For school Lucas did a Flat Stanley project. We decided to send Stanley to Uncle Ben and Aunt Heather in Indiana where Ben is in school at Louisville. They did a great job for Lucas and even took Flat Stanley with them to Chicago!
May is a bit busier for us because there are two birthdays in our home. First Ty and then Bryan. Bryan took the day off--it was a Friday and when Lucas came home from school the two of them went to Boondocks. Lucas was able to drive a go-cart and he absolutely loved it. They played video games and played a round of laser tag. Bryan was the only adult and so of course their team won.
Last Friday was Ty's 2nd birthday. He has been such a fun boy this last year and I am so grateful for him. He loves to get into things, He loves to play with Lucas, and he is learning more and more words each day. If he makes a mistake he says, 'Oh no. Oh shoe.' We didn't know what he was saying at first but figured out that he was trying to say the word shoot. It's lucky no one in our home swears.
We started his birthday off by having cake and presents first. He got some really fun things this year.
His favorite so far is the guitar Lucas got him. It really is the cutest thing and we've all had a turn playing with it.
Then we headed to Provo for dinner and a baseball game at BYU. Cougar Club members got in free that night. I can't say the whole night was fun. Ty had a melt down at dinner and he didn't like staying in one place at the game. But we tried and hopefully made a great family memory.
I had to add this picture of Bryan and Lucas. I love Lucas in this picture. He looks so old to me!! What a fun night! Happy birthday Ty!
The other day I was on the computer and Ty was in the pantry. He was being quiet and I was happy to get some time doing whatever I was doing. All of a sudden I hear an 'Uh Oh.'
He had opened a bag of flour and was having fun playing in it with a fly swatter. It took me forever to clean up but I had to laugh and take pictures.
For my birthday I got an Ipod Touch. We didn't take any pictures of me with it on my birthday but here is one from the other day. I've spent the last month learning how to use it and having fun. My favorite thing is watching 15 minutes of one of my favorite movies right before I go to bed. I just finished 'North and South', (Not the 80's TV movie with Patrick Swayze) one of BBC's all time greats. The only problem is that my bedtime has now gone from 11:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. 15 minutes often turns into 45 minutes.
Adi, Cristy, and I got together for lunch a week or two ago. Adi asked Cristy and I if we were going to post a picture this time because we always say we will and then we usually forget. So, Adi, here is your picture. I remembered--just a little late. It was fun to catch up and just think girls--next time LeShel will be with us!!
Here are the two cute boys that came with us to lunch, Ty and Jack.
