Fun Quick Visit

Today was another challenging sacrament meeting as Tyson has changed dramatically the last couple of weeks and doesn't know how to be reverent. Everything I brought for him was useless. The crayons and coloring book were not as great as Sister Jolley's set and the books were a similar situation...hers were way more fun to look at even though I'm just sure they had the same horse and pig and kittens etc. She was good to entertain them while trying to listen to the speakers. Tyson made one trip out to the hall where he had to show me how we are suppose to be reverent before he could go back in. I pretty much make the hall visits as miserable as possible since I don't get to be in the chapel listening to the speakers then I might as well make the stand with him. He begs me to go back in, which is nice. We'll keep working on his behavior. After sacrament meeting Tyson went with his old teacher to class and I caught up with him in nursery after remembering that he managed to get to church with underwear on and not a pull-up. I took him into the bathroom and had him try to go to which we had success and he managed to go all day and into most of the evening before he pooped a little in the underwear and then finished up going in the toilet. That's the latest on the potty training. I was set apart during second hour of church, for my new calling with the 14 and 15 yr olds. I'm told there are about 13 youth in there so we'll see how next Sunday goes. I'm sure going to miss my Mia Maids though. After getting set apart we took Tyson out of Nursery and came home to get everything set up at the table for my brother Will, Leslee, Brock, Keili, Roger and Barbara (Leslee's parents) to stop in for lunch/dinner while on their way home to Cali. Susie cooked up some yummy rib style pork tenderloins and brought a fruit salad and drink. I cooked up the yummy crockpot (rolled in butter and garlic and wrapped in tinfoil) potatoes, green salad, and choc chip cookies and the meal was a hit. We visited and let the kids get their energy out before getting back in the car for another leg of their trip home. We were sure glad they made the time to stop and eat/visit. Here's a few pictures I took of the kids. I do need to point out that Tyson has found his girl to cuddle this go around. He's for some odd reason fatuated with pretty girls and is entertaining to watch around them. Definitely a trait he was born with. We may have a challenge on our hands when he gets older. I'll keep these pictures around so I can point out how close he absolutely cannot get to girls when that age approaches :) Adam had a priesthood meeting at 6 pm and then when he returned we went outside and sat in our camp chairs on the driveway while Tyson and Lincoln played in our pad of dirt. Adam and I are tired as we missed a Sunday nap, went to bed late last night, and got up early this morning for Adam to go to his Elder's Quorum meeting.
