I know...

Lately there have been quite a few things Ty has done to confirm (as if there was any question?!) that Ty is our child. He LOVES blue cheese. We even had the strongest blue cheese I have ever had last week and he kept asking for more. What kid likes blue cheese? He also loves parmesan, romano and all those hard strong types. Bucky and I are like little mice. We could eat cheese all day. Ty fits right in.

Last night Ty took a piece of cardboard packaging and walked right over to the recycling and dropped it in. That's my boy!

And last (for now), but certainly not least, I know Ty is ours because he looks so darn cute in the sweater I knit him!!! This is my first sweater, and it's called the Wonderful Wallaby. It has a pocket (hence the wallaby) and hoodie. I really think I'm going to put him in it once a week until he outgrows it, since I knit it. :)









Yesterday we went to the much anticipated Walking with Dinosaurs show in SLC. They have 15 "life size" animatronic dinosaurs. The T-Rex and Brachiosaurus were incredible! Ty has been very into his stuffed dinos lately, so of course all week we have been talking about dinos and he just runs for them every morning. "Dino, Dino!!" He didn't stop pointing, giggling, or yelling "dino" for the entire hour and fifteen minute show. It really was an impressive experience.


Waiting for the dinos
All of our pictures barely came out with the darkness. This is about as good as it gets in picture quality for us. The Stegosaurus is on the right. You can also see the host in the center, to get some perspective on the size.

Thanks Kathy! (woops, I mean GA) Sweater only took two months with lots of non-knitting time. It's a pretty simple pattern. I do in fact have another sweater on the needles with blue yarn and a pattern from Nana! Sure can't wait to be in the warmth next week!

Thank you for the substantial update! I am so impressed with the sweater, I clicked on the pictures and analyzed your handwork, and I must say, well done! It also looks super comfy, not something one can say about all sweaters! I've been trying to knit but I can't seem to make it past my 16 ft. scarf, I don't know how to end! P.S. That was a weak attempt at sarcasm, it's only a foot, but it feels like that's where I'll end up!!! xoxo
