First Parade!!

Ty went to his first parade!  It was the Pony Express Day parade out in Eagle Mountain.  Anneka was cheering in the parade so we went to see her.  Ty didn't know what to think of all the cammotion at first.  He loved the big trucks and motorcycles, just like his dad :).  He ended up falling asleep half way through.  It was still fun and that parade throws a lot of candy, which was awesome!!!!

Birthmother Walk, May 12, 2012

Saturday May 12th was Birthmother Day!!!  In honor of our Birthmother we went down to Provo High School for the Birthmother adoption walk.  It was a lot of fun!!!  Everyone got a balloon when you first got there and then we all walked around the track once and then gathered in the middle of the field and let go of our balloons at once in honor of all the Birthmothers out there.  It was cool to see all the balloons in the air at the same time.  They also had Cosmo there to celebrate and an ambulance and fire truck that the kids could go inside.  There were games for the little ones to play, but obviously Ty is still too little to play.  Next year he will be able to though!!!  We love our Birthmom and are so thankful for her!!!!

 Ty wanted to eat the balloon :)

7 months old :)

Ty is 7 months old already.  I can't believe it.  He is learning new stuff everyday.  He is still the happiest baby you will ever meet.  He loves laughing, and has the cutest laugh ever ( I may be bias).  He can get anywhere he wants to by rolling but is also starting to scoot around.  I am sure he will be crawling shortly.  He is so close now!!!  He can stand up on his own if he is holding on to something.  He is really strong.  He also will copy cat you if you make noises at him or squeeze your eyes shut.  It is hilarious.  He still loves to play peek-a-boo.  It is so fun watching him grow everyday and learn something new!!!!

Utah Hogle Zoo!!!

Ty loved his first trip to the Zoo.  He loved watching all the animals especially the monkeys.  There were these small orange monkeys (I don't know for sure if they were monkeys but they looked like it) and Ty thought they were so funny as they ran around their cage.  He was laughing so hard.  It was fun to see him get excited at all the animals. 

 Mr. Cool

 Grandma Lyman and Aunt Shellie came with us!!!

 The same size as a baby gorilla :)

Ty picked out a couple souvenir's, a hat and a baby elephant

Something crazy that happened while we were at the zoo is we were looking at elephants and the baby elephant had just gotten wet and then ran over and laid in the dirt and started rolling around.  Well all of a sudden she started making this crazy loud noise and slashing back and forth.  The mommy elephant went over to her and eventually helped the baby elephant up with her trunk.  The zoo workers got on the intercom and said that the baby elephant was stuck in a hole in the sand and that she was in distress and that is why she was acting like she was.  It was interesting hearing the mom communicate to the baby.  I think she was telling her to calm down so she could help her up :)

Weekend part 3

On Easter Sunday, April 8th, we blessed Ty in Church.  Cameron gave an amazing blessing to Ty.  It was really cute, towards the end of the blessing Ty started talking.  It was the perfect way to end such a perfect weekend.  After church our family came back to our house for a little brunch!!!  It was a perfect family filled weekend :)

 Uncle Graydon was here but he had to run home for a few minutes so he missed the pictures :(
