Christmas 2001

2011-12-14T13:43:00.000-07:00

It looks like winter

2010-11-22T13:27:00.006-07:00

I guess winter has hit us early this year. We got a ton of snow and it makes me sad to see fall fade away but Rylee was so excited to get to play out in the snow.

These aren't very good pictures but the kids were having so much fun while Justin cleared the snow.

Halloween time

2010-11-05T11:50:00.006-07:00

Halloween has come and gone once again and we had a good old time. We made costumes we carved pumpkins we went to preschool parties and elementary carnivals and trick-or-treating. Lets just say Ry had the time of her life and Mason couldn't figure out why there were so many weird looking creatures and people all around.

Ry had to carve her very own pumpkin, and no she wouldn't allow mom or dad near her pumpkin.

We still don't know what she made out of it but she had a good time doing it.

As for Mason he just wanted to be in all the pictures and eat the pumpkin guts. When ever we bring out our phones or camera he is right there saying "CHEEEEEESE" with a great big smile.

Here is our little princess and our green frog prince. We couldn't get a picture of them together to well so grandma had to hold them.

They are getting ready to knock on their first door, can you see the excitment?

Mason was so excited he wouldn't hold still so this is the best I could really get of him.

Here is the beautiful princess herself. She thinks she is a princess everyday though, not just halloween. And that is her pumpkin behind her, it does have a few tiny holes in it but mostly drawn on.

Summer Time

2010-09-13T10:41:00.008-07:00

I have been really lazy with the computer this summer. I have not posted a thing. So this is a really long post with alot of our summer activities. We had a great one and are very sad to see it come to an end.

On a hike to the springs

Mason looks so cute while he sleeps

The dishwasher is his favorite toy. As soon as he hears it open he is on his way as fast as his little body can go.

Mason and cousin Aiken

Daddy and Mason taking a lounge.

Up as Sundance hanging out on the grass.

Mason loves his suckers.

Justin and Rylee enjoying their suckers while watching the fish.

Isn't he such a big boy.

We went to Twin Lakes for the afternoon and Ry was enjoying the water.

Grandma and Mason watching the lake.

Ry and Mason at the park.

We went to the lake one night and Mason loved it.

Everyone hanging out at the lake.

At the mall we can't get out without at least sitting in a car.

Preston Parade. Doesn't she look excited.

Picking up Uncle Colton at the airport.

Taking a hike at the cabin.

Mason likes to be number one.

All three of them love the 4-wheeler.

We went on a train ride and had a great time.

Mason is in love with oreo's if you can't tell.

At home

2010-05-12T11:24:00.004-07:00

Ry trying to feed Mason, I can't tell who is bigger.

He loves his big sister no matter how much she tortures him.

She loves to rock.

And he is on his way to be like his big sister.

Playing in the yard

2010-05-12T10:42:00.004-07:00

Our yard is still dirt but I thought I would see what Mason would do so we have some fun in the dirt.

Isn't Ry a cheeser.

Well who would have guessed a little boy eating dirt, I never thought he would do such a thing (ha ha ha!!!).

But he is still cute with a face full of dirt.

Mason eating

2010-02-02T12:12:00.003-07:00

The Dr. said to go ahead and start giving Mason some cereal. Well to say the least I think he likes it.

What has been going on

2010-02-02T11:49:00.008-07:00

It has been a while since I've posted anything. Since Christmas we've been kind of busy so this is just a glimps of the kids in the last month. They are growing so fast. Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks (yes on both kids).

Merry Christmas

2009-12-15T14:41:00.001-07:00

Rylee was dancing to some music in her Christmas hat. She can be such a performer when she wants to be.

Hair cut

2009-12-15T14:34:00.002-07:00

Mason's hair was bugging both me and Justin. I should have taken a picture of the mullet he had in back but it just had to go so I took the cutters to him and now his hair is a little more even.

this is the before picture with dad.

This is the after picture. You really can't tell the difference but I can. Isn't he getting so chunky:)

Pumpkin time

2009-10-28T11:02:00.003-07:00

Ry and dad are hard at work

Even Mason got to enjoy some pumpkin carving (doesn't he look excited about it)

Me and Syd having fun

Rylee is really excited (she always says that)

Who is who?

2009-10-28T10:49:00.003-07:00

I thought I would post a few pictures of how Rylee and Mason look quite a bit alike.

fun times

2009-10-24T15:08:00.002-07:00

Rylee talked daddy into playing with her. He was lucky enough to get a makeover, Ry called him her Gold Medal Beauty, who knows where they come with these things.

We have a nusery book that we have family home evening out of and there was a picture of someone getting a blessing in it so now she thinks that she has to give Justin blessings.

Doesn't he look sexy!!!

