Tyler Times

Here is Tyler being a goofy kid.
He loves to play with his Home Depot tool set and take pictures of himself. Can you figure out which one he took?
Also here are some before and after pictures of his new hair cut. Yes we finally cut his hair. I thought it was time since he was always trying to get it out of his eyes. :0)

Before and after pictures of his haircut.

Don't mind the shiner on this kid.....you should see the pavement. he he.

Summer Vacations
This year Darin, Tyler and I took several vacations. We were quite the travelers. From Iowa to Detroit, MI to Priest Lake.
In May we went to Grinnell Iowa. Along came Darin's Mom Charlotte. The four of us hopped on a plane and off we flew. Tyler slept most of the way so that was a blessing, but we weren't so lucky on the way back. All he wanted to do was walk around the cabin, which they don't like you to do anymore. While we were there Tyler met all of his cousins and see where his great grandma Foster lives. Here are some pictures of our trip.

Here are four generations, Great Grandma Foster, Grandma Charlotte, Darin and Tyler Cox.

Hi all~
This is the Cox Family.
Darin, Katie and Tyler and soon to be one more.
Here we are at the Lake house on Priest Lake in Coollin Idaho. It is just beautiful there. This is where hopefully Tyler will learn how to water ski, since Dad is a huge fan of it. Me on the other hand.....I am getting used to it, and having fun!




Take a stroll with us down memory lane~
Here is Darin and I at my baby shower. Boy do I look tired and ready to have that kid!! Tyler came two weeks after the baby shower, yikes. He was 6 weeks early.


After Tyler was born he had to stay in the NICU for two weeks. Here he is under the heat lamps getting a tan.....love his shades!



I think Tyler had an itch or something. :0)



Here we are 7 days after coming home from the hospital. I just can't believe how little he was. He is sooooo big now!



One of our first family pictures. We went to a picnic at the Carlton Plants yearly dinner.





One of my mom's favorite things to do when Tyler was a baby, was hold him. What mom or grandmother wouldn't. I feel very fortunate that my parents live close by and can see Tyler often.

In August my grandma Sechrest came over for a visit. Here are four generations. Tyler a few months, grandma Micki, me and my dad.

Tyler was a bumble bee for his first Halloween. We had loads of fun that year. Tho we didn't go trick or treating, we still ended up with a pumpkin full of treats when we arrived home....hmmm



Here is our first Thanksgiving together. It was a beautiful day outside and very filling.


For Tyler first Christmas I took him to Kiddie Kandids and had his picture taken in his baby Santa suit. It was a lot of fun!

Here is my sister Corrie playing with Tyler at Christmas. They had lots of fun playing with the bows off the presents.


Last year at the lake, the boat always put Tyler to sleep.
