Christmas at home

Almost everyone in our family had Bronchitis this Christmas (Tyce had it with a double ear infection too) Evan and Conner were somehow spared. We had to miss the famous family party, which was sad but we did our own lazy Christmas this year. The grand Present to all was a Disneyland vacation. We leave on New Years Day. My parents will keep Tyce which is sad, but it will make it a lot easier for us. He will get to go plenty more times in the future.

Tyce was the most spoiled with tons of clothes and toys! Everyone loved seeing him open his presents! Too bad he was sick!
The girls both were into Lalaloopsy dolls this year! Audrey's looks just like her doll! They both also got a lot of clothes and books. Audrey got an easel and little people and Kate got a Barbie and another lalaloopsy. They also got a lot of other stuff...
Christmas morning 5 AM, gotta love it! Audrey was up at 8, and Tyce was up at 9
Evan got his own Air Soft gun, and loves it! He also got clothes and video games
Conner and Evan both got Ninjago Legos and cologne. They also both got a lot of candy.
Baby Tyce! So cute! He loves his squeaky Cookie Monster. (Audrey is afraid of the Cookie Monster, so hopefully this will help her get over that!)
Someone hates mornings! She was grumpy as usually but so cute!
A couple hours later she was finally happy and put on her own Lalaloopsy dress-up clothes!
Tyce 6 months old
Evan and Tyce Christmas Eve!

Tyce 6 months

Before the big Christmas post, I wanted to update the new "talents" of Tyce! He is 6 months old, rolls all over, almost sits and army crawls. He has 1 and 1/2 teeth and loves to jump up and down! Bath time is his favorite time of day and Daddy gives him his bath so its Daddy time too. He absolutely ADORES his big sister Audrey and the cat Bella! He lights up whenever they are around! he is 100% SpOiLeD!!!! He is also a sturdy 20 lbs! He barely fits into the 12 month clothes! He is so squishy and fun! We love Ty- Ty!!!

Fall 2011

first snow! I really wasn't happy about it this year! some times its welcomed but I didn't really have a summer (baby, appendicitis...) so I guess I'm not ready!!
Audrey loved it however!!!
I took the girls to Yo Gabba Gabba Live in SLC. It was actually a lot of fun! Audrey couldn't believe it was real, she was in Heaven! It seems crazy, you get used to it!
Big Boy Tyce is eating food now and LOVES Sweet Potatoes and Carrots. Well actually he loves it all! I wish he was sleeping better and we would be on our way!!!!
Audrey really has a hard time taking pictures! I don't know what it is! She is just silly!

Tyce 5 months old!

so cute! LOVE him!!!!
Kate is 6 is such a good helper and reader! she loves school! so pretty!
my crew! Audrey loves TyTy!!!!

Halloween 2011

For Halloween, I was a Mom in a new Suburban... and the wife of the BEST HUSBAND EVER! not just because of this, but pretty close! He also takes Tyce on the weekends ;)
Conner was not too creative this year, and regretted it later! He wore his air-soft gear! I did a big "I told you so" after school when he got in the car and wished he was 30 different things! there's always next year!
Kate was a Bee! this was her best picture, she was in too big of a hurry to cooperate! and I forgot the camera for the family party! doesn't she look 14 here? I was annoying her?!?! when did this happen??
Audrey was a Strawberry and so stinkin' cute!
Evan was a broncos fan/gangster/ I really can't place it! by the end of the night he threw on his helmet and was just a football player. PS: we bought the Tebow jersey before the horrible game on Sunday...
Tyce was the cutest Tiger ever! He hated the costume, but we at least got one shot! He is officially on his 3rd ear infection :( he is looking at tubes soon, and I hope I am looking at some sleep soon! it was a great Halloween and the snow didn't hit until today, so it was wonderful! I love that its over! Is that bad? it is just so much work getting 5 kids ready for 5 parties! onto the holidays!!! Tyce's illnesses made it hard for me to go get costumes for Derek and I. We took the year off. Next years are going to rule!!!

Conner is 11!

Ready for the Air soft battle with all his good friends!

Conner's birthday gear!


Snickers ice Cream Cake

Tyce is 4months old!

We went to the Zoo again, Derek got the season passes this year (the year when half of the Zoo is closed for re-model...) So we took the kids while the weather was still nice! Tyce is getting so big! I thought I took some good pictures of him! he is already rolling to his side and reaching for things! he has had a horrible ear infection too :( TIME FLIES!

Me and Tyce on the train
My Boys!

Tyce loves his big sister!
No binky for him, he prefers his hands!!

Payson Canyon Fall Colors

We love living in Payson and our canyon is a lot of why! It was too pretty not to see this weekend! We drove the Nebo loop and were in awe the entire time at the colors! Everyone had fun, and I loved the quiet peaceful drive (shockingly, w/ 5 kids!) Our neighborhood sits at the entrance to the canyon. It is literally 2 minutes until the first camp ground. It is a lot of fun!
the kids!
Evan 9. He is my best bud lately, and grown-up a ton. He's a lot easier!
Evan looking for Bears! There were a ton up Payson Canyon this year around campgrounds etc...
My boys love to play catch! they both start football this week! Conner is on 2 teams and Evan one. Hopefully we are injury free! Are we shocked they both play Center?!?!
this was out of order, but I wanted to remember Conner and his friends this year! They all dress up like this and play air-soft wars out at their grandpas farms, or the canyon... where ever! This and football is all they do! this was him ready for McKays birthday party!
Tyce (aka T-Bone, Dubby, Ty-Ty) almost 4 months! so cute and wonderful! I love, love, love him!!!! PS... he HATES the car!!!!
