Chris Starting up the Grill HAHA

We stayed in this awesome house that was walking distance to Disney and had plenty of room for all 19 of us.  

Worn out Kiddos

On our Way out We Went to Universal Studios and Swapped Kid Watching so We could go On the Rides

And met some of the Transformers, Tanner jumped straight into the nearest family members arms when he saw this guy.  Freaked him right out.  It was definitely a busy vacation but it was so fun and we made so many wonderful memories.

We had a blast this summer with BBQ's, family gatherings, playing in the sun and trying to relax between all the craziness.  

We ended summer/started the fall with moving into our new house. The boys love having the new space and the swing set out back.  

I am sure missing that warm weather right now:-)

  William started crawling the stairs right after we moved in and would try to carry toys up and down from the play room, he was just 7 months old.  Silly kid.  

I Love A Sleeping Baby (Yes I Still Consider T My Baby)

Will seems to Like to Jump Himself to Sleep

William could play up here for hours

We also went to the Zoo a couple times in the fall.  

In September Chris and I went to an Aggie football game together for the first time.  The Ambassadors had a reunion before the game, it was great for Chris to see some of his friends.  My parents took the kids and it was such a fun date night with my hubby!

William's Baby Blessing

We blessed William on 4/28/13.  Chris gave him the most beautiful baby blessing.  We had a lunch at our house after and we are so grateful to all of our friends and family who came to support us.  We love you William Christopher!!!

Thanks Nicole for making Will's cake for me!

Easter

Chris' parents hosted an Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt for the family.  Tanner had a blast searching for eggs with his cousins and even more fun eating all the yummy candy!  Thanks Alan & Kathy!

Trip to Cali

In March Chris had to spend a work week in California visiting his clients and going to a conference so the rest of us tagged along.  It was so nice to enjoy some warm weather and get out of the house. The first place we stayed at had a playground right outside our room, a pool, and lots of grass to run and play on.  Tanner was in heaven.  The road trip started out rough with Will's acid re flux issues and a couple blowouts but for being 2 and 7 weeks old I thought the boys did pretty well.  During the day while Chris worked we either played at the hotel, went to a park or swam in the pool.  Chris surprised us by staying the weekend and going to the big aquatic center there and a day trip to Disneyland...I had never been so this was a REALLY big deal.  Disneyland in March was awesome, we hardly had to wait in any lines.  It was definitely hard trying to feed a 7 week old every few hours while still entertaining the toddler.  It was really nice to experience the magic on a quiet day with my little family.  After we got home Tanner wanted to watch videos from the trip on our phones.  

Chris' work conference was in San Diego so that night we went to mission beach to let T see the ocean for the first time.  Then we rode some carnival rides and went out to eat.

Tanner was not so sure about the butterflies this ride gave him!

Chris and Tanner at mission beach

This was the Aquarium Center we went to, it's two floors full and they even have an outside arena that has sharks in it-Yikes!

Tanner found Nemo

 And tried to take Dude Crush's shell home;-)

The sharks were 7-9 feet long, I couldn't get a good picture with T in it

This guy got so worn out

On our way to the happiest place on earth...he had no idea what was in store!

He's such a big boy now

Before we left to go back home we stopped at the beach again.  

It was definitely a little crazy having to travel place to place for work but we are so glad that Chris let us join him on the trip!  Thanks babe:-)

Tanner's 2nd Birthday!

Tanner's Birthday was so fun this year.  We kept it pretty low key as we had just added William to the family a week prior.  Tanner was way into Buzz Lightyear which made for easy planning on my part.   We celebrated on the day of his birthday with the Bybee side.  He was much more into the cake part of it than he was last year.  He was "wow'd" by all the Buzz decor.  I loved seeing his face light up. 

Before the party started:-)

Singing, he's a professional

Love that face

He was having a hard time waiting to dig in!

Priceless

We celebrated a week or so later with my family.  More cake and more presents, T was in HEAVEN!!!

Our Tanner is quite the character.  He loves Buzz, trains, cars and making friends.  Tanner is such a sensitive boy.  He loves to make friends where ever he goes and wants to make everyone happy.  If he ever gets in trouble he usually is crying because he feels bad; and always want to hug to make it all better.  Tanner is my cuddle bug, I love having lazy days with him and watching movies snuggled up on the couch.  T is a clean freak lol.  He does not like to get dirty and on top of that when he is done playing with his toys he puts them back exactly where he got them.  He also tends to be a little particular sometimes about his things.  He's very picky about what shoes he likes to wear and doesn't like to get his hair done. He loves to play on our electronics and knows how to work them better than we do.  He has processes to get to his puzzles and books for each one.  He's even found cartoons on you tube even after we hid it....stinker! He's such a good kid and I am so grateful to be his mom.  We love you T!!!
