To My Wife

Tanya,

I cherish every moment I have with you. You are, quite literally, my everything. You have this song on your blog and when I am at work and missing you I often open your blog and let the music remind me of how perfect you are for me.

Thank you for being my everything. - Tyler




p.s. to those that might be curious, I usually post on my own blog, but when it's specifically about my wife and kids the posts come here. Thank you for letting me share.

I brought a Mercedes Benz home for Tanya today

She was pretty excited about the luxury car I parked in front of the house as a surprise today.  Check it out.

Just in case there is any confusion, this post is being done by Tyler. 

Update on Tyler.

I WISH I had better news. Unfortunately, the pain has gotten worse. I tried talking him into going to the ER this afternoon but he didn't want to go so I gave up the fight. However, he changed his mind when he started feeling his airway getting blocked and within a half hour he was downstairs, dressed, and ready to go in. Thank goodness! Only they couldn't figure out what it is!!! I think he should be quarantined and put on a medical mystery show all the while pumping him full of drugs. They ran a ton of tests and took xrays, gave him pain meds and antibiotics through the IV and sent us home with our own little pharmacy. The results from the culture should be in Monday or Tuesday and hopefully that will provide us with much needed answers. I am so grateful for our friends and family that have helped out so much the last couple days. I would be much more out of mind without you.

Like Something Out Of A Swamp!

That is how the doctor described the inside of Tyler's mouth and throat...NASTY!!! Tyler has been sick for over a week now but it has gotten really bad this week. Mono and Strep tests have come back negative so they are not sure what he has. They think he might have picked up a bacteria while filming Wipeout (his episode will air July 29th, set your DVR's) or while swimming in a pool. Who knows! All they know is it is nasty and really bad. They gave him an antibiotic shot 2 days ago but it didn't do anything. He is now on antibiotics and pain meds and if it gets worse this weekend, we will be on our way to the ER. I have never seen him like this or anyone else for that matter so keep him in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully he will be better soon. Luckily when the rest of us had the stomach flu this last week, he didn't get it. I am grateful that bug has left our home. Now if we could just get rid of the swamp thing, we will be all set.

Shameless Self Promotion

I installed a stat counter on this blog a few days ago and found out that we have between 50-100 visitors a day. Being the capitalist that I am I figured it would be smart to monetize these visits and plug a couple of our businesses.

1. Wrightwood Cabins
We have some cabins up in Wrightwood, CA that we rent out for vacationers. This has been an amazing year of snow and Mountain High Ski Resort is less than 10 minutes away. Check out these great cabins and get away for a while.



2. Jorgenson Properties
Jorgenson Properties is a full service real estate company based in Chino, CA
We also offer real estate finance.

Tanya also does vinyl stickers that make great crafts and home decor. Leave a comment for her if you're looking for a sticker or two. She can email you samples.

I Am So Blessed

Yesterday at church the Relief Society lesson was on having a good marriage. The teacher showed us a picture of a dad coming home from work exhausted and busy to find the mom in the kitchen trying to make dinner while holding one kid, another kid had just spilled milk on the table, and the older child already demanding the dad's attention. Both parents were worn out. The question was then asked; What should they do next? What could they do to make the situation better and not worse? Immediately I empathized with the mom in the picture because my life is almost always like that around dinner time. That is the craziest part of the day for us. Luckily for me I have a husband who will come home to all that chaos and almost immediately start helping and entertaining the kids so I can finish dinner. I never know at that point how his day has gone, for all I know it could have been the worst day ever, but unselfishly he takes care of us. I am so blessed! Thanks Babe! You are the best!
