We're Back in Business!

After a LONG break from blogging I've decided to give it another shot.  Every time I would try to upload pictures my internet would die so I decided it wasn't for me.  I've recently started a new venture: "The Spunky Little Monkey"  I love to make things and find it very therapeutic so I started an Etsy shop selling my hair accessories.  Since I don't have a daughter to put them on I needed something to do with them.  My friend convinced me to start a blog for that & I haven't had any problems with that yet so since Tyler is actually taking a nap today I decided to try a post. I realized how long it had been & thought I had better break it in two. 

Summer Fun!

 We spent Tyler's second birthday at Disneyland

 At California Adventure they had a water section & he pretty much spend a majority of the time there.

 It took him a little while to warm up to it but after watching all of the other kids getting wet he had a blast!

 Tyler had a Handy Manny party & here's the cake I made.  I made all of the tools out of Fondant. (A couple of them didn't make it onto the cake since they didn't meet my standards).

 Chowing down.  I didn't get many pictures that didn't involve movement so this is the best I got.

 Cooling off on a HOT summer day.

 This was his first time with a water gun & he kept spraying himself in the face.

 See what I mean?

 Playing at the park!

 His first skinned knees.  (CUTE little legs).

 Shaving with my eyelash curler.

 This is his routine with Daddy every Sunday morning.

 Took a try at potty training.  I think he went twice but decided he wasn't ready yet. 

 Tyler being patriotic on the Fourth of July

 Watching fireworks for the first time at Vets Stadium.

 We tried to get a family picture at my parents' house one day.  I don't think we were very successful.

 Lounging in a Scentsy box.

 In a bounce house at Pat's cousin's house.

 We went to Utah this summer to visit some of y family. 

 Some of the group.  Does anyone see mini Kim?

 A picture with Mommy after bath time. 

 The COLDEST water EVER!!

 Tyler took a spill at my cousin's parents' house & made his first visit to the ER.  Luckily he healed really quickly & didn't have any scarring. He was such a good boy & was back to his normal self the next day.  I, on the other hand, was so traumatized that I spent the whole night throwing up.

 We left a day early & drove down to Brian Head to stay at this cabin with my mom & dad for a couple of days.

 I just had to buy these jammies for Tyler since he was such a Tough Guy.

 On his first hike.

 On our way to go fishing.

 The matching fishermen.

 Isn't that the cutest little face ever?

 Pat's fish he caught.

 My second fish...I didn't go close to the first one.  There's no way I would hold the thing though.

 I spent the next couple of days doing these puzzles to keep my mind busy after Tyler's incident.

  Grandma & Grandpa with the grandkids (and Eddie).

 We moved into the house next door to my parents the beginning of September.  This is Tyler's way of helping pack.

 Moving Day!

Tyler, Kaylee & Zackary watching TV in our new house. (I think that lasted about 30 seconds before Tyler & Zackers were off doing other things!)

It's amazing! I actually made it through.  It only took me about 2 hours! Well, Tyler did wake up & I had to give him a snack & find something to entertain him with.  Sorry it's so long but as you can see, we had a very busy summer.  The rest of the year was pretty much boring so the next post will probably be much shorter!
