Walks With My Little Man

 

 

 

 

 

Tyler loved seeing a kite on one of our walks this week.  The little boy with the kite let Tyler have a turn and he was thrilled.  :-)

Little Fireman

 

In addition to our weekend away, Tyler got to see a lot of his friends at Baby Alex's 1st birthday party!  He had a great time.  :-)  He also got to have a playdate with Noah and Baby Alex when we got back to town.  We went to a pool party hosted by our friend Nina, which was to welcome another friend, Liz, and her baby, Henry, who were visiting from Hawaii.  :-) 

Visiting Friends

Tyler was so happy to see his friends, Brooklyn and Jason, for the first time in over a year!  He also got to meet their new baby brother, Jaxson.  :-)

Happy Boy

 

This week Tyler said, "Let's just be happy, Mama!"  I thought that was great advice.  :-)  He definitely had a happy week.  He went to the park with his friends Noah, Baby Alex, Dylan, Reed, and Baby Lily.  He also had a playdate at our house with Noah, Baby Alex, Zachary, and Baby Austin.  He spent two nights with my parents (who celebrated their wedding anniversary this week!) while Dan and I stayed in a hotel.  Our stay (and the relaxation involved!) was one of my birthday gifts and it was a great one!  Dan and I loved going out to two of our favorite restaurants, sitting by the pool, and watching the last four episodes of 24.  I definitely was missing Tyler though!!  He went to his friend Grace's 4th birthday party, which had an adorable Hello Kitty garden party theme.  I also took him to a sunflower farm.  It was a busy week!! 

Summer Fun

 

 

 

 

 This week I spent a few hours with my friend Christa at her pool.  We had lunch and I had a pina colida.  I felt like I was on vacation again.  :-)  My friend Vanessa came for a visit on Monday and stayed until Tuesday.  Tyler enjoyed spending time with my parents and with Dan's mom while Vanessa and I went shopping.  He went to two stores with us and was a good boy when we went out to dinner.  :-)  We also went to the pool with Dan over the weekend and I did a family photo shoot for my friend Michelle and her family.  Tyler and I went to Barnes and Noble so he could play with the train table and I used my birthday gift card to buy the new Bachelor book (which I finished in 24 hours!)  :-) 

 

We got our family photo from Harper's birthday party this week.  I love it!  Tyler wasn't able to smile because his mouth was full of fruit snacks.  :-)  I also took Tyler's 3 years and 3 months photo next to his carebear.  :-)  I took his picture with the carebear every month during his first year.  Since his first birthday, I've taken them every three months.  I'm always amazed at how much he's grown! :-)
