Let's Go Fly a Kite!

A couple of weeks ago there was a perfect day for flying kites. It was not too windy and sunny....perfect. Theron hurried home from work and grabbed Ty and and the kite and headed over to the park right by our house. I couldn't tell who was more excited, Theron or Ty. He is just like a big kid sometimes. Jonathan and I joined later and I got to take a turn. There is something so soothing and relaxing about flying a kite. I love the picture of Ty all tangled up in the kite string.

Family Pictures Dec. 2008

Thanks Aunt Elyse for your patience with us!

Amy's Wedding

Amy and Davey's wedding was beautiful. Everything looked great and there was so much attention to detail. I loved Amy's dress-it was unique and looked gorgeous. It turned out to be a very fun day with the trolley and photo booth. Great ideas! Timothy and Ty got a little tired on the trolley ride and started sucking their thumbs. It's great to have someone else have the same habit! Ty wants to know when he will get married in the temple with Eleanor. Sorry buddy-she's your cousin...

Historic Occasion

Lisa and I grinning after the results!
Angela and Lisa couldn't contain their happiness!
Aunt Sara with Ty down in the hotel lobby-there were a ton of people there!

Ty got to party down at the Wyndham hotel in Phoenix with all of the Obama supporters. We had a fun night hanging out in the hotel room with Sara and Dick, Ryan and Bethany, Lisa and Angela who drove down from Taylor for the fun!
I love the story of how my dad woke up Dessie and Morgan when they were small children so they could see the man landing on the moon. I wanted the same for Ty. I wanted him to see the first time our country elected our first African American President! Even though all night long he kept saying, "I want McCain to win!" He had a blast in the hotel and we will let him be a conservative Republican if that is what he wants!
It was a historic event for our country!

Spider Baby!

I had to post these pics of Jonathan in his spider costume. He was almost too big for it! I still can't tell what color his eyes will be-maybe a hazel or green or they might turn completely brown. I love brown eyes so I don't care but it would be cute with his dark hair if they were hazel.

Halloween 2008

Spider baby-he wasn't crazy about the hat but I made him keep it on!
Jonathan with Bethany as a lovely maiden.
Ty really wanted to be a policeman with a gun this year but by the time I got to the party store the police officer costumes were sold out. Bummer. He decided that he would be a fireman with an ax instead-only problem was that the costume didn't come with an ax. All they had was a bloody ax that I bought! He loved it! I just couldn't handle my three year old running around with a bloody ax so I ordered the one in the picture online and it got here just in time for Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

My cousin Chelsea posted the cutest pictures of past Halloweens and it made me want to find some of ours. The first one is of my dad and Ty last Halloween. I would have never thought that he wouldn't be around for this Halloween. I should have taken a ton more pictures! He is holding his megaphone which he loved to use to be annoying. He loved that megaphone! My dad wasn't one to dress up or really get into Halloween but he always enjoyed a good 'dinner in a pumpkin.'
The other pictures are of Halloweens past. Daniel as the 'Hulk' and Angela as a princess-which reminds us all of Lily. The best is Morgan's mummy costume. Just strips of an old sheet? And I am not quite sure what Dessie is but I think some sort of HillBilly? I am the cute little girl with the bottle. Mom-I should of been off the bottle! JK Fun memories. I need to find some more Halloween pictures!
