So is it me or does Tylie look so old all of the sudden?! She is getting really tall. She has always been in the 20-25 percentile and last week after going to the doc, she is currently in the 40th! I know, who would have thought?

Well, we celebrated Ty's birthday with my family last Sunday. Okay so this birthday cake seems a little random for a two year old, but Tylie LOVES the Disney movie UP. She never gets sick of it, loves to watch it all of the time! So it just seemed to fit.

After being so sick all week and missing a whole week of work, I decided to order a birthday cake. My dad insisted that we make one and said that he could help me with the house- NO PROBLEM. He said he had been watching Cake Boss a lot lately and he is pretty much pro now. So, I got started on the layers of cake for the house and he decided rice crispy treat would be perfect for the roof...Bri gets all the credit for decorating...My dad and I were SOOO over it by that time. Man, the Cake Boss makes it look so easy!

Jeff had to work on Sunday so he and Kristin gave Ty her presents early....YEP another Elmo...this one talks and spins. She is in love and says his name is Elmo Bulkee.

My parents got her this radio flyer. I think it is so cute!

Tylie continues to bring so much happiness into our home and we love her to pieces. Two years seems like it has flown by, but on the other hand we have a hard time remembering life before her. We just love having her around. Tylie is so sweet, but definitely has a lot of SASS. Last night I said "Tylie it's time for bed" to which she replied "No Mommy, Don't say that, don't say that." Some things that she says are so funny. Randomly, she will come up to us and get in our face and say "whatcha doding?" or when we leave and say bye Tylie, she says "Bye, I yove you, have fun." After spending a weekend with her cousins, she can identify a few of them by picture. It's really cute, she says Ba for Bailee Liv for Livi, Zo Zo for Zoey and Riber for River. Now she needs to work on the other 15 of them! I guess we know who made the biggest impression on her :) She loves to dance and LOVES to sing! She is counting to 10, knows all her colors and we are working on her ABC's. She is our little sunshine and we are so glad she is a part of our family! We love you Tylie Belle, you make life so exciting.

Tender Moments

This morning I woke up feeling even worst than I did yesterday! I thought about going to Urgent Care to get checked out...I HATE URGENT CARE! I called my primary care doctor instead...no appointments, so off to Urgent Care we went! We walked into a FULL HOUSE, Ugh really?! I asked the lady behind the desk how long the wait was, she estimated 1 1/2 hours. After going back and forth in my head whether or not I should stay, I decided we would wait it out! All I wanted was to be in my bed snuggled up to my little lady resting while she watched a movie. Tylie was ultra snugly in the waiting room, I think she thought we were there for her. I confirmed we were here for Mommy. She started getting a little bit more comfortable. We all know how hard it is for a toddler to be waiting for that long, but it's as if she knew I couldn't deal with THAT Tylie today. It's as if she knew I was sick. She was such an angel! I was so grateful for her goodness! By the time we got out of that hole it had taken 3 hours! NO! I'M NOT EXAGGERATING!! Got there at 8:30, walked out the door at 11:30. I was so not prepared to wait that long, I had no snacks and only one diaper. I was so glad to look in my purse as we were waiting to find a Mickey Mouse sucker that my friends brought back from Disneyland last week (thank you Dawn and Shanti)! It was a life savor and kept her occupied for maybe 1 out of the 3 hours! Well, even though it was a long morning, I sure am glad I went, as the doctor confirmed it being Strep. The best part of my morning was seeing such a sweet side of Ty. I love how now that she is older, she is so in tune with people's feelings. As we were sitting there, every time I would cough she would pat me and stroke my hair and say "Ohhh mama you okay?" in a concerned little voice. I love this little girl and am grateful for her in my life. Even at my low, she is there to lift me right back up. She is such a blessing and I hope she will always be so sweet!

WARNING: Picture overload!!!

We had such a FUN holiday weekend with Shane's family! Shane's mom bought a house in St. George so we all met there which is a pretty good mid point for everyone. I think we were the only ones who hadn't made it up to see her house, but it was beautiful and we are so happy for her. We love when everyone gets together! We had 5 out of 6 siblings there which is pretty darn good. Those who have big families know that it isn't always the easiest thing getting everyone together! We had a great time relaxing, shopping, boy time playing sports, swimming, girls night out, celebrating, heart attacking the house for the kids, talking, playing games...you name it, it was action packed! The highlight being my sister in-law having her twin babies (a boy and girl) the morning before we all got into town. It was a surprise because she was only 31 weeks but they are doing pretty good considering how teeny tiny they are!

I love watching the cousins play together!

Disney Yahtzee with Uncle Jason

Fashion Show wearing all of the latest styles...and by latest I mean all of Aunt Jana's Prom dresses from High School.

Celebrating Valentines day. I wish I took more pics of the kids in the morning opening their Valentines! This is River, isn't he ADORABLE he is closest in age to Ty, just a couple months apart. (Ty calls him Riber)

GUESS WHO TURNED TWO?

We spent the afternoon at Tylie's favorite place...the park.

Canyon and Bailee! Poor Canyon he is surrounded by girls most of the time, but he doesn't seem to mind!

Mom, Jana and sweet Kellen

Opening presents

Tylie and Grandma. Except instead of calling her Grandma she calls her Bulkley.

So the 6 hour drive home took us 8 hours! I guess what can you expect on a holiday weekend? It was worth every minute. Look what we came home to though! Someone loves this little girl! She loved it- was so excited when we walked up and all she could do was shout BAWOONS BAWOONS and a creepy little giggle :)

Now after all that fun, Ty and I are home sick. This is what we've been up to all day! Not so fun! Although, I could get used to this blogging in bed thing!

Stay tuned for more birthday celebrations with my fam. You think they would let her birthday pass by, just because we were out of town? I think not...she is the only grandchild on my side and she is so darn spoiled! Better get well soon!

I Heart You!!!

Hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day! We sure did!

<3,

Shane,Chelsea and our Valentine

There is a first time for everything...

Me personally? Not a big fan of the dentist! I hate the smell, the tools the atmosphere! I hate everything about it! Tylie had her first Dentist appointment last week and loved it. Look how cool the pediatric dentist's office was!

The sun was clearly in her eyes but she is so excited to be sporting that Elmo and Princess sticker and she got a ball too. Why can't all doctor offices be like this? Then maybe kids wouldn't mind it so much! It's all about the experience folks!

This little girl thinks of something new everyday to crack me up! I love her to death and can't believe she'll be TWO next week! WOW :O How did that happen?!?

So my favorite Tylie-ism as of late...

She gets this really sassy look on her face like the one in the first pic. and the conversation goes like this...

Me: "Tylie, are you cute?"

Ty: "No I not coot, I funny."

Me: "So you're funny?"

Ty: "NO, I not, I coot!"

This girl would live outside if she could, at the park on the slide to be exact. For rainy days like today and this whole past week, we slide inside.

What is it that I absolutely love about a sleeping baby? It could be that she is so peaceful and quiet, so sweet and innocent. I love that she sleeps in one corner all scrunched up. Sometimes late at night Shane and I sneak into Ty's room and watch her sleep, it always ends with how lucky we are to have such a fun, healthy almost Two year old. (can you tell I'm having a hard time with her growing up?!)

She looks so grown up with her little backpack all excited to go to the Hick's house to play.

One more week of sweetness before TERRIBLE TWOS are knocking down our door! Maybe that's why I'm not looking forward to this Birthday!
