Happy Birthday William!!

 My sweet little Will turned 2 on Saturday.

 He loved opening his presents. His favorites were, a lightning mcqueen car, some thomas the train cars, and a little people fire truck.

We had just our little family to celebrate Will's birthday and it was lots of fun.
We love our little Will, he is so much fun to have around the house.  His little personality is so silly and goofy and naughty and sweet.   He is going to be the baby of the house for only a couple more weeks, I think the real terrible two's are about to hit!

I guess I should blog.

 Christmas eve pics.  The kids got pillow cases from Grandma and Papa with their pictures on them. They loved them!

 Today Brooklyn and I made a little doll house out of a shoe box for her new Lalaloopsy doll.

 She wanted to make furniture, but my craftiness was over with, so she used the furniture from her real dollhouse.

 We had a lot of fun painting and decorating.  She is loving it!

In other news, Tyson had an emergency appendectomy in the wee hours on Monday morning. He is doing good. I am still pregnant and getting bigger by the day. I was going to post a pic of my belly, but after I took the picture, it just made me depressed, I looked yuuucky.

Thanksgiving in Omaha

We drove the 14 hours to Omaha to spend Thanksgiving with Ty's family. We had a great time. Lots of good food and fun! The first pic is Tyson's family. The second is his parent's 9 grandkids, and the third is most of his extended family. My favorite person in all 3 pictures is Will. He is such a goof!!

New Pics

Just a couple of our most recent family pictures. There should be more to come, but I was very excited to get these as a little sneek peek. As always, Meegan did a wonderful job!

October Happenings...

Brooklyn at her Preschool Halloween Party. 

 Her cousin Emree got to stay at our house for 5 whole days while the boys were deer hunting. We had lots of fun girl time.

 She learned to ride a two wheeler, which turned out to be quite easy for her! She loves riding her bike like a big kid.

 I turned 31. Nothing too exciting. My cake was super delicious. Chocolate and caramel ice cream cake.

 Ty put on this wig the night before Halloween. Will, was so upset. He was NOT liking his daddy with all that hair.

 My little trick-or-treaters.

 Zach is playing the "dead skeleton pirate."

 Little Miss Kitty

Will is a rodeo clown. I loved it. He did not love it. When he saw his face in the mirror he got very angry. Typical Will.  If you will notice, he has his gun in his mouth. I guess he really did hate hit costume.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent the weekend in Vernal staying with Eric and Heather and their kids. We had a great time. We went to Flaming Gorge for the light parade of boats and fireworks. We also did some hiking. It was a great weekend.

Saturday Hiking

We took the kids hiking up Ogden Canyon on Saturday. We had planned a really fun hike a little bit further away, but it was supposed to rain so we did a smaller one. It never rained.

We saw a baby rattlesnake on the side of the trail. It coiled up inside a log and had its mouth open.

We talked to some guys on the trail who had seen a bigger one. Brooklyn was really scared. So she got to ride in the baby backpack.

Stopping for a little snack. The highlight for our kids, of course.
