scrapbook page

So I've been really bad a blogging lately... But here is a little scrapbook page of Devin and Tyson playing basketball in St. George a few weeks ago and another pic is of him in our little backyard. I promise I will be better at updating our lives!! Can I just say I love digital scrapbooking? This page took me 5 minutes! If I had done it in real time it would've been at least a half an hour and that's not including cleanup!!!

Early Mommy's day

I snuck (if that's a word...) into Devin and Tyson's bedtime ritual and decided to film it. I edited the clip down a lot, but it's just something that makes me smile and happy to be a mom. Here is the shortened version. Whenever Devin Stops singing, Tyson fills in the word to the song. He got a little camera shy and decided to whisper instead, but it's really cute. And yes, he falls asleep in his rocking chair now... It works... don't mess :)

Official Decision

It's official! Devin got accepted to BYU and after some serious pondering we've decided to go stick around Utah Valley and go to the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University. It really was hard to choose between something we are so comfortable with and the fun international adventure that South Carolina had to offer, but we just couldn't justify the cost vs the level of education Devin would recieve at BYU. I'm excited for selfish reasons so I can help when our little baby comes in July!

AAAHHHHH!!!

So Devin has officially been excepted to the International MBA program at the University of South Carolina. It's structured in a way that if we chose to go there we would live in Columbia, SC for about 6 months, then go international (possibly Germany or SOuth America) for 8 months, move back to SC, then international again for another 4 months. It's an incredible program, I'm just getting a little anxiety because Dev and I just found out the program starts June 30 which is right when our next baby is due!! We still don't know if we are going to South Carolina yet because we are waiting to hear from BYU and ASU. Regardless, all of this school, baby, and moving stuff is starting to become a huge reality to me. If anyone knows anyone who wants to buy a two bedroom townhome send them our way!!!

Announcement

SO we've hopped on the baby band wagon and will be having Spann baby number 2 on July 10, 2009. We heard the heartbeat last week which was really comforting, because I haven't felt very pregnant at all this time. I was kind of starting to get nervous that it was all in my head! Yeah, I was a little nauseous and tired, but overall a TOTALLY different experience from last time around.

Our Disney Thanksgiving!

We had the opportunity to watch my nieces clog at Disneyland over Thanksgiving weekend. For three days we were at the park from 8 AM until 11 PM. Luckily our hotel was close enough and my parents were kind enough to take Tyson back to the hotel with them a couple of times when he needed a break from all of the fun. But in reality he was great and loved everything (except for the whole waiting in line part.)

Tyson's quotable quotes:

After Fantasmic: "Do it again!? See Mickey Magics?" (as Devin's tearing up...)
While waiting patiently for the carousel: "Tyson's turn? Tysons TURN!!"
Name of horse on carousel: "I'm riding Paco." ( This is Devin's doing)

Favorite moments:
1. Tyson singing himself to sleep in his crib, "Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh." Which was his favorite ride.
2. Riding Matterhorn during the fire works show. That ride is super scary at night!!
3. Playing at Disneyland with my parents and my sister's family. I was super proud of my parents!! They totally went on the scary rides!
4. The fake snow blizzards by It's a small world. I'll admit it, I totally teared up...
5. Disneyland at Christmas!!!
6. The Blue Bayou! Yum!
7. Seeing Disneyland through a 2 year old.

The Blue Bayou of awesomeness. The only opening they had was at 9 at night!!

I somehow managed to catch the worst picture possible in front of It's a Small World.
Sorry Guys....

Hugging Mr. Toad. Tyson loved this ride.

Hitting the town with my nieces and the boys

My little boys on the carousel... I don't know if this is ride number 6 or 7

The submarine ride. I've never been on it before... The line wasn't worth it, but it was still really cool.

After Winnie the Pooh with cousins Mara and Jeffrey.
