Yes! John loves Tyson, he tells him (and me) all the time! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This morning I was playing some country music in the kitchen and John grabbed Tyson's little hands and said "Dance Tyson!" He also becomes very concerned when Tyson cries. He always makes sure I know. (Yes, John I hear him…) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course there are the jealous moments when John decides to throw a ball at Tyson or puts a blanket over his face or squishes him, but more and more there interaction involve kisses and tickling and cute explanations of what is going on ("Tyson, daddy at work" "Tyson time for bath" and about 10 times a day "Tyson diaper change!").</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The real question should be "Tyson, do you like your older brother?" Haha</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Adjusting to two kids is hard, but adjusting to one was harder. Its hard work but very rewarding. I wish I had time to write more cute stories but John is trying to break down his door instead of taking a nap- gotta run!</div>

Lots of stories...I feel that I should preface these stories with: John is 20 months old<br />
<br />
If you know my son- you know that he REALLY likes basketball! He has since he was 8 months old and we would go cheer on Brett as he played with some friends once a week. Well, I received a box of hand-me-down clothes to go through and there was a shirt that said Mr. Big Shot and has a big picture of a basketball going through a hoop on the front. John just about lost it when I went to put it in the "too small" pile. He insisted on holding it and carrying it around- all day. When Brett got home from work he put it on John- it was ridiculously small on him but neither of us had the heart to take it off him, he was spinning and jumping around the room saying "basketball shirt" "Basketball!"<br />
<br />
He pulled it out of his laundry basket this morning and managed to get it over his head and one arm through all by himself, so he is wearing the too small basketball shirt again today. Over the shirt I already put on him this morning. I know that at some point it is going to need to "disappear," but he just feels like a million bucks in his basketball shirt!"<br />
<br />
John is developing a sense of humor similar to his Dads. What do you expect from a boy born on april fools day?!? I was sitting across from John at dinner a few nights ago, he ran out of milk and very politely asked for more, so I reached across the table to get his cup from him, but my pregnant belly got in the way. So I stood up and reached for it and John (with a giant smirk on his face) deliberately held it just out of my reach and kept moving it further away as I got closer so it was always just beyond my reach. I gave up and sat down, John and Brett had a really good laugh at that!<br />
<br />
John is starting to realize that a baby is coming! He understands the difference between his room and "the baby's room". I ask him, "where is your baby brother?" and he puts his hands on my stomach or points.<br />
<br />
The other day John put both hands on my stomach, look me in the eye, and said "basketball, mommy". Oh boy… (10 more weeks…)<br />
<br />
Bretts car is out of service, possibly forever, and is in our garage right now with the hood up so Brett can get it put back together and take it to a shop or somewhere… that's a whole different issue, but every time John sees it he says "I broke it!" Haha- not sure where he picked that up!<br />
<br />
One more story-- In November I took John to the voting booths with me. I had him in his stroller, for obvious reasons, and when I was half way through filling out my ballot he turned around in his stroller and yelled "Mommy, I'm stuck!" I said, "I know, thats why I put you in the stroller!" and the old man in the voting booth next to laughed really really hard. Sorry to disrupt the peaceful voting atmosphere! He was sure a hit with all the volunteers.<br />
<br />
And some pictures…<br />

<br />
Today John picked up an old cell phone, he usually pretends he is talking to Brett but today:<br />
<br />
Me: Who are you talking to?<br />
John: Santa!<br />
Me: Oh yeah? (big smile!) What did he say?<br />
John: Ho! Ho! Ho!<br />
<br />
We took John to see santa at the museum of Idaho. They have lots of displays including nativities from around the world, antique santa clauses, and gingerbread houses. They also had a display of the Grinch going down a chimney and John pointed excitedly at him and said "Froggy!" (He also called me a Froggy on sunday because I was wearing a green shirt)<br />
<br />
When it came time for John to sit on Santa's lap he was ok sitting there, but he would not look at Santa, no matter what he tried! Poor guy, but he did give him knuckles before taking a candy cane, so thats something.<br />

<br />
1. Brett doesn't take very many pictures<br />
<br />
2. Brett hasn't uploaded any pictures since he got his iPhone<br />
<br />
3. Brett has been hiding some great pictures!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the gems I found:<br />

