Beau and Ashely Wedding

May 23 Tyson brother got married to a great girl. Beau and Ashley were married in Dodge City, Kansas in park at 5:00pm. Taydom and Vilate were asked to be part of the wedding.


We left Denver right after the kids got home from school and arrived in Dodge City about 11:00pm. The kids always travel so well. We watched movies, played games, colored and slept.

The first day in Dodge was a busy one. First thing, we went to the dress makers so Vilate could try on her dress. She felt so special and so grown up having a dress made just for her. Later that night we went to a rehearsal for the wedding and them dinner. Taydom was such a gentleman to Vilate as they practiced talking down the aile.



The morning on the wedding Brenda made her traditional cinnamon rolls. It's not the same without her cinnamon rolls. Vilate loves to help and Brenda loves the help.

About 2:00pm after everyone got ready Vilate was asked to go to the hotel to help Ashley. She really did not help much had a great time . Taydom looked so handsome with his tie, shirt tucked in and his new black shoes. He enjoyed hanging out this hid dad, papa, and Beau before the wedding.

The kids loved walking down the red carpet. The felt so important. They did a great job too.

Vilate made a great friend that weekend. Ruthy is the daughter of Ryan on of Tyson cousins, so that makes Vilate and Ruthy second cousins. They met at the rehearsal and played and the dinner that night and all day and night of the wedding.



Vilate danced and had a great time all night. She even caught the bride's bouquet.

Daisy Scouts Graduation

Vilate graduated from Daisey Scouts to Brownies. They had a picnic pot luck in the park to celebrate.

Vilate talked over the play ground bridge and down the slide to represent crossing over to Brownies.

At the bottom of the slide I pinned her with a new Brownie pin and gave her some of her new patches she had earned. He had a great time.

We had a time.

Titan and Karen came for a visit.

Our cousin Titan and Aunt Karen came form Arizona for a visit. We had a great time with them. Every day Titan wanted to go to school with the kids. We liked to walk to the bus stop and wave good bye to them.

Sunday night the Sloans came up for dinner to spend time with them too. Titan started a food fight that was quickly ended by the moms. He is defiantly in his 2s.

Taydom and Jaren enjoy many of the same things even thou there is 4 year in age separating them. Jaren shows Taydom the tricks and how things work. Taydom takes it in and loves having an older cousin.
Titan loves hats. He always wanted some type of hat on. He liked Vilate bike helmet. He would put it on and spin around and around, as if he know if he fell and fit his head he would not get hurt.
Taydom really likes Titan. Every night in his prayers he asks to help Titan safe. Karen has posted on her blog showing Taydom that Titan is being safe. I do not know why Taydom worries so much about Titan but it is very cute.

Breaking a Coconut

We got a whole coconut for the kids to crack open. They each got a turn to wack it with the hammer.


They had a great time, but unfortunately it was rotten inside and could not eat it. I love fresh coconut and was so bummed. Maybe we will try again. Anyone know how to choose a good coconut?

School Performances

Taydom and Vilate had a school performance night. The sang song about summer and each had learned dances too. It was such a fun night. They did great. I was so proud of both of them.

Duty to God Award

Taydom got is Duty to God award at last Pack meeting. "I like to get patches to put on his shirt." he told me. Many of the boys in his pack have many arrow heads and other patches. We told me he wants to have lots of patches too. This summer we will work on that.

Taking the Flag Down

After last Pack meeting Taydom was asked to help take down the flag.



He and Brother Reichdan folder the flag together. He followed the instruction very well and did a great job. We have great scout leaders, and Taydom is really beginning to like scouts.
He felt so proud of himself.