It's fall

2009-10-24T14:59:00.001-07:00

Rylee helped Grandma Blair pick up the fall leaves. She probably made more of a mess then cleaning up but she had fun.

Growing

2009-10-24T14:34:00.004-07:00

Mason is finally putting on the pounds and growing so fast. I've been kind of busy trying to learn how to take on two kids so I haven't got anything on here for a while so here we are.

took him outside for a few minutes so he could enjoy the fall weather.

doesn't he look all warm and ready for a nap.

A lazy day at home

2009-09-18T15:21:00.002-07:00

Rylee, dad and Mason enjoying some tv time.

Rylee wanted to lay down by Mason. She looks so big next to him.

I didn't know a baby could smile so much. I don't think it is gas because he would be always having gas. We just love his smiles.

Baby boy Mason

2009-09-18T13:58:00.005-07:00

Little Mason was born at 12:44 in the afternoon on Saturday the 12th. He shocked us all by only weighing 5 lbs and 15 oz (a lot small then his sister Rylee). He ended up being 9 days early. He is a good little boy and we are excited to have him here with us. Rylee thinks he is so cute and loves to give him hugs and kisses.

Just after he was born and cleaned up a bit.

Mason and mom's first picture together.

Mason and dad ready to go home from the hospital.

He looks so small in his carseat.

Rylee's first time holding Mason (you can tell she is really excited about it). They wouldn't let kids 13 and younger into the hospital so the first time Rylee got to see her little brother was at home and she could barely contain herself.

Photo shoot of a sleeping little guy.

He looks so peaceful.

His first wipe down.

The Garden

2009-07-28T15:45:00.004-07:00

We decided to try a garden this year but we didn't expect much to grow because we have really bad clay soil. But we had an awesome neighbor bring us in some top soil and we tilled it and planted our little seeds and this is what we got. I think it turned out pretty good.

This is our Corn and potatoes.

Here is our lettuce, peas, and beets

I decided Ry would like to see sunflowers so we are waiting for them and then our pumpkins are taking over the garden.

Swimming at Bear Lake

2009-07-28T15:35:00.004-07:00

We went to Bear Lake for the day and Ry had a good time.

Rylee called us all Beach Babes but these are the only two that looked the part

Or you can call these two beach babes if you want to

Ry and Syd running through the water.

The Cabin

2009-06-25T14:12:00.002-07:00

We finally made it over to Wyoming and enjoyed some time at the cabin. Rylee had a blast. She loves spending time in the mountains.

This looks a little scary to me.

Rylee loves hiking and exploring.

The whole family going on a hike.

Dad and Ry tried fishing but the river was to fast.

Rylee loves to throw rocks in the river.

Things Rylee Loves

2009-04-09T10:25:00.002-07:00

Rylee has a few new things she likes to do. We have to go out everyday, that it is warm, and climb a dirt hill we have in our yard. We've decided we don't need to get a playset she has just as much fun on the hill as she could on any swing or slide.

Then to relaxe she has to get in her bed with all of her stuffed animals and dolls. She loves to be surrounded by the ones she loves. Can you pick Rylee out of the bunch?

Spring Break

2009-03-17T13:50:00.011-07:00

Justin had the week off so we decided to get out of the snow and head down south for a few days. We ended up staying in St. George. It was a little cool in the mornings and evenings but all you needed was a jacket and by the middle of the day you didn't even need that. We had a great time getting out and going on hikes and seeing the sights. Rylee was a trooper and loved the hiking part she had to do it all on her own, she thought that she was Dora the Explorer. But we had a good time as a family and were so glad that we went and got to spend time with each other in the beautiful outdoors.

Justin and Ry in a cave

One of Rylee's favorite things to do is throw rocks in the water. I think she could have done that all day long.

Here we are at the end of the trail and we are throwing more rocks.

Climing on the rocks

Justin and Rylee playing in the pool

Soaking the feet in the hot tub

We went to the sand dunes and played. These two got good at building sand castles.

Cheese!!!

Then we climbed a few rocks.

Keep Up!

2009-01-07T19:08:00.003-07:00

Christmas day it snowed all day so the next day we all went out and played in the snow. Rylee had a great time being pulled on the sleigh.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-07T18:02:00.006-07:00

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was our first Christmas to spend in our very own home and it was so nice. Rylee had so much fun opening presents and rolling around in the paper that was all over the floor. She had so much fun running around and playing with her gifts. Grandpa, grandma and Syd came over and spent the day with us. We all had fun playing games and spending time together.

2008-11-07T16:04:00.002-07:00

I finally got Rylee's 2 year pictures. We had this wonderful man who we call Uncle Bob meet us in Smithfield Park and take Ry's pictures. He was so cute with her and we actually got some smiles and definitely more pictures then I have of her in a very long time. Here are just a few of the cute ones I wanted to share.

