Happy Anniversary Honey!!!

The 30th of May was our 6th wedding anniversary! I can't believe I have been married to this wonderful man for six years! A lot has happened in that time and it seems to have gone by so fast, but at the same time I can't imagine what life would be like without him. He is the love of my life, and my best friend.....I love you Tyson!!!

Coming out of the Temple....I think he was a little shocked to be married!

I loved my wedding, I had a blast! We made everyone dance!

Yep, he was still in shock!

I think the dang best men forgot their tuxes were rented!

More dancing....nothing like doing the electric slide in a wedding dress!

Shake those booties!! Hayyyyy Maccaraina!!!!

This one wins the award for strangest picture of the night!

Owens Birthday

In April we celebrated Owens birthday (Rachel's little boy...I'm his favorite!). We also had a little Easter Egg Hunt and a Family get together. This is Owen on his new bike, all the boys were impressed!

Rachel's sweet friend Sarah came over to play and distracted Rachel while I got a few pictures. This was a week and a half before she had the twins...Isn't her baby bump cute!!

All the chaos in my family!! It's fun! Love you Heather! Good luck in DC!

Look at those sweet little boys! Oh...and Brady!

Chicks

Every year Grandma and Grandpa Hatch get baby Chicks and Lambs to put on their property. Isaac and Ethan love to play with animals when they are little and feed them once they get out side. I think the only animal they don't like is the goats Grandpa gets to feed the lambs, they can be mean!
On this day Tyson's sister Tasha her husband Doug and their little boy Stetson were at Grandmas house. We love it when they come out to play!

Molly Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for Molly a month ago. (I'm so behind!) It was a lot of fun! I did the decorations and some food and all the wonderful girls in my ward helped with everything else.

Some of the sweet babies that came! Little Stirling with the red hair...isn't he cute! The twins have their backs to the camera, they are Isaac's age. Isaac has always had a crush on one of them! Little Lexy and Emerson; I love all these babies!

The shower was a lot of fun! I am so excited to be close to Tyson's work, but I'm not looking forward to moving away from these wonderful ladies :(
Thank you Lisa, Lindsy, Amber and Brenda for all your help!

Congratulations Nik and Molly on your little one!

Park City

In February the boy's and I went up to see Tyson in Heber, a friend came to town and we went out to lunch. After lunch we went to see one of the homes Tyson designed in Promontory. It is amazing to see this beautiful home complete, I helped Tyson make the model that was required for this community when Isaac was a baby!
My sweet husband never fails to amaze me, he is such a wonderful example of the talents our Heavenly Father gives us. Tyson works so hard nurturing his talents and finding work in things he loves. This past month we have been working on our new home in Heber. While I have been stressed out of my mind, Tyson has been getting to work. Making lists for the bank, redesigning things in the home, making renderings of what he wants the house to look like, talking to sub contractors, reading up on how to do electrical (scary!), digging holes for water lines, peeling timber for a new stair case, moving the walls, talking to supply places, etc. etc. etc......
Tyson amazes me and exhaust me all at the same time!!!
I am grateful for his example to me and my boy's of forgetting himself and getting to work!
I'm also grateful to my Heavenly Father for such a great Husband and Father!!!
Thank you Honey!!

F.H.E.

The joy's of Family Home Evening with a two year old and four year old. I don't know how much reverence we are getting during FHE, but it is fun!! Any suggestions?

Fun in the Snow

One morning in January(yes I am trying to catch up!) after going to the chiropractor, we headed out to Tyson's moms house to play in the snow. Grandpa Blaine had hooked up a car hood to the back of Kierstans truck and everyone was having rides on it! I couldn't go out to play because I just went to the chiropractor and sailing through the air on a hood didn't seem to be the best recovery plan!
I did have fun watching through the window as the kids took there nice little rides around the field. I almost peed my pants when I looked out the window and saw Tyson, Branson or Clayson whipping around the field so fast the sled hardly touched the ground and when they flew off, it involved several cartwheels!! My heart stops just thinking about it!!!
Tyson and his brothers had fun making more home movies. The topic this time was extreme sports, all the guys had Arnold Schwarzenegger accents. The game was to see who got the most points for staying on the sled the longest, how rough the ride was, and how many times the sled hydroplaned!!! I had to remind Tyson how expensive broken bones are!!!
In all it was a great day, I love to see Tyson have so much fun with his siblings and Isaac!!
Now I am ready for spring!!!

