm not sure if this is a sign for his future endeavors, but is is really neat that he seems to emjoy it as much as his parents do. His favs are Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews and anything with a strong beat that he can "get down" too. Super cute.

Not sure why I decided to write a few random things today....But I am feeling very random so maybe that's it.

Here are some pics of recent events....

The 4th

We had a lot of fun in Concan this year on the 4th, being that is was our first time to really celebrate the holiday with Tyler. He was only 2 months old last year, so any celebrating I was doing involved sleeping :) We spent lots of time on the river and cooking great food. Tyler LOVED the water and enjoyed playing with the rocks. Our drive was a bit long and tiring, especially on the way home, but it is worth it (at least I have to tell my self that). Concan is so pretty and everytime we are there Brandon always talks about how he wants to own land there one day, we'll see. It also appears that Matthew Mcconaughey is from the area and is building a house around the same area that our house is...nice....Here are some pics...

Time Off

I haven't been in much of a blogging mood these days, and I just noticed that it has been a while since I have written. Things are trucking along, and I can't believe we are about to celebrate the 4th of July. We are heading to Concan this year with the family, for a small relaxing trip, unlike the last trip to Concan with 45 people! This should be nice. Our little fish can wade around in the water and have a blast while be all take turns watching out for the wild man. Tyler loves the water and has absolutely no fear. He think he can just walk right in and all will be fine. Lucky for us, I went and bought a life vest just incase. Mainly so I can relax and know that he has an extra safety net. I'm pretty excited! We got back from being in Galveston last weekend for our close friends wedding which Brandon and I were both in. We rented a beach house and had Brandon's family there to help us watch Tyler while were did our obligations to the bride and groom. All turned out great and we had a blast hanging out with our friends. Here are a few pictures of our summer so far...

Studio Bloom Photos

Back in March we had our family photo taken as well as pictures of Tyler. We just finished giving our parents a photo book as gifts for Mother's Day, so now I can post the pictures. I think they turned out great and I will definitely be using her services in the future!!

Playa Del Carmen and Tyler's First Birthday

Was awesome!!! Brandon and I had so much fun and I can't believe that Tyler's First Birthday and our vacation are already over. Everything turned out great, weather included and I feel so lucky to have great friends and family. Here are some pics from our trip and Tyler's birthday. He didn't want any cake, but that's OK. I'll be happy about him not wanting sugar for as long as I can. Of course we took hundreds of photos, but here are just a few...

Announcing......

My sister and her husband are expecting a beautiful little girl, due in August!!!

Easter

We had a simple Easter this year with just Brandon, Tyler and I. We went to church, had an egg hunt in the front yard and played out back while Brandon worked on the patio. I can't wait to post pictures of that when he is finished, and he's so close. Hope everyone has a great Easter!
