Christmas 2008

So Santa thought it would be a good idea for Tyson to get some turtles. They are so cute, unfortunately I don't think Santa thought this through to well!! They are one (2) messy water Turtles!!!



and then there were the drums. Where the heck was Santa's brain this year????


Hope everyone has a great New Year! As for The Bell's, well it's gonna be noisy and smelly!!!!
Love you all!

Trip to Grandma's

Tyson had so much fun with his cousin's that he only gets to see a couple times a year, he and my sweet little niece Abbi are like two peas in a pod!!
Tyson like's to pose, I think Abbi's upset that he's stealing her thunder :)
Ok there now they are bud's again! Benny's not so sure! Oh my sweet Benny! I think he likes me best! He has to be the cutest boy(next to my own of course) ever born. :)
Playn' in the backyard of sissy's house. We had such a good time, I miss them so much! I wish we could live closer :( I love you guys!!!!

Just sayin' HI!!!

Me and Tyson had a great time visiting "the fam" in Utah. I wish so much we could be closer and see each other more often. I also got to see my Bro , Sis-N-Law, and my cute little nieces Calli and Carise. They are so cute! Wish I could get to know them better! Anyways, they have been bugging me to post more stuff on my blog so HERE YA GO!
:)
It has been a couple of weeks now that we have been home and Tyson is still having sad moments of missing his Grandma Shelly and Grandpa Steve, Stephi, Nate, Benny, Abbi, Calli, Carise, Rick and Shelley. He really loves you guys!! AND SO DO I!!!

Fishing

Tyson's first fish.
Yes, Ryan made him put on gloves :)
They were really slippery!
Ryan finally took off the gloves. :)

Ok, so it's kind of embarrassing to admit but this is Tyson's very first fishing trip ever. He caught 16 fish. It's embarrassing because of the fact that we live in beautiful Southern Oregon and have never left the city really. Considering my upraising I should be ashamed of myself! I remember growing up we were always camping it seems. I used to love packing our little first aide kits, snacks, and little hiking chairs and hiking up to the top of the waterfall in Placer ville, Ca. Showering in our little raft with a solar powered shower head. Catching crawdads. Oh when I look back those were great times. But imagining my self actually doing that now, well it just seems like to much work. I am horrible aren't I. But seeing how much fun Tyson had on his fishing trip really makes me think that we are making him miss out on some really good memories. To think that his "camping memories" so far consist of pitching the tent in the middle of the living room with dad watching TV. oohhhh how fun!!
OK!! So we are making a solemn oath to make this summer full of memories for Tyson. He is at the age were he will actually start remembering the fun times we could have had a(Even if it means going without my hair dryer for at least one night.) Ok, I'll try to make it at least 2 nights!
I'll keep ya posted!

Thanks Sis

Ok , so my sis fixed this all up for me and I thank her for that! now my problem is I don't know what to do with it.. I'm not good at this kinda stuff..... OK here it goes, I'll just use my Bro and Sis for my example.

So our 8 year old Tyson got "Star Student" of his class for this week. He was soooo proud of himself. I have never seen him try and behave so hard!! It's awesome. I am really proud of him. He has been quite the little "hellion" to say the least, and it's looking like all of our screaming has paid off! (just kidding) (kinda)hehehe....... No really to every parent whoe thinks they have no light at the end of the tunnel....there will be. Ok, so I might be saying that a little prematurely, because he is only 8 and we haven't even hit the "teen years" yet, but a mother's gotta dream!!!!

Cutie

Oh my gosh, they grow up so fast!  Ty is now stealing my hairspray!

Rock Climbing

He is a professional rock climber after just one visit to the local rock climbing gym!

The Boy

Halloween 2007, He just had to have this costume!  He actually thinks he was named after Mike Tyson!  Not even close!!
