Family Picture Time

So we just took our family pics. Lleyton did really well, which was nice, you never know how a two year old is going to act. The family pics though ... I think I should've waited to lose more weight. Oh well.

October Memories!

Josh and I love taking late night walks. It gives a chance to talk and if the kids are tired enough they fall asleep. It makes me melt when I look at my kids, especially when they are asleep. There is something about a sleeping child that is so precious and innocent.

Like I said above so precious!



This shows Lleyton's little personality to a tee. He is always turning on the charm and being a goof. I just love him!

So I know the pic above is blurry, but I can't stand how cute it is. Josh and Lleyton have such an amazing relationship, they adore each other and I hope they're always really close.


Typical two year old moment. Lleyton decided to dump all of his toys out and dump all of his animal crackers in.


Josh had to go out of town again this month and Lleyton struggles when he does. I tried keeping his mind off of it but its a little difficult with a newborn so I let him take all of his sticker stuff and put it on my face while I nursed the baby. Yea I know I look like a moron, but look how happy it made the kid :)


Talk about regression. Sometimes Lleyton likes to get out his old binkies and pretend he's a baby.


I adore this baby. He is always so happy and cuddly. He babbles all the time and loves it when people talk to him.

Nicknames for Rhyder: Our little bulldog, Turtle, Tank, Budha, Ry, Ry ry, buddy, chunky monkey, and Josh sometimes calls him an oompa loompa, which I HATE, they are freaky and my son is way too cute to be called that. Look at those cheeks they are so yummy!


Lleyton with his pumpkin we let him color on.


Rhyder's pumpkin, not that he has any idea look at his face.


Cruel and unusual punishment. Lleyton wanted to put these on, and I wouldn't let him take them off until I got a pic cause he looked so funny. Dude if he had a helmet it would've been so much better.


Lleyton loves getting in my closet and putting on my shoes. He doesn't always get the right matches though. They are so big on him, it looks like he has skis on.

Rhyder and I at the Trunk or Treat on the 30th.

Josh and Lleyton at the Trunk or Treat. Lleyton did really well. It was so fun and cute.


Ry that night after. He was so cute I had to take one more picture.

Lleyton on the way to Josh's Mom's Trunk or Treat. Josh called him our Cheeto Tiger because of the sunglasses.

Grandma Becky and Lleyton!

Our little family!


I love this picture of Rhyder. Becky was talking to him. He totally lights up when people talk to him.

Nana and Papa are holding Lleyton and Ry.
After the Trunk or Treat we went over to my parents for Chili and Scones and more Trunk or Treating. It was so funny when Josh and I were out with him going to houses. One of the houses had these things that popped out on there porch and it totally scared Lleyton. When the lady answered the door he was crying and she felt so bad. She opened the lid to try and show them they weren't real. When he told him to say thank you, he said thank you through heaves of sobs it was so funny and sad at the same time. Good times though! Thanks to everyone making it such a fun Halloween.

My boys goofing off

What the!? Is what I say to the picture above. I was switching out Lleyton and Ry's clothes to their fall/winter stuff and Lleyton found this in one of the boxes. My sister gave me a few girl things in case I ever have a girl. Lleyton absolutely had to put it on. He was acting so goofy so I decided to take a pic. When I told him to say cheese for some reason he decided he would lift his shirt too. What a funny kid.
Lleyton found a marker can you tell?
He kept saying "pretty"! Thank goodness for washable markers and that it was in a place concealable instead of his face :)

How can you not love that face. As long as he has his chapstick he's usually pretty happy.

Yes those are potty training underwear on his head. I decided he might be ready for potty training but I'm not quite yet. I don't want him to regress and honestly I don't have the time with a newborn who wants to eat constantly. He likes to play with all the stuff though.

He is always putting on any sunglasses he can find even if he has to hold them on his face.


This little guy is the happiest, sweetest, chubby baby. He is only two months but looks and is quite a bit bigger. He brings so much happiness. I just love him.

This is Lleyton at Pirate Island. Pretty cool place I thought. I like it a lot better than chuck e cheese.


Lleyton and I, again at Pirate Island.

This is what I found when I came to get Lleyton after nap. He had knocked his lamp over somehow and broken it and thrown all of his bedding out and was trying to escape. I am scared to switch him to a big boy bed.


Man, I love it when they fall asleep on your chest.

This is pretty funny below of Josh and Lleyton, at least the beginning. Don't mind the crazy camera girl.

Ry's Blessing and random stuff

Here is my little chubby munchkin on his blessing day. His hobbies are eating, eating, pooping, and sleeping. But mostly eating he is already 15 lbs! He likes to keep me up at night but makes up for it with cute smiles and of course those kissable chubby cheeks :)

Notice something in common- Rhyder and I are both quite the chunky monkeys. These last 30 lbs don't look like they are going anywhere too fast. This was also Rhyder's blessing day. I think the picture just about says it all. Thank you for everyone who came and squeezed into our house last minute! It meant a lot to us.


Josh and Lleyton at the Aquarium in Sandy. We went on Labor day, it was pretty crowded and Lleyton was in a mood I tell ya. Pretty cool ... probably just the wrong day. I had to sneak pics.


Lleyton petting the sting ray can you see it?

Bath time with budha, and skinny. Rhyder was not so sure about the water.

Remember when you used to make pilgrim hats in school?? What a funny boy.

My little guy. I feel so blessed to have my two kiddos. I think there is even more love and happiness since this sweet boy came in our lives. It is a challenge but so fun. everyday is something funny and new honestly. Today I found dirt in Lleyton's beach buckets. I couldn't figure out where it kept coming from everytime I rinsed them more would appear. He decided the aloe plant would be great fun to collect dirt from. I tell you there is never a dull moment with a two year old and newborn.