Except for my absolute favorites that I write in his baby book. (Like when Brett showed John his belly button and John said in a voice filled with horror "What's that!?!" I guess John had never seen a hairy tummy before…)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today in church I am pretty sure John didn't hold still for more than a second. There was a little boy sitting 2 rows behind us and anything that little boy said John had to repeat… only much louder! I am pretty sure he was competing with the speaker. That just happened to be the bishop today. Oh well! We got a lot of sympathetic glances :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Later in Relief Society I glanced back to see the new sister that was introducing herself and when I looked back John was gone. He had run all the way across the room, grabbed my visiting teachers hand, an older lady, and was trying to drag her to the door with him. ("Come on, lets get out of here while she's not looking!") Little stinker!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am sure you have heard the phrase "in a new york minute" well, with a toddler it is a new york second! John has made some pretty big messes lately and it happens faster than I can even catch! I will get some pics off my phone to share the preciousness! (Maybe he would make less messes if I did more than just laugh and take a picture…)</div>

Johns favorite book right now is "The Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear" We average reading it about 6 times a day, which I do not mind at all! One of the lines in the book is "Oh, I see!" and so John says this at random times, as well as "Boom, Boom, Boom!" Its really cute because he says them the same way I do when I am reading the book. </div>

He does and says a lot of other cute things but my allotted blog time is coming to an end and I want to make sure I get lots of pictures into the post!</div>

(Some may not agree with the "little" part but he seems small to me!)<br />
<br />
He can tell you where his eyes, nose, mouth, hair, and ears are. As well as his "bewy butt" (Belly button) Ears are his favorite right now. He will randomly grab our ears when we are lying on the couch and loudly say "ear"!<br />
<br />
Every morning me and John have this conversation.<br />
<br />
John: Fake dramatic sneeze<br />
Me: Bless you<br />
John: tank too<br />
Me: Your welcome<br />
<br />
Then I am expected to fake sneeze so he can say 'Bwess oo' and 'elcome'.<br />
<br />
This morning right after breakfast I was chatting with Brett and John brought me his shoes, I put them on him and then he brought me my flip flops. I put them on and then continued chatting with Brett. John then brought me another pair of my shoes… hmmm, I guess he really wanted to go outside! Which we did.<br />

It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with an unfinished basement on a half acre plot. It has a "country feel" for Brett while still being "city" enough for me! We really couldn't have found a better match!<br />

We felt so blessed to have so many friends and family come to help us move. I can't imagine how it could have gone any smoother! (It also helped that John slept through both moving out of the apartment and into the home)<br />
<br />
We love our home, neighborhood, and ward. Everyone has been very kind!<br />
<br />
John is learning so much! He loves having more room inside an out, and is always pointing to the back door saying "out". He has lots of new words- "one, two, THREE" being one of his current favorites as well as "please" "thank you" "dog" "cracker" "fishie" "baby" etc. He also likes to point at things and say "that?". He is also filling in a lot more words into his favorite songs like, old macdonald, the itsy bitsy spider, and do as I'm doing. His favorite book is one that counts ladybugs backwards, and his favorite toy lately is a green frog stuffed animal.<br />

Congratulation to my cousin David and his family! He left a few days ago to serve a mission in Italy! He will be a great missionary and greatly missed by his family! He can expect letters from the Binghams!<br />

<br />
Friday- Bear World! We are lucky to live about 30 minutes from bear world! Brett and I went about 2 years ago, but it was a lot more fun with John! John has always loved animals. He sat in my lap as we drove around looking at all the animals! He growled at all the bears and moo'd at the buffalos :) At the end of the bear "tour" (you drive around yourselves) they have a petting zoo with the friendliest animals I have ever met! There were deer, goats, ducks, geese, chickens, and peacocks. John got a lot of attention from a deer that came right up and licked him all over! He laughed and laughed, he didn't even mind when it started nibbling on his clothes! He also walked right up to a goat and started poking it, don't worry he was closely supervised, and the goat just looked at him and then ignored him. We will definitely be going there again! And to think I have still not taken him to the zoo…<br />

That evening we were invited to dinner by one of Brett's friends from high school, now we are all friends. And her husbands name is doug-- the only doug I have met other than my little brother (just a random fact-mostly throwing that in for my mom). They introduced us to malaleuca. We are trying to a lot of their products and so far have liked them!<br />
<br />
Saturday I ran my first 5k! And it will certainly not be my last! I really enjoy it. It was one of those races where they throw color on you as you run-- don't think I will do that kind again, but it was nice for the experience, especially since I used to work for a company that organized those kinds of 5ks. Brett and John came to cheer me on- I love those two!<br />

