A yard and a half

A few days ago Cory was replacing our shower head and had Tyler helping him with the project. Tyler had asked Cory how much tape he needed. Plumbers tape to be exact. Tyler immediately answered his own question and says to Cory, "You need a yard and a half dad." Cory yells down to me that he thinks I may be taking him to the fabric stores too much since he know how to say a yard in a half. HA HA!!!

Young Womens

So as a few of you already know, I have been called to serve as the Young Women's 1st Counselor in our ward. I have only been in this calling for a few weeks now and so far it has been very rewarding. The girls are so wonderful. I gave my first lesson on Sunday and was a touch nervous. But, they participated very well and I know some of them were touched by the spirit. I know I was called for a reason. I have a lot they can learn from and I know I can learn from them as I have already found out these past few weeks. I am quite excited about being in the Young Womens again.

So ADORABLE.....

So I think Jason is just the cutest little guy ever. He is so much fun. He's still pretty mellow. He is only really loud if Tyler is bugging him and if he is tired. Other than that, he's a pretty quiet little guy. He is pretty determined not to walk quite yet. We've been trying. He can walk while holding on to just one of our fingers. But, if we dare let go of that one finger, he sits down and crawls. I think its kind of funny. He's a whopping 27 lbs now....woo hoo. I've said this before, but I just can't believe how fast babies grow up. He is my little cuddle monkey so that helps a lot. I love all his hugs. He has learned how to kiss, but, he will kiss you open mouthed on the cheek and lips, so watch out.

Cute Mommy and adorable Jason.

I really like this picture of us.

He is such a happy baby.

Girls Night OUT!!!

Last week a few of my lady friends and I went to a movie together without husbands or children. Out of all the movies we could see, we chose....STAR TREK. I think it's funny. I had already seen it once and my friend Nellie had seen it twice already. I enjoyed just as much the second time around as the first. It was so much fun. I laughed pretty hard. It was a nice break out with my friends. I loved it.

Caranna, Nellie, Me, and Sam. They are such good friends to me. I am so glad that I have good friends that I can rely on and do things with. They have all been wonderful blessings in my life.

Isn't Spock so handsome???

Live long and prosper!!!

Sleepover

We had our very first sleepover a few weekends ago. Melissa and Nathan needed to attend an 8:00 am wedding in Idaho Falls and wanted to know if we wanted to keep the girls over night or have them dropped off really early. We decided to have them over for the whole night. Tyler and Jason were already in bed when they arrived which made it easier for us. Then, it was time to get the girlies asleep. They were pretty talkative at first. So, I finally went upstairs to shower. But they came upstairs not too long after. Allie was afraid of the shadows some flowers were making. And, Brian's painting scared her too. So, after my shower, I went and laid down with them until they fell asleep. I don't know how long it took because I feel asleep too. It was pretty fun. I really liked curling their hair and letting them pick out a hair bow from my collection to match their outfit for the day. It was a pretty fun night and morning for us. Tyler keeps asking when Allie and Kayla are going to sleep downstairs again. He really liked waking up and having his cousins there.

Allie all snug in her bed.

Kayla is right across from Allie on her couch.

Here am I in all my loveliness.

It was so fun. It was like having a girl party.

Zoo

A few weeks ago I joined a couple of friends and we went to the Idaho Falls zoo. All I have to say is that it was quite the adventure. We had 3 moms, 3 three year old's, 3 one year old's, and a 7 year old. Holy smokes was it a crazy day. The kids saw this awesome park by the zoo and didn't really want to go to the zoo after that, then, it was hot. Really really HOT. The poor kids were red and sweating just as much as us mommies. I do have to say, it was pretty fun. I think we lost our minds when we took all the kids to the mall park. I think we all just about lost it there. I do have to say that I really enjoyed spending time with my wonderful friends. It was a nice break from our normal routine.

Tyler liked running around the zoo. He was a little disappointed that there were no elephants or giraffes there.

Jason was so good strolling around in the stroller.

All the boys looking at the turkeys.

Jason was really checking out those goats.

Ryan loved the goats and was sometimes a little too rough with them.

Tyler liked petting the goats. I think the petting zoo was the kids favorite part of the zoo. I know Tyler liked it a lot.

Cute Tyler again.

After the zoo and the park, we let all the kids ride one ride at the adventure land. All three boys wanted to ride the train. Since Tyler has ridden on it before, he let Boyd and Ryan ride in the front seat. They all loved it.

Jordan was the only one to choose the airplanes. After the boys saw how cool it was they wanted to ride them, but as I mentioned earlier, they only rode one ride.

Amy and Tyler's Reception

The reception was actually supposed to be in Scot and Laurie's back yard, but due to the rain, it ended up at the church. I thought it turned out beautiful. And, Tyler played in the nursery almost the whole time and so we got to enjoy the reception without a 3 year old screaming and running around like a crazy pants.

The entry way.

I love all the lanterns.

Isn't Tyler so handsome in his new suit?!!

Grandma and Jason. I love this picture of Laurie!!!

This is what happens when you take a little 3 year old to a wedding reception.....MELTDOWN MANIA!!! This happened a lot, so we just let him play in the nursery the whole time and we checked on him ever 10 minutes or so. He was such an angel in there.

Ahhhhhhh.....

Melissa and Jasers. I love this picture of Melissa. You are so beautiful.

Amy and Tyler with all of their nieces and nephews. It was a hard shot to get. Some children...not mine, of course... weren't cooperating very well.

Jason loves to snuggle with Aunt Lissa.

This is a great picture of Cory and Allison.

I love Tyler's smile in this one. He is growing up to be such a handsome young lad.

Grooms cake..pretty cute.

When we were cleaning up, the gazebo top was on the floor and so we put it over Jason. He loved it. I thought it was a good place for him too. HA!!

In between randomnesses....

All these pictures were taken in the car in between driving to the wedding and back, and to the reception. I thought there were a few good pictures so I wanted to share them.

Such a cute lady.

Tyler with a poop smile.

Jason was so excited that I turned around and took his picture. He waved his hands up and was laughing at me.

Here is a better one of Tyler. I think it's pretty darn cute.

More of me.

Nice picture of Tyler looking up right at me. His eyes are so beautiful.

Speaking of beautiful eyes...I know, I am weird. Here is my beautiful eye.

Grandma Saunders and Jill.

After the wedding we stopped by Jill's house to see Grandma Saunders. It had been awhile since we saw them. It was so much fun to see her. I think Grandma and Jill were both glad that we had stopped by.

Jason and Jill.

Grandma and Jason. He liked watching her and he kept crawling over and putting his hands on her lap. It was cute.

Tyler gave Grandma a great big hug. It was so cute.
