"More Fireworks Please"

Tyson and Charlie both loved the 4th of July this year. I am not sure if it was the company or the fun that we had. Mama and Hopa Lundstrom, Aunt Lisa, Krista, Cousin Ben and Alicia, and Cousin Jason were all here visiting. It was a houseful, but Tyson would love it if his whole entire family lived in one house. We watched fireworks, danced (more to come on this one), made smores, and watched motorcycles jump and do tricks. Tyson has asked everyday since then for "more fireworks, please!" I don't think he is going to be able to wait a whole year!

First Camping Trip

Here we are, the whole family, camping at the lake over the weekend. We decided on a whim on Saturday afternoon to go camping. So again, I put all the laundry, house cleaning, lawn mowing, and yard work (feel free to ask Joel, he will tell you all about it) on hold and packed up and went camping. I wasn't sure that you should take a four month old camping, but he was absolutely wonderful. I think he is going to be an outdoors man. Tyson loved every minute of it and wanted to help every step of the way. Both boys slept through the night, while Joel and I laid awake wondering why we didn't pack the air mattress.

Here we are picking up sticks for firewood. Tyson helping put up the tent. To prove how bad of parents we are Tyson calls this a "church".

It seems like all you do while you are camping is eat. So here we are eating!


We even got to see the fireworks for the Country Stampede. It was great because we could watch the fireworks over the water, but they were far enough away that we didn't hear the boom. (Charlie and the neighbor's dogs were already sleeping.)

And finally, we sleep! What a great day!

Have You Seen My Baseball?

Junction City is a town about 20 minutes from Manhattan. They have a baseball team called the Junction City Generals that are really fun to go and watch. Last night was awesome outside, so we loaded up our neighbors and their 2 daughters, Tyson, and Charlie and headed to the game. We got there and the other team had failed to show up so we watched Junction City play Junction City and then they had a homerun derby. It was pretty fun. Since it was such a laid back night, we were able to get 2 baseballs. For all of you that know Tyson you know he loves his baseballs! And as you all know he has a tendency to throw them at people when they are not looking. So, he performed as usual and Joel had to take it away and hid it in his pocket. We were walking out of the stadium at the end of the night and Tyson realized that he no longer had his baseball. There was a random woman walking into the stadium the same time we were walking out and Tyson looked at her and so innocently said, "Have you seen my baseball?"

So You Think You Can Dance

Our friends Natalie and Chris got married this weekend and Tyson went to the reception with us for awhile. He was the life of the party! Joel and I had never seen these dance moves before, they came out of nowhere. He just feels the music and goes with it! Here is a brief demonstration of the new dance moves.

We would also like to thank my mom for coming down and babysitting for us. We know it was a long drive and a short visit, but it was truly appreciated. She even pulled the all nighter with Charlie so I could sleep. How fantastic! Thanks Mom, we owe you!
