Tylee Turns 4!

2009-02-13T08:17:00.001-08:00

We had a little party at Peter Piper Pizza!
I made some cupcakes and they loved it!

I can't believe my baby is 4. She is getting so big and I love her so much. She is such a happy little girl. She amazes me every day. We are lucky to have such a beautiful girl. We love you Tylee Happy Birthday!

Tinsley's Blessing Day!

2009-02-13T08:06:00.000-08:00

Proud Brother and Sister!

Proud Mommy and Daddy!

She was blessed in the same dress that I was blessed in. I love all of the frills. I can't believe she can fit into it and that it held up 26 years.

We blessed her February 1st. That's right the same day as the Super Bowl. We decided to lump it all together and have one big party! It was a great day and she is officially...

Auntie took Tylee and Tayte to Bass Pro so Tyler and I coudd go on a date. The kids had a blast they saw Santa, wrote letters to him, and saw the reindeer. Thanks Auntie for babysitting. Now all the kids can say is "I am so glad Auntie came to babysit us! We love her!" Here are some cute pictures from the event it really is tons of fun!

All of the cousins came over one Sunday afternoon and we all carved pumpkins. Here is the finished product!

Missouri Trip

2008-11-11T07:18:00.000-08:00

This post is long overdue. Back in September we took a road trip to Missouri and Arkansas. My mother-in-laws parents live there. I have only met them once and the kids never have. Here are some pics of the beautiful scenery. We had so much fun! We miss you Mamaw and Papaw!

1st day of Preschool!

2008-09-08T08:11:00.000-07:00

Tylee just started preschool last week and she is so excited. She has wanted to go to school ever since she started talking. Miss Pam and Miss Jenny are her teachers and she loves them. I can't believe how big my little girl is getting!

It's a Girl!

2008-07-30T09:03:00.000-07:00

I had my ultrasound on July 21st and as far as the Dr could tell...it was a girl. Tyler knew all along and he has been right with every pregnancy! We are so excited and Tylee can't wait. She keeps saying that her name will be Melissa, but I think we are going to stick with the T names. Help us out and if any of you know of any cute unique girl T names, let us know!

Tayte's 2!

2008-07-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

For Tayte's 2nd birthday I thought I would copy one of my cousins ideas and have a carnival type party in my parent's backyard. It was so much fun and Tayte had a blast. We might just have to make it a yearly tradition.

Bigler Family Reunion

2008-07-30T08:55:00.000-07:00

Every year the Bigler family reunion has been in Heber. This year it was in Taylor at the park. It was so much fun. It was good to visit with everyone. At the end all the grandpas got dressed up and all the grandchildren got to squirt them. Here is Tylee and Tayte squirting Papa!

4th of July!

2008-07-30T08:50:00.000-07:00

For the 4th of July we went up to my parents cabin and then went and watched Tyler play softball with his brothers. It was so nice up there and the kids loved being able to play outside. But they hated the fireworks. Tayte hates loud noises and so he hated the fireworks. Oh well...maybe they will do better next year!

It's Official!

2008-07-01T08:05:00.000-07:00

Baby #3 is on the way! I am about 13 weeks along. My due date is January 8th. We are really excited and it is all Tylee and Tayte can talk about. I am going to have a lot of help. We will keep you all posted on the gender. I have my ultrasound scheduled for July 21st.

Swim Lessons

2008-06-10T21:19:00.001-07:00

We put Tylee in swim lessons this year and she is doing so good. At first she hated it and screamed the whole time, but now she loves it. Here are some pics of her at the pool and with her teacher Miss Shelley.

An AMAZING Vacation!

2008-05-06T16:47:00.000-07:00

We recently got back from a 7 day cruise(our first one) to the Caribbean. It was awesome. We went with our friends The Binghams. We hit 6 different islands, a different one every day.

Here is the Breakdown...
Saturday: Catch the red eye flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Sunday: Walk around Puerto Rico all day and saw a famous fort. Boarded the Cruise ship late Sunday Night

Monday: St. Thomas/St. Johns
When we got to St. Thomas we rented a jeep and drove to the ferry, where we took the Jeep over to St. John. On St. John we went to Trunk Bay(one of the top 5 beaches in the world) and snorkeled for the first time. It was raining just a little but it didn't matter because we were in the water the whole time.

Tuesday: Dominica
Dominica was a different island because it was mostly rainforest instead of beaches. We went to two waterfalls that were beautiful. The first is Emerald Pool, where you see Tyler jumping through and the second was Trafalgar Falls. The picture of us together is under the waterfall. It was quite the hike to get right under the falls. Totally worth it!

Wednesday: Barbados
Before we went on the cruise, Julie Bingham had done some research to find out what to do on Barbados. She found a travel blog from someone who had already visited and said to take the city bus to Harrison's Cave. Which would cost us $.75 instead of $50 for a taxi. We did, much to all the "locals" surprise. It was a cool cave and it only took us a couple of hours. After the cave we went to this place called "The Boatyard". It was a beach with a bunch of water games. It had a rock wall, trampoline, and rope swing all out in the ocean. Here are some pics of us in the cave, laying on the beach, and jumping off the trampoline.

