A day in our life - January 19, 2011

8 AM


Every morning I wake up to this beautiful face, having a family bed is the best! Tyler is 1 year and 13 days old today.


8:30 AM


I cook breakfast while Tyler dances to his cooking Elmo. We alternate between him dancing on his own while I cook, and me holding him and dancing together.

9 AM


Tyler and I eat breakfast together while Daddy (my husband Mark) gets ready for work. Eggs, bacon, and homemade apple banana bread from the night before, YUM!

9:30 AM


Time to take Daddy to work, and Tyler isn't very happy about being put in the car :(

10 AM


Once we get back home it is time to do the dishes from the night before and take out the trash. Tyler LOVES turning the water on and off!

10:30 AM


Time for a nice bath together and to have cuddles and some milk.

11 AM


Time to start on dinner since it has to cook for 6-7 hours in the slow cooker. Tonight we will be trying out a new recipe... chicken curry on rice! Tyler loves to sit on the counter and help, and eat some of the vegetables we cut. We got this slow cooker over a year ago for Christmas, and this was the first time using it. I will definitely be using it a lot more after how well this recipe turned out and how easy it was to make!!

11:30 AM


We take a break from cooking and cleaning and play together in his play room.

12 PM


We take a break to snack on some garbanzo beans, and I enjoy a nice glass of ice water...until Tyler starts putting garbanzo beans in my cup. I get him his own glass of water to put the beans in.

12:30 PM


After some cuddles and milk Tyler falls asleep for a nap, and I check Facebook for a bit.

1 PM


Still sleeping so I fold some laundry.

1:30 PM


Tyler starts to get restless and it is a bit early for him to wake from his nap. After some milk and cuddles he settles back down.

2 PM


Tyler is still napping so I decide to walk right down the street and check the mail. On the way back I snap a picture of our new house we just bought about 7 weeks ago. Then I check on the guinea pigs in the back yard.

2:30 PM



STILL napping so I have some baby cuddles and take a few pictures. Mama's milk sure work wonders for long naps!

3 PM


Finally awake so we have some more milk and cuddles. I play silly tickle games to make him smile.

3:30 PM


I push him around the house in the SmarTrike his Grandma (my mom) got him for Christmas.

4 PM



We play on the backyard porch with a bowl of water and his cooking dishes. We also drop rocks of different sizes in to see what kind of splash they make.

4:30 PM


We change Tyler's clothes and get ready to go pick Daddy up from work. Tyler loves brushing his hair.

5 PM


Time to go get Daddy! Tyler is all smiles this time around :D

5:30 PM


Once all three of us get back home we play in Tyler's room some more while dinner finishes cooking.

6 PM


After 6 1/2 hours of delicious smells it is finally time to eat dinner! Mark isn't feeling well so he lays down for a bit while Tyler and I eat together. This chicken curry on rice was AMAZING and we will definitely be making it again!

6:30 PM


Mark is feeling a little better, so we decided to all take a nice relaxing bath in our jacuzzi tub together.

7 PM


Tyler hangs out with Daddy while I make some bread in our new bread machine. It unfortunately didn't turn out this time around. We are still learning how to use it, and shall keep experimenting with it!

7:30 PM


Tyler helps me make some homemade ice cream for dessert. He had a blast stirring the mixture!

8 PM


Mmmmm homemade chocolate peanut butter ice cream. It turned out wonderfully!

8:30 - 9:30 PM


Mark and I watch a couple episodes of "Primeval" on our projector (this picture was taken of the projection off our living room wall). Tyler alternates between having cuddles and milk, and running around playing. He also plays peek a boo under the blanket we are using.

9:30 PM


Tyler falls asleep nursing during one of the episodes and I put him to bed. Mark and I watch more episodes and spend time together until we join Tyler at 11 PM.
