Halloween (week)!

The Family at the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party.

Tyson and Momma just before leaving for the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party.

This year we attended our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party. It was at Brittany and Curtis' house. We had lots of fun, ate pizza, hung out and carved pumpkins. The skull and crossbones pumpkin is ours. Scott cleaned out all the nasty insides (I hate that part of pumpkin carving), and he traced the pattern onto the pumpkin. I carved it. I think it turned out great. Too bad it shriveled by day 2, and was a NASTY mess by day 5 (Halloween).

Tyson in his "This is my costume..." onesie that Aunt Heather mailed him as a Halloween treat. So cute!

Tyson crawling like a turtle.

What a CUTE face!

Walking like a big boy in his ADORABLE turtle costume.

Crashed after Trunk-o-Treat.

This year Tyson dressed as a Turtle. It was the cutest costume I saw all of Halloween. He looked great in it too. We went to our wards Trunk-o-Treat on Wednesday night (the 29th). Tyson LOVED all the kids. He was SO excited, his little legs were kicking and his arms were going crazy while he sat on my lap as we passed out candy. We then took him around the cars to get his own candy (no, we don't really give him candy, but we HAD to show him off!) Everyone thought he was super cute! By the end of Trunk-o-Treat, he was EXHAUSTED. He crashed on daddy's lap. He is not wearing his hat because he did not really like it.
On Halloween night, we got him all dressed up again, and took him to my parents' house. We sat outside and passed out candy for a bit, then we took him Trick-or-Treating up and down my parents' street. He was pretty tired by this point, so he was a little dazed. But, it was a lot of fun to show him off. After that, we went to the Saxey's house where we hung out, had some dinner and watched a movie. Halloween was lots of fun this year! I haven't taken down my decorations yet because I love them SO much. I'm ready to start my count down for next year!

Schnepf Farms

The Family. Tyson is laughing.

Tyson and Mommy

Notice he's pulling the goats hair?!

Tyson wants to eat the goat here, look at his open mouth!

Tonight we went to Schnepf Farms. It was super fun. Tyson's favorite part was the barn with the animals. We saw goats, pigs, a cow, a donkey, some chickens and ducks. We even got to pet the goats. Tyson LOVES animals! We also watched a pig race, we rode on these bike 'cars' as a family, we took a Hay ride to see some deer, we ate churros and we picked out a big pumpkin (mostly I picked out the pumpkin, Tyson fell asleep, and Scott said 'that one is fine', haha). All in all, we had a really great time, and will for sure go again next year!

Tyson's first taste of food!

First Taste

Reaching for the bowl

"I don't really like this stuff"

Tyson had food (rice cereal) for the first time yesterday. He was really confused on his first bite. He ate about 10 tiny bites, then decided he was really sick of it. The whole time we were feeding him, he was reaching for the bowl. When he was finished, he was REALLY finished. I mean, he totally spit out the food onto us. We're going to keep trying!

Shots

Tyson had a doctor appointment yesterday. He weighs 15lbs3oz (50%), is 26.5in (90%) and his head is 43cm around (75.5%). So basically, he's perfect! (Isn't that what parents are supposed to write on these things?!) He also had his shots. I hate those shots. Last night and today he's had a fever and feels yucky. Poor kid. He did smile at the nurse right after the shots were over with though, so I don't think he's holding any grudges. He's such a flirt! We love him for it though!

Gap's Casting Call

A friend took these photos of Tyson last week. I sent these into Gap's Casting Call (thanks Mindy). He's SO stinkin cute, and he has such a great personality. I really think it shows in these photos. Scott and I were looking at them last night, and I just couldn't believe how great and happy Tyson looked in every single one of them. He's great. We love him SO much!
PS. If he doesn't win (or at least get into the finals), the judges must be blind.

Tyson and the Alligator

Laying on his Alligator

Eating his Alligator

Chilling on his Alligator watching TV.

Here are some pictures of Tyson and his stuffed Alligator. He LOVES that toy! I think he thinks it is like the cats (He LOVES the cats) because it is soft like them. He also LOVES television. (I know, it's bad). His thought process (I'm assuming): "I love my alligator, I love my tv, what more could I ask for?" He also loves the fire truck on his shirt. I think Tyson had a great day.

Our Anniversary

We had a great Anniversary this year. We dropped Tyson off with my mom, and had a nice candlelit dinner of pasta and crab (we made it at home), and then watched 1 disc of How I Met Your Mother Season 3 (one of our favorite shows). It was so nice to relax with each other. Scott got me a new printer (it prints great photos) and beautiful red roses. He is such a great guy, and I'm so glad I married him. We have a great life together, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love you Scott!