Christmas

Christmas morning was so much fun. It makes such a difference when the kids know whats going on!! Isaac was thrilled with everything and wanted to open all the presents. Ethan wanted to just open one thing at a time and play with it right away!

Our friend form Japan Kiyoko Fujisawa, sent Isaac and Ethan presents for their birthdays, we thought they were for Christmas!! She is such a sweet lady, Isaac and Ethan loved having her family come visit last year! Thank you Kiyoko!

My moms house was next, with more fun present opening and a wonderful breakfast. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Munson!!
We than went to Tyson's moms for games and lunch. It was fun to see everyone! I am so sad we didn't get any pictures. I started to come down with a could at this point, and wasn't thinking clearly. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Hatch!

Last on our list was my Dads and Laurie's it was a great place to rest from the day of running. We had fun exchanging gifts, I gave Heather and Allen pajama pants that were "HUGE" I still need to get them back to fix them!! Sorry!!!
We had dinner and Grandpa made some of his wonderful treats!!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Berg!!!

More December Fun!

We Had a fun family night setting up our Christmas Tree and decorating our house! Daddy wanted to put poinsettias and lights up on the shelf in the living room. Isaac helped and Ethan got to take a picture. It was scary for Mommy!

The finished product! This was Christmas Eve night.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet my moms biological father. His name is Don and his sweet wife is Patty, they came up from California to visit before Christmas. It was fun to get to know them better, and learn more about our family genealogy. It was also surreal to look at Don and see family resemblance. We had such a nice time and the kids had fun with a new "Grandpa" and "Grandma" I hope they come again!!
I love that my family is so large, Isaac and Ethan get to love so many people and so many people love them. I also love that they have learned to be so accepting, of people and love everyone!

December Fun!

Isaac and Ethan's Birthday Party at my moms house. Isac was so excited to get this Geo Trax, he found it in an ad and told us everyday how much he wanted it! Thanks Grandma!

At the ward Christmas Party with some friends!!

My family cuts down Christmas Trees in Joseph every year. My brother-in-laws parents live down there and let us come see them. They are such sweet people!

We went out with my mom, step-dad Jim and brother Allen.
Mom took maters into her own hands and cut down my tree. It took to long for the guys to get there with the chain saw.

Hunting Season

We were blessed this hunting season, Tyson got a nice deer and elk.
The pictures of the deer were after the deer hunt, they were beautiful. Isaac and Riley were so excited to be hunting. When we saw the deer they would jump up and down and shout "there's the deer get them!!" I don't know how I feel about this, I hope my child doesn't have to go to counseling later in life! I do respect the lessons Tyson learned growing up around hunting and guns, I hope my son's will learn the same lessons!

Ethan

It was so hard not to put more pictures of Ethan up!!!
I love you sweet baby!

Last Valentines we did our own photo shoot, to get some pictures for Daddy. I love how this one turned out.

We cant look at his eyes when he is in trouble or he melts our hearts!

This is the only picture of Ethan's first Birthday with him in it. Our camera broke, I am so sad.

Funny boy!!

Daddy always makes him smile!

A few months old and so big!

On our wedding video we talked about having kids after Tyson graduated. It didn't quite turn out that way, but i wouldn't trade my boys for anything. We learned that Heavenly Father knows whats going on, and I wouldn't trade them for anything!

Ethan's first Christmas!

Ethan the day he was born, holding his Binky in his mouth!

It was Ethan's Birthday on December 7th. My boys are two years and exactly a week apart!
Ethan is such a sweet boy and my little baby. I had two doctors tell me I can't carry him anymore because he is to big, but he is still my baby!
Some of the things Ethan loved and learned this year are....Daddy, his first word...Spider man,his second word!...and then Mommy!....he also loves playing outside...loves playing in a corner with cars by himself.....loves anytime he can be by himself and left alone!...He LOVES anything with wheels....also balls, or anything he can through at Isaac!....He does love to play with his brother when he is feeling up to it.....He loves Micky Mouse on TV and on the computer...He loves to sit on Daddy's lap and help him design things....he has come so far in his speech the past few months. He wasn't one to talk, than he just started speaking in sentences!....I love it when he comes to me and wants to hold my face and tell me what he wants...he also loves nursery, he was such an easy child to send to nursery. He will just sit with his favorite teacher Bro. Hanson, all day and play with toys.

We love you little boy!!!
