Josh and Lleyton at the parade on the 4th.
Josh could not believe I was taking a picture of Lleyton on the potty. On the other hand Lleyton didn't seem to mind.
Lleyton strangely loves to get his hair cut. If he's being naughty it can be used as a bribe.
Cousin time! I wish I had gotten more pics of them together. This is Jadyn, Codan, and Lleyton in the tub. They were having so much fun until my sis Jess got the camera out. For some reason Lleyton would get extremely mad when we'd try to take pictures.
Trying to spend some quality time with the Lleyton before the baby came at Thanksgiving Point's petting zoo.
Lleyton with the Zebra at the Bean Museum in Provo. We went with Jess, Anna, my Mom, and the kiddos.
Daddy, Lleyton, and Rhyder at the hospital.
So sweet.
A proud big brother.
Lleyton cannot wait to share a room with Rhyder. He always wants us to put him in the crib with him.
Can't he stay little forever? So sad, they grow up too fast.
My sweet funny boy is two! I cannot believe it, it seems like yesterday I was just bringing him home. He is such a good brother and son. He is always making us laugh. He is so smart and is constantly surprising us. We are so proud and honored to have him in our home.
Opening some of his presents. His favorite is the bike he got. I need to get a picture of him on it. Everytime we go to get in the car he runs and trys to get on his bike.
My little Rhyder before he went completely bald. He has lost most of his hair and is seriously bald.
My funny boy. Don't you love the bandaid and glasses. He had a mesquito he couldn't stop itching so he wanted me to put a band-aid on it.
My little cuties!
So outnumbered
I have been horrible at keeping up on my blog. I'm going to blame it on the fact we have had a lot going on.
For those of you who don't know, Josh no longer works for The Sports Authority. This was unexpected but we are happy it happened anyway. In June he quit working there and this August he started working as a sales rep for Veracity Communications. We are really excited about this change and so far we think it has been a good one.
July was very busy, July 4th was a fun Holiday we went to the parade and then to a bbq later with my family and then did pizza and fireworks with Josh's Mom that night. July 7th was our anniversary, July 12th was Josh's birthday, July 18th my sister Jess and her family came to visit (This was also her Birthday and Josh's Mom's Birthday), July 31st our little Rhyder arrived, August 7th was my little sister Brooke's wedding, and finally August 10th was Lleyton's Birthday and my Dad's Birthday.
Most of these days were very important all because Josh came into my life. Words can't describe how the one decision I made to marry him has made me so happy. He is such a great Father and husband. It is so true when they say that 90% of your happiness or misery in life will be based on the person you marry. In our situation he has made my life so full of joy I am happy to say.
It would be hard to go into detail and describe all of the events above but here are some pictures and commentation to help.
I am going to try much harder to document all of the important events and everyday funny moments and what not.
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.
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.
