Christmas Time!

My Little Man!

I decided I am so far behind on posting!! ;) So much has happened and I haven't been able to play catch-up yet... I will, but for now I was just thinking about my little dude and how darn cute he is! He makes me laugh so hard and gives me such joy! This is in our front tree, which he loves to play in with daddy. I just love him!!

GrEaT uPdAtE oN mY dAd!

My Dad went in for his follow-up today to find our if the cancer had spread . . . and it did NOT!! Yay! :) Now he doesn't have to have radiation or chemotherapy. We are SO excited! Thanks for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers our way. It is greatly appreciated!
As for his recovery . . . he is doing really well. He is tired a lot, and still sore. Not too bad though. He also got his cathedar out today, which he was very glad about;) So things are great!
Thanks again!

mY dArLiNg DaDdY!

My sweet dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last month. He is going in for surgery to remove it tomorrow morning. Any prayers and thoughts for him tomorrow would be greatly appreciated:)


I'll keep everyone updated, but we feel really good with the doctor and that it will all go well. Good luck - I love you dad!!

Date Night!

Saturday night, Tyler and I decided to have a date night! We went and saw Transformers 2, ate dinner, played games, and then went to the drive-in to see a double feature! We saw GI Joe and The Proposal. . . It was so much fun! We haven't done that in soooooo long:) {Thanks Jen & Tone for watching Hunter, so we could}

Thanks sweetie for setting it all up! You are a babe! I love you sooo much:)

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

For Brian's birthday, we went to Texas Roadhouse! A favorite:) It was great! Hunter loved riding the horsie with Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you!

RiDiNg Up FaRmInToN

I love to go riding up Farminton! It is so beautiful! Isn't it amazing all the wonderful creations we have to enjoy around us?!Here's Ty and I in the back of his parent's Ranger! Hunter gets to sit up front with Grandpa and Grandma;)

Here's Derek and Emilee! Oh so cute! We are breaking Em into the outdoors world:)

There's Daddy and Hunter!

The happy couple again;)I loved this one of Hunter! He is so funny! He was throwing rocks into the lake, and then he was so proud of himself:) I love little boys!

There's us all just chillin'!We stopped to build a fire and eat dinner. Hunter thinks he is such a big helper... he likes to throw on all the wood he can find:)

Derek and Em obliged to roast us all our hot dogs;) It was way too hot by the fire in the hot sun!

Hunter and Daddy goin on a walk....

They always bring me back flowers. Here's Hunter bringing them back... :) Love him!

Bri does the same thing for Suz! So cute! Wonder where Ty got it from? ;)Hunter loves to explore!

Here's Ty setting up our targets... We like to take their guns up and shoot for fun. That's Derek and I. I kick bootie!Here's Suz and Em... again breaking Em in:)And then here's the pros!And we're off back down the mountain!

Hunter loves to ride with Grandma and Grandpa! He's their little buddy for sure:)

CaMpInG uP fArMiNtOn CaNyOn!

We went camping with just our little family up Farmington Canyon! It was so much fun! We didn't realize however that there was something smeared on our camera lens until after we got back, so all of our pictures have a wonderful blur right down the middle... oh well;) Atleast it's something! We did have our video camera so not all was lost.

We got up there, set up camp, cooked hot dogs and smores, and tucked in early with Hunter Friday night. The next morning came very early { Hunter wakes up with the sun when we go camping:) } We cooked french toast and eggs for breakfast and went riding! It was so beautiful up there! Perfect weather, perfect views:) Hunter crashed so we went back to camp.

We then went for a little hike! Which turned into 3 hours:)

We had to put Ty/Hunter's new pack to good use!

Which also put my not-so-good knee to good {or should I say bad} use;)

Hunter fell asleep.... again!

We played some more and just enjoyed the beauties of nature! Thanks sweetie for taking us!

hApPy 4tH!

Well, here are a few pictures from the 4th! We had a blast! { apart from the fact that I was sick, but I pushed through for the sake of the holiday:) Both Baylee and I threw up} There is no other city like Kaysville in their celebration of the 4th! No matter where we live, we will always celebrate there. We went to the breakfast at the DATC first in the morning {which my Dad puts on I might add} before the parade, and then we made it down to Main Street to watch the festivities unfold:) All of our family sits in the same spot every year. . .

Hunter loved it this year! {Even though he doesn't look like it in the pictures:) } He seriously is such a stink when it comes to pictures! He knows when I'm taking them. He will be all smiles and then as soon as I point.... smile, gone.

Me and Bri!

The kids would sit down a lot to take a break from all the running back and forth to get the candy!

More Candy Grabbin'. . .

More sittin' and eatin'. . .

My little dude! I love him:)

Hunter got a frisbee and Tyler put his nerds on it so he could eat them better, but of course this became a hot item for the cousins:) So here Ty is trying to teach Hunter that he needs to share his treats with his buds... Hunter was a little resistant to that :)

He caught on and they all enjoyed!

You could have glued Bay's hands to this bottle and she wouldn't have cared or probably noticed! She loved that thing! Very worthwhile $0.99 purchase Jen;)

Will was crackin me up! He found the bucket of water halfway through the parade and just started splashing away! You can see that Char was standing close and it got her! Oh hilarious! I love her face:)

Taco Time threw red, white, and blue necklasses! They were a hit!

More treats for his frisbee:)

Here's Emilee, Derek and Suz! {Emilee is Derek's new girlfriend whom we love!}

Uncle Ryan gave Hunter a basketball as he went by for his dad's company... It was awesome! Hunter loves it! Thanks RY:) He also gave Bay this princess kit, which you can tell was also a hit!

Hunter seriously scored at the parade! It was amazing... people would just come over and hand him stuff! {it's got to be the red hair!} He got the basketball, a bouncy ball, 2 frisbees, the necklasses, a rubber gel ball, a tie, a heart shaped fuzzy pillow, pens, and tons of candy of course!

We then went over to Ty's parents house cause Hunter crashed! Ty followed suit, and so we ate & played bocce ball til they woke up:) Look at that form!

After Hunter woke up, he wanted to play all by himself! It's my favorite to watch... everytime he picks one up he goes "eavy, eavy" {which means "heavy, heavy"} and he grunts like it's so hard! Oh, he makes me laugh!

Look at that cute little bum!

Hunter and I also got in the hot tub cause he wanted to play in the water. He loves water! {Okay, really the better word is obsessed with water!} It did feel really good on my upset stomach though;)

We then moved the party to my parents house!

Hunter loves to swing on Nana & Papa's swing set! Especially with them:)

We also played badmitton. Emilee and I decided we could take Suz and my Aunt Louise, but holy smokes did they show us up! My sweet Aunt Louise is one of the most humble, soft-spoken ladies you will ever meet, but boy does she have an athletic/competitive side;) I couldn't stop laughing! So, they killed us needless to say!

We then went to the fireworks at DHS. This was Hunter's first time seeing them cause last year he was so little we were afraid they'd scare him. Which we were probably right;) Baby Caroline did not like them one little bit! Hunter loved them! He couldn't stop moving though... he'd go from Mommy, to Nana, to Papa, to Bompa, to Daddy, to Momma, to Grandpa Wright, to Uncle Joe-Joe, to Aunt Jenn, to Uncle Derek & Auntie Em, back to Mommy and then do it all over again! Wow! He's non-stop;) We then finished up with our own little fireworks at my parents again, just for Hunter:) They are his favorites!

Oooooooohhh........

Aaaaaaaahhh.........

And that was our 4th! Happy day America! We love you:)