Growing a Farm Girl

2008-11-07T15:59:00.003-07:00

Rylee has been scared of the tractor but Justin was determined to get her on it and finally he succeeded. I don't think she liked it a ton but she was a good sport.

2008-10-21T08:38:00.002-07:00

We are digging our septic system so Justin gets to use our neighbors tractor. It is so funny to see him get to use it because he reminds me of a little boy when he gets a new toy to play with.

Rylee's 2nd Birthday

2008-09-16T13:10:00.008-07:00

We had a fun day yesterday. Rylee turned two and she was determined that is was not her birthday but Colton's (he had a birthday a few days ago). But by the end of the day she wanted it to be her birthday so she could get all the presents.

We are so glad to have Rylee in our lives. She means so much to us and brings so much joy and laughter into our lives. She is the cutest girl and so much fun to have around. You never know what she is going to come up with. She always has to say hi and loves to smile at people even if she is scared to death of them. I can tell already she is going to be a hard worker because she has to follow me around and clean-up (she loves to say clean-up the whole time she is doing it) and she also loves to help do the dishes. She has a contages smile, I can be so mad at her and as soon as she turns and gives you one of those smiles you just can't stay mad. Well, we love her and can't wait to have many more years of birthdays with her.

Rylee didn't want her picture taken at the begining of the day.

She is on the Dora 4-wheeler that Nana and Pop gave her. Thanks Nana and Pop!

She got a baby doll and she is always loving it.

This is her carefully opening a present. She wouldn't just rip into it.

She got a few clothes.

The Birthday Girl with her balloons, bean-bag and stroller.

Rylee won't eat cake so we got her a stack of donuts instead and then we lit the candles on top and she got scared and wouldn't blow them out so mommy had to do it for her.

This is her starting to eat her donut then she decided it was time to play with the toys again so she didn't eat much.

It was the end of the night and she was relaxing in her bean-bag.

The house is getting there

2008-09-06T12:21:00.003-07:00

We are getting closer, this is what it looks like right now.

The roof is suppost to go on it this week an the siding in a few more weeks.

Here is Ry and Justin at the house, she likes to pick up things.

It was a really pretty sunset so I had to take a picture of it while I was taking pictures of the house.

2008-08-26T08:07:00.005-07:00

We just started the electrical work on our house this last weekend. We ended up having great help. My family and Justin's family came to the rescue. We are so greatful that they came. Thanks everyone for the help.

Rylee loves her camping chair, she always has to have it but she hardly ever sits in it for long.

Justin and Rylee are going for a walk. Aren't they so cute.

Rylee is trying to get out of her back pack. She can pull the funniest faces.

2008-08-11T13:26:00.002-07:00

We went up in the mountains and had dinner on our anniversary and we took Ry.

We had a great time.

Ry and dad getting in the car to go home.

Justin is such a great father and husband. I'm so glad that we've been married for six short years and have many more to come. He takes such good care of us and does pretty much what ever we tell him to (that can get pretty demanding expecially with Rylee's list in there). I am so greatful for him and love him so much. Thanks Justin for all that you do.

On the way home we saw a bunch of deer with there babies. They were so cute.

Then we drove a little further and saw a big buck. Isn't he pretty.

2008-08-09T08:44:00.004-07:00

I just wanted to let all of you know that today is our 6th anniversary. I am happy to say that I am still in love with this beautiful woman. She means the world to me and I love her very much.

Good times in California

2008-08-06T08:41:00.001-07:00

It looks like Syd and Justin are excited to be on the beach but what is

up with Colton, you would think we forced him to come.

We are trying to save money building this house so we came up with this great new plan that since we have a kid we might as well put her to work :-)

Boating at Deer Creek

2008-07-21T13:46:00.004-07:00

We went out on the boat with Nana, Pop and Aunt Kelli. Rylee was a little nervous at first but she ended up really likeing it.

We were sitting on the back of the boat with our feet in the water then all of a sudden Rylee started scooting her little butt out so we guessed she wanted in the water. So Aunt Kelli got in and her and Ry went for a little swim. Thanks Aunt Kelli.

Rylee and Nana Going for a ride

I had to post this picture of me going skiing. I haven't even tried skiing for 4 years or more. Well I got up on one ski my first time trying. I'm not going to say I lasted very long though.

Me and Melissa made the girls tutus. Rylee thinks she is a Princess now.

The day we made it she wouldn't take it off and we had to go to a baby shower in it.

These are just a few pictures of Rylee in Syd's old dress up clothes.

She is definitely becoming a little girl and thinking she needs to be a princess

but I think that she is cute enough to be one.

Dandelion covered fields

2008-06-07T08:46:00.003-07:00

Out where we are building our house the field is covered with
