March Happenings

We got to spend a few days at East Canyon with Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. We love going up there and enjoying the snow and playing games. At one point these three were all on their tablets and I thought it was funny. Boy have times changed since I was a kid.
 
This child is extremely tall for his ages, and many of his pants are floods on him, but they are even more floody when he accidentally grabs some of Tyson's pants and tries to wear them ;)
 
Silly Pirate Oakley likes to take pictures of himself on my phone.
A few times a year I get excited about cooking and I cook for a whole week straight, maybe even two. Here is one of the recipes I tried that turned out yummy. They were just plain cheese enchiladas, cut if I remember they were way 
Since we have another munchkin on the way Tyson is going to have to give up the crib to him soon, so we decided to get a new bed for Oakley and eventually put Tyson underneath. I really love it. It's not too tall, and it takes up much less room than his old car bed. He even gets a little reading nook underneath, until Tyson takes it over in a few months.
We haven't gotten many snow storms this winter, so when it snowed the other day Tyson and Oakley were so excited to go out and play in it. There was maybe an inch or two of snow but they had a blast.
 
Our friend Nicole that we play volleyball with, threw her 1 year old, Snow, a birthday party and she had animals at the party that the kids could pet and ride. Oakley loved riding on the horse, but Tyson didn't want anything to do with it.
 I almost got Tyson to sit on the llama for more then a second, but he just wanted to keep his distance in mom's arms.
 Oak liked riding the llama. At least one child was brave enough.

Zoo With Friends

We love going to the zoo. This time we got to go with Brynley, Lincoln, and Oliver for Oliver's birthday. It was a little chilly, but it's always fun to see the animals.

Oak's Field Trip

Oakley has been in Preschool this year and he has loved almost every minute of it. I was lucky enough to get to go on one of their field trips with his class to the Fire Station down the street. We walked there, and then the firefighters took us on a tour and showed the kids the trucks and ambulance. They even let the kids spray the fire hose. They taught the kids a lot about safety and what to do in a fire. It was pretty cool.

Ty's first stitches


Well it was bound to happen sooner of later. Tyson got his first stitches today. It was only a year ago that Oakley had to get his, so Ty broke the record at 2 years and 3 months old. It was kind of a crazy thing cause he did it at church in Nursery. Wes had dropped him off and I was teaching the young women. About ten minutes in to church one of the Primary presidency came in with him and he wasn't crying but he looked a little sad and I could see the big gash in his lip. I guess he was running or climbed on the chair, I don't even know the whole story, but he fell and hit his lip. It wasn't bleeding that much we just had to blot it once in a while. Anyway, she couldn't find Wes, so I text him and told him to come find me asap and I just kept teaching with Ty sitting on my lap. (later I found out that I accidentally sent the text to my secretary instead of Wes so he never got it) About 15 minutes later Wes came and grabbed him and I finished my lesson. He had been home working on a call from work.

After I was done teaching we had a chance to look at it and talk to a ward member who is a doctor and we decided to take him up to Primary's cause it probably needed to be stitched. We took Oakley to Julie and Ben's house and then headed up to Primary's. Because he was so young and the cut was on his face, they decided to put Tyson under while they stitched him up. So they gave him an IV and he was a little awake but couldn't move. He started coming out of it a little early and had to give him more medicine. I believe he got 3 stitches. We have a video of him as he was coming out of the anesthesia and he couldn't figure out what his hand had on it and he kept moving it around and was really drowsy. It was pretty funny.

We're glad he's ok, and that it wasn't too bad. I'm sure this won't be the last time we take this child to the Emergency Room.

Here are a few pictures of before and after. It was pretty awesome cause they had a nurse or a helper that was just for keeping the kids entertained, and she had an iPad with some fun games on it. Tyson loved that part of it.
These pictures are of him as he's coming out of the anesthesia. It was pretty funny to see him so loopy.
He tried to sit up at one point, and totally fell forward. Good thing I was there to catch him.
