Snow!!!!

Payton and Tia playing in the deep snow. It was hard to walk in.

Payton was trying to teach Landon how to make a snow angel. He told him to move his arms and his legs. The snow was really deep.

Tyler pushed Payton and Landon down the 1st hill. Payton was scared at 1st but then he began to like it a lot.

Payton and Landon going down the hill. Payton's face expression in this is priceless.


Payton and Landon at the bottom of the hill. It was a fun day!


Landon trying to board down the hill on the sled.



He didn't make it. He was literally eating snow.



I decided to go down it. When you got to the bottom you got a lot of snow in your face. But it was a lot of fun.


Tyler going down the hill. He would get a running start at it and go really fast.


Tyler doing a superman off the sled. He flew far before he hit the ground. After a day of sledding we were all a little sore.

Tyler's Birthday

Payton was more excited for Tyler's Birthday then he was. Payton wanted
Tyler to hurry and open his present. I am very big into birthdays. I made
tacos and Angel food cake. His Favorites.

We got Tyler a Mr. Buddy Heater for him to use Ice Fishing.
Jeff, Brenda and Landon got Tyler a 4 man Ice Cube Ice fishing tent.
If you can't tell Tyler likes to go Ice Fishing.Payton wanted to unwrap all the presents but I told him it wasn't Christmas and
mad so I let him open his ornament.

Payton and his ornament for 2009. It's an Elk horn with a
Elk on top bugling.

1st Snow!!!

Our 1st snow of the year was on Tyler's Birthday. Payton and Tia
had a lot of fun playing in it while I shoveled the driveway.

Halloween

This is Payton opening the package that his costume came in. He wanted to be a Fire Fighter Chief. After he opened it he had to go to the fridge and make sure the costume he got matched the one on the fridge.

Payton and his pumpkin. It should look like Scooby Doo in a Witches hat but I am not very good at carving.

Tyler and Payton Trick or Treating. This was the 1st year in a long time that Tyler has been able to come and help. It was a lot of fun.

Payton in his costume. I love this picture. Our cousin Whitney took it when we were taking our family pics. He loved wearing his costume.

Telluride

Last month we went down to Cortez Colorado to visit Tyler's Aunt and Uncle. It was a lot of fun we went to Telluride and rode the Gondola down into the town. It was a little scary because they went fast as you went through the buildings.








This how far down you had to ride in it. the 2nd time. You got on one for a hill and then got on another for this long one.

Here is Jeff and Tyler inside the Gondola.

Chris, Brenda and me inside it.

Jeff and Payton. When it first took off Payton grabbed my hand and said "Oh crap". It was so funny.

Tyler's Elk

Here are a few pictures of Tyler's Elk he got last Thursday. He was so excited. Payton thinks its going in his room but it's going in my living room! I think it's going to take up the entire room! Move over furniture a elk is coming in.

Photos by Whit!!!!

Whitney took these adorable pictures of Payter. They were all random when we were up shucking and bagging corn. I love them Thanks Whit!!!

Camping!

This year we went camping a little later than normal. But it was a lot of fun. I am not the best camper but I will go. On the 4 Wheeler rides we decided to take Tia our dog. As you can see in this picture she would chase us the whole way.

After chasing the 4 wheeler for a while Jeff was nice and let her ride with him. What a spoiled dog!

Tyler and Payton riding the 4 wheeler. Payton loves to go rides! We found out a little something about Payton though. We were on Hunters Highway and Payton had to go Poo. I told him he had to go in the bushes and he looked at me like I was crazy. We tried it and he looked at me and said " Maybe he doesn't like the bushes maybe he only likes the trailer toilet." I asked him who he was and he said it was his poo. We laughed so hard and when we got back to the trailer he went to the bathroom and came out and said " Oh Yeah He likes the trailer toilet!" That made camping fun!

By the last day Jeff was feeling a little dirty and Payton was right there to lend a hand in washing his hair. It got a little crazy there towards the end.

This picture is mt absolute favorite! I love it and am going to blow it up for my house. This is 3 generations of hunters. Even though Payton is only 4 he is getting really good at making an elk call sound. He had some moo cows going crazy in camp.

Tyler's Surgery

On Thursday July 2nd Tyler had to have sinus surgery. For an update it went
really well they got out all the growths and got the inflamed turbinates taken care.
It kinda looks like the took a rotter rooter and stuck it in his nose but he is doing
a lot better. Thanks for everyone thinking of him!

Fun at the Aquatic Center!

Today we took Payton and his cousin Kaitlyn to the Aquatic Center in Castle Dale. It has a lot of fun things for the kids. It doesn't get more than 2' deep in the play area, its warm, and the ground has a rubber thing to make it softer. We were there for 2 hrs and it was fun!

Air Show

For Payton's Birthday Tyler and I took him up to Roy for the Air Show up at Hill Air Force Base. It was a lot of fun. When you first get there you have to go through a metal detector and they look through their purse. You have to do a lot of walking to get from your car to where you sit.

This Picture is inside the cargo area of a B52 plane. It was huge. There was a lot of planes you could walk in or go into the cock pit.

When we got there Payton wanted a pretzel and a purple snow cone. Even though it was really hot and now I have a cool farmer tan it was worth it.

This monster truck was right when you walked in the gate. Payton was so excited he wanted to drive it.

The best show of the day was the Thunderbirds. There are 7 of them and they do alot of fun tricks.
The pilots are from all over the U.S.