Thursday: St. Lucia
St. Lucia was mostly a fishing island, so we decided to take a boat to one of their waterfalls and to see a volcano. The falls were fun, but the best part was outside the falls there was this woman, "Big Mama" and she was grilling chicken. It was the best chicken I have ever had. Then we went to volcano...little did we know it was a sulfur volcano and it really did smell like rotten eggs!

Friday: Antigua
This was the day we had been looking forward to. Antigua has 365 beaches so we decided to rent scooters and drive to a few of them. Our favorite was Carlisle Bay. It had the softest beach chairs and the most beautiful water...we relaxed and read books and then went to Turner Beach to eat lunch. It was so relaxing.

Saturday: St. Kitts
On this island we went snorkeling again. This was fun because we got to see a sunken 18th century ship. Then we went and relaxed on the beach again. It was definately good to have a relaxing last day.

Sunday: Home
We got home Sunday night and it was good to be HOME! We missed our kids so much. I think we became better parents after a trip like that!

Tayte's 1st Father's and Sons Outing

2008-05-02T16:53:00.000-07:00

Tayte had his first fathers and sons outing a couple of weekends ago. Tyler and his dad, his brothers Ryan and Brannon and Brannon's son Bryce all went. They had a great time, even though they were freezing. Tayte did awesome and snuggled next to daddy all night long...

Before Tayte's Surgery...

After Surgery...

2008-02-28T10:18:00.000-08:00

On Febuary 7th, Tayte had his tonsils out. Last year he had 6 strep throats. The doctor finally decided to get his tonsils out. As you can tell he is such a trooper. Right after surgery he looks so sad. He is doing great now and I finally have my sanity back :)

Tylee's 3rd Birthday

2008-02-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

This year we had Tylee's birthday party at the park by our house. She had so much fun! I can't believe that she is 3 already. She is such a joy to have in our home and such a little helper. We love her! Happy Birthday!

The Polar Express

2007-11-29T07:59:00.000-08:00

We went and rode the Grand Canyon Railway, AKA the Polar Express. The kids had so much fun drinking hot chocolate, eating cookies and seeing the North Pole. Santa even came on the train and gave both of them a bell. By the end of the ride they were both tired and hungry, but it was well worth the trip. Tylee has been reading the book, Polar Express and watching the movie non-stop. She was in awe of how big it was. We are so grateful for our little family and love them so much!

Peter Piper Pizza Tradition

2007-10-10T22:13:00.000-07:00

Every week we try to meet up with some friends or family at Peter Piper Pizza or Peter Peter Pizza as Tylee would call it, for lunch. Here are some pics of the fun times we have trying to keep them all in control! (if there is such a thing).

Disney Playhouse Tour

2007-10-10T22:07:00.000-07:00

My mother-in-law and I took Tylee to the Disney Playhouse Tour this week. She was so excited to see Handy Manny, Tigger and Pooh, Little Einsteins, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Her favorite was the Little Einsteins. She heard a little boy in the foyer say he wanted to see the Little Einsteins and she looked at me and said, "No, mommy they're my Little Einsteins". She had so much fun. It took the whole show to finally get a picture of her looking at me and not the stage. She is so big. I love her so much!

Family Reunions

2007-10-10T22:03:00.001-07:00

Tyler's cousin Breck from Arkansas was in Tempe waiting for his visa so that he could go on his mission to Uraguay. While he was here he was able to go out to lunch with Tyler and Ryan. They had a blast catching up on old times.

Happy 27th Tyler!

2007-10-10T21:57:00.000-07:00

Tyler just celebrated his birthday on September 21st. Just wanted to wish him a great birthday. Love ya babe!!

Resort Living!

2007-10-10T21:03:00.000-07:00

Tyler's work recently had some of their employees stay at the Marriott Resort in Desert Ridge. We were lucky enough to be guests there for a night. It was so fun. Tyler had a meeting Friday night and afterward we went and ate at Maggiano's. It was delicious. We then went to a movie. It was an awesome date night! Here are some pics of the resort! It was beautiful.

No Nap?

2007-08-20T15:00:00.000-07:00

So I am trying this new thing with Tylee where I don't give her an afternoon nap so that she will go to bed earlier and I can have some time to myself. Well yesterday was the first day...she stayed awake all day...pretty good right? Well pretty soon I went and checked on her in the playroom and this is how I found her!...Guess I will have to try harder :)

Tayte's no longer a BABY!

2007-08-20T14:54:00.000-07:00

Tayte is all over the place. Yesterday he was playing with the phone and holding it up to his ear. Hmm, don't know where he learned that :). I was just sitting there watching him thinking he is so BIG. Pretty soon he goes "Hi, Da Da." Plain as day. Maybe I just was hearing things but he is really growing up!

Tylee's Rash

2007-08-11T09:53:00.000-07:00

One Morning we woke up and Tylee had this amazing rash. It totally freaked us out and of course it was the weekend...so we took her to Urgent Care. They told us it was just a viral rash and it should go away in a few days...sure enough it did but in the meantime, it looked FREAKISH!!

Tayte Turned 1!

2007-08-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Can you believe Tayte just turned 1! We had a party at Peter Piper Pizza. He loved it...especially the CAKE!!
