Run-In With the Law!

Okay....not really! I had to stop by the store earlier today to pick up a few things and Tyler was sooooo excited to see not one, but two police cars! This nice officer noticed him eyeing his car so he waved to us to come over to him and he gave Tyler a badge sticker! Tyler looooves it! And even though he technically isn't supposed to take pictures, he was nice enough to indulge me! This was such a fun experience for Tyler!...and me! :)

Holdin' His Own

Today I decided to start teaching Josh how to hold his own bottle. He'd do it every now and then, but now I'm training hard core! And wouldn't you know...he's picking it up so well! I just hold the bottle in front of him and he actually reaches for it. Of course he's still not a pro, but it won't be long. Don't get me wrong....I'm not trying to force my child to grow up faster than he's supposed to. I'm actually just testing something out. Tyler held his bottle at 6 months and I always wondered if he would've/could've held it sooner if I had thought to let him. Another reason I'm doing it is for convenience! You all know what I mean. Anyway, just another step to growing up! My little man is getting so big!! :)

Wall-E

This morning Todd and I took Tyler to see Wall-E. Grandpa and Grandma Williamson came too! He seemed to like it a lot! He sat in his seat for the first half of the movie, then rotated between standing up on the rails and sitting in our laps. I was so glad that he was good! He got to wear his Wall-E outfit that I bought him a couple weeks ago and we also hooked him up with his own Kid's Pack snack! He felt like a big boy! And to top it off, he went potty TWICE last night, so this kinda acted as a reward for that....even though he got his cars last night as a reward also. He is becoming such a big boy and we are so proud of him!

Looking Back

This post is completely self indulgent. I thought it would be fun to look back at some older pictures and reminisce a little! Please forgive me!

My bridal shower. Todd showed up at the end and surprised me with this autographed drawing of the Houston temple.

Todd and I were married on March 16th 2001 in the Houston Texas Temple. It was the happiest day of my life!

Tyler's first birthday!

Me and my roommate Ariana ready for Homecoming '00 at Ricks. Todd was my date!

Very few of you will know any of these people, but if your from Baytown and you ever attended a party at my house you'll recognize some of them! By the way....I'm under my sister...the one in the glasses.

This is me at 13 months. I was such a cutie!

A Conversation with a Two and Half Year Old

Mom: Tyler, I'm so sorry you're sick
Tyler: Yeah, I'm sick
Mom: Does your tummy hurt?
Tyler: Yeah. Mom?
Mom: Yes sweetheart?
Tyler: I'm not seven...I'm sick.

HaHa!

I was on the phone....Ooops!

This is what happens when you let your kid loose with a dry erase marker for just a few minutes while your head is turned. He was supposed to be tracing his letters.

scrapBOOTH

scrapBOOTH is the name of Todd's photobooth company. He's partners with a good friend from work. Basically, it's a photobooth, but the guests put their pictures into a pre-made scrapbook so by the end of the event, it's ready for the bride and groom to take home. Not only is the scrapBOOTH for weddings, it's also for company parties, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, school dances, etc....They have attended the last 3 Phoenix Bridal Shows and are already booked for next January and June. They have received an overwhelming response from brides so we're really excited! If any of you know of anyone who is getting married or who has another exciting event coming up, let them know about scrapBOOTH! It's really a lot of fun! Visit www.scrapbooth.com
