Jazz Hands

May 8th, 2010 by mariahbuck

Apparently Tyler has come to love posing for pictures using Jazz Hands. We have no idea where it came from. But just like everything else Tyler does, it is a trait all his own. (Mommy loves you big boy!)

January 10th, 2010 by mariahbuck

Tonight as I was making dinner, Tyler was playing Lego Star Wars for the Wii. Here is what my polite little mister said to his game:

Tyler: “Excuse me sir, but If you don’t mind, I’m gonna havta whoop you.

That’s fine?

Ok, you asked for it!!”

At least we have taught him to be polite He is such a funny boy!

Silly Daddy

January 7th, 2010 by mariahbuck

Today Shaun had a conversation with Tyler about his birthday dinner. Our kids get to choose where they want to go to dinner on their birthdays. There is a buffet here in Idaho called Chuck-o-rama. It just sounds nasty and we have never eaten there. Shaun was trying to get Tyler to say that he wanted to eat there as a joke to Mama. Here is how the conversation went:

Daddy: Tyler for your birthday tell Mommy that you want to go to a restaurant called Chuck-o-rama.
Tyler: Daddy, nooooo.
Daddy: Yes, they have pizza and mac n cheese and soda.
Tyler: No way, I wanna go to Chuck E Cheese, you fool!!!

After we stopped laughing hysterically, we had to correct him and tell him that you don’t call mommy or daddy a fool. But Man was it funny! Silly Daddy, that’s what you get for trying to play a trick on Mommy!

Tyler’s musings

December 23rd, 2009 by mariahbuck

Tyler: “Oh crap!”

Mommy:” Tyler we don’t say crap.”

Tyler: “Oh yes we do mommy, you and daddy say it all the time.”

On another day:

As I have Tyler bent over my knee to spank him for disobedience, he says, “Mom, can it be a little tiny spankin?” I told him no. So he said in the sweetest most pitiful voice, “Please don’t hurt me mommy, pleeeeeease.” It is kinda hard to spank when you can’t stop laughing…

Tyler Said..

August 2nd, 2009 by Mariah

Mommy, When I grow so big, I’m not gonna drive a car. I’m gonna drive a horse.

Tyler: Mommy, do you know wanna know why the sun goes down at night and it gets dark? Mommy: Sure. Tyler: God made it like that so if people wanna do fireworks, it will be dark so they can see them.

Tyler (talking to Mom and Dad): I don’t need to ask permission for snacks now that I’m a big brother, right?

Pocahontas

June 20th, 2009 by Mariah

Today I rented Pocahontas from the library for Tyler. We were watching it together this morning. During the scene where Pocahontas and John Smith 1st meet, they are singing together and holding hands. Tyler turned to me and asked.. “Mom, when I grow up so big, can I go in the t.v. and hold hands with that girl too?” Aww, I guess my little guy has a crush. Does it get much cuter than that?

I’m Gonna Be a Fireman When I Get Big

April 10th, 2009 by Mariah

Tyler and I have been joining a friend each Wednesday morning for story-time at the Nampa Library. Tyler loves it. They alternate reading a kids book and singing a song. Then they read, then they sing. It is a great mix for the active boys that my friend Natalie and I have..

Today, after story-time, Tyler and I were walking to our car and saw a firetruck parked outside of the fire station. Ty asked if we could go look at it. There was no one inside of the truck and they didn’t appear to be leaving, so I said yes. I guess that I underestimated the awesomeness of the Nampa Fire department. It was almost like they were waiting for us to walk up.. About 6 firemen came out of the station before we made it to the truck. I asked if it was ok for us to look at the truck, to which they responded, “Of course!”

They opened the truck up for Tyler and pulled out a plastic fireman’s hat to give to him. They gave him a sticker badge to wear on his shirt. They let him climb into the back of the truck to check out the hoses. He got to try on a pair of firefighter boots, sit in the drivers seat, put on the headphones and even turn on the lights and sirens! Tyler was in paradise!!

He has been telling Shaun and I that he wants to be a police man when he “grows so big,” but after today’s experience; he told me that now he wants to be a fireman when he grow so big

The Nampa Fire Department Rocks!!!

Sunny Day

April 5th, 2009 by Mariah

Well, it snowed yesterday… Yah, I know. It’s April. But we live in Idaho. Apparently the state of Idaho doesn’t understand that it SHOULD be warming up by now!! That’s ok. Today was a warm 62 degrees and sunny. It really didn’t feel all that bad. I guess maybe we are getting used to the cold? Who knows, but it sure was nice for the boys to be able to go outside to play without freezing!

Zoo Day

April 3rd, 2009 by Mariah

A few weeks ago I planned a zoo trip. Daddy had a meeting that day, and brother decided he wanted to stay home. So Mommy and Tyler had a special zoo day together. The weather was not too cold and we enjoyed each other’s company. Although, it is not as easy to chase a 3 year old around at the zoo when you’re alone and six months pregnant. But we had a great time together!
