2 months old!

early Sunday morning the hysells took off to head back to the valley.

to say that I missed having abby around would be a huge understatement.

she helped me out so much and it was just fun to have someone around to talk to during the day.

look how cute little mr was for church!

come Monday I was going absolutely completely crazy wondering about

how Eric's NCLEX went. 

I was searching the internet trying to see if he had passed or not.

and despite my husband telling me not to buy the unofficial results...

I couldn't help myself... and besides it was only $8.

I figured if it only gave me 24 hours of peace of mind it was worth it.

well turns out it only gave me 6 hours...

Eric found out later that evening that he had officially passed.

we couldn't have been more proud of him and this big accomplishment.

it seriously felt like a major load had been lifted from our shoulders!

Tuesday Ty had his two month appointment!
he is now 11 lbs 3.5 oz and 22.75 inches long.

he is still the happiest little baby around...

although he does have a touch of colic.

he gets unconsolable around 9 to midnight where he seriously just cries and cries.

other then that I have absolutely no complaints.

he brings pure joy and a lot of love into our house.

after Ty's 2 month appointment we went over to the dinosaur museum.

madyn had been BEGGING to go!

she was so excited to be there and absolutely loves all the bones and rocks.

Wednesday we were rained out of tball...

but that couldn't break this little girls spirits!

she was just super excited to play in the rain!

the rest of the week was busy cleaning and running errands.

come the weekend we were ready to get out of the house and do some fishing.

we had a blast up at rob roy.

we had happy kids.

the weather was beautiful.

we saw lots of wildlife.

everything was perfect!

seriously... my daughter!

what am I going to do with her!

with all the animals and creatures we saw out in the mountains today,

this little moose was by far my favorite :)

ty's baby blessing.

Sunday ty was blessed in the Lyman 2nd ward by his dad :)
it was a very nice blessing and ty did awesome and didn't make a peep.
after they told me they were scared he was going to cry because he was wide awake just
looking around and checking everything out.
after the blessing we went over to the district office and had a brunch for our
family and friends that came out to support us.
we had a waffle bar, fruit and dip, sausage and bacon, and scrambled eggs.
ty sure looked handsome if I do say so myself.

ay ay ay, what I am going to do with this girl and mooning people in public?!?

yes, I am being haunted by the naughty things I taught my nieces and nephews.

ok in all seriousness though... ty and my dad are identical!

after the brunch we got everything picked up and then visited with

both mine and Eric's family.

ty got passed around to all his cousins who love to snuggle him!

I tell you what this boy gets spoiled!

the biggest tender mercy of the day was that he had three, I repeat THREE

nasty nasty nasty blowouts... but all after he was changed and out of his blessing outfit.

one was so bad it just straight came out on Carilyn's lap.

I'm just glad it all happened after his blessing!

Monday we took off to head back to Laramie.

and the best part of all was that Abby got to come spend the week with us!

she was so cute. on our way out she told me 

thanks for letting her come with us... she just really needed out of the valley.

let me remind you... she isn't even 11 yet :)

that evening we had tball practice to take madyn too and believe it or not 

she was super excited to go!

Tuesday we got out and went to Cheyenne to do a little shopping.

I thought it might be fun to take abbs... turns out I just highly annoyed her of 

my target obsession.

I'm only kidding. we had lots of fun with our little girls day... and ty.

needless to say that boy was happy to get home and be with his dad!

the rest of the week we hit up the wading pool and the splash pad.

abbs went to young womens with me.

we painted our nails, abby entertained madyn while I did chores,

she loved on ty when I needed someone to hold him for me.

it was pure joy having abby with us!

she seriously was a major help and she made my week so much more less stressful!

Friday evening Eric took off to Casper because he was taking his NCLEX exam

the next morning and had to be there at 7:30 that morning.

I thought I would feel so much better and relieved after he took it...

but boy was I wrong... I swear I was a nervous wreck... probably more so then he was.

the big project I wanted to get done that weekend was get some pictures of ty 

in his blessing outfit since I really didn't get any individuals of him on his day.

abby helped me out so much... and then we decided we wanted to take some sibling pictures.

so when Eric got back from Casper we packed a picnic and headed up to the

mountains to take some more pictures.

and I have to say I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!

when we got down off the mountain about an hour later Jamie and James pulled 

into town to pick up abby.

we had a great night running around and doing some shopping and then

heading out to dinner and then ice-cream.

we spent the rest of the evening chatting up a storm till probably around midnight.

I can't say it enough... I LOVE having company :)
