Look-A-Likes

So after we put Taryn's first haircut pictures up, grandma did some digging and found some other pictures.

What do you think?

Before the haircut, she looks like Mommy

After, she looks a lot like Grandma

Taryn's First Haircut

Before - she had hair in her eyes & her nick name was "scruf-a-muffin"

After - we just had the bangs cut - they are kinda short & maybe a little crooked, but it was free and we were only there a few minutes

Mommy said she is growing up too fast! & also - the scratch under her eye is from her own little tantrums that she has mastered lately, it wasn't me :)

We Love Zoos!

We have been traveling around going to all the zoos lately. Well, actually just the Watertown Zoo & the Fargo Zoo.

A couple of weekends ago, we met Papa & Mama in Fargo. We had lots of fun.

Here is a picture of Taryn eating take out. She did a really good job.

Then the next day Papa bought me the hat at the zoo. I told him that I looked like a cowboy!

Here is a cute picture of something new that daddy has taught Taryn.

When we were at the Watertown zoo this weekend, I showed mommy & daddy how big I was compared to the birds.

Also, zoo got a new baby bear this spring - he is really cute

Yep, we are still around

One would think that since it has been over a month since I've last blogged, that maybe we won the lottery & disappeared, but nope - we have just been very boring.

Here are some pictures of us from the last month.

Here is me with my cousin Paige. Mommy's cousin Chas taught us how to line dance and my Aunt H & Uncle Sam's reception. I had so much fun that night, I don't think I ever stepped off the dance floor!

Me and mommy went to the circus! Taryn had pink eye, so she stayed home with daddy. I was so excited to go to the circus, I kept asking as we drove there . . . "is this this the circus? Is this the circus?" Well when we finally go there, mommy bought me some popcorn! That was my favorite part. When people ask me about the circus, all I tell this is that you have to get popcorn.

Here is Taryn - she is getting so big. She says "uh uh", "buh bye" "sucka", along with "dada" & "mama". Just so you don't think we are being taught naughty words - that is Taryn's version of sucker - we get a sucker at Barb's when we leave everyday - it is Taryn's favorite part of the day. She bites & crunches that sucker right away & it is completely gone by the time we get home.

Here I am, this is what I love to do - just hang out. I can't wait for summer, though. I have so many plans, between the zoo, the parks, my trike & our swing set - I am gonna be BUSY!

Grandma bought Taryn these pretty ballet jammies. Isn't she cute?

Like mother, like daughter

So, do you think that Taryn notices that mommy is on her phone . . . alot? She even "talks" when she has the phone to her ear.

Hide & Seek - Tyson style

So the other day, Tyson wanted to play Hide & Seek, I was to hide first. As I went to find my hiding spot, Tyson began counting in the kitchen. I heard the following, "one, two, free, four, fibe, six, seben, eight, nine, ten, eleben, twelbe, firteen, sebenteen, nineteen, fourteen, twenty, one, two . . . (continuing one more round) . . .twenty! Ready or not, here I go"

Well, I was hiding behind his bedroom door, all he had to do was walk into his room & he would clearly see me, but the light was off. I guess in his 3 yr old mind, I would never be in that room, so he only walked by, didn't see me and continued on. So I heard him calling out, "mommy, where are you?" & giggling! Meanwhile, Taryn realized that she couldn't see me, so she started to cry. I watched her stand there crying for me, while I "hid" from Tyson (I know . . .mom of the year). After looking for me for a while Tyson stopped at a sad little Taryn and put his hand on her back and said "It's ok baby, we will find mommy!" After a little while, I jumped out from behind the door, scared the heck out of Tyson, then he laughed and said "Yeah mommy, I found you!"

I guess in Tyson's games, he always wins!

Growing Up

Taryn is getting so big! She is out of her highchair & sits in my booster seat. She is also starting to use a spoon & fork. She does a really good job eating - food only ends up on the floor, when she is done eating (& usually there isn't much left over)
