Under my umbrella.. ella.. ella

Well It finally rained here in good 'ol Gilbert, Arizona. Tyler wanted to test out an umbrella, so he took a stroll in our backyard. He said it sounded like fireworks!

It's to quiet!

Tyler's new favorite place to hang out is in our bathtub... normally he really doesn't get into stuff but I guess he watched me clean and thought he was just helping out. It was hard not to laugh and we are thankful he didn't eat any.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Laura & Kevin's house. Tyler had a great time there playing with Lilly and Max. We are very thankful that they invited us. Well guess the countdown to X-mas is among us...Fun!! By the way sorry the pictures below are a little smudgy, it's because I didn't know the camera lens had stuff on it.

That's my boy!!

Well to my surprise Tyler has taken an interest in learning how to drive already... Wonder how much insurance is gonna cost?! he had a really good time messing with all the buttons and knobs.

Another food hat!!

Well here again is a picture of Tyler wearing a fast food hat, This time it's El Torito... Who knew they had hats?!

Tyler's fast food hat collection

Well, nothing to exciting here but we were at In-N-Out the other night... who are we kidding that's exciting enough, yum! Tyler has started a collection of fast food hats, first Hot dog on a stick and now In-N-Out. We really hope he outgrows this or else it's gonna be a pretty cheap college tuition! By the way don't mind the goofy guy in the back.

Tyler's first egg roll

Well, we were at the mall ( surprise, surprise ) and we decided to have dinner there, Steph and Tyler decided they wanted Sbarro and I went for Neo Tokyo ( great chicken bowl!) Tyler ate all of his spaghetti... when all of a sudden he saw what was on my plate... an egg roll. He quickly asked to try it, and wouldn't you know it, he ate the whole thing. I think he'll be having egg rolls again.

Popcorn & no movie

Now this happened after the whole egg roll thing, we did Tyler's usual lap around the mall...water stream shooters, play place, wishing pond, little waterfall, and finally the fire pit. We usually just walk to the car at this point, but not tonight, There's a movie theatre right where we park and Tyler has never really paid any attention to it until for some reason as we walked passed it tonight he yelled out "Popcorn!" both of us were like "huh?" we really couldn't figure out how he knew there was popcorn in there because not only was there no one out there with it but you can't see it, smell it, or hear it from where we were... anyway we both thought it was pretty dang funny so we walked into the theatre just to get Tyler some popcorn... too bad for us it didn't involve watching a movie.

Tyler at the barn...sort of

This is actually one of the cooler play parks I've seen here (so far) Not only is it huge but it looks like a big barn. There are several huge slides, swing sets, a big sandbox where you can actually dig for dinosaur bones, and ( my favorite part) a path that looks like a racetrack where kids can ride they're bikes and power wheels. Tyler loves going there, and it's not to bad for us either.

Tyler lounging around.

This morning when Tyler was watching Little Einsteins I noticed he looked a little uncomfortable lying on the floor, I tried to take him to the couch but he wouldn't have it, he had to be on that particular spot. So I remembered that Tyler had a little la-z-boy chair that we got him a long time ago. So I pulled it out of his room and placed it right on that spot, he loved it. He actually fell asleep at one point on the chair...I hope he doesn't get used to that...hmm
