Bryce Canyon, Utah

We took a trip up with Jarons family, up to Utah to visit Grandma Speakman the week before Thanksgiving. It was really nice to be with family and visit. We had so much fun I forgot to take pictures. Grandma Jo was dying of cancer, but just hanging on strong like the pioneer she was. It was a special time to be with her and the utah family.

Grandma enjoyed her thanksgiving day with her family, then passed away the following monday night, surrounded by loved ones. So we then went back up for the Funeral the weekend after Thanksgiving. Again we had a really nice time being with family, we forgot to take pictures again. But, we did grab it when we stopped at Bryce Canyon in Utah. Snapped a shot of me and my Hunny!


This is Jarons Family, Grand kids and Marrieds, missing Sarah, Justin, and Braxton.

Hyrum Loving the Snow. First Snow we were able to stop and play in. Utah gave us beautiful weather while we were there both trips. It was cold but not FREEZING.

Hyrum being done with the snow. He was crying because his hands were now Frozen :)

Sweet baby Wyatt all bundled up for the cold. He did so well on the trip.

This was the way home. Sleepily peacefulness. Ahhh. The boys did SUPER SUPER well for a 3 year old and a 3 month old in a car for 12+ hours, twice in one month. I could not ask for better. All in all it was a really neat trip and a great time together.

This is just after we got home we went and saw my parents G&G Rogers, Wyatt is always happy to see his Grandpa. (I loved this pic, and needed to include it in a post... so its a bit random, oh well).

Wyatt 3 Months

Our Sweet boy Wyatt is just growing too fast. I hear it from every one, just love this age, they grow up so fast... and I am witnessing it. I can not still believe my Baby Hyrum is actually 3 years old, and going to Preschool.

I really am trying to enjoy this time I have with Wyatt. He is the best little baby. He started sleeping through the night at 2 months. (knock on wood). He is the best tempered baby. He has been cooing and giggling and giving us little screeches of joy lately. He found his hands about 3 weeks ago and holds them and sucks on his fingers. It is just darling. He is just too fun.

If you are wondering if I kiss his chubby checks off... I Do, I can't get enough of his sweet face.

Craft Corner!

This is a Fall Wreath that i made for my mom and one for my mother-in-law. I was really excited how it turned out. My mom helped me pick out what flowers she wanted, and I went from there. We found The green ribbon on sale and the choice turned out awesome, and the fall colored roses were really fun to work with. It only ended up a $20 wreath.

this was my second project, I made this "family" sign for my friend for her birthday. I made a larger one a homemaking, and tried to duplicate it with what i could find at Michales. This ended up being around a $12-15 project. Way fun to do.

This was my final project... Burp cloths! I originally made 10, then came to realize that i was using a lot and was constantly doing laundry just so i could have fresh Burp cloths. So i made 10 more some for me, other for gifts. I Have a lot of baby's showers and such coming up. They turned out great and are very useful to me, the diffent ribbon helps me remember which ones i have used. :).

Dare to compare?

I love these boys!

My Lil' Hero's

We went with Super Hero theme here. Wyatt did great and Hyrum sure loved going trick-or-treating, and evertime we drive by our church were we had our Trunk-or-treating, he says "Mom, hey thats were we went trick-or-treating." and I always answer him, while laughing..."Thats right, but that is also where we go to church every sunday".

Hyrum and his Muscles.

Hyrum 3 Years, Wyatt 7 weeks ~ Pictures

I decided last minute to go get the boys pictures taken. So I went down to JcPenny's and used a coupon. Now it was no Kiddie Kandids shoot, but i get what i paid for and that was $18. So for the price I am not complaining, I just didn't get enough to choose from that was my only complaint. But all in all i was excited on how they turned out. Hyrums turned out Great, and Wyatts is a cute face for him but not my favorite.

This was the best one of them together, can you believe it.

First picture snapped of Hyrum, and it was the best one.

Cute little half smile.

Hyrum, my little man!

So so so Funny!

Now I'm not wanting to get all political on you, but this sketch from Saturday Night Live is So funny. I love it and Decided to share it with you. It is clean, for SNL skits.

Tina Fey is a dead ringer for Sarah Palin, it cracks me up. And I love the way Amy portrays Hillary Clinton. It really cracks me up .... Enjoy this video.

Wyatts Blessing Day

Today we were able to bless our Sweet Baby Wyatt. He did a great job, he didn't even cry. Jaron gave such a beautiful blessing. All in all it has been a wonderful Sunday!

Wyatt has just started to smile, at 5 weeks-ish. It has been really fun. He was sitting in his daddy's arms just after Sacrament meeting today and was smiling all over the place. I caught these few wonderful smiles.

Wyatt just turned 7 Weeks old.

No Satellite ... WHAT!

We have decided to make a big life decision, we got rid of our Satellite, and go with out TV/Cable/Satellite. It took us while to really make this decision, but we are in our first week. I will let you know how it goes.

