Our sweet little buddy turned 8 this year.  I am so prod of him and who he is turning out to be.  Tyson is such a sweet little boy.  I always say he is my tender heart.  He does not like to see peoples feelings getting hurt and he really tries to include everyone when he plays. 
  Tyson is such a deep little thinker.  I love to hear the questions he comes up with.  You can always tell he is thinking about life and how things work.  Ty loves to play x-box and lately has had so much fun beating Lego batman 2.  He also loves riding his bike, or just running CRAZY and wrestling  with his friends (usually this ends with someone in tears.)  Tyson just went golfing with his dad and they had such a great time.  He loves to spend time with Ryan no matter what they do.  I'm so glad he's a part of this family.  Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

Raging Waters aka seven peaks.

 This summer we got the pass of all passes.  it has been so fun to take the kids to Raging waters.  They have loved being able to go with their friends and cousins.  I was very motivated at the first of summer so we went a lot more.  Now Patty Pregnancy is kicking my butt and I have lost all motivation to do anything.  Hopefully we can get at least a few more visits in before school starts. 

Crazy summer.

 Well the start of our summer was a pretty crazy one.  We sold our house within a week of listing it so the month  of June was spent packing, going to baseball games and me being pregnant and exhausted. I will not divulge how much money we spent this month on eating out but it wasn't pretty.

Davis made a new buddy at the baseball games and Loved to go.  This is his second cousin  Sophi. They have so much fun together.

Here is cute Ty playing catcher and up to bat.  It was so fun to watch him improve this year.  and sure loved to play.

 Here is Bailee at her spring recital.  It has been so fun watching her improve with her Gymnastics.  she is getting so good.  I love watching her push herself. 

 Here is Ba. at her class program and getting her 3rd grade awards.  She got the class award for being the "helping hands"  I thought was cute because she loves to be a helper and help be in charge. 

 I'm so sad I don't have any still shots of Tysons program I'v only got video.  but he did a great job.  I wanted to tell a cute story that is so Tyson.   Ryan told Ty that if he yelled "go knights!!!!"  after his speaking part in the program, then he would buy him an x box game.  well Tyson wanted a game sooo bad but I was sure he wouldn't do it because Tyson doesn't like to break rules. 
   when his speaking part came around he totally yelled "go knights."  I was so surprised that he dared.  afterwards I went to his class and his teacher told me he asked her permission before hand to yell.  so funny I knew  he wasn't a rule breaker. 



Here is Davis on his last day of preschool.  he sure loved his teachers.  I think he bonded with them more than any student.  he is so funny that way.  He's best friends and a big flirt with every adult in town.  He's sure going to miss these sweet teachers.

This year for spring break we took the kids to Arches and Goblin Valley.  We all had such a good time!!!! it was so fun to take the kids somewhere where I have such good childhood memories and to see them love it as much as I did.  We started out at arches where we did some pretty cool hikes  I was so surprised how well the kids did. 

 I LOVE these pictures.  I have a picture of me at this exact spot when I was about 6 years old and it hasn't changed at all.  I totally remember running down this sand hill and loving it.

 This hike to Delicate arch was so cool and I was so proud of the kids I honestly didn't hear them whine or complain at all which really surprised me.  Davis probably didn't complain  because Ryan carried him on his shoulders the whole way, It made me laugh because he did tell me how tired he was at the top.  

                                                  I love this pic of my mom and dad.

 I feel like this picture needs an inspirational church caption on it but I can't think of one.  

on day 2 we went to Goblin Valley.  I think this was the kids favorite part of everything.  this place is as good as any theme park.  I love that you can let them run and climb on anything and they don't have to be told no.  

 All in all it was an awesome trip.  I think we for sure need to go again next year!
