The Tyler Cooking Show - Pumpkin Pie

It's another edition of The Tyler Cooking Show! And on today's episode, we are making pumpkin pie!


First, the dry ingredients!


Oops! It appears we missed the salt! Oh well!



Now time for the eggs! Tyler gets a lesson in whisking!


Tyler tries to use a can opener but it's quite stingy.


And now the filling goes into the crust and into the oven!



Now for the final product!

It was quite delicious and apparently, salt-free!
Good job Ty and Grandma!

Lizzie's Adventures in San Fran

Tyler's mom went to San Francisco for a few days and since Tyler couldn't make it on this trip, she took Lizzie, Ty's rubber lizard, instead.
We were inspired by this AT&T commercial...

So here is Lizzie's trip to San Francisco!


Lizzie stayed with Aunty Melissa who now lives in San Fran...


Resting on her bed with her teddy bear



Lizzie had fun exploring the culture of San Francisco!


Lizzie enjoyed a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf breakfast


Lizzie joined Aunty Melissa and Ty's mom at the Britney Spears concert in San Jose


Lizzie ran into a long-lost cousin at a DSW store! Oh my!


Lizzie took a bite out of a yummy meatloaf sandwich at 'WichCraft restaurant.


Lizzie checked out the heart sculptures throughout the city


Lizzie stopped in Union Square to rest between shopping


Lizzie was lucky enough to see Wicked!

Of course, Lizzie had to visit the Golden Gate Bridge!
What a beautiful, clear day!


Another stop was at Fisherman's Wharf, where Lizzie enjoyed hot clam chowder in a bread bowl


And Lizzie checked out the sea lions at Pier 39!


Lizzie got around the city by muni or bus. It was super easy to get from place to place.


Along the way, Lizzie saw the original "Craigslist" location.


And Lizzie took photos with Ty's mom's friends, Natalie and Patti, who live in the Bay Area.


Tyler's mom brought home for him a sour dough bread shaped as a turtle!


Which Ty ate up as he munched up the turtle's limbs!

Spring Break Part 2 with Mom

Tyler spent the second half of Spring Break hanging with mom, who put him to work washing her car.
Of course, Tyler made sure to take extra precautions!


Better to be safe than sorry, I say!


Ty and mom had a picnic lunch at the pool.


They went to Pearlridge and rode the monorail.


They also went to Kuhio beach...


where the light rain didn't stop Ty from playing in the sand.

Ty and mom went to the Honolulu Zoo.


They visited the reptile house and the keiki zoo...

Where Ty met new friends, billy goats.


Can you see Ty's hand sticking out?


Ty and mom enjoyed a refreshing rainbow shave ice!


And Ty played with Kailoa at the beach fronting the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

It was a good Spring Break 2009!

Spring Break with Aunty and Grandma

Tyler spent his first week of Spring Break with Grandma Judy and Aunty Melissa, who came home for her Spring Break.

On Monday March 23rd, it was Grandma's birthday. So Tyler and Aunty made a shopping list for Grandma's gift.



After they made their list and checked it twice,

it was time to celebrate at Shokudo...

where Tyler gave Grandma the card he made.

Tyler also went with Aunty and Grandma to the new Target in Salt Lake. Tyler likes riding the kiddie cart.



He also enjoyed riding the Waikele trolley...



And riding his bike at Kakaako Waterfront Park.
