I almost met David Beckam. 

That is to say, I wasn't even close to meeting David Beckam. 

However, we went to a Real Salt Lake game, and they played the LA Galaxy. 

Apparently David and LA are no more. 

SOOO ANYWHO, we got some tickets with 3 of Rem's co-workers and their wives from a business contact of theirs, and it was posh treatment from the get-go. (See what I did there with the word "posh"?)

We had box seats, which included dinner, and ice cream. Ice cream people!
 I mean, where else am I going to get ICE CREAM?!

You could tell we don't hob-nob much.
When the waiter came and asked what we'd like to drink, Rem asked
 if he could check the back for some apple juice...
There wasn't any.

The game was a ton of fun, I think I watched all of 2 minutes of it.
If I remember correctly, we actually lost.

But I still had a blast without the kiddos. So, WIN.

Daaaaaaaaa Bulls.

We went to Chicago a few weeks back. Rem had to "work" there, and I just like to tag along. 

We left Tyse-Meister at Kirk and Christy's, and brought Seth with us.

He was a champ on the plane.

Giordano's. Don't worry, we got a Chicago style too. 

Had to try out a dog. Tomatoes make it healthy.

How did this get ........

Sears Tower with my cousin Angie.
We had a pretty great day just bumming around the city.

CHICAGO HAD IT ALL.

...Wildlife...

...Jurassic Park...

AND!!!

Every bean counter's Mecca...

the bean of all beans...

that big thing from Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhall and I'm sure lots of other movies...

the, uh...really big bean.

Thanks Onset, for a lovely week!

Happy Birthday!!!

No Lauren, get off your high horse. Not everything is about you today.

(And I understand the expression is not applicable here, but seriously, GET OFF!)

Tyson had a birthday 2 months ago, and I think we've surpassed the blog post grace period for said event.

So we actually threw him an official "party" about 3 weeks before. I was 9 months pregnant and was not interested in throwing a big thing a week after giving birth. Plus I didn't want the baby stealing Tyson's thunder. It's like, hold your own head up already!

On his ACTUAL birthday, we happened to be up in Boise visiting Doug and Tonia's family, and they showed us a great time! Lucky for Tyson, they had a lot of fun places to show us like the aquarium...

 ...the ice Cream shop...

 ...and the park!!

I love this little boy more than I can say, and he just gets cuter and cuter everyday.
I just made a poem.

Spawn of Satan by night...

...cutest human being on the planet by mid-morning.

We had a rough night with Mr. Tyson last night. He pretty much screamed the ENTIRE night while we did our best to try and ignore/not smother him.

I knew he wouldn't make it long today, that the sleep deprivation would get to him. When I noticed it was just a little too quiet in the other room, I thought I should go check and see what he was destroying.

Here is what I found.

A bundle of blankets, stuffed with a little boy.

Sometimes I just want to beat him. Other times I just want to kiss him forever, ignoring the fact that it may be causing weird, mommy issues in the future.

Baby Blessing

I never remember to document the important things in life with my camera. It's always things like, Tyson sitting in a laundry basket in my room while I try to figure out how to work my camera (I've got lots of those!). And when I finally get it, I put it away and think, "PERFECT! Now i'll know how to do that for next time!"

The "next time" is usually the same as that time.

Anywho, we DID get a picture of our family (just one) on Seth's blessing day Sunday. And I know what you're thinking...that Tyson is one photogenic kid!

AGREED.

It was a great day, and we had a lot of family come and celebrate with us.

Except for Lauren, who obviously has never learned the importance of family.
