Family Day

We went to the Downtown BBQ Cook-off  on Saturday.   It was at the Lutheran Church downtown.  We got 23 samples of pulled pork.  Each was in a little cup with a number on the bottom for voting purposes.  It also came with a side of baked beans and coleslaw. We ate each cup together and then judged it with the one prior.  Number three was in the lead till we got to number nineteen.  That ended up being the one that we both picked for the winner. Then we headed up to my parents house to relax and watch some racing.  Mom cooked  baked potatoes and we also had steak that Dad fixed on the grill.  It was a very excellent day.  Then we walked outside to go home and found this!!!!!

Meet Caleb

I started a nanny job this week.  His name is Caleb and he is 10 months old. I will watch him 2 1/2 days a week. He is a very sweet boy and Tyson really seems to like him.  We will see as the time goes by! This is just some pictures of our first week together. 

 

Caleb was determined to get between the book shelf.

Caleb explaining to Tyson how it was all going to go down. Then he hugged Tyson.  It really was stinking cute but my camera couldn't capture the moment fast enough.

Their first meal together.

This was funny. Tyson decided to clime up there so then Caleb tried to follow.

And then they passed this yellow link back and forth for about 10 minutes.

Tyson is seven months!

 So yesterday was Tyson's 7 month birthday.  He is crawling around the house now.  He likes to push open the TV room door and crawl to the kitchen. He chased me down the hall also.  He is a busy little guy now. He is also starting to pull himself up.  The last picture shows that. 

The great flood!

So we bought our house with this awesome kitchen.  The wall paper really started to grow on me after 3 years of looking at it ever day of my life. Then...

The great flood of 2011 came as you can see below what caused it.  It wasn't all bad because I talk Chad into letting me do a small remodel!

And this is the final outcome.  Thanks to Ken who came over and help me strip the wall paper and paint.

Just needs some artwork and I already have that planned out!! I am very excited!!!

It wasn't teething.

So Tyson did get two teeth this weekend but he also got a double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. So needlesss to say we have not sleep much the last week. Looking forward to him feeling better. It was the first sickness of his little life! Pictures to come of his teeth soon when I can get into his mouth!

Lack of sleep.

I don't do well when I don't sleep. Tyson has been teething now for about 2 weeks. Saturday night he was up till 2 then would cry every 30 to 60 minutes. He couldn't breath very well due to his runny nose. Sunday night he sleep a little better but not much. So today he took a 3 1/2 hour nap. Wish I could do that!

I love a sleeping baby.

My favorite shots of Tyson sleeping over the last 7 months.

I am trying to sleep here!

I was warm inside. Why did you let me out?

Hands up.

This was my favorite face when he was a new born.

Sumo legs

Daddy sleeps with one leg out also.

It is to bright to sleep

I can sleep anywhere...
