Waiting...


Grandma and Grandpa Gwilliam were on their way to our house for a visit.  Lindsey and Tyson were so anxious for them to arrive, so we took out blankets and made a cozy bed to wait for their arrival!  Too cute...

Courage Reins




Tyse has been taking horseback riding for the last couple of years at courage reins.  He goes every other week in the spring and fall.  This is his special thing!  He puts on his helmet, grooms the horse, rides for 45 minutes and then gets to give the horse a treat!

Gordon VanTassel



We have found that there are a lot of great people who have stepped up to help with Tyson.  So many have gone the extra mile without being asked but have just shown up to help.  Those are the saints in our lives...those who don't ask what they can do...just step in and do something. Gordon is a man in our ward who has always watched out for Tyson.  He has invited him over to help at his farm, let him ride horses, and always been so enthusiastic with him.  This night, Gordon took Tyson over to his house to bottle feed a new calf and to help with the farm chores.  Tyse loves his time at the farm.

Happy Birthday Tyse!











Bob spoiled Tyson with another bounce house for his birthday.  This year we were able to keep it for 3 days.  As a result, Tyse had multiply parties: one with his friend Kye, two others with cousins,  and one with some neighborhood families.  He loved playing "heavy, heavy hangover..." when he got his presents.  We had to do it over and over with the same gift.  He loved it and would laugh, open his present, put it back in the bag and hand it back to the person who gave it to him for another round.
