The day before my birthday I had planned a family activity for us. We went and got some lunch at Zupas and then went to the art museum at BYU. We were on our way home when I saw my uncle's car on the freeway. They had seen us and thought they had blown the surprise, but really guys, I am not that smart! I just assumed they had some place to go down in our area. Lucas had ordered pizza to the house and it was supposed to get there well before us. Well, it didn't, and this is the part that really made me feel stupid! As we pulled up to the house there was a pizza delivery guy walking away from our door. I asked him who ordered pizza and he responded that the people who lived here did. I responded that we lived here and asked again who had ordered. He said the parents of the people who lived here ordered. I was getting frustrated and again told him that that would be US! Panic started to set in a little as I was wondering who was in my house. Who would do that? Who goes into someone else's house while they are gone and orders pizza? I think the pizza guy had seen the decorations and kind of knew what was going on, because he said, "If it helps, they were really nice people!" I am sorry to the poor pizza guy for freaking out on you! Please don't tell everyone you met a crazy lady today!
Lucas was doing an awesome job of playing along. He was acting upset that someone was in our house and convinced me to go inside with him to see what was going on. As we walked in, I was surprised by family! How did I not put the pieces together?? I mean, hello! I was turning 30 the next day!! I felt pretty dumb! Lucas was upset that the surprise had been ruined. Really, honey? I would say he pulled it off perfectly! I didn't have a clue it was happening! Thank you Lucas for putting so much into giving me a surprise party. It made me feel special! Trust me, I WAS surprised!
A week later, my little man turned 2 months old! He is such a happy baby! He loves to smile and laugh and try to talk to us! He is pretty much sleeping through the night consistently now and is growing like a weed! At his 2 month check-up he was in the 75th percentile for everything! He is wearing the size of clothes that Madilyn wore at 4 months. Tyson bring us so much joy and we are so blessed to have him!
And we can't forget to mention Miss Madilyn! She is learning like crazy! She can say so many words now. (Here's the part where I list words she can say and you skim over and don't read, but I am listing anyway for my own records!) She can say: please, thank you, love you, night, bubbles, ouch, uh oh, cracker, cheese, juice, shoes, hi, bye, baby, grandma, grandpa, diaper, up, down, purple, blue, green, hand, arm, eye, toes, no, yes, mouse, pretty, dad, mom, okay, yummy, bib, light
Madilyn loves to read books, color, go for walks, wash her hands, and help with Tyson. She loves to share and places toys all around Tyson while he is napping! She is practicing colors and the A B C's. She is also practicing saying prayers.
Lucas also went to Arizona for a golf trip with his dad, brother, and friends. We sure missed him, and are glad to have him back. After a hotel mix-up, he ended up at a motel that looked like the stuff horror movies are made of. It was seriously nasty! He would send us pictures and we would pray he didn't get some disease or attacked! At least he has a story to tell now! He brought Madilyn a little monkey that says "Phoenix" on it. She grabbed it and slept with it in her arms the whole night. It was so cute!
