Dylan's First Day of Preschool

Dylan started preschool the beginning of September and has absolutely loved it! He goes to CountryLoft Preschool in Lehi Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11:30. He has done really well and is always happy when I drop him off and pick him up. His teacher's name is Ms. Jaci and is very nice. He has already learned a lot and comes home singing a new song almost everyday. The other day while eating dinner Dylan recited the Pledge of Allegiance. I was amazed! He is a little memorizer and is very smart!

Oktoberfest in Snowbird

We had a very enjoyable, relaxing day up at Snowbird one weekend. It was a good trip and nice to spend time as a family. Dylan loved the alpine slide with his daddy, and loved playing in the bounce houses as well.

He sat really still to get his face painted, but sure doesn't look too happy in this picture. But as you can see in the next two he liked his face paint and was roaring at everyone because he was a "scary monster."


We rode the tram up the mountain and enjoyed with cool weather while listening to a small band play the french horns. It wasn't what Bryan expected because I had told him there was a band playing at the top. He had anticipated something quite a bit different, but it was enjoyable all the same. It was beautiful up there and a nice getaway!



Random Catch Up Photos

We have been reading Dr. Seuss a lot lately and Dylan loves the book Green Eggs and Ham so one morning for breakfast here was my attempt at making them. Dylan loved it and ate all of them!

A while ago my friend Kristina and I took our kids to This is the Place in Salt Lake. The kids had fun playing in the houses, petting the goats/pigs, and riding the ponies. I wish I would have planned it better, cause we weren't able to stay very long and missed out on a lot more activities.






My mom and I went to Gardner Village and Dylan enjoyed watching and chasing the geese.

This picture was taken at Dylan's cousin Katelyn's birthday party at Utah Lake. I think little kids like frosting! This is Dylan with his two cousins Carson and Carter. They are very close in age and always enjoy spending time with eachother.

Bryan turned 32 on July 29th. We didn't do anything big this year to celebrate, but I did make him Lemon Bars for his cake, which he loves. I sure love my husband! He is the best!

Playing Catch-up/Summer Fun

These pictures are a few months old. One day I put up the slip and slide in the front yard and let the boys play. They had a good time trying to figure out how it worked, but mostly just played in the water. The little boy with Dylan is Christian. I started watching him in April and watch him every Monday and Wednesday and his mom, Jade, the next door neighbor watches Dylan Tuesday and Thursday. It has ended up working out really great. We are both able to work and know that our children are safe and taken care of. The best part is we don't have to pay for daycare and Dylan gets better care than if he were in daycare.

My handsome Boy in his Sunday Best!


Megan's Wedding/Dylan's 3rd Birthday

July 1st my beautiful sister-in-law Megan married Bo Waters in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful day which began with the temple ceremony, pictures, then a luncheon, then a great reception! Megan looked gorgeous and was definitely the most beautiful bride at the temple that day!

These pictures are a little out of order, but here is Dylan and daddy at the reception. Can you tell Dylan loves his dad?

This is Bryan's Aunt Ann and his mom.

These two hotties are my sister-in-laws who were also bridemaids.

This is Dylan's grandpa Larry and of course Dylan and Bryan.

Dylan's birthday was also July 1st, although we mostly celebrated it a week later after the wedding hustle and bustle was over. Bryan's sister Alissa and her husband Jesse gave us their fish tank after they upgraded to a bigger tank. I took Dylan and we went with a pirate theme and bought some tropical fish. You can only add the fish 3 or so at a time in order to have better luck at having a healthy tank and fish. We started with 2 fancy guppies and a platy. This week we are going to add some electric fish and a snail. Dylan is obsessed with the fish tank and watches them all the time!

This is Dylan after his party with all of his loot! Thank you for everyone who came and gave him such awesome gifts!

Here is Dylan's birthday cake, of course it had to be Lightning Mcqueen themed!

Dylan's Aunt Crystal gave Dylan this awesome Lightning Mcqueen camping chair. He loves it and it has now moved into my bedroom where he watches his movies in it. He loves it, especially since it has a cup holder.

Again, these pictures are out of order, but here he is opening all his presents.

We gave Dylan our present on his actual birthday which was this awesome Lightning McQueen bicycle.

Here he is riding it for the first time! He still needs a lot of practice, but he is getting pretty good at it.
