Wonderful Weekend Pictures!!!

Tyler loves to sit on our patio and paint a picture. He is so creative! He always tells me about his picture he creates. It is really cool, I can hang up all his pictures and know what he's created.

Tyler has so many expressions. He is such a happy little boy! He lights up my life!



Tyler LOVES sports! He is really into soccer and now (thanks to Auntie Jessica an Sum Sum) he LOVES baseball!! He is pretty good too. I plan on signing him up for some sort of soccer class or t-ball class sometime soon. I can not wait to spend my Saturday afternoons at the games!!

Tyler has been a little sick this weekend. Chad and I were out on Saturday night and we had to pick him up early because he was throwing up. When we got back here he was throwing up so bad and dry heaving. I am so thankful he seems to be feeling somewhat better now. Yesterday, he ran a fever all day, but seemed like he was not feeling too bad. We are taking it easy today!!

My husband, Chad LOVES to cook!! Yesterday, for dinner he made Roasted Chicken Enchilladas. They were INCREDIBLE!! For dessert he made this....

Grilled Bananas with a Rum Sauce with pecans in it! All I can say about that meal is YUMMY!! My hubby can really cook!!

WOW! My little guy is almost three!

WOW!! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!! I absolutely can not believe my little boy is almost three years old. I remember it like yesterday...waiting to go to the hospital. I had a planned c-section and I was supposed to be there at 11AM on August 22, 2006. The hospital called that morning about 2 hours before we were supposed to be there and told me not to come until they called that the rooms were all being occupied by other Moms..... I was like, WTH?! I did not say that of course though. Luckily, they called about an hour or so later and told us to go ahead and come. We were only about 30-45 minutes late.
At 1:05PM on Tuesday, August 22, 2006 our sweet baby Tyler was born!! He weighed 7 lbs. and 8 oz. and was 19" in length. Tyler was FULL of dark brown hair and looked just like his Daddy!! What a blessing!!

Dear Sweet Tyler,

The day you were born was one of the best days of my life; I remember it just like it was yesterday. I was so excited to get to the hospital so we could meet you.
I thank God everyday for giving me such a perfect, beautiful, and healthy little baby boy. I am also so thankful God chose me to be your Mommy. I am so lucky!!
I look forward to watching you grow everyday into a young man and hope I will guide you on the right direction.
I will always love you no matter what and will always be here when you need me.

I love you with all my heart and soul.

Love,
Mommy



Waiting sooo patiently to meet my sweet little boy!!


He's here!! Welcome to the world, sweet Tyler!!


Tyler's first full day at home with Mommy and Daddy! What a blessing he has been! I love him more and more every day!!


All the changes in the last three years! WOW!

DART Ride to Downtown Dallas!

Riding up the escalator....Tyler is obsessed with these! He sees one and we HAVE to ride it, luckily just once!

The view from the top story of the Plaza....I am SUPER afraid of heights. I can't believe I am up at the top, lol!

Touring the NEW Dallas Cowboy Stadium!

Today, our family got to go on a tour of the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium in Arlington. It is really nice! Much better than the old stadium! We were able to see where our seats our and just look around at the place. We are very excited about this upcoming season.

It is just too big to get a decent picture of the exterior....Here is what I got.


Tyler and I checking out the comfy seats


The RIDICULOUSLY huge TV screen over the field, really does not matter where your seats are with this thing!
