First Days of Spring!

Well, this week has been so beautiful. We have definitely taken advantage of the warm weather. Last Tuesday we went to the park and played. On Thursday we went to the zoo with grandma T.T., Jamie, Taylor, Lindsay, and Allie. It was a nice day and the animals were all very active. We even got to see the black bears wrestle! Tate and Bryson rode on the carousel and the train. It was especially fun to see Bryson so excited. Last year he was too young to really get excited, but this year I loved seeing his face just light up as he rode! On Friday we went to Wheeler Farm with Karen, Easton, and Kallie Reid. The boys had a great time just running around. We fed the ducks and went on a wagon ride. Then on Saturday we took the kids to the park to fly a kite. It was so much fun! They each got their own kite that they flew! Can you guess what kind of kite that Tate picked? They loved it!

As you probably could have guessed.....This is Tate's kite!

The "Yummy Spree"

So yesterday while Tate was at preschool, I ran a few errands with Bryson. When we got in the car, Bryson had found a Spree candy on the floor (yummy!). To tell you the truth I am not sure where it came from because I didn't buy any sprees. So Bryson put it in his mouth and I buckled him in the carseat and we were off. While we were in the car, Bryson was trying to tell me that the Spree was gone. I asked him if he ate it all gone, but he kept saying something about his nose. I then asked him if he had a runny nose and if he needed a tissue, but I didn't have a tissue with me. I tried looking up his nose because I thought maybe he was trying to tell me that he had a bloody nose. I didn't see anything in his nose. To make a long story, short-Bryson had put the spree in his nose!!! Oh my gosh! Luckily he blew it out! It had to have been up there pretty far because I had looked up into it and didn't see anything! That couldn't have felt good considering Sprees are sour! Bryson is still experimenting apparently. I think he will be a child that will always experiment like when he experimented with the shower drain and got his tiny little finger stuck and had to get stitches! He definitely keeps me on my toes!

Spring Fever

Well, I have not written in quite awhile. I guess I should summarize what has been going on with us. Bryson has been learning to talk this past month. He says the cutest things. He went from only knowing a couple of words to now saying full sentences. My little baby is growing up! Tate and Bryson have become even better friends and maybe it is because they can finally communicate with one another. They LOVE to wrestle before bed with dad. They get on their superhero costumes and then go tackle Tyler. They love it!

This past weekend we've been hit really hard with Spring fever. The weather has been so nice that we've all been outside playing. Tate and Bryson go in and out of the house playing. They both love to play sports. They play baseball, soccer, Frisbee, and basketball. Bryson's favorite toy is a full size basketball that he dribbles all over the house. He made us take it to church today. We drew the line at leaving it in the car, though.

Yesterday we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade at the Gateway Mall. We've gone the last few years and the kids look forward to it. They are mostly concerned with getting free candy, but they also like to watch the floats and all the interesting people. Is it weird that we go to the parade every year and we're not Irish, Catholic, Democrat, nor do we drink beer? But, we like it. The kids have fun.

Tate's 4th Birthday

Tate turned four years old on January 5th.... finally. He had been talking about his birthday for months and the day at last arrived. He counted down the "wake ups" until he would finally wake up to his birthday. His birthday actually lasted three days, kind of like Mardi Gras. On Saturday he had a Spiderman birthday party with 8 friends - "no girls allowed." The boys ate Spiderman cupcakes, wore Spiderman masks, and played Spiderman games. Tate is obsessed with superheroes. On Sunday we went to Grandma Susan's house for another party. And then on Monday he had a party at school with his preschool and then another party that evening at our house with the Tate family. We are exhausted from his birthday and are happy we get a break from birthdays for a while. He loved his many gifts. Tate is loved by so many people. We love to see Tate happy and excited about his special day. We can't believe how fast he has grown. I wish he would stay little forever.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I have not posted in awhile, and I am so sad about it because a lot has happened since I posted last! I haven't had the chance now that Bryson isn't taking naps like he should. He just learned to crawl out of his crib and so now he won't settle down to take a nap since he can escape! HELP!!! What do I do! He just barely turned two and he still needs a nap and I still need my two hours of me-time if you know what I mean! Today I wore him out so he could nap and I could post!



Thanksgiving we went to our cabin in Gunnison. We spent the weekend with my family and it was just a fun and relaxing time to eat, play games, and watch a lot of movies. The Friday night after Thanksgiving we went to Manti's main street light parade. It was cute and the kids had a great time!







Then the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Lindsay had her baby. She named her Allie. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. She is darling!

Then on Saturday Dec. 6, I turned 30! I can't even believe it! That sounds so old! I had a fun day, though. Tyler made me a video of our life together. It was so neat! Then later on that evening we got a sitter so we could go to dinner and then see, "Four Christmases". Christmas is my favorite time of year and I am so excited it's here.

Utes are Undefeated!!!

Wow! What an amazing game last Saturday. Tyler and I took Tate and left the wingle worm Bryson at grandma's. Tate was confused to see everyone running onto the field after the game ended. I think that game will be a game that even Tate will not forget. GO UTES!!!

The Heaths go to the movies!

Last Saturday evening Tyler and I took the kids to see Madagascar part 2. Tate has been waiting patiently for it to come out and he kept saying all week long, "Mom, I can't wait to go to the movies." We love to get the large bottomless popcorn and large bottomless drink. I mistakenly got a Diet Coke for us all to share. I think Tyler and I got up at least 30 times during the movie to take one of the kids out. The diet coke went right through Tate that he ended having to go potty 3 times during the show. Bryson never sits still. I think I just keep hoping that he will, but who am I kidding? I am not sure he will ever sit still. He pretty much ran wild during the show. The movie seemed pretty cute, but how would any of us know- we were always in the bathroom.
