Mommy and Me

Our ward has a mommy and me play group every Thursday. It's been so fun to go to and Tyson loves playing with all the balls and toys they usually have. During the cold months it's usually in the gym of the stake center but I hear once it warms up, we'll head to parks and splash pads. I'm super excited for those.

In this picture with Ty is Henry. They have the same birthday! Yeah for playmates

Snack Time

There is a snack time durning these play groups which is good becasue they go from 10:00 until noon! Ty's usually tuckered out when we get home but it's only because he played his heart out for two hours.

Our apartment

Here are some pictures of the inside. It is almost 200 sq ft smaller than our last one but it's still comfortable. I wish I had cleaned the house a little bit more but I had to take pictures because I know I'm way behind on the blog and don't mind Todd and Ty in the pictures, I took them sure wrestling time.

View from our dining area to the family room. Our kitchen has double the cabinet space of our last place and we actually have a pantry now

View of family room and kitchen. I'm standing were the piano for those who were wondering where we put it. The diagonal door leads to Ty's room and the other open door is the bathroom. Our room is at the end of the hall and those closet doors are the washer and dryer.

Finally

I know, I know, it's been forever since I updated the blog. I blame it on the move. Mainly because the house hasn't been clean enough to take pictures of (still not in pictures) and I couldn't find the camera. Well I found it and finally took some. Here are some pictures of our apartment here in Indiana. I still like the apartment in Ohio better but oh well, what can you do. I think that it will be nice here now that the sun is coming out. I do like that I don't have to walk up three floors anymore. I like that there is grass right outside our door and I like that we have a beautiful view of the pond. I don't like that I don't have good friends living in my complex, there doesn't seem to be very many small children Ty's age but maybe when everybody starts going to the pool I'll meet more people. Overall, it's a pretty nice place.

Home Sweet Home. I like the character of the buildings are cute I love the brick and shutters!

View from our front door. Ty loves to play on this grassy area. I love it too.

Random picture but I planted tulips and they actually grew! I love looking out the window and seeing them.

Our back patio. I wish it was enclosed because I don't like how close the pond is and Ty always makes a straight line for it when we go outside but I love the view!

This is our entire view from our patio. I love it because Ty loves to point our the ducks, geese, and squirrels that occasionally walk right by our window. There are also horses. In the white building to the left in the picture. We like to take walks to go see the horses. I can't wait for it to dry up a bit so that we can have picnics.

We're Moving

I've been behind on blogging and I probably be a bit longer. We're in the process of being moved to Indiana. Fort Wayne to be exact. I have bitter-sweet feelings. Just to keep you updated on whats happening

My fitness Life

I've started a new blog, myfitnesslife.blogspot.com. It's a journal for myself but I think it's also good for others that are interested to help me stay motivated and on track. I weigh around 165 now and my goal is to get to 145 by May 31st. So if you're interested you can keep you eye on me and my progress.

New Years

I know this is really behind but I've finally decided to post about our New Years trip to California to visit my family. We had a great time and I forgot how much I LOVE California in the Winter time. While we were there we went to a great little family park/shopping center in Vacaville, the Nut tree. My family used to go there all the time when I was little for their pumkin patch. We actually have a home movie of me when I was just over a year riding this same horse. I thought it was a picture moment.

Tyson being silly with his Grandpa

Yay for Grammas!

While we were in California my Grandparents came to visit as well and we had a great time! They are the funniest people you will ever play card games with. Love them. We had to get a generations picture.

Tyson's first Carousel ride. He looks a little unsure of it.

He really did enjoy it although this face says otherwise

He absolutely loved the giant chess board. He was a big help during our game moving our pieces around while we weren't looking. Maybe he was just tired of us playing and knew we were going for ice cream when we got done. We went to Fentons (sorry no pictures) yes same fentons as in the movie up except not the same location. Delicious, Ginormous, Creamest Ice Cream I've ever had.
A couple of days later when my sister and her family were visiting we went to the mall and let the kids run wild in the place place there. I don't know if Tyson was crawling through or if Gramma is pulling him back either way (I think) he had fun.

Two carousel rides in a week. Spoiled!

We had a great time and I think all of us were tuckered out by the end of our Holiday travels which was probably good because Ty actually slept on the plane ride.
We love our families and were so happy to be able to make the trip out there. There's nothing like home for the holidays.

Christmas at the Millers

We were able to fly to Utah this year for Christmas. I'm so glad we were able to this year because who knows what next year will bring and where we will be. It was so nice being greeted by Todd's family at the airport. It's always good and comforting to see them. Tyson didn't take too long to warm up to anyone. It was so fun to watch him interact with his grandparents and aunts and uncle. I'm pretty sure he loved every moment of it.

When we first got there, Todd's family took us to eat at Texas Roadhouse, mmmm. It was delicious. After that we went to Temple square, see previous post. Ty was exhausted but at least he was happy. I couldn't complain about anything. It was such a relaxing vacation. There was sooo much good food and sweets, so much for my work-out schedule. We also played so many games. It was a lot of fun. Ty loved to walk around stamping his feet on the kitchen floor just to hear his own footsteps. He also has a new favorite toy. A push around ball popper. He couldn't get enough of it. Christmas was great this year. Besides getting everything I wanted, I had so much fun being with Todd and Ty. Ty didn't really get the hang of presents but he sure loved the wrapping paper and boxes. I'm excited to see what he'll do next year.
