November 2011

Silly Ethan! He is such a quite boy, but when he thinks no one is looking, he can be such a goof ball! He loves to play with the camera, I hope he never grows out of that!

Thanksgiving at Grandma Vickie's. I never get pictures at Tyson's moms house, I am so glad I got some this time!

Thanksgiving at my Dad's and Laurie's. Say cheese! Ty and the girls. Beau and Mom. Laurie and Ashley.

Mom, my sisters, Caitlin's husband Chandler.

Thanksgiving with Tyson's dad and siblings at our house. The girls helping in Tyson's works new building.

Isaac and Ethan's birthday party! They have such wonderful friends, we love our neighborhood!

Love these sweet boys!

Opening presents!

This is our Christmas Elf Sam North. Tyson painted a Zarahemla scene for our ward Christmas Party. I think he did a really good job! 

Alayna and Olivia are getting so big They have such wonderful personalities. Olivia is such a loud diva, she knows what she wants and will shamelessly flirt to get it! She has all these little walks that she does and tilts of the head, such a cut like voice and you can see that little mind going all the time, just like Isaac! 

Alayna is such a sweet angle....when she isn't screaming at Ethan those two are so much alike! She is so shy as well, I hope it doesn't get as bad as Ethan. She doesn't want to go to nursery now ugh! She gives the best hugs and looks into your eyes like she knows your soul. She is such a kind soft little girl! 

Isaac is such a little man! Everyone loves him, his personality can fill a room in an instant! His teacher Mrs. Mumford is always telling me how much she loves that little man! She told me so much about him at Parent Teacher night it made me feel good to see she knew him so well. It was good for me to see him through her eyes. She said he is such a thinker he has to be given information before he can go on (I wonder if he gets that from me!) 

Ethan is doing well in his mommy trade preschool, t is good for him to get out and see other kids. He loves to play with Carter at Marie's house and would be over there all day if I let him. I think school is going to be good for him , he needs more interaction and something to keep him busy. 

The boys have been doing wrestling the month and Isaac loves it. Ethan is so shy he cant get out there, but he did really well at the last meet.

Tyson took the Engineering test he has been waiting for enough working time too get it done. He passed and is loving his new stamp!!!!!!!

October 2011

Ethan found the camera and took some pictures! Sweet Alayna Girl!

Little Olivia Girl and handsome Isaac!

Isaac being Isaac! Daddy holding his fairies at the ward Halloween party. I think the camera dies before we could get outside, but it was a lot of fun! The boys didn't want to go home that night, they just wanted to play in their Harry Potter costumes and stun their friends with the wands!

September 2011

We went out to eat at Indian Palace the last night we were with Nate, before he went into the MTC. The girls had a long day and fell asleep. Nate went to Eugene Oregon on his mission and is doing really well, we miss him a lot though! 

Funny Uncle Nate! Tyson and Nate have a close relationship and the kids love to be around him!

Nate giving hugs, oh wait, don't give Lindsy one! Nate has this friend that is a girl (I would say girlfriend) that I never got to meet until he was going on his mission. I have now had the chance to hang out with her the past year and she is wonderful! I wish I had the chance to get to know her when Nate was here, that stinker brother hiding his friends from us. (I have know clue why he would do that!) We love you Elder Berg! Can't wait for you to get back!

August 2011

In August 2011 we had a Family Reunion type thing with Tyson's Grandma Finch and some of her kids, grand-kids and great-grand-kids. It was a lot of fun and nice to get pictures of Grandma with the kids. If you notice Alayna was not going to be helpful, we all got a good laugh out of her ability to squirm and Tyson's ability to hold on to both girls, such is life with twins!

I love Grandmas faces in these pictures, you can totally tell what she is thinking!

I love how much Grandma melts when Tyson is around, you can tell how much she loves him.

It was nice to see Tyson with Justin, they used to hang out all the time, but life has gotten crazy and it is a rare occasion now. They did have a lot of fun goofing off, maybe someone should remind them they are getting older and have kids!

The gang, Bran and JJ were around a lot when Tyson and I first met. They would tag along when we went up hunting at grandmas. When I met them they we these little guys, it is amazing to see how they ave grown!

I think this was the first time the girls really got to see Rocky, they were intrigued by this little thing that had taken Aunt Caitlyn away from them!

Grandma Evelyn had come up and brought my Dads twin brother Jerry. It was fun to finally be able to get some pictures of all the twins in the family and Grandma who started it all! In the pictures of the twins you have (left to right) Finley (Fin), Jerry, Alayna, Olivia, Garry (Dad) and Fredrick (Fritz). I think we should have made Dad and Jerry dress alike!

Grandma and her Utah Grandkids and Great-Grandkids. Yes, all of those kids came from just me and my sister!

A friend of mine got into a car accident with her family and ended up loosing her son. She got hurt really bad and so did her husband, Tyson and Branson were so nice and went the her house and built them a ramp to get inside. 

Random happening! Alayna and Olivia found powder sugar and decided it was so wonderful they needed it all over themselves! Olivia wanted a diaper on her head, Bran decided to be stylish too. My little Olivia. Ethan helped me make fresh cheery pie.

Isaac started first grade! He had Ms Mumford and loved her!

Beautiful babies!

The girls love to climb on the table. I was stairs and it sounded like something was swinging and I realized it was the girls swinging from the chandelier! We always have hot air balloons over our house in the morning, we thought the Pepsi one was quite interesting! 

July 2011

The forth of July at Aunt Rachel's. Allen and Jim did an amazing firework show and Brady had a huge DJ setup. It was the best show in town! Olivia and Ethan had the most fun with the little car!

In July, Rachel had her sixth little boy named Rocky. He is such a stink-en cute little man!

Alayna loving the dirt! Yes she even had to get down and taste it....I think more then once!

The family by the fire, this was our first night and the girls didn't last long, after such a long drive they were ready for bed. I wish they had slept wen we did finally get to bed, it was a long night!

Such cute kids!

Such big boys, they love camping and love the fire just like their Daddy! It is a lot of fun to see my little men having so much fun in nature!

Water balloon volleyball is a must! This crowed is a lot of fun to watch!

Camping Babies! Do you notice the bare feet?! When we go camping we do it redneck stile, I think we found shoes everywhere but on the little feet!

Feeding time! The port-a-crib was the only way to get them to stay in the same place long enough to eat or give us a rest from chasing them. Ya, they didn't like being in there!

Olivia was a fan of the dirt, but not as much as Alayna. She was okay having people hold and snuggle her.

In July we went to the Island of Kawi in Hawaii with some of my family. It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful island, it was funny to see all of the wild chickens that are on the island, but it does make for some interesting discussions on why the chicken crosses the road!

One of the main roads has this beautiful tree tunnel that was so pretty and fun to drive through.

We went up the NaPali  Coast, it was beautiful and a lot of fun to see.

Our guides were a lot of fun and took us in a lot of caves.

We also stopped by Puka Dowgs...twice! It was so yummy and I wish we had one here!

Some of the best entertainment happens while standing in line!

We of course had to find a beach that no one was on. I think there was a reason no one was on this one, the riptide was so hard you would be taken off your feet just sticking your big toe in the water! We had a lot of fun anyway, we even got to see a big sea lion laying on the beach.
