Football

Tyson had a double header this week in football.

 He loved it!

 I don't think he ever wanted it to end.

 He was running up and down the field and tried really hard to make plays.

 I think this was the only time he sat still for two hours :)

 Tyson's team always does well because our coach's son has already played 4 season's and is like a foot taller than everyone :)

 Gotta love a ringer! (He's the tall blonde) (He also plays every quarter and is never substituted)

 One day I am going to keep a count of all the fumbles :)

Such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.  Jason got to deal with the drama girls and I got to watch Tyson in action. 

Disney on Ice

We went to our annual Disney on Ice adventure.  This time around they did three stories, all princesses.

 They started off the night with the Princess and the Frog.  It seemed to go on forever.  They even did the songs while they were in the swamp and did a whole thing with the "shadowman". 

 It was fun to see the frogs turn back to humans.  That was our favorite part.

 Then they had Cinderella, we are big Cinderella fans over here.  For Christmas the girls even got Cinderella 2 and 3.  It was fun to see the mice make a dress for Cinderelly.

 They even had the part where the step sisters tear it apart.

 Gotta love the Fairy Godmother, the whole place was singing Bippidy Boppidy Boo.

 We always love fireworks too!

 This carriage was awesome, the horses were people but you had to look really close to see.  They walked around just like real horses do.

 The ball was fun to see all the people dancing in a row, but of course the best part was...

 ...Cinderella meeting her prince!

 Hayden was enthralled the whole time.  She has always been so good at these events.  Gotta love her :)

 Taylor also was very good this time, a rare occurrence for her!

 Ryan was happy to be held and loves to be where the action is.

 Tangled was the last show.  It was really great.  Isn't that horse amazing? 

 They had the tower and the long flowing hair.

 The kids loved when Rapunzel hit Flynn over the head with the frying pan.  Why does violence always get the biggest laughs?

 Flynn and Rapunzel did awesome flying tricks around the room on these two long sheet things.

 They even had him cut her hair off, very exciting!

 Then at the finale all the princesses and their princes came out and did a huge dance number.

 Three happy girls...

 ...one fed up boy.  We didn't tell him it was only about princesses until the day before.  He was NOT happy!

Every party needs a pooper :)

January 12x12

We had another busy Saturday this week and it happened to fall on the 12th.  Our morning started at 5:30am when the terrible T's decided to wake everyone up by chasing each other and running a muck uspatairs.  Needless to say it was not pretty when I caught them.  Since they were up we began an all out cleaning of downstairs because we were getting an inspection from Medicaid for Mark, so I guess it all worked out kind of.

 Tyson had his second flag football game.  He really loves it.  He didn't earn much money this game but in warm up he caught three passes in a row.

 Right after Tyson's game he went to a birthday party where they also played football.  Taylor was at a birthday party too and I was home with the Medicaid inspection and the two girls.

 After the inspection and the parties we relaxed a bit.  Hayden found this fun hat.  She loves shouting "cheese" for pictures.  Such a nut :)

 

The kids favorite home activity is to push the baby around in her stroller and chase each other.  As long as the baby is happy and they don't run her into anything I am fine with it.

 Ryan is a horrible sleeper, almost as bad as Tyson was.  Here is one of her 20 minute naps.  Seriously it only lasted 20 minutes. What can you accomplish in that time?  I think I went to the bathroom and pulled out meat for dinner. 

 Taylor is a huge Daddy's girl (even her shirt says Daddy's Super Star).

 We pulled out the old Johnny Jump Up and let Ryan try it out.  She wasn't too excited about it, she had more fun watching the other three fighting about who gets to sit the closest to her while she is jumping.

What is a mother to say?

 Jason ran Darrell to Special Olympics basketball and then came home for dinner.  A thrilling spaghetti and vegtables.

 Ryan was my last hope for a kid that didn't need to use a nebulizer.  Isn't that the saddest thing?  She gets really congested and we spray saline up her nose and suck everything out with the bulb syringe but it never gets her clear.  The doctor told us to use the nebulizer to help get her congestion out.  This was the first time I tried it and it helped a ton.  I just hate that we never put this machine away, it has a permanent spot on the bookshelf in the living room.  So sad.

 We finished our night watching the 49ers beat the Packers.  I know one of the reasons Jason decided to marry me was because I was already a 49ers fan when he met me :) 

This was our half time show.  Gotta love them!
