Happy 2nd B-day Tyson

Tyson's 2nd birthday was spent driving in a car to Washington to visit cousins. Luckily we did a little party for him and Kiara before we left. Kiara's B-day is only 3 days before Tyson's so it worked out nicely. We made Asian food because it's Kiara's favorite and dirt cake because I thought it was Tyson's favorite... but he wouldn't touch it to save his life. At least the rest of us got to enjoy it. It was a great evening with family.

I can't imagine life without my little Tyson. He is such a happy little boy that has a way of putting on smile on anyone's face. He loves to play with Noah and Cooper, and he thinks he's just as big as them when he joins in the wrestling match or jumps on the trampoline with them. I can't believe out little boy is already 2 years old time flies by so fast, I really wish I could slow things down and enjoy him more before he's all grown up.

Opening presents

His new phone. He is obsessed with phones. My mom got this for him so he'd have his own for our long drive to WA

His actual B-day in the hotel room opening his 'backpack of presents' which consisted of a new T-shirt, games to play on the drive, and a bucket and shovel for the beach.

Family Bar-B-Q

Finally good enough weather for us to have a backyard Bar-B-Q and we had cousins in town! The kids had a blast roasting marshmallows, riding bikes, and playing with their cousins. Cooper also learned how to really ride a bike... last year he was so nervous and didn't love it, but not any more. I am so grateful for family and that we're lucky enough to get together on a regular basis. My boys love their cousins so much!!!Roasting marshmallows with grandpa

Cooper cruzin' on the power of purple bike (Grandma picked that up at a garage sale for a buck... that's a dollar well spent)

I love the faces this kid makes. It's just so hard to catch them on camera.

Cooper's Graduation

Friday May 27th was a great day for Cooper, he graduated from Speech and Pre-school. I'm so proud of him (especially for speech). His pre-school teacher put on such a fun graduation. However, I took mostly video, so I didn't have a ton of pictures of the program.Graduation from speech. All the kids (and teachers) sang a 'hurah' song.

Getting his diploma.

Cooper and Miss Jenny

The 3 musketeers... These boys did both years of pre school together and are such good buddies. Aren't they so handsome.