We were just tired of watching All the TV. We had DVR recorder and it seemed that we watched more TV with it, then we did before, just on our own time. Don't get me wrong we LOVE the DVR and would recommend it to anyone, But we were just watching so much TV, we decided to just go Cold Turkey. Not even Antenna. Not till later.

We are going to do movies on the weekends and sometime down the road rent to seasons of the Shows we want to watch.

Baby Wyatt 3 weeks

How is it that you take pictures of your baby, but none of the pictures look like the baby you see. Does that even make sense. These pictures are close to what I see, but not quite there. The more pictures I review of Hyrum, the more I see the likeness, but Wyatt has a few personal differences. Its really fun to see. Enjoy!

These Boys are Brothers!

I was going back at some pictures when Hyrum was a baby, and the boys really have a lot that look similar. Its really fun to see. Well you can tell me what you think. Do they look similar, or is it just because they are both babies... that they look the same....?



Wyatt has dark hair and more of it, and chubbier cheeks.

Just for fun!

This is a really fun site.... what do you think....? Blondie or Brunette?

http://www.taaz.com Go enjoy... see for yourself. Some of the hairstyles are a little radical, but fun none the less.

Wyatt Trejo Speakman

He is here... in his own due... ha ha ha... due.... in his own due time. Everything was great. We went in Sunday, morning, and he was born that evening at 8:00pm on the dot, on August 24th .

Weighing in at 9 lbs and 15 oz, and being 21 inches long, this beautiful baby, who by the nurses report is huge.... is still the littlest bundle to me. He is such a good baby, and Hyrum could not be more excited.

If anyone was curious... i did not have a C-section, my body went into labor on its own, so i didn't have to be induced, and everything just seemed to go sooooo smoothly. The doctor was patient and the nurses were patient with me any my body, and they let it do the work. All in all it was awesome experience.... And when i say awesome, I mean in comparison to a c-section. Totally would go this route again.

Thank you to all who have been ulta helpful, and kind. Thank you for your thoughts and Prayers i know that the Lords hand was with us the whole way. I continued to see blessing after blessing as i was in the hospital. So thank you. and love to you all.

Nope, Nope, No baby Yet....

Just letting you know, I am still here and waiting. I'll Keep you posted :)
Love you all for checking on me. Your the best.

Nope No Baby yet!

Well I am hoping that by posting my pregnant picture.... it will get something started. No we have not had our baby yet, and it is looking to go past the due date too. Wednesday August 20th is the due date, but my body is not doing anything to move this process along. Sadly I am actually feeling really good and I can still walk around. The baby hasn't dropped and again, not much going on. I have an appointment on Wednesday... my due date... to talk options of possible scheduled C-section. That i am bummed about. But that is life. Well I will keep you posted!!! Wish us luck!!!

Hyrum's 3rd Birthday Party

Hyrum really loved his party that we had. He loved having all of his little friends and family around to share it with. I asked Hyrum like a month before his birthday what kind of Cake he would like, and he answered... A Train. Well I have to say that I successfully pulled it off. I'm also sad to say,I don't know how I will top this next year... maybe i will have to buy one :).

I just went online and found a bunch of train cake pictures and took different ideas from each one. I bought a bunch of candy, but wasn't sure how to use it, that is where my genius of a Mother came in. Two minds are better than one. Especially at 2am in the morning. Mom was a trooper, it was really fun to make, we had a great time.



Here is the Engine Car




The Coal car and candy car





The Animal Car and the crazy gummy worms on toothpicks car, which we thought kinda looked like balloons :)




Licorice for the track and Oreos for the wheels

Cade and Crew came early so they got to help Hyrum stuff the candy in the Pinata.

They were doing such a good job sharing and taking turns, Look how focused they all are.

The Giraffe pool came back for a second appearance this birthday. Hyrum remembered it and asked for it. Luckily we stored it well and it didn't have any holes in it. The kids really loved it again this year.

Hyrum LOVES breakfast (just like his mommy) so we decided to have pancakes and fruit and juice for food, instead of a BBQ. It really was fun. This is Hyrum with his darling cousin Brookies.

The cake.

Hyrum and his ever so talked about "Parata" (as Hyrum would call it- a mix between Pinata and Purana- due to his Tarzan watching Kick)

Friends and family waiting for their turn on the Pinata.

My little slugger.

Phil and Heathers little slugger ! Cade actually brought the whole Pinata down with his first swing or two. Now it didn't totally break, so we tied it up again around the whole thing and let the kids have a few more smacks at it.

The gathering of the goodies.

Hyrums successful large bag of candy.

The end of the party, everyone has gone home, We are all cleaning up, and Hyrum has pulled the stool over to the cake and... well.... enjoyed the remaining. He was really having a good time, it didn't matter. It was his cake, right :) !!

Happy Birthday my Sweet Boy!!! WE love you!
