New Addition
It's a kitty! I'm not sure Preston and I are as excited as Tyson. He never puts that kitty down. Our neighbors have a kitten, and for the past 2 weeks Tyson has been sneaking out the door and going over there for the kitten. I bet I go over there to get him at least 8 times a day. It only took Preston one day of watching him to decide we were going to get him his own kitty. So here he or she is. (We haven't found out yet)
The kitten is grey and white. Here are a couple of names that the kids have thought of. Peyton's names: Rainbow, or Brownie. Tyson's names: Cat, or Meow. Kayson's names: Silver Bullet.
I'm not sure we've all agreed on one name yet. I'll have to update when we decide.
Evening Trampoline Fun
Almost every night the boys beg their dad to go out and jump on the tramp with them. All the boys have been working on their flips. Even Preston has been getting in on it. That's what these next 2 pictures are of. It looks like they are going to land on their heads, but they landed alright.
This last one is a picture of Preston giving Kayson a "Super Bounce". This is their favorite part of jumping with their dad. He bounces them really high in the air and sees if they can land on their feet.
Dinner Time! The "Tyson of the day"
I can't remember if I have shared "Tyson of the day" before. Tyson seems to always keep me busy and usually does at least one thing every day that really frustrates me. My sisters think it is hillarious. They started calling them the "Tyson of the day". Some past "Tysons of the day" have been covering the whole frige in red and blue permenant marker, turning on the full blender without the lid on it, and flushing a lemon down the toilet. So here is today's "Tyson of the day". Here is a picture of the victim. Kate just started eating baby food. I had just given Kate some peaches. She ate them, and then I cleaned her up. I put her in her saucer and walked into my room. A minute later I heard her crying. I walked in and Tyson had gone into the kitchen, gotten the rest of the baby food and had tried to feed her. I don't think she got any in her mouth. There was a trail of food from the kitchen table to the saucer in the front room. The smile on her face is relief to see someone that was going to save her, not that she was enjoying the free food.
Here's the suspect with no remorse what-so-ever. He was pretty proud of himself.
Mom told me that you guys got a kitty. I dont know if I can keep coming to your house if you have a cat (I know it is not a cat yet but it will become one) although I dont know how long it will be around with Tyson tormenting it, I mean loving it.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty impressed that Preston can do flips like that. He is an awesome dad!
The Tyson of the day thing makes me smile. He is so clever and helpful to feed his sister. I love the picture of Kate and Tyson, he is there smiling and she is covered in peaches.
I am glad you got pictures to use as evidence of this. :O) Love you guys

oh p.s. I think that the name suggestions are all great. I think that Peytons name of Rainbow is cute but does not fit since the kitty has NO color. I also like Brownie but I dont know... Tysons choices are cute. I think either of those could work. I also like Kaysons - Silver Bullet is a good name buddy! What did Kate suggest? I think if she had a choice it would be peaches (can you guess why?) I think this cat would be a good peaches.
ReplyDeleteMake sure that Tyson knows NOT to give the kitty a bath (just ask Preston about that one). We have talked about getting a kitty for the kids when we aren't renting anymore but we also think that Miles might be allergic to cats/dogs/horses etc. so we will have to see about that one.
ReplyDeleteTyson of the day stories crack me up! You are so good to take it all in stride. Maybe as he gets older they will become Tyson of the week stories and give you a little break. :)
