Back in Business(Enjoying the moments...)

Our Family September 29, 2009
Tycen 3 years old!

Whitney 17 months old!

So it has been a LONG time since I lasted blogged. Our digital camera was stolen on the 4th of July this past summer and I have been so sad that I haven't had anything to document our lives. Of course my parents and Shawn's parents have their cameras and have done an amazing job, but it is not the same. So, my parent's Christmas gift to our family was a new camera and they gave it to us a little early so that I wouldn't miss out on anything else that my darling children are doing. Whitney is now 17 and 1/2 months old and Tycen is 3 but will be turning 4 next month. Tycen started pre-school with Mrs. Heap at Wonderland Academy this past September and he is learning so much everyday. He can say the "Pledge of Alligence". Pretty impressive. Little Miss Whitney is talking up a storm, but she is basically the only one who knows what she is talking about. :) Well I hope that everyone's Christmas preparations are underway and that everyone is taking the time out of their lives to enjoy the moments! Happy Holidays!

What a fun day we had taking pictures in the beautiful fall leaves! We got all the colors and the kids absolutely loved playing in the leaves! What a wonderful day!

Petting Zoo!

This past week we went to the Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo! Tycen and Whitney loved looking at all the animals and they even got to ride on a pony named Clancy! We went with my good friend from our ward Rita, and her little boy Asher. She also brought her niece, Neveah. Tycen had quite a little crush on Neve! It was an extremely HOT day which made the kids a little high strung but it was worth it and so much fun!

The beautiful bride!!!

What a beautiful woman!

Well my blog received a face-lift! I finally learned how to somewhat customize my blog! It feels good. My husband looked at it and said, "Wow, it is like scrapbooking without the mess!" Nicely put my darling. Everything is going great! We are waiting to see if Shawn gets an interview for a job that he applied for (keep your fingers crossed) and I am still at home with my kiddos!

My sister Alysse got married to Chasten Crouchet on August 15, 2009. They had a Fairytale Wedding. They are very happy together and it is fun to have a new member join our family. They got married in the Salt Lake LDS temple and had their reception in my uncle's backyard. It was beautiful. Well here is to fresh starts (with my blog :) and to new beginnings for my beautiful sister ALYSSE! P.S. now that she is married I made her create a blog for her little family-- chastenandalysse.blogspot.com

Our Family on Miss Whitney's Birthday!

Oh Little Miss Whitney! What would I do without you. You make me want to be a better person. Because of you I try harder, I laugh harder, and I love more! Thank you for letting me be the one you come to when you are sad. Thank you for letting me hold you ALL through the night! :) Thank you for letting me be your Mommy! I love you with all of my heart!

Already????!!!!!!

Whitney the day she was born! (July 1, 2008)

My sweet little "Princess Whinnie" is going to be one year old on July 1st! I cannot believe that it has been a year. We are throwing her a Princess Party at the Park! She is such a cuddlebug and I am so grateful for her and the opportunity of being her Mommy! She says "Dada dada" all the time but in the last week or so she is starting to say "Mama" too! What a gorgeous little lady you are Whitney! Mommy and Daddy love you with all of our hearts...Tycen too :)