On sunday we were Reunited with our sunbeam class- it was stake conference last week. We also got to experience 3 hours of church with a walking baby for the first time- what a game changer!<br />
<br />
We celebrated memorial day with my little brother that attends BYUI. He came down for hamburgers and a great game of monopoly. Which I would just like to say I won. My winning ratio in monopoly is about 12 loses to every win- no joke. Not because I am bad with money- just because I go to jail a lot, and always land on the really expensive properties, and get bad chance cards.Brett and Sheree :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16994753659137014181noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025942867139734621.post-59203212447201085882014-05-15T13:06:00.001-07:002014-05-15T13:06:20.682-07:00Recent good times...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of Johns favorite things to do is take all the dish towels and throw them in the trash can. It is too irresistible and he can do it in like 5 seconds! He loves getting into drawers, this last week his new favorite is taking the pans out from the drawer under the oven, throwing them on the ground, and laughing hysterically at the horrible loud crashing noise they make. </div>

I said, "Smile at the camera!" John got it- Brett did not. He is still handsome! John is starting to say a lot more words and is getting good at copying what we say. His favorite word (other than banana) is "Hi". He says it to EVERYONE: Grocery store people, other little kids, bankers, homeless guys… doesn't matter to him :) His other new words are keys, cheese, milk, and shoes. He also makes puppy, dinosaur, cow, and monkey noises.</div>

John loves animals! So visits to the farm are extra exciting for him. The other day we went into a home and they had a deer head mounted on the wall. John pointed and laughed. Brett took him over close to it and he hesitantly stuck his hand out to pet it! The poor kid thought it was a live animal… I'm not telling him!</div>

I took John with me to a party last night and I was surprised when he stood up and walked half way across the room all by himself. Before that he has only ever walked between people! As the night went on and he became more tired we had to take off because he started hitting, and throwing a tennis ball at (NOT to) a little boy on the floor. (Can't believe I let him do it twice! Bad mom moment…) It was fun socializing regardless!</div>

We are very excited. He starts May 5th but is already beginning to take over the responsibilities of the position-- the plus side of being an intern!<br />
<br />
We have been very blessed and are happy to be sticking around Idaho Falls!<br />

<br />
This week was busy and a lot of fun! My youngest brother Doug came to stay with us for a few days! It was really hard getting him here because of flights and missed buses, but he finally made it! It was nice hanging out with him. John loved having another person around to play ball with and make him laugh!<br />
<br />
Doug, John, and I went and toured BYUI while Brett was at work on Thursday. Our tour guide did an awesome job. It was like memory lane-- I can't believe it has been over 2 years since I graduated and one year since Brett has graduated. Time sure goes by fast. I think Doug was impressed by the atmosphere and everything. It will be nice to have him close for a semester before he leaves on a mission!<br />

This weekend my family came and brought Craig, my other little but not youngest brother, back to school. He is in his junior year I believe and loves Rexburg! This is definitely the best semester to be there… We went bowling and ate at the famous Pizza Pie CAfe (formerly Craigos).<br />

My family stayed until monday morning and took Doug home with them. It was nice having family visit us for easter! We decorated easter eggs Saturday night and had a nice dinner on Sunday. Everyone liked it but John-- he wanted nothing to do with my roast or scalloped potatoes, oh well!<br />
<br />
<br />
John is learning and growing so fast! He has become quiet the little rebel. He will do something he knows he is not supposed to and then look and me, shake his head, and say 'no, no, no!' and then go back to doing what he was doing. (This usually happens when he is hitting the TV or getting into the trash can).<br />
<br />
He has also become very good at climbing-- he doesn't walk yet but that doesn't stop him from getting on couches and chairs! He just pushes over his toy fire engine, and uses it as a step to get onto whatever he wants!<br />
<br />
John is very good at telling me when he wants to take a nap or go to bed, He will crawl over to me, look up with a sad face and say "nigh nigh". If it is bed time he says "nigh nigh dada" which is part of the bedtime routine.<br />

We celebrated by going to Olive garden on our anniversary (John loved it too!) Then on Saturday we got a babysitter and went to the movies.<br />
<br />
3 Things I have loved about being married to Brett<br />
1. He loves me<br />
2. He protects me<br />
3. He leads our family with the strength of the priesthood. (If that did not make sense you can read more here - https://www.lds.org/topics/priesthood?lang=eng)<br />
<br />
I believe that every year is worth celebrating!<br />

