Playing in the leaves

 Playing in the leaves in our backyard.  We only have one tree that gives off leaves  but we had lots of fun for our little pile of leaves.  I sure miss Mootzie's backyard with her big hill and tons and tons of leaves to jump in.

Sacramento, California September 2013

 My mom treated us to a trip to California for our birthdays and for fun!  We had such a great time!  We stayed at Bobby and Sara's house 2 nights and in Monterrey for 2 nights.  We had such a great time with everyone, the kids played great together and so did the adults!  LOL.

 Livy and Tyson's first time Flying, they got wings and Liv was pretty excited about it!

 Duncan and Liv had so much fun together, we miss having them close to be buddies with.

 Tyson and Charlie did great too, unfortunately Tyson and I had  pretty bad colds for a few of the days, but other than that, we were in great spirits!

 Here we are at Funderland, a small amusement park close to where Bob and Sara live, perfect for the kids, about 10 rides they could just jump on and off of bc it wasn't busy and it was a beautiful day! 

 Tyson even had fun on the rides!

 Sara and I did not feel to good after the tea cups...Fun ride if you only ride it once.

 Daddy and Tyson both enjoyed this ride!

 So did Livy and Duncan, they just kept getting right back on after they got off.

 This one was really fast and fun, not as fast at the Merry Go Round, that might have been the fasted one we've ever been on, everyone after this one will be a let down.

 On our way to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium!  The largest Aquarium in the U.S.   Really amazing, we saw jelly fish and sharks and manna rays, penguins and giant fish and so much more.

 We got a great view!

 Playing in the kids play place!  Something for everyone to do.

 Here we are at Dennis the Menace Park, So great!  It was huge and had everything a kid could want...sand, slides everywhere, things to spin on, several different jungle jims, bridges and lots of space to run around

 Liv liked this one.

 Here we are celebrating my birthday and Sara's and Charlies'.  Bob and Sara made a great steak dinner and they ordered a delicious cake from their neighbor.  Thanks guys for making this a great day!

 We also spent my birthday at the beach for a while, the water was freezing, but the air was nice!  We brought a great picnic lunch, played a little frisbee and played in the sand.

Thanks mom for such a fun trip!  We had a great time with you and Bob and Sara's family, we miss them and it was great to have some quality time together!

 Olivia and Luella taking swim lessons at Crestwood Park Summer 2013.  Tyson loves his Honey!

 White level graduation!  We are number 1!!!!

 So happy to be eating suckers!

 Hangin' at Honey's house after swim lessons

 Tyson loves Livy's princess chair, today was the day we decided that we had to buy Tyson a chair like this for Tyson's birthday.

 Fun afternoon at the Mall, riding the carousel with Honey, having lunch with mom and Tyson and enjoying all the other little rides too.

 Snuggling with mom and making faces.

 Olivia loves to make up and sing her own songs.  Today her microphone of choice was the bathroom toilet paper rod.  She sung the same song for about 15 minutes straight, it was wonderful!!!!

 Getting ready for Tyson's first birthday party.  Monster themed.  Livy was so proud to help mommy with the cake.

 All the kids after making our monster puppets at Tyson party.  They had so much fun crafting.

 Tyson likes his cake! 

 Enjoying his brand new Mickey chair for his birthday.  Love these kids, they are so adorable in their little chairs and jams.

 Testing out his new bat mobile car from Honey!  Thanks!

 Draper days, Liv got to ride a pony and she couldn't have been cuter as she parade waved to us as she went by,  Tyson like the horses he was making all kinds of excited noises when we watched Liv.

 Bear Lake View.

 First Day of Preschool!  Holy cow, I can't believe my little girl is going to preschool!!! 

 Silly kids!

 Liv wanted to sit in Tyson's high chair and Tyson wanted to go walking...Liv didn't like that, and she didn't want her picture taken either, can you tell?

 This poor girl is so sick, she just got a really bad bug that was going around..  High ever and runny nose but that's all so when she had some medicine she seemed great but when it wore off she was awnry and so exhausted.  I think this day she took like 3 naps...Crazy!

 Tyson likes chicken!! And scrunching his nose!  I love him!

Sunset at 1000th east and 11400th south one random summer night.  Gorgeous.  We also had a great lightning and thunder storm later this week and it was incredible.   Most exciting storm I've ever watched!

 Sandy Library, a triceratops skull that was actually found in Utah over on the West mountain.  Cool

 One of Liv's Preschool field trips to the fire station.  They had a really cool little stage and program with songs and puppets and a car that talked and moved.  Whitney volunteered to help us sing the stop drop and roll song.

 Cool Fire Trucks!!!

 Liv is now an official junior fire fighter.  Hat, sticker and all.

 I love this picture!!!

 Liv, Jaden and Luella, singing songs and performing for us at second Sunday dinner at Cob and Tiff's house.  Kisses for a great performance!

Tyson is going to be Pascal from Tangled. He likes his costume!

 F.H.E. Activity:  Making ghosts and plate pumpkins.  Liv loves to do crafts and Tyson likes so stick stuff in his mouth, we all win!

 See I told you, he likes to stick stuff in his mouth!

 So Cute!

 Rainy day activity, playing with water beads.

 Tyson was eating a yogert covered pretzel and I guess thought he should wipe it on his face, I don't think he thought it was a good idea!

 Liv's first dance class!  So excited she is in dance, I love those cute little outfits and I love that she is excited about something that I have loved so much! 

 Happy boy!

 Playing at the dinosaur park at City Creek.  Having a play date with mommy and her friends.
