Arrrr! Twas a Pirate Party!!!

Happy Birthday to my AUGUST boys! Hyrum and Wyatt!!

Hyrum and Wyatt were so awesome to let me throw them a joint birthday party last weekend! August just flew by, and i planned this party on the FLY! I convinced the boys that a pirate party would be so fun (because Indiana Jones was the alternative, and i could not find anything out there that was Indiana Jones with out some Huge effort and lots of planning...but there was tons of pirate stuff, thanks to good ol' Pirates of the Caribbean)

We found the Pinata at Walmart the night before and the other Pirate Festivities at Hobby Lobby! -Who Knew-

Good ol Procrastination and Tired-nation, worked with me this year.

Here are my happy boys with there really cool Priate Pinata!

Here are the kids pre-party, filing the Pinata with all the goodies... they got a kick out of this. It is so funny, my boys now expect a pinata at every birthday, since we have had one for the last few years. Its not a Party unless we have a Pinata mom...says Hyrum...

Now this was a last minute change! We were SO excited that it actually turned out, didn't crash, or fall apart...Right?!... outside of the cook time, and the cakes to Chill time, it only took me about an hour or so to put together... Me and My dear mother had fun figuring out how to get it to work. here is our end result, and we were in bed my 3am... :o), ahh what we do for our Kiddos!

Wyatt turned 3 and Hyurm 6...hence the two candles... I was cutting corners everywhere...hopefully they will still love me when they look back on this as adults :o)...

This has been one of the best Purchases! the Little and big kids love it... and its a little something different for a party too...

now with these $10 pinatas you can not expect too much... all the little ones made it through being able to give the Pirate a good 3 hits...

But once the big kids got up there it didnt stand a chance...

Hyrum was excited that he was the one to Smack the Head Clean off!!

But no worries, we retied the body, and made sure everyone got to take a Swing at it...the last kid, Briggs, my nephew took One swing, and Popped the Pirate right open...worked out quite well.

Hyrum and Wyatt with their cake, they thought it was awesome!

They had a really great time! thanks to all those who came to celebrate with us! Arrrr! Happy Birthday to my Jr. Mateys! We love you two!!

Happy Birthday Wyatt Trejo!!! 3 Years Old!!

This Little MAN, is still my baby boy! I can not believe that it has been 3 years already for him. He is such a fun kid, and I am enjoying all my time with him...

First Day of Preschool, he was so excited to be a big boy and go to school!

This was our first look at our little Wyatt, we didn't know it then...but those cheeks are here to stay!

This is how chill of a baby he was from the Get go! he Loved his first bath, and getting his hair brushed. OH he was one darling sweet infant!

Here is my mr. cheekers, as I would call him (still do..) just about a week old here.

I could not get enough of this boy sleeping, he was so beautiful (as are all sleeping babies) but i just loved those cheeks, and his long eyelashes...

Almost 2 months old, and just a Gem!

This is how i found Wyatt quite often when he would fall asleep, or just casually laying somewhere, with his hands folded and clasped into each other. Such a peaceful look, don't you think?

Wyatt at 5 1/2 months old!

Wyatt's 7 month Pictures, what a big boy!

Wyatt at 11 months and lots of teeth. 4 on top and 2 on the bottom...

Happy 1st Birthday mr. cheeks, I can not get enough of his eyes and cheeks!

18 months, Mr. Big boy, and Ready for Nursery!

18 months

Wyatt welcoming Hannah into the family... i love the look on his face here! so sweet. he was just under 2 years old.

Wyatt sure loved to swim, and was loving the water! 2 years old.

Wyatt finally got the hang of his Bike, loved it... 2 1/2 years old.

This is my Wyatt in a nutshell (basket), crazy, fun, wonderful, joyful, very tender, kind, loveable, sweet young boy!

Happy Birthday Mr. Cheekers! You are a special part of our family, and we love you so much. Thank you for being you!

Time Just will not slow down!

This is more of a Journal entry for My Hannah Bea who is 15 months Today!

(beware of length and lack of organization, I am not poetic or a great writer, i just have to get it down someway or another, or it will never happen)

What a fast time it has been, and when i look back i can not believe that Hannah has not always been in our life (all my kids for that matter). Miss Hannah has only been in our family for 15 months... we can still count the months!, But i feel like she has been mine -forever!

I don't know if it is because she is my girl, or its in her nature, or she is just my miracle, but this Baby girl of mine, is Heaven. I truly adore every moment with her, and have since birth. I love feeding time, she is just the cutest eater right now... I love her when she wakes up in the mornings, snuggle time, I love her active exploring time, I love her nap times too... I love to watch her watch Her BIG brothers! Hannah just gets a kick out of them. And the boys are loving how interactive she is getting too.

Hannah loves to smile and give kisses. she is starting to understand how to make people laugh, which is so fun to see her being silly. it gives her so much personality. OH, and she listens so well.

She understands so much. i could say to her "want to go change your diaper"...and she stops what ever she is doing, does and about face and beeline for her room. first time she did this was about a month ago, Jaron and I laughed, because we didn't know where she was going, and then were floored to see her waiting at her changing table...and we thought, NO WAY!

She is starting to say all kinds of words, or at least attempting them. Which counts for me. Hannah has been saying for a while now, "baba, mama, dada, hieee" but has added, " shooo (shoes), diepa (diaper), and wipsss (wipes), Hiya (hyrum)". It is just the best to see the development.

She just brings so much love and joy into our home and i could not imagine life with out her here with us. I honestly thank my Heavenly Father multiple times a day for our sweet Princess. I am amazed at her gentle sweetness, that just pours from her. And feel many times throughout each day that we do not deserve such pure joy and tenderness. But I know that the Lord loves us, and has Trusted us with these tender spirits. And i am grateful everyday for his Trust!...

Love you my Hannah Bea, thank you for being in our Family!

Happy Birthday Hyrum Grant - 6 years!

When i look back on my own life... it seems that it only truly begun at Marriage... Because everything worth anything has happened on that Day and the days that followed.

I married my Sweetheart and a few years later we were blessed with this wonderfully beautiful Baby boy, Hyrum Grant Speakman, at a good 9lbs and 6oz.

I love this picture of Jaron and Hyrum. Jaron looks so young, its fun to see...
