I keep meaning to write this in your journal, but then forget..so it's going here for now!
On our way home from our Seattle Christmas 2009 we had no idea it was going to be snowing in Portland. When we were about 30 miles from home it started snowing and gathering along the side of the road. By the time we reached the I-205 bridge (about 20 miles from home) traffic was BACKED UP! It took us 4 hrs to drive the last 20 miles. During that time I was sitting in the backseat of the car, between your two carseats. At most we were going 5 miles/hr at any given time.
Kaiya: It was time for you to eat...so I just took you out of your seat and fed you. Unfortunately you had a big poop in your diaper and we had hoped to make it home to change it. A few hours later I finally just did it...in my lap. Fortunately everything stayed clean. It sure was stinky though!
Tyson: Remember when we were looking at the snow covered trees along the side of the road? I said that the tree branches looked pretty with all of the snow. You said "Those not trees. Those bushes. I tried to correct you and said, "Those are trees, just without leaves." You said again "Those not trees, those bushes."
"No they're not. They're trees."
"Those bushes."
"Ok..I guess they're bushes then..."
"Those not bushes....Those TREES!!!!"
Oh man...we had such a good laugh!!!! You have such a good sense of humor!!! We still laugh remembering back to that. How did you know that would be funny?
Later on we stopped at Home Depot to go to the bathroom and play in the snow..it was a fun time! You two did a great job handling being in the car for 7 hrs!!

Great story mama. I like Tyson's way of thinking. He is such a great kid. Good job in changing Kaiya's diaper without getting it all over yourself. Memories are such a great thing to share with your family. Good things to talk about during get-togethers and such.
