Thanksgiving 2012

Jason & Briana

Main house, so fun for everyone

Me and the Old Man

Bunk Beds for Big Boys

Jason's sisters and Dad L-R: Emily, David, Elizabeth (w. Wyatt)

 

Ranch in Birdseye. Fun was had by all. And chicken herding.

Wyatt stayed on the bunkbeds w/ the big kids and thought that

was great! Briana's horse tried to run off w/ her. We stayed 2 nights.

The weather and the views were so beautiful.

Cinnamon Baby

I admit I picked up this book at the library more for me than for Wyatt. I read it to him even though he protested. But tonight, he requested it again and so, one small victory for Mom!
Wyatt has been playing soccer twice a week and has loved it. Tomorrow is his last game though, and preschool ends May 15th, so I'm scrambling to find something else for him to do.
Briana has her own apartment now and a new job! This is so great.
Jason is currently in Oklahoma for training. Yesterday was his birthday and we didn't have a chance to talk, but we'll make it up on his next visit home. I hope!
Me, just enjoying the beautiful weather and taking Wyatt and the dogs out as much as I can. Tomorrow I'm going to post the North Dakota trip.

Some recent photos:

Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Wall's

Wyatt and cousin Amelia.

Cousin James helping Wyatt hunt for eggs.

Look at these faces!

I will always, always remember and love them at this age, so much. This is Wyatt with my brother's girls, Avery and June doing an Easter egg hunt in our front yard. Avery is 4, Wyatt is 3, and June is almost 2.

Christmas 2009

It wouldn't let me fix the red eye!

Halloween

I figured it was the last year I could get away with a cutesy outfit.

This has been the year of the dogs, so it was only fitting he was one too!

Love the tail.

Briana, Wyatt and Trace.

Wyatt didn't want to get into his costume, I think it wasn't manly enough or something, but once he did start trick or treating on our street he had a great time!

Birthday

So I have become such a slacker with having someone take group photos of us! Wyatt playing with my birthday balloons is really the only pictures I have- I opened some gifts and cards and later we went to dinner with my Mom, where once again I forgot to take pics.

Wyatt thinks he can play on the counter top- he found his pacifier and then put the pot on his head.

Easter Slideshow

Easter

The day before Easter we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Wall's. The weather was bad so we ended up doing it indoors.

For Easter dinner we went to Chris and Crystal's. Mom brought the ham, asparagus and chocolate eclair cake. I brought 2 potato casseroles. It was so good!

Here's to 2009

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
-Edgar A. Guest

For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. - T.S. Eliot

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way. -Minnie L. Haskins

Christmas Day

I enjoyed a pear and an apple at Grandma Wall's. A lot.

Me & Bri

Christmas Morning

Kicked back watching Mom and Sis play Wii.

I love my new car!

Opening my presents...

Gus REALLY loves his yearly Christmas Stocking!

Waiting patiently for the opening to begin... Briana would not allow me to take any photos of her in the morning so that's why she is missing in these...

Thanksgiving

Playing ball in the church gym. The family has gotten so big we had Thanksgiving at a church near Jason's parents home.

Aunt Marie (Jason's sister) playing games with the cousins.

Halloween movies

Best Halloween movies: Sweeney Todd, Young Frankenstein, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rosemary's Baby, and Wait Until Dark. Any other suggestions? Please comment.

4th of July

Jason's family came to our backyard and the kids had a good time in the hot tub. Later we lit fireworks on the street.