Yesterday as we were walking through the parking lot to a store an old lady yelled at me for not having socks on my child.<br />
<br />
2. Today I got to experience my first in store tantrum. John saw a banana and screamed (like a gut wrenching, inconsolable, world is ending scream) until he got one- which was about an hour later when we were finally home.<br />
<br />
Response to story #1-- John had a rash on his feet from crawling. They were slightly swollen and hot- I was not going to put socks on him! Not that it was that ladies business anyway…<br />
<br />
Story #2-- I feel strong. I handled it and wasn't really even embarrassed. Bring on the toddler years!<br />
<br />
Here is the cute kid!<br />

We had a small party on Saturday for him- thank you for those that came and celebrated! We had so many leftovers! (Thanks to those that took cupcakes off our hands.) We have enough homemade tortillas and taco meat in the freezer for at least 5 more meals! (and that's after having it for three days after the party!)<br />

The oldest teenager was sitting with his elbows on his knees, leaning forward, his eyes kinda glazed over. John must have thought he looked sad because he tried to stick his binky in the boys mouth. If he was sad- he wan't anymore! I think more than half the congregation turned to see why this family had burst out laughing! We'll try to be more reverent next week…<br />
<br />
Brett had another basketball game on thursday, they had to forfeit because they didn't have enough players but they played anyway. Brett got fouled pretty bad and ended up on his back but with a really bad bruise on his knee… not sure how it all happened but it looked pretty painful! John also got hit by an unsuccessfully rebounded basketball. Right on his forehead. He didn't cry- I think he was in shock! There were two other close hits too- I think they might have been aiming for him.<br />
<br />
Today in Sunbeams we had 3 girls and they kept saying the cutest things! "My favorite animals are sparkly animals" "Why does Noah have to have a boy AND a girl animal on the boat?" "Where is John and the baby?" (Sometimes they get confused and get John and Brett mixed up) "Sister Binglam, I like your eyeshadow!" "I have to brush my horses hair every night otherwise it gets tangled!" Me: "Who put the animals in the forest?" Little girl: "I DID!"<br />

We have nowhere to put it for now-- I'd love to see our apartment managers face if we started a fire on the patio! Brett looked strange carrying it up to our third floor apartment, but someday this will be fun to have in our backyard!</div>

He pushes his toy firetruck over to the couch climbs on it and then onto the couch. When he gets a little taller the fire truck will no longer be necessary. He also like to knock DVDs off the TV stand, pile them up, and stand on them. Why? So he can get his little handprints higher on the TV as far as I can tell!<br />

(Brett said I should include this story) John is very quick to get around and loves going into any room that isn't the living room. We have been really good at closing doors but I slipped up and John went into his room while I was making dinner. When I realized he was missing I rushed into his room where he was completely covered in baby powder. When I tried to take it away from him he squeezed the bottle and got a mouthful of it! He gagged and spluttered, it was so funny. I wish I had taken a picture! Brett was worried about calling poison control or something but he was just fine! :)<br />
<br />
This weekend our 8 year old neice Morgan had a dance competition here in town we went to cheer her on and she did amazing! Her routine incorporated an ariel flip! Amazing! I hear she won second place but I will need to give her a call and find out the details!<br />

We had family pictures/ John one year pics yesterday. It was barely warm enough so we did them outside. John was drawing a small crowd at one point! It was funny and he loved the attention. I can't wait to see how they turned out!<br />

So many bumps and bruises in the name of exploration and he is not even walking yet!<br />
<br />
John is doing a lot of cute things lately. My favorite is his "singing" and doing hand motions to "Do As I'm Doing" almost every time I put him in his carseat and start driving I hear "do do (babbling) doin" it is adorable! He is also starting to point at things too, a lot of mornings we will cuddle in the rocking chair and he will sit up straight and point to the Scentsy until I turn it on and then he giggles and goes back to cuddling!<br />
<br />
Anytime Brett or I sit down to eat he will crawl as fast as he can to us and pull up on our chair and talk to us (sometimes quite loudly) until we put him in his high chair and give him some of what we are eating.<br />
<br />
He is learning so many words! He surprises me sometimes. His newest words are "Ball", "all gone", and " nigh nigh".<br />
<br />
Brett is doing well in his job and school and also has been enjoying basketball with the ward! John loves watching, trying to crawl onto the court, clapping, pretending to bounce the ball, and saying "Go Da!". They have yet to win a game but who cares! It is fun to watch and he enjoys playing!<br />

