Baby boy Mason

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.

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.

He looks so peaceful.

The Garden

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Soaking the feet in the hot tub

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

up and over the hill.

Cheese!!!

Then we climbed a few rocks.

Keep Up!

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

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.

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

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.
