City of the Rocks

The second weekend in November we took a trip with my Brother, Ben, and his wife Andrea and the boys, as well as our friend Brenda and Zach to City of the Rocks!! We had so much fun, it turned out to be a beautiful day. We set up a Zip line and rock climbed as well. Wyatt had so much fun on the zip line and playing with the cousins... this will have to be done again! Thanks Ben for bringing all of the gear and expertise!

Mommy Milestones....

I had to write about some of my "Mommy Milestones"!! The boys are getting so big, so fast! Luke has 2 teeth on the bottom and eats everything in sight! He has been crawling since September, and now he is holding on to things and walking along them, it seems like he is learning faster than Wyatt, but maybe he has some more encouragement because he wants to be like Big Brother!
Wyatt is getting smarter everyday as well! It is fun to hear all of the things he says and wonder where he got it from! He is still obsessed with planes and reminds us of it everyday! He has been potty trained since Halloween, and he wakes up 19 out of 20 days dry! This has been one of the best milestones in my opinion!!

The 2 of them interact so well also, Wyatt can make Luke laugh and giggle like no one else and they love to with be each other! Best Buds!!!

Halloween...We're off to see the Wizard!!

What a wonderful Halloween! We went to Aunt Trish's house for her annual Halloween party! We went as Dorthy, The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and The Lion! Lots of fun!
We even got to go out in her neighborhood, and Wyatt realized how fun this thing is! We got back to the party, and he sat down in the middle of the room and started on the candy! So much for dinner!

Luke's Blessing

Luke was blessed by Tim on the 25th of October at our home, this is Nana and Luke minutes before the blessing.... so much excitement!
Older Cousin, Kadin, and Luke!

Grandpa, and Luke!

Of course the camera died as we were taking family pictures, so I don't have any with mom and dad, and Wyatt!! But the blessing was beautiful, Tim did a wonderful job!

Scarecrow Festival

We went to the Scarecrow festival a couple weekends ago with our friends Brenda, Zack, and Mylee! Wyatt and Mylee got their faces painted, Wyatt got a elmo...
And Mylee became a kitty!

Tim also got to take Wyatt on a go-cart ride!! Lots of fun and games, as well as the big blow up toys that Wyatt, and Tim couldn't get enough of!

The Wedding!!

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Crookston!
Catalyn and Stephen were married in the Salt Lake Temple on the 11th of November! It turned out to be a beautiful day, and then the reception was at the DATC in Kaysville. Catalyn looked gorgeous!! This is Luke in his Tux, he looked cute as well!

The cake was soooo... pretty!

And of course there was lots of fun!

Crazy Busy!!??!!

Well, it's been a while since I have had time to get on and say anything! Life has gotten way to BUSY and we keep finding things to make it even busier!?
Tim has decided that he loves to can many different kinds of foods! In the past 3 weeks we have canned: salsa, marinara, tomatoes, relish, strawberry jam, peach jam, jalapeno jelly, spicy cauliflower, 3 different kinds of grape juice, pears, and pear sauce, and we have a case of apples waiting to be made into pie filling, and apple sauce! We are enjoying doing it though, and we are getting some food storage out of it!

2 weeks ago I started my new job at The Oakley School! I work from 9:45 pm to 7:00 am Friday through Sunday! It is actually really nice, I get to drink as much Coke as I want, and I have 9 hours to my self to do whatever I want to do! I have knit 2 hats already, and tomorrow I am going to start work on my Halloween costume! I think it is kind of nice to get paid for walking around with a flashlight every 30 minutes, and then having the rest of the time to my self! And I am doing really good at coming home and sleeping for 3 hours and then going on with normal life! I hope it lasts!

This week has been especially busy because Catalyn, Tim's little sister, is getting married on Saturday! Last night we got to go to the Bountiful Temple with her and it was very nice! It's hard to get out to the temple much lately with the boys and no time, but when we do get to go it is that much better! Now we are looking forward to the dinner on Friday and the wedding on Saturday at the Salt Lake Temple! I get to dress up all fancy, and I even got some new shoes to go with the dress!!
As for the boys, they are doing well! Wyatt is slowly getting the idea of the toilet, and new words come out of him daily! But he is out growing nap time, except when he is just so tired he falls asleep were he is playing, that is cute!

Luke started to sit on his own about a month ago, and then last Saturday during General Conference he decided to start crawling! He still thinks that big brother can do no wrong, and is the funniest person alive! And Wyatt tells him often that he loves him, with a big hug and kiss!This is Wyatt with his fun glasses he got from the doctor at Luke's 6 month visit! He loves to go to the doctor, because of all the fun things she has, and of course the sucker you get on the way out!

Luke is also LOVING food! I have yet to find one thing that he will not devour!! He got his first strawberry the other day at a wedding reception and he fell in love! Taking after Big Brother!

So that has been our life for the past few weeks and hopefully it slows down a little in the near future!
