My Swimming Boys!

This was the First swim of the season. It was with our friends the Jensen's, at View Point, and YES it was a heated pool. Hyrum picked right back up with his swimming and was a fish, and Wyatt just enjoyed every minute.

Oh Shoot!

We went out to the desert to do some shooting. Hyrum loves being with his daddy.



Jaron with his 30-30. It has a big kick. He shot a grapefruit, Yeah, it exploded. It was so funny.



This is Jarons Cousin Neil and his Wife Sarah, they have been in town, and we have had such a great time with them, going out and playing. This is the Jeep they drove and took Hyrum on a little off-roading. To say the least Hyrum was so excited and loved it.

3 year old Photographer ?

What does a three year old boy take pictures of when he takes off with your camera.

Hyrum has done this before and it is pictures of his toys, and upclose pictures of the baby. It is just funny how his little mind works.

He really loves taking pictures of his brother, and he always wants me to do a silly face.

Craft Corner!

Boy have I been busy... and loving it!!!
These Crafts have something in common. They are all Modpodged letters. I am loving working with these right now. I am having a fun time finding new ways to use the modpodge.

Ok...I love doing crafts. Lets just say it! And with all these baby showers and such, I have an excuse to go out and make some more. If it was all for me I wouldn't be able to justify it :)

My Family Sign redone. I lOVE it know.



An "r" i made for baby Ridge's Room.

These are both for a girl's baby's room. I got the idea from the Ribbons and lace store and adapted it.

Sign i made for my sis-in-law. Her colors in her baby boys' room were Primary bold colors.

This "family" sign, i made for my Mother. And Mom loves it.

Then at my sis-in-laws baby shower, i as asked to make another sign that said "all boy". She asked for Brown and Green. I was excited on how it turned out.

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!!

Our Little Christmas

With all the Craziness of the last few months it was quite pleasant to find that our Christmas turned out very nice. Our boys had a super morning. This is what they woke up too.

Our sweet beautiful Morning Baby Wyatt and his super soft Puppy dog he got. Thank YOU!

Hyrum is at the age where he really knew what was going on. It made this Christmas really fun. It lasted a long time. We opened each gift, played with it, took them out of boxes, put batteries in... basically drew out Christmas morning as long as we could.

Daddy picked out these Hulk gloves, so now when they play fight, it won't hurt as much :).

Hyrum loves his marble track, it is one of his favorite gifts.

Hyrums New Big Boy Bike. He could not wait to ride it. He loves riding his bike, because he can go faster and it has breaks. He loves that about it too.

Hyrum and daddy with his race car track.

We were able to see a lot of blessings come to us this Christmas. We know our Heavenly Father was mindful of us. It was a wonderful Christmas to enjoy. We were all happy and healthy and glad to be together and here in AZ with family.

Baby Wyatt 5 Months and Not so Baby Hyrum

Our Sweet Baby Wyatt is now 5 Months. I just can not believe how fast it is flying. He is just the gentle baby. His cry is just a whimper and he is always smiling. We love him and can not imagine our life with out him in our family.




And our not so Baby boy Hyrum started Sunbeams! He really loves it. Loves going to sharing time, and singing all the time. He was definitely ready.

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).
