Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween weekend. On Friday we painted out pumpkins. On Saturday we went to the mall for a little bit and trick or treated there. Then Jason took Tyler and Jaxon around our neighborhood. The boys had a lot of fun, it is fun that they are old enought to do it on their on and they know what to do.

Brycen only tried to eat the paint brush a couple of times. Ha ha!

Jaxon with his finshed product.

Tyler

Jason's is the only one who carved one, I think it turned out great!

Our family of pumkpins!

Diddy Kong, Mario, and Luigi!

Family Pictures

This is one of our favorites!

My handsome boys!! I love this picture it is my favorite!!

The little stinker Tyler of the group, most of the pictures we got were either chessy or to forced smiles. Thankfully we got a few that I loved.

My mellow Jaxon!!

My sweet little Brycen!!! He was the best of all 3 of the boys to smile and sit still, you wouldn't have thought that a 1 year old would be better than a 5 year old!

I also put my favorite family picture up on top as the header and changed my boys pictures on the side of the other ones I liked of them.

Pumpkin Patch

We had fun at the pumpkin patch again this year. Such a perfect activity for young boys.

Blake, Jaxon, Adam, and Tyler waiting for the tractor

All of us on the tractor, I am back there I promise.

Brycen was so mad when I had to take it away from him to put him in the car, he loves his pumpkin.

Jaxon loving picking a pumplin but not loving the sun!

He loves doing this.

All the boys with their pumpkins but not liking looking at the sun, but hey we got a picture right?

This past Sunday my wonderful husband has been given the opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric. I am grateful for this chance we both have to serve him and to learn and grow through this calling. I am so grateful for our ward and the wonderful support they are and will be to us. I am also sooo grateful for our families and the support they are to us. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives. I know that this calling will be a sacrifice for our family but I know that this calling was given to Jason by our Heavenly Father. I know that if I put my faith and trust in Heavenly Father I can do those things that he wants me to do.

My handsome boys before church on Sunday. I am so lucky to have all of them in my life!

Remember This?

Remember this last year?

Well look at them now!! My Little Ute fans!

Jaxon is a BIG boy!!!

I have been putting off potty training Jaxon because I have had such a rough go with Tyler. I decided once Tyler started Kindergarten we would start. I am so proud of him, he is potty trained and I love it. He picked up on it really fast and is doing so great! Since I started him doing this I have noticed how grown up he is getting. He surprises me daily with the new things that he has learned. I love watching my kids learn new things! I love this boy and am so glad that I get to have some one on one time with him each day. He makes my smile and laugh every day!! Way to go Jaxon, we love you!

I am One Year Old!!!

How did this happen and where did the time go!! This sweet little boy went from this..

1st Birthday Party

Lots and lots of presents!

Happy Boy!!!!

But after all that partying this is what happens!!! We are so happy this little boy is here with us. We can't imagine our lives without him. He brings so much joy and laughter to our home.

Look what I can do!!!!

Yes my baby is walking!!! So cute!!

I can't believe it....

My little Tyler started Kindergarten yesterday!! He was so excited! He was dressed and ready to go a couple of hours before it was time to go! He was so fun to watch that morning!

Yeah I got a good smile!! Usually I get the cheese face.

The girls he gets to carpool with, Halle and Sydney! They were all so excited! Their teacher is Mrs. Susana.

I had to throw a picture of these crazy cousins in. 3 out of 5 looking at the camera isn't bad!

No kids allowed!!!

Last weekend was our first trip with my parents, grandparents, siblings and their spouses. All the kids stayed and got to play with their other grandparents. We went to St. George for 4 days and 3 nights. We rented a house, we was wonderful I would definetly recommend doing that. We went to 3 different plays, 2 in Cedar City and we saw Tarzan at Tuachan. It was such a wonderful weekend to just have fun as couples and enjoy each others company.

This is our house!

We played some Wii, pool, and air hockey!

We swam every chance we could especially the guys! We also had a lot of late nights because of this pool!

Lots of craziness!

All of us at the green show before, Much Ado about Nothing.

Thanks mom and dad for making it possible, and especially thank you to my wonderful in-laws who kept 5 boys under six in one piece while we were gone. You don't know how thankful we are to you, we all needed such a wonderful break!

Just keep swimming....and other fun things!

I have been so frustrated with myself, because we have done some fun things but I was not very good at taking many pictures. I had my camera with me at those times but I didn't pull it out. I didn't even get any pictures of the 4th of July. I am a little bit annoyed by that one. Oh well at least I got some.

The end of June we went with all of Jason's family up to Lava Hot Springs. We just camped 2 nights, I think that was the perfect amount for our boys. Thanks again mom for keeping Brycen at your house so we could have fun with Tyler and Jaxon.

Jason and Tyler floating around.

This is the only picture I got of Jaxon at Lava, the poor boy was so tired because we had to give him benedryl that morning because of this...

This is about an hour or 2 after we woke up the first morning. We he first woke up he couldn't open it at all.

What a ham!!!!

This is what I came home to after Relief Society one night. Poor Jason had to deal with it all, because I left my phone in the car.

Also, every year we get to go to Jason's uncles house to swim in their pool. Brycen's first time in a pool and he loved it. I was surprised we got every smiling for the most part. It was a lot of fun and nice because Tyler and Jaxon were so easy because they just float around in the tubes and are happy and content. So far are summer has been a lot of fun. Hopefully I will be able to take more pictures of the things that we have to come.

The Zoo!!!

A couple of weeks ago my sister in law and I decided to take all 5 of our boys to the zoo without our husbands. We were hoping that all would go well and the boys would listen. We were pleasantly surprised at how well they all did. Yes of course a lot of animals were lazy but the boys still had fun. They especially loved the snakes, as you can tell they are all boy!

Brycen haning out in the stroller eating the map!

Jaxon

Tyler

All boys seeing what monkey they were most like! (minus Brycen)

This crocodile looked fake because it wasn't moving. The only thing that let us know that it was real was looking at his throat, occasionally it would move. It was crazy! I wish my boys could hold still that long! ;)

The turtles of all things were one of the only animals moving.

And of course, baby Zuri. She was so cute to watch!!

Rub a dub dub

I think this picture says it all!!
