Cheeser Wyatt

Wyatt is so dang cute and such a cheeser,  He absolutely loves to get his picture taken.  He often times brings me the camera and asks me to take his picture.  These are just a few pics we took one day when we were playing around.  How can you not just fall in love with that sweet face, those beautiful blue eyes and happy smile?  We are so blessed to have Wyatt in our family.

Playing in the Leaves

 Wyatt is such a cheeser.  He loves to get his picture taken.  This seems to be his usual pose when the camera comes out.  :)

 Rylie and Zach in the background.

 McKenzie, Kaylie and Kenzie's friend Becca.

 Wyatt hauling around Zach's skateboard.  He loves Zach's skateboard and prefers his over his own.

 We babysat my friends little guy Kason while she went to the BYU football game.  Wyatt had a blast playing with him and Kason loved playing in the leaves.

 Wyatt driving his truck we gave him for his birthday.  He calls it his jeep.  He loves his jeep and will drive it until the battery is dead.

One of the reasons we love fall so much and look forward to it each year is to play in the leaves.  I love the smell of fall and the anticipation it brings of knowing the holidays are right around the corner.  Friday night McKenzie raked a big pile of leaves and left them in the corner of the yard so that they could go back to them on Saturday morning and play in them.  They had a great time and played outside for hours.

Happy Halloween 2010

Halloween was so much fun this year.  The kids celebrated Halloween at school on Wednesday since parent teacher conferences were on Thursday.  They had their annual Halloween parade through the halls of the school.  It wasn't planned out very well.  The principal didn't allow enough time for the parade before school got out and half of the kids were still parading through the halls after the bell had rung and school was over.  I barely got a picture of Kenzie and Rylie and didn't even get a picture of Kaylie.  :(   This year McKenzie was a witch, Kaylie was a BYU fan...Go Cougs! Rylie was a 50's girls in a poodle skirt, and Wyatt was a dalmation...and the cutest one at that.  

Friday morning we finally got to carve our pumpkins.  The kids had a blast.  Wyatt was covered in Pumpkin guts.  There were seeds and pumpkin all over the kitchen, but what a great time.  Friday night Grandma Godfrey had a halloween party at her home.  The kids carved pumpkins, frosted and decorated sugar cookies.  We ate yummy soup and just enjoyed each others company.  I'm so grateful for wonderful family.  Saturday night we trick-or-treated.  It poured rain and hailed in Spanish Fork.  Lucky for us we waited out the storm and had a dry but cold night of trick or treating. 

Happy Halloween!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Big Man Wyatt

We went birthday shopping at Toys R Us.  You would have thought Wyatt was in heaven.  He had to see and touch and play with all the toys.  On the way out he had to sit and play in these cute cars.  Such a beautiful smile and sparkly blue eyes.

This past weekend we got to celebrate Wyatt's 2nd Birthday.  Whoo Hoo for being 2!  Wyatt is just the sweetest little boy ever and I really don't think we'll have to go through the terrible two's with him.  We had a birthday party on Friday night.  This kid got spoiled rotten.  He got lots of trucks, a train, a ball and bat, some clothes, a play tool set and a Power Wheels Ford F-150.  He loved opening presents and sharing his toys with his cousins.  Because he loves trucks so much I decided to make him a monster truck cake.  Unfortunately it didn't turn out like I pictured it.  I think it would have been cuter if I would have scheduled more time to work on it, but it tasted good and Wyatt didn't care about eating cake.  He just wanted to play with his toys.  

We are so blessed to have Wyatt as a part of our family.  He is the most amazing little guy and we are grateful every day for him.  Happy Birthday Big Man!  We love you!

Happy Birthday My Little Man

Happy 13th Birthday to my sweet Colton!!  I can not believe that 13 years ago my life changed forever with the birth of our sweet Colton.  He entered this life with a difficult delivery.  Stayed on this earth for only a short time but left a lasting impression and the knowledge that I have that Families Are Forever.  

Happy Birthday Little Man.  I hope that you are receiving a great birthday in Heaven.  I love and miss you more than you can ever know.

Rylie and her mishap

  Yesterday Rylie came home from school crying that she hurt her arm playing sharks and minnows.  I was kinda confused because it wasn't swollen or bruised but it really hurt for me to touch it. Apprehensively I loaded her up in the car and we headed to the Insta Care.  They looked at it, I think suspecting that maybe she just sprained it, but low and behold she cracked a bone and today she is sporting a cast on her arm that she'll need to wear for the next week.  And I bet you can never guess how she did it?  ...chasing a boy at school.  I think I'm in big trouble with all these boy crazy girls I have. 

Fall Photo Shoot

Today we decided to take advantage of the fact that Rich was home for a weekend and the great weather and take the opportunity to take some much needed family pictures. The kids are growing up so fast. Kenzie is quickly turning into a young woman, Kaylie and Rylie and growing up before our eyes. Wyatt is just such a silly little boy and constantly has us laughing. So anyway here is the result of our day. I am just an amature photographer but I think some of these turned out pretty good.

Rich's Moose Hunt

So this year Rich drew a Once in a lifetime Moose tag. He's been gone the last 4 weekends scouting out this monster bull he wanted to shoot and was determined he wasn't coming home until he had this big animal in the back of his truck. He spent 4 days looking and looking and chasing this moose all over the mountainside until he finally came across him and shot him. I received a phone call bright and early at 7 am on Monday morning. He was so excited that he finally got "Jack Daniels." (This is the nickname they gave him because of the number 7 that is on the side of his horns. It's made from some of the velvet that hasn't fallen off yet.) It took him hours to get him skinned out and ready to come home. But Rich is thrilled to have this animal hanging on our wall in the future. They've scored him and think he will score somewhere between 141 and 147, which is huge for a Utah moose. Hoping that he makes it in the Boone and Crocket books.

New North Park

e

At the end of our Summer vacation our long awaited new North Park finally opened. It has been about 2 years since the city demolished the old park with the news that Home Depot was coming to Spanish Fork City. Needless to say the spot where Home Depot is supposed to go is still just dirt and weeds but we are grateful that the new bigger and better park is finally done. At the end of the month they had a great "Grand Opening" Lots of fun, food, pony rides and even Smokey the Bear. I was worried Wyatt would be afraid of him, but he walked right up to him and gave him a big hug. It was adorable. His all-time favorite thing was the pony ride though. I love the smiles on my kids' faces. It's just priceless.
