Our fun weekend

I had planned to blog today about our fun weekend, and I'll get to that, but I need to start with a little segment of my day, so that if you don't have kids yet, or if your kids are grown and you don't remember how they were at the age of 2, here's a reminder:

Things that happened today

Tyler dumped out 2 bottles of hand soap all over the floor.
Tyler dumped a cup of water out on the tile. I didn't clean it fast enough. Kyle was carrying a glass plate, with food on it, to the table. For whatever 5 year old reason I can't fathom, he went around the long way, in front of the fridge, in the water spill.... down went the boy, down went the plate, glass and food went flying everywhere.
Tyler stabbed poked Trevor in the lip with a sharpened pencil and made his lip bleed. (Can someone tell me why we can never find a sharpened pencil when it's homework time, but somehow a sharpened pencil is close enough to be a weapon for a 2 year old???)
Tyler found a pair of scissors and cut his pants to bits, while he was wearing them (you can see the holes in the picture above).

So, on to the weekend. We went as a family to California Adventure on Saturday. James' sister Julie got us in (thanks, Julie!) (she works for Disney). We walked on all the rides in Bugs Land. The kids were scared of the 3-D show and we had to walk out in the middle of it. Our favorite ride of the day was Soarin' over California.


On Sunday James and the kids came with me to a ward conference. It was nice to have church together. That afternoon we went to James parents' to celebrate Joy's birthday.
I was going to write more, but hey... it's been a long day.

Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Tyler turned 2 February 27th. When you ask him how old he is, he says "two" and holds up his pointer finger and his thumb. We had a small celebration with just our family and a homemade yellow birthday cake with chocolate frosting. Tyler got a big "fire-fire" engine as one of his presents.

He's really into trucks and asks us to read his truck book over and over (his favorites are the backhoe and the fire engine). 

Karissa:  We like to play babies together. Tyler talks cute.

Kyle: I like to kiss him and beat him up.

James: I love it when Ty ask me to snuggle and gives me kisses and hugs. When I walk down the hall holding him he always points to the picture on the wall and says, "Jesus!" really loud.

Chanelle: Tyler loves to get into my makeup (or make-make as he says). He's a lover and gives LOTS of kisses- to us, to his brothers and sister, to his friends in nursery, to produce that we buy.

We love our two year old!!
