Chocolate Frosting

Tyce had his first birthday over the weekend. He wasn't really into the presents....



Except for this one....


But he was really excited about the chocolate frosting...


This was the cake at Grandma and Grandpa Palmer's house. He had just woken up from a nap and wasn't really sure how he felt about every one staring at him.


But at Grandma and Grandpa Walker's he was wired!



It took him about three seconds to realize just how good the frosting was and then it was over.




He would get two hand fulls and start giggling and clapping and shaking his hands.


There was frosting on the floor, the chairs, the wall. It was such a mess to clean up, but well worth it.



Happy Birthday Tyce!!!

Girls Night Out

Last weekend me and all my sisters, two sister-in-laws, mom, and grandma went to Midway for a girls night out. It was so fun. We ate, went swimming, talked and laughed our fat faces off. I forgot to take pictures of everything else but boy did I take pictures of our cross-country skiing! Everyone kept getting annoyed of all my picture taking in the name of the blog, but I know you were anxiously waiting for me to do this post. Ha!

the boy.......

Tyce always rest his chin on his tray while we eat dinner and just stares at us. It's so funny.


He always leans in to head-butt Rustin.



In this picture you can sort of see his poor teeth that have been trying to come in for well over a month. His four top teeth started coming in all at once over a month ago and are still bothering him. The front tooth on his left popped through finally and he looks so funny with just one tooth.



Here is a little video of Tyce's communication skills. His 'thank-you' is my favorite. He use to do it right but now he just hits the side of his head.

Snow Shoeing

We went snow shoeing with Eric and Kate on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and very pretty. There wasn't near enough snow and it was actually easier to walk without the snow shoes, which kind of defeats the purpose, but whatever, we still had fun.


This picture doesn't adequately depict the steepness of this hill. We had to walk on all fours to get to the top. Me and Kate were ahead of Rustin and Eric, hence the bum shots.





A post wouldn't be complete without some picture of Tyce. He absolutely loves his books. He loves to turn the pages and I'll find him sitting on the floor looking at his books all the time. It's so cute.
