Go Pack Go!!!

I know you have all been waiting for this.  I have been a Green Bay Packer fan my whole life, through all the ups and downs.  But we made it!  I am so so so so so so so excited for Superbowl Sunday!!!  I have waited 14 years to go back again!  I can't believe the Packers are in the Superbowl.  Did I already say I am so excited?  Seriously, I feel like a kid again the night before Christmas.  Go Pack Go!!!

On our tour of Lambeau Field.  We are on the field!!

At the game, Bears vs. Packers a couple years ago.  Packers Win!!!

Sleeping Arrangements

This happened back in December while I was wrapping Christmas presents, but I thought it was too cute not to share.  I left the room for one minute and came back to this.  Doesn't it look like just the perfect place to relax and drink some milk?  Oh, Charlie!

Another One Bites the Dust

And now we have no front teeth!  But we did get the tooth this time.  He went running for the couch, tripped, and out went the loose tooth.  He gets up, "my tooth fell out, my tooth fell out!"  Nobody was allowed to move until I had my hands on that baby tooth.  Our first one to actually put under the pillow. (He has lost or swallowed all of the others he has lost) 

I do apologize for the orange Gatorade mouth, it was the best I could do.

2 Weeks

In two weeks from today this sweet little baby is going to preschool...

Happy 7th Birthday Tyson Jacob

How in the world is this little boy 7?  I can't wrap my head around it.  I love him so much.  He is such a joy to be around.  He makes me laugh so many times every day.  He enjoys the little things in life more then anyone I have ever met.  He makes me slow down and appreciate everything.  He is never in a bad mood.  He wakes up every morning smiling with a big "Good Morning Mommy!"  He comes home from school every day and says, "How was your day Tyson?"  (He always tells me what to say before I even get a chance to say it) So I say, "How was your day Tyson?"  He responds, "Good."  It is always good.  Can you imagine saying every day of your life is good?  What a way to live.  He works so hard for everything and never complains.  He is getting so tall and is acting so I old.  I enjoy everything about him.  Some days I wish to go back to when he was a baby because I miss those days, but every day I realize what kind of a person he is growing up to be and want to enjoy every minute of it.  I love him!

He shares his birthday with his Grandpa Lundstrom, so every year we usually have visitors.  And this year didn't let him down.  Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Ryan, and cousin Braydon came to visit.  (oh, and the dogs Joey and Wrigley)  I have come to the conclusion that I am really bad at taking pictures.  I have 3 from the entire weekend.  We had a lot of fun, I just didn't get any pictures.  There were balloons, cupcakes, candles, 2 cakes, playing in the snow, lots of presents, and some Wildcat basketball!  Next weekend we are having his friends' party too.  He is spoiled.  Here he is on his birthday!

And last year...

Good Bye Baby Bed!

Charlie has been sleeping in the bottom bunk in Tyson's room for awhile now, but I just couldn't take down the crib.  It makes it too official I guess.  But today I did it.  It was hard and sad.  And Tyson didn't help one bit because he kept saying, "There goes Charlie's bed,  That's a bummer,  and That's so sad!"  I guess he knew how I was feeling.  So I celebrated by painting his room.  I love painting, it is like therapy to me.  I will post pictures of the end product when I get there.  My baby is growing up! :(

  Bye-bye baby bed! (btw- this bed was made with love by Grandma and Grandpa Lundstrom in 2004)

New Year's Eve and Missing Teeth

We had a hard time deciding what we were going to do for New Year's Eve this year.  Maybe get a sitter and go out or maybe just hang out with the kids and watch movies, we just couldn't decide.  So the host and hostess came out in us on the 30th and we decided to see what some friends were doing.  Ten adults and twelve kids later we had a party!  We had a Wii touney (well the boys did) and just hung out and had a ton of fun.  Here is a picture at midnight!

Then the kids had a dance off.  Hilarious!!

It was serious stuff!

It even had a little break dancing!

It was so much fun, I think we will have to do it again next year!  Thanks everyone for coming.

Now on to the missing tooth.  As I told you earlier Tyson's front tooth was loose.  Well, it was just barely hanging on so I kept checking on it.  This is his fourth tooth he has lost and so far we have seen zero after they came out.  I was determined to keep this one.  But yesterday afternoon out walks Tyson with a huge gap!  This is our conversation.  Me: "Tyson, where is your tooth?"  Tyson: "I lost it."  Seriously another one gone!  He must swallow them.  So we wrote yet another note to the Tooth Fairy and luckily she isn't holding it against him because she still brought him money!

I swear it looks like more than one tooth fell out, but it was only one.  I guess it is a good thing to have the space for the giant tooth getting ready to come in.
