A Visit to Grandma and Grandpa's

On Labor Day, we were able to go to Grandpa and Grandma Lyman's house for a short visit. We were excited to be able to be there for the blessing of Jeremy and Shelly's little baby girl Sadie. (who, by the way, is adorable)

The kids loved hanging out in their pretty garden.

They helped Grandma shuck corn for dinner.

Shucking corn is a serious job for Audrey. :)

All of the Lyman cousins together = so much fun!

My little Backyardigans.

The kids are loving that we have a yard again. They spend most of their day riding bikes, kicking balls, and digging in the dirt (and right now we have a lot to dig in). I am all for outdoor exploration and getting dirty. I love every minute that we get to all be together in the beautiful outdoors.

A Day in the Life of Audrey Lyman

I took these pics at different times but it pretty much shows how Audrey spends her day.

Wake up, cause trouble... I couldn't take pictures of her doing this because I am usually trying to stop her from destroying something around the house.

Check out a few magazines.

She LOVES magazines. She has a stack of magazines that she looks through everyday and she would rather do that than play with toys for sure.


Eat...and eat and eat and eat and make a huge mess while in the process. :)


Play outside with Jaiden.



Finish the day gazing out the window. When she can't be outside, she still likes to see what's going on out there.

Oh what a life :)

Improvement

OK, it is official. I am a blog slacker and need to improve my blogging input. Future blog posts will be entertaining and full of excitement and more frequent so you better come look at our blog a little more from here on out. :)

No Funner Time than Snow Time

I love little bundled up children. They are so squishy and huggable. I didn't get any pictures of the kids having fun in the snow because I had to hold Audrey most of the time.

Thanksgiving

We had a fun time hanging out with the Lyman family for Thanksgiving. Of course I forgot to get my camera out until the last night we were there but I did get some cute pictures of Jaiden with the family.

1 YEAR OLD!!!!

Happy Birthday to our little one year old. Audrey celebrated her first birthday on Nov. 9th. She had a blast and soaked up every ounce of attention that was given to her that night.

Audrey figured that she shouldn't stick her hands into the cake so she just stuck her mouth in instead.

Audrey sure knows how to party!

Pumpkin Picking

Audrey wants to eat her pumpkin. :)

Party Time!!!!

Here are some pictures from Jaiden's 4th Birthday. He had so much fun with his cousin Emily, and with his friends from the apartment complex across from us.

We gave him a new bike. Wasn't that excited about it that morning when he saw it but now that it has training wheels on it he sure has a good time cruising around on it.

We had a toy story theme. My pitiful decorations for his party. ha ha I had much better decorations planned but my time ran out.

I also did my cupcakes at the last minute so they were a little on the sloppy side.

The kids had to put Mr. Potato Head back together.

Ha, ha look at those wimpy arms I drew for Mr. Potato Head. So sad.

Audrey helped unwrap the presents with her teeth. :)

Miniature Golf

We took Jaiden miniature golfing the weekend before his birthday. He has always wanted to go miniature golfing because that's what Curious George does apparently.

Audrey loved watching her big brother.

First Day of Preschool

Here is my handsome Jaiden boy all ready for school. He started preschool at the end of September. He was so excited.

Returning to the car with his teacher after the first day.
(I accidentally cut off his teacher's head)

I can't believe how fast Jaiden is growing up.

Oquirrh Lake- A Day with the Ducks

We had a lot of fun at the lake a couple of weeks ago. I love that we live 5 minutes away from this beautiful lake.

Hanging out with the ducks.

A perfect day with the family.

Random Pics of Audrey

Audrey is a crawling maniac!

And now she is working on the walking part. (Mommy is scared)

She loves being in big boxes.

She is such a sweetie.
