For my birthday, tyson took me to a St. Patricks Ball, with some of our friends. It was soooo much fun!! They had a photographer taking pics (you know....like prom!!!) so we had to get our taken!! I had to scan this pic so it looks a bit dark, but i think it turned out pretty darn cute!!!
Here are just a couple recent pics of Van. He is getting so big and so much fun. He honestly NEVER cries or fusses. He just plays all day and is an amazing sleeper. He loves food and loves to eat whatever we are eating. He is walking along furniture now and is crawling so fast. I'm hoping he is walking before summer, so i don't have to worry about him scraping his knees. He is seriously the happiest, smiliest kid you will ever meet!! I wish he would stay this age forever....
I found this bunk bed on the internet...and it is now on Tysons list of THINGS TO DO!!! Isn't it so cute??? I want it for Mya's room! I'll post pics when its done!
This is Mya. She thinks she is Van's mom. Really.....she does. She tells me all the time- "I"m the mom...and your the grandma." She tells other people that he is HER BABY! I thought that the novelty of having a new baby in the house would wear off...but it hasn't. Mya loves Van, and devotes every second of the day to him. As you can see in the following pictures...she is with him ALL DAY LONG and bring him with her where ever she goes!
Hey, so I have a question for everyone. I've heard of people ordering a book of all their past posts from previous years and months. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to get my own "memory book" but don't know how to.
Van will be 7 months old in 2 days!!!! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is the happiest baby ever. He NEVER cries! Ask anyone.....its amazing. He sleeps through the night, smiles at everyone and loves to watch Nash and Mya. His current stats are:
weight: 15 lbs 4 ounces- 7th percentile
length: 25.25 inches- 5th percentile
head circ: 15.75 inches- 4th percentile
It is so funny because he looks chunky and round...not skinny and scrawny like his stats say he is. He is just kinda swished...miniature. I love it. He's sooo flippin cute!
Mya had her birthday party this last weekend. She wanted a princess party, so we had all the girls dress up as their favorite princess and made a princess castle cake! She had a blast.
Last weekend Tyson's uncle was killed in an avalanche. Scott was snowmobiling with his son Nick, when the snow crumbled below him and buried him 2 feet under. Tyson, his dad, and brothers were a few miles away from where Scott was. I tried to call Tyson to get him to go help in the search...but i thought..."he's snowmobiling...he's never gonna answer." Well about minute after I called him he felt he should call me. He did, I told him Scott was in an avalanche and they can't find him. Ty, and his dad and bros took off as fast as they could and located Nick within 10 minutes.
Nick was by himself with no shovel or anything trying to find his dad...it was an impossible task. Can you imagine trying to do that all by yourself??? Poor Nick. Tyson and his dad had shovels and a probe. Bron eventually located Scott with the probe and they dug him out. He was in the snow for over an hour. They pulled him out, and immediatly did CPR. Tyson and his dad took turns with CPR until the search and rescue came and told them to stop...that it was over. The paramedics took Scott away in the helicpoter.
Nick, Tyson, his dad and all the brothers just sat there....shocked over what happened and just devestated. Tyson was sooooo close to his uncle Scott. He was more like a brother to him.
It's been quite a week getting ready for the funeral. I am so grateful to have known Scott. We will miss him so much.
This is Scotts wonderful family. They have all been so strong during this whole ordeal.
Tyson built this sign that we put up on the Leishman Electric building.
Here is Scott on one of his last hunting expeditions. He loved the mountains. Ironic that it's the thing that took his life.
