The Little Things In Life

I know it has been FOREVER since I blogged, but as usual things have been very crazy around here.  I won't bore you with all the details, but it all has really worn me out!  So to enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day with my family was just what I needed!  To most families going to a movie is just a "normal" thing to do.  With a family like ours it is something that we may never be able to do as a family.  But Joel and I's philosophy has always been, "Let's try and see!" So we did.  The whole family went to the movie yesterday!  A 3D movie no less.  During naptime. And . . . it was awesome!  Both boys were great during it.  Tyson sat the entire movie with those crazy looking glasses on, eating popcorn, and enjoying every second!  Charlie didn't love the glasses, but he loved the movie.  Towards the end he was a little antsy, but for the most part he was awesome too!  I just love it when we can spend quality time as a family!

The next best Mother's Day present has to be not having to change a poopy diaper.  Well guess what? Charlie spent the weekend pooping IN THE POTTY!!  He is nowhere near potty trained, but if I catch him in the act he will poop IN THE POTTY!  I am sure I complained enough to all of you to know that Tyson was a NIGHTMARE to potty train.  It was especially hard to get him to poop.  But Charlie pooped IN THE POTTY on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and already today!!  We did not change ONE poopy diaper ALL weekend!!  What a great weekend!

Now enough about poop, here are a couple pictures of my boys.  Enjoy!

Easter Weekend

We had a nice relaxing Easter weekend at the Lundstrom house. 


We dyed some Easter eggs with the neighbors:

Flew our new kites from Grandma and Grandpa Lundstrom:

Had a visit from the Easter Bunny:

 

Played some baseball:

One Last KSU Basketball Post!

The basketball team was at the baseball game last night.  Coach Frank Martin threw out the first pitch.  We, of course, were running late and missed that, but as we walked up there they were!  The Elite 8 Basketball Team!!  I am not sure who was more excited, the kids or me. But anyway, we walked around and got all of their autographs and some pictures.  They were so nice to the kids.  Tyson was thoroughly confused why they were at the baseball game, but he hung in there.  It was so awesome.  

For those who don't know who they are, the first picture is Dominique Sutton #23 with the kids.  The second picture is Dominique Sutton, Curtis Kelly #24, and Jamar Samuels #32 with the kids.

Our K-State Fan

We have now watched K-State lose to Kansas 3 times this year.  We went to the game here, we went to the game at Lawrence, and then this weekend we went to the Big 12 tournament and watched them lose in the championship game.  Man that stinks!  We took Tyson to all 3 of these games too.  The one highlight to all of this is that he got to meet Chris Merriewether #31.  Merriewether right now is Tyson's favorite player.  Most of you probably have not heard of him, but he is one of Tyson's favorites.  We waited after the game this weekend to meet him.  While waiting Tyson got Denis Clemente's autograph.  Most of you have probably heard of him, he is kind of a big deal around here.  But Tyson was WAY more excited to see #31, a senior on KSU who rarely gets to play.  His fiance helped Tyson get his attention.  When he came out of the tunnel Tyson yells, "Merriewether!" and he looked up.  Tyson took his program down to him to have him autograph it.  Tyson held the book while he signed, grinning from ear to ear.  We then asked for a picture and this is what we got.  It explains his excitement better than I could ever do!

Things Charlie Likes

Charlie likes to "help" me with the computer.  He also thinks it is really fun to take off all of his clothes and hang out in his diaper.  He also likes to take the diaper off and watch the waterfall, if you know what I mean.

Charlie likes to torture his brother.  He thinks it is big fun to tackle Tyson.  As you can see Tyson does not think it is big fun.

Charlie likes water.  Since it has been a very cold, yucky winter here, he has had to improvise.  If I only had a video of this.  He seriously thought this was the funniest thing he had ever seen.

I accept any and all advice from parents on what to do with a kid like this!

Tae Kwon Do

Isn't that one of the cutest things you have ever seen?

Basketball Season with Tyson (sorry a little wordy)

So we are down to one more home K-State game, I can't believe it.  This season has been awesome.  Tyson has loved every second of every game, even the really loud ones.  He knows every player on our team.  He knows that when he sees the Jayhawks you boo.  He knows who Frank Martin is.  He knows that he loves the WILDCATS!  His favorite player changes sometimes but it is most consistently Dominique Sutton #23, who truly is a great player. 

It is just so fun to watch him.  He HAS to get a program at every game.  Cadence, our neighbor girl, brings $2 with her to every game so she can get one for her and one for Tyson, so sweet.  He looks forward to seeing who is on the front of it at every game.  During the game he knows all the cheers, songs, dances, everything!  He is always just a little ahead of everyone else because he just can't wait.  After the game he always tries to get to the tunnel to possibly get a high five from any player.  One week he got a high five from Jamar Samuels #32 and he thought was the greatest thing in the world.  One week he got Dominque Sutton to autograph his jersey.  We always hang around to see if we can get any of the team's autographs.  We have gotten a lot of them!  This week he even got Frank Martin's.  Frank was walking into the tunnel and Cadence yelled, "Frank!"  He turned around and came back to sign their programs.  Pretty cool I must say.

This year has been full of visitors too.  Darrin Sproles was at a game (we didn't get his autograph), George Brett, lots of previous K-State players, and this week JORDY NELSON!  I have been waiting for this one all year.  I just knew he would be at one.  So we waited after the game, stalked him like any true Packer fan would, and got him to sign Tyson's hat.  I am sure that this was a way bigger deal to me than Tyson, but it sure looks better with a 6 year old kid instead of a crazy 32 year old woman!

OK, so I just figured out that some of you might not know who he is.  He used to play football for KSU and now he is a wide receiver for the GREEN BAY PACKERS!!