It makes me laugh sometimes, he always wants what I am eating even if it is something like broccoli or a carrot. He crawls, rolls, and scoots all over the place and is starting to pull up on things. Naturally, he gets into everything. He loves music and will wave and smile anytime a song comes on! He claps to "if you're happy and you know it" and rolls his hands to "do as I'm doing"-- those are his favorites right now!<br />
<br />
Brett continues in his internship- he got to take a tour of "the site" on Thursday and really enjoyed that. I was convinced he was going to come back with some sort of superpower because of all things they do with radiation out there. No powers have manifested themselves yet- but I am still watching for any signs…<br />
<br />
Today they released all the primary teachers except for Brett and I, which we are taking as a good sign. We may teach sunbeams for the rest of our lives which is ok, they are adorable!<br />
<br />
Oh- I should also mention that John got his stitches out and everything is healing great. All the swelling is gone and it is hardly even red. It never seemed to bother him, what a blessing!<br />

I'm married to an introvert!The first time I had ever heard the words introvert and extrovert was when my husband and I were dating. He asked me which I was and I was only able to offer a blank stare. He then explained the best he could and then asked, "do you get energy from being around others or does it drain your energy?" My mind was blown- how could being around others be exhausting? I guess that makes me an extrovert!<br />
<br />
My handsome better half, however, definitely falls into the category of Introvert. There were warnings along the way- yes, my mother-in-law warned me at our wedding reception that Brett likes his alone time, he himself had mentioned it on occasion. I guess I didn't really know what that meant - and didn't take it too seriously because of a lack of understanding.<br />
<br />
I then spent the next year feeling like he was mad at me. (That may be exaggerating, but it was true for a lot of the time) I was constantly asking what was wrong, if everything was ok, and such questions. I think I was driving us both crazy.<br />
<br />
My approach to the situation was not working...<br />
<br />
So I did what any college grad has spent hours and hours learning to do and started to research… books from the library, internet searches, TED talks, more discussions with the handsome husband, I searched everywhere! And you know what-- it still doesn't make sense to me! The wiring in the brain is so opposite in nature to what comes natural to me, it will never make sense.<br />
<br />
The reason I thought he was mad at me was because his "introvert ways" were reflective of my behaviors when I am mad! I need my space, I like my "quiet time", and to be left alone- when I am mad.<br />
<br />
I have always loved and respected my husband, but that love and respect has deepened with the understanding gleaned from my research.<br />
<br />
<u>Conclusions drawn from research:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
1. My husband needs his own mountain.<br />
<br />
Ok- maybe not necessarily a mountain, but something between a mountain and a "man-cave." He needs a place where he can retreat and be alone with his own thoughts. He needs a break from others. Where did Prophets go to receive revelation? Mountains, "high place", deserts.<br />
<br />
2. Accept It<br />
<br />
I have had to accept that there is nothing wrong. He is just thinking or not. Silence is not a bad thing. If there is something wrong. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert- despite what the world will tell you. Its ok to want to stay home and read a book, or wake up a half hour early to be by yourself, or even brush your teeth without your wife talking to you.<br />
<br />
3. Observe<br />
<br />
Introvert should rule the world. They are deep thinkers, they are sensitive, kind, caring, intuitive, etc. (At least these are the characteristics of the introvert I am married too). I should just sit back and watch- give him the time to think and plan, and observe/watch all the amazing things that have and will happen.<br />

<br />
The Story:<br />
<br />
John was born with a "skin tag" on his neck. We were told he could have it removed when he was older, but just to be safe they sent us to a specialist who took one look at it and knew it was not just a skin tag. He thought it was a branchial cleft cyst but wouldn't know until the actual surgery.<br />

At 6:30 this morning we headed to Rexburg where the surgery was scheduled at Madison Memorial Hospital. I think I drove about 40 MPH all the way there because of icy roads.<br />

They checked us in at the hospital and got John into surgery at 7:20. About 45 minutes later the Dr came and said he was in recovery and that I could see him when he woke up. He told me that it was a branchial cleft cyst and that it went all the way back almost to his voice box and then looped around a muscle in his neck. He closed off the tract and stitched him up! He has 8 stitches- a little frankenstein baby!<br />

<br />
He also will say "banana" and "yesssssss!" He loves the "s" sound.<br />
<br />
It is sure fun being a mom! Hard work- but fun!<br />
<br />
Brett is in his first week of work and so far is really enjoying it. The security at the site is interesting, lots of little rules like- no visitors, no phones is specific building, and routine drug testing.<br />
<br />
On Brett's first day of work John kept saying "dada, dada, dada" all day long and looking around for him. It was also the day he learned the word banana, so he would say "dada, dada, dada, banana, dada?" It was really cute!<br />

John was born with a "skin tag" on his neck which upon further investigation by a specialist was found to be some sort of bronchial cyst. He is scheduled for surgery to have it removed in a few weeks. Poor guy!<br />
