Tyson's Blessing

As you can see, Tyson is growing a lot and his big brother loves him so much! Life here has been wonderful, Taylor recently got hired on to doing only night shifts now, which will be fine, a little rough on his sleeping schedule but it will work out okay because he prefers the night shift over the day shift anyway. He says the atmosphere is better and he's not running all over the place. He'll work 6 nights in a row and then have 8 days off in a row, then 6 on, 8 off, etc...we're excited! It should be good. Taylor took the GRE test and was happy with his score, now he's filling out applications, getting references, and other preparations, so...keeping busy!
Tyson was blessed by Taylor last Sunday, and it went really well!

Seeing as it's close to Mother's Day, I thought I'd point out that Taylor's mother and my mother were both able to be there, we sure appreciate and love them both, they are wonderful!

This was my first attempt at crocheting something other than a blanket or scarf, I think it turned out okay, but wow, Tyson has been growing so fast, I was afraid he wouldn't fit in it by the time we blessed him. I think the pants were supposed to be "pant length", and they only went down to his knees! Oh well, it was still fun and he is still cute!!

Smiles!

Things are going well for us in the Corry household, Taylor just finished a Statistics class he's been taking online (a requirement for graduate school), and he did really well! Now he's busy studying for the GRE test that he'll be taking at the end of this month (another requirement for graduate school). So, obviously we are busy getting ready to apply for graduate school soon. We're hoping to be able to get in somewhere that starts in January. We have about six different schools we're applying for.

Another exciting thing that's happened in the last little while is that Tyson is now smiling!! Yeah!! Here's a cute picture of his sweet smile, I can't believe how big he is already!!

My two sweet boys!

There is no particular order to these random pictures, you'll have to bear with me because I've posted a lot of them!!
Here is our hansome Caden in his new Sunday suit, he'll wear it for Easter for sure!!

Yeah, smile it up kid

Tyson, so content in Daddy's arms

Caden has been wanting to do EVERYTHING by himself lately including putting his belt on,

He's especially good at matching his cloths!

Tyson is six weeks old now, I still can't believe how fast the time is going, it has been really fun, life is sweet and we are all adjusting very well now.

Caden took this picture of Tyson, I think he actually did a pretty good job!

Here's our BYU stud, I know football season is over, but our family really gets into March Madness, and we all (including Caden and Tyson) filled out brackets this year! Even though BYU went out quickly, we are still having fun competing against each other. Tyson and I are winning in our brackets so far!!

So, Tyson has RED hair. These pictures don't show it very well, but in our opinions it is quite red, especially in the sun. When Caden was born, his hair was slightly red as well, but it quickly lightened up to blonde. So far, Tyson's hair hasn't made any attempt to change, I think it would be fun if it stayed that color, I guess we'll have to see!

So Fast!

Time has gone by so fast since Tyson was born. I can't believe how fast they grow when they are so little. He has already gained over a pound.

Life has been wonderful, (and tiring at times) but we have definitely been counting our blessings.

Our very talented neighbor, Tynelle, has taken these pictures of Tyson when he was one week old.

You would think she had a studio or something, but she just took them in about 10 minutes while I was at her house one time and they turned out so well!

Pictures of the "Tyger"

Here he is!

Caden absolutely loves him, always asking to hold him and wanting to kiss him as you can see. Tyson is such a sweet baby, we are so grateful for how smoothly everything went. We are home now and enjoying just being home and relaxing (well, I guess as much relaxing as a two-year-old will allow!). It has been really fun! We've had a lot of help offered by family and friends, thanks guys! My wonderful husband took work off for almost 2 weeks, it's so great to have him here!

Tyson Eugene!!

Hey guys, sorry for the quick post, and the lack of pictures, but I just wanted to write a quick note and let you all know that Tyson Eugene was born on Feb 4th. and everything went really well, much to our relief. Liz is still in the hospital and should be home sometime tomorrow, hopefully. She is still in some pain, but otherwise doing very well. Having a new little baby isn't hurting things at all :-) Tyson is doing very well, and hasn't given half the excitement that Caden gave us 2 years ago (thank goodness). It has really gone well and we feel very blessed. We will post some pictures once we get home, but in the meantime for those of you who have been checking up on us waiting for news, just know that all went well!!!

The sun'll come out, tomorrow!!

We are having a baby tomorrow morning!! We are having another C-section. Apparently there is a chance of the same complications I had with Caden to happen in other pregnancies of mine if I were to go into labor. For those of you who don't know, with Caden, I was six hours into labor when my placenta abrupted and we had an emergency C-section and Caden lost almost all his blood, he needed six blood transfusions, CPR and had to be life-flighted to St. George to the NICU and was there for a whole week (Taylor went with him). I wasn't able to hold Caden until a few days later since I was still recovering in Cedar City. It is a complete miracle that Caden is not only alive but made a complete and full recovery, we've been very blessed. So! We're just going to avoid it all this time, and I am very excited about that! They're going to give me an epidural, which means that I'll be able to be awake this time during the procedure!

I'll try to post pictures and updates as soon as I can! I've been asked to measure my waist line before and after, so, whether you care or not, here it is: today my waist measures 42 1/2 inches. I'll let you know what tomorrow's measurements are when I update on everything else!
