Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We had a wonderful dinner and family party at my parents for family night. We had a program, played bells, did a gift exchange between the nieces and nephews, etc. We also had a great dinner and get together with Doug's family on Christmas Eve. We listened to stories read by the kids, had a great meal, played a card game, exchanged gifts between families, etc. When we got home on Christmas Eve we all opened pajama's to wear for the next day. Wyatt loved his Mickey mouse pj's. He also enjoyed the pj's that grammy gave him. Santa came to visit and bring present's to Wyatt. Wyatt had a great time opening his gifts and stocking. He wanted to see what was in all of our stockings. He opened about 3 gifts and was done for a while. It took us about 4 hours total to get through everything. He had fun playing with all of his new toys. He got playdough, a remote control train, wooden blocks and lego blocks, books, cars, trucks, a cool cars package that came with magnets, book, crayons and coloring book, etc. We got ourselves a Wii and a Wii Fit plus. We have been having fun with that. We had a great time with family and a wonderful Christmas!!

Snowmen!!

Today Wyatt and I made snowmen in the front yard. Wyatt was so excited about the snowmen. He said that we made the biggest snowmen in the world. He was watching a show called Caillou today and they were talking about snowmen so he wanted to make one too. Our snow was pretty crunchy so we took big chunks of snow and piled them on top of each other to make our snowmen. Wyatt had a lot of fun and did a great job of helping me carry the snow. He also helped pile the snow on top of each other. He also decided to eat the snow and thought it tasted great. This was the first time that he has really been able to play in the snow. Guess I need to go get him some snow boots and real gloves!!

Wyatt & Santa!!

Wyatt got to see and sit on Santa's lap at our ward Christmas party. Wyatt was disappointed because santa didn't give him a candycane so we had Santa "my parents" send him a candycane in the mail. He was so excited when it came. It made him so happy. Wyatt also saw santa go by on top of a firetruck. He gets so excited whenever he see's or hears about Santa. It is so great that he is getting into Christmas.

Decorating the Christmas Tree!!

Wyatt helped us decorate the Christmas tree this year. He had so much fun putting the ornaments on the tree. He has taken a few off and moved them around a few times. He always asks me to turn on the lights each morning. He did a great job helping us out. He has also helped me wrap presents this year and put presents under the tree. It is great to see him get into the Christmas spirit. I am glad that he can help me out so much.

Fishing Trip!!

Doug took Wyatt fishing for the first time with his dad a few weeks ago up at Strawberry. They all had such a great time!! Doug's dad was the only one who caught a fish. They also got the boat out of the water and cleaned. Wyatt did a great job out on the water. He had a great time in the boat. Here are a few photos of their trip.

Halloween!!

We had a fun Halloween this year. We decorated pumpkin shaped sugar cookies earlier in the week, we went swimming Halloween morning, my parents came by to visit and brought Wyatt some great snacks and fun toys, we went to see Doug's parents and stopped by my sister's and brother-in-laws houses, we carved pumpkins, Wyatt saw his friend Justin, I took Wyatt trick or treating around the neighborhood and Doug handed out candy to trick or treators. Wyatt liked to help out at the door when trick or treators rang the door bell. It was a fun holiday.

Wyatt's First Time Frosting & Decorating Cookies!!

Today I decided to make some sugar cookies. I let Wyatt help us decorate a couple. He had a great time putting on the frosting, then he covered all of the cookies that he had put frosting on with as many candy corns, chocolate sprinkles and regular sprinkles as he could. Needless to say his cookies were covered. He wasn't interested in eating them afterward. He just wanted some frosting and the treats that went on top. It was fun letting him help us out with a fun activity for halloween!!

Jenni and Baby Lynlee!!

Welcome to the world baby Lynlee!! Here are a few photos of my sister Jenni and her new little baby Lynlee. She is so cute and so small. She was born on October 19th (which is my moms birthday too!! Happy Birthday mom!!), at 4:24pm. She weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 18 inches long. She is really tiny and so cute. He has cute curly hair. She looks like her mom and her dad to me. So exciting!!

Our Hike in American Fork Canyon!!

On Saturday we went for a quick hike up American Fork Canyon. The leaves were very beautiful and starting to change colors. The dark red ones are my favorite. Wyatt did very well walking on the path. We all had a great time.

Wyatt's New Pets!!!

Over the weekend I took Wyatt to Cabella's to see the big fish swimming around. Then I took him to PetSmart and we got him a Betta fish and a dwarf frog that swims in the water too. He is so excited to have his new pets. Each morning he likes to get up and stand on a chair to watch the fish and frog swim around. He even helps to feed them and when I clean the bowl out he likes to watch the fish and frog hang out in a little tupperware. He is having so much fun with his pets. He is doing very well!!

Labor Day Fun!!

On Labor Day we went up to Park City. We were hoping to go on the Alpine Slides but it was a 1 1/2 hour wait just to get on the ski lift. So, we had a yummy lunch, took Wyatt on his first Merry Go Round ride, played miniature golf, and walked around. It was so great. Wyatt had fun on the Merry Go Round. He was a little affraid at first but after a minute or two he was having a blast. We would look at Doug as we passed by and Wyatt would just grin. We also had a great time playing miniature golf. Wyatt would help hit the ball, then he would go chase after it, pick it up and drop it in the hole. It was so cute and funny. It was nice to get out of the house for a while and to have a little bit of a get away.

Wyatt's First Boating Trip!!

A couple of weekends ago we went up to Strawberry to spend some time with Doug's family. It was really nice. All of the kids made their own hats and put on a hat parade. We took Wyatt on his first boat ride. He really liked it. He wanted to go faster and wanted to go on a longer ride. Doug's dad took us out on the boat for a fun ride around on the lake. It was really great. We had a good time.

More Splash Pad Photos!!

Here are a few more splash pad photos. Doug and another co-worker designed the splash pad. We love taking Wyatt to the splash pad. He loves playing in the water there. He especially likes the river. He likes to run through the water and splash the water that comes out of the rocks. One of the days that I had taken him to the splash pad he ran through all of the water around the edge of the splash pad. It was so funny because he would go running through the water that was squirting up through the ground which was face level for Wyatt so it would get him pretty wet. These photos are so cute. Our friend is a professional photographer and she took these photos. (She took our photos at our wedding.) She even got onto the ladder of a city fire truck and got an aireal view of the splash pad which looks really cool. Wyatt had unfortunately fallen this same day and got a big goose egg on his forehead but the pictures that our friend got are so cute of Wyatt. Her husband had also helped to get some cute photos too. We love them all. There are too many to choose from.
