Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone is having a nice 3 day weekend. I want to share with you some of the stuff we did this weekend.

** We flew a kite. Daddy decided that we needed to try to fly a kite on Saturday, since it was so windy. Here is a picture of daddy flying the Diego kite.

Here is a picture of us going to get the kite, after daddy let me hold he string. So I decided that kites are cool for a little bit, but walking around the field is much more fun.

Here is Taryn watching us fly our kite

** We went to my friend Carson's grandma & grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary. They had a band. How come nobody ever told me about the greatest dance ever invented? I learned how to do the "Hokey Pokey" I love this dance. I wanted to dance to every song, I made mommy or daddy be out on the dance floor with me all night long. Here is a picture of me doing the hokey pokey.

Hey Aunt H - please make sure that you have a wedding dance, so I can show off my cool moves!!

** Yesterday, me and mommy went to the zoo. It was pretty cool, but I just wanted to walk & walk & walk - mommy had to make me stop and look at the animals. When we went by the bear cage, they were actually up and moving around. I told mommy that they were "cute" and took off to the next cage, but mommy said we were going to take a picture since they were up. I helped them out, by telling them "say cheese, bears". Here is a picture.

** Taryn started eating food this weekend. All she has eaten so far is peas. She loves them, she get so excited when mommy comes over with her bowl of food. She sure makes a mess when she eats.

** Daddy got my sandbox all set up this weekend. I am not sure what to think of it just yet, it has potential to be lots of fun, but it sure is messy.

** These are just some cute pictures of Taryn.

I must be hilarious

Tonight daddy and I were being silly. We are saying "Boo" to Taryn and she must have thought it was very funny, because she laughed and laughed . .

Enjoy the video

What a week!

Wow, we have been really busy lately . . . let me tell you what we have been up to. Well last weekend, mommy & daddy took a mini vacation to Las Vegas. I guess they had fun, but I bet we had more fun. Taryn & I went to Mama & Papa's house in Bismarck. We love to go to thier house - they let us do anything we want. I invented a new game - called "Tyson in a Box"

On Sunday, we went to mommy's cousins' confirmation. Here is a picture of Taryn with her new spring dress.

When we were there, I hit the ball around a little. I am trying to get in some practice, so that maybe daddy will take me with him golfing this summer.

Congratulations to Kaity & Haley! Mommy & daddy are sorry that they missed your day!

Mommy & daddy brought back this helmet and sword, from some place called Caesar's Palace. I think they thought it was cooler than I did . . I haven't played with it yet - that helmet hurts my head.

Thank you Mama & Papa for taking care of us! We had lots of fun and I know mommy & daddy appreciated your help.

Now we come to today - It is both Mother's Day and daddy's 30th birthday! Happy birthday daddy!

We got to go to the zoo! I love the zoo. Our zoo has "kangagoos," "crocdiles," & "moneys" ! Here are some pictures of our day at the zoo.

Here is a big Tiger . . .

Here are some penguins . . .

Here are some ducks . . .

Here is Taryn in her new summer hat . .

After the zoo, we got to go have a treat at Dairy Queen - I got an ice cream cone!

So last weekend, daddy got my swingset all set up ready for me to play - and I played every night this last week - except Friday. That is because Watertown got 19" of snow in 1 day. It started out as rain, so mommy had to dig out my winter coat - I was getting used to wearing my cool "dirt bike" sweatshirt that Aunt H got me last year. After a morning of rain and snow, it got really yucky! They closed mommy's work at 2:00 and she had to drive across town to come and get me and Taryn. It was really scary for her. Here are some pictures once we got home.

The driveway was drifted in, so mommy had to park in the street. Daddy's friends came over on Saturday and help dig mommy's van out of the street and move it into the garage. Daddy was out of town this weekend, so it was hard for mommy to shovel the snow, when she had to watch me and Taryn.

Here is a picture out our patio door -

Most of the snow has melted already & I hope it doesn't come back!

4 Month Check-up

Taryn had her 4 month check-up today. She passed with flying colors! Here are here stats:

Length - 26" 97%

Head - 43.5 cm 95%

Weight - 17 lbs, 13 oz 100+%

That means that if you take 100 baby girls born on the same day as Taryn, she is bigger than all of them. Her weight was off of the chart for a 4 month old. Her doctor was not concerned at all, he said she is growing well and doing great. Here are a few photos from tonight.

My New Swing Set

Just like a lot of things around here, I had to help my dad get my new swing set ready for the summer. We had to attach the slide on Sunday. Daddy gave me a hammer and let me work with him.

Here is me showing Taryn how to climb the stairs and then go down the slide.

I think I am going to have lots of fun on this new swing set this summer!

Koehn's Funniest Home Videos

Hey everyone -

Since my mom was sick last week & we got 10" of snow on Friday, we haven't got to do anything fun. So here are some videos that mommy finally got off of her camera.

Here is Taryn - she was in her car seat and daddy was flipping the canopy up & down. Watch her eyes - it is cute.



This video is from Easter. I got into the Fruit Loops and made a big mess. Aunt Heather took this video. If watch close - you can tell, by my body language, when my mommy came in the kitchen.





This video is from when we went down to Sioux Falls to visit baby Amelia. I found this cool toy for their puppy, Shelby. I think she thought I was going to play with her. Maybe this summer, when we visit, Shelby & I can play this game outside!

Hope you have a good week. I know I am - daddy got me a new swing set, so I can't wait till it gets warmer and I can play on it.
