Poop!

So the other day I decided to actually get dressed in normal clothes for once (as opposed to the usual sweats and T-shirt). I then realized that you should never wear new or close to new clothes when you have a baby with you. Here are the results from the first explosion. I was just happy it missed my pants!
Apparently I had celebrated too soon. If at first he didn't succeed...Tyson will try again! Here is the second explosion (about an hour and a half later).

Don't worry, my clothes are not the only ones being pooped on! Maybe I am putting on his diapers wrong...who knows?

Smiles :)

So apparently, even with a haircut and while wearing his 18 wheeler trucking club T-shirt, Tyson still looks like a girl...these people!! So I took some pictures for everyone to look at and decide for themselves if he looks girly or not...I think he is just a beautiful boy!!Here is a picture without the trucking club T-shirt in case that influenced your decision!
Here are the kinds of smiles Christian can get out of him...he is so cute!! Christian and Tyson hanging out after church on a Sunday afternoon!

Here are a few moments with Tyson!

Haircuts

So lately everyone has been asking if Tyson was a boy or a girl. Christian was due for a haircut and so I decided that Tyson was in for one, too. Here is the before picture...
and the after picture...Tyson didn't have as much fun as we had hoped :) Wow!! Look at all of that hair!!

California

Tyson got to meet his great-grandparents this last week! It was so much fun to see them! We are so blessed to have such amazing grandparents! Great-grandma and Grandpa Tengelsen taught Tyson all sorts of life lessons and Tyson was officially nick-named Tex by Great-grandpa! Tyson is getting bigger and cuter every day! He is starting to make new sounds and actually smile!!

One of the best parts about going to California was getting to hang out with my sisters and their children. Eli is one year old and Thomas is 5 weeks older than TJ (another nick-name for Tyson). It really was fun waking up in the middle of the night with three crying babies. What a difference it makes when your kid isn't the only one crying!!
It seems like at least one of them was fussy at any given time!! Eli was mad in this picture because he wanted to hang out with Tyson. I knew they were going to be friends from the second day they met. That was the day Eli went and gave Thomas a kiss on the head and then head-butted Tyson. Tyson didn't even cry...they are man friends :)

So I put Christian in charge of putting Tyson to bed the other night so I could get some things done in the kitchen. When I came upstairs, however, I did find Tyson in bed...our bed! They were both snoring and I thought it was so cute I had to get a picture! Tyson is very fond of his daddy. I'll spend hours trying to get our kid to smile and Christian will come home and within minutes Tyson is grinning at his dad. He must be a daddy's-boy. It might help that Christian actually teaches him cool stuff (as opposed to "this is red" or "let's count to five" Christian teaches him stuff like what bone looks like on the molecular level and where every nerve in the body is located exactly). They are good study buddies.

Jake-O!!

So my way cool younger brother got his mission call!! We are so proud of him! Jake will be serving in the Phillipines (where my brother-in-law also served) and will leave for the MTC on January 14th, 2009. I am so glad he will be home for Christmas and to see Ben when he gets back from serving in Canada (he will be home December 31st, 2008) ! Jake has always been such an example to me of service and living your testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He will be a great representative out there!!
