Temple trip!

This past weekend Nick and I were able to go to the temple. We don't get to the temple often enough. My wonderful mother, sister Cami and her friend Josey came down and watched the kids in the visitors center while we attended. We sure do appreciate all their help! Here are some of the pictures of the kids doing activities in the visitors center.

They had fun learning about the tree of life and Lehi's dream. We had to have a family home evening lesson on it because they wanted to learn more! They liked the lambs but they didn't want to dress up as shepherds.

Here are a couple pictures of my baby who is growing up way too fast. He is so cute.

Tyson and Grandma at the visitors center

Tyson loves Trevor - and Trevor loves him!

Tyson likes to sit up so he can see what is going on but on this particular day he was just too tired to watch.

random photos

So I was going through my pictures just reminiscing and thought I should share some recent photos with my blog readers! Enjoy! They are not in any order, just random...

Combing dad's hair

Dad likes his hair combed

Tyson trying out his cereal for the first time - he loved it!

At the annual bull sale (yes Abby has a black eye but it is not real - she had her halloween party at school that morning and she was a dalmation puppy and she would not let me take her make-up off.

Trevor being silly at the bull sale

My little man is growing up so fast

He is so cute - we were matching this day so we took a picture

Cami and I dressed Abby up like an aerobics instructor - the ones that used to wear the underwear over their leotards - lol

Tyson doing tummy time

poor Tyson

The kids thought this was hillarious but Tyson didn't. The poor kid was stuck and we couldn't get him out :(

Trevor, Abby, Carter, and Tyson Baird

they sure love their brother - sometimes too much!

I may be biased but these are the cutest kiddos!

Tyson - 2 months old

Carter - 2 years old

Abby - 3 Years old

Trevor - 4 1/2 years old

The kids were going to save aunt Amber from falling

Don't worry Amber we will catch you!

Sorry for the overload but those were some of my favorites that I wanted to share. I sure love my life! I am so blessed.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!

Halloween sure is a lot of fun when you have little ones! They get so excited and it is just fun to watch them.

LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS (OH MY)!

TYSON THE "OH MY"

Our little family trick or treating!

We were going to have Abby be Dorothy (with toto) and have the boys be the scarecrow, tin man and lion. I was going to have my mother in law help me make some of them and buy some but I hadn't done anything about it yet and my mom called me and told me a nice lady gave her a sack of costumes for us to have. Well it just so happened to have the lion and the bear in there. Another sweet lady that my mom works with found the tiger at a garage sale for her grandson but told us we could use it because he is too little for it this year. It all came together and we did it for free so we went with lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe halloween (and if you didn't get enough candy, come to our house because we have way too much)!

slacker blogger... oops!

I am really lousy at keeping this blog up sometimes. I could list all of my excuses but I will spare you and just get to the updates! Warning: picture overload (if there is such a thing)!

Alyson reading to Trevor and Abby (what a nice aunt and uncle)!

This is a really tired boy! He loves sandwiches but this day he was just too tuckered out to even finish. poor kid

No, I did not pee my pants. I was changing Tyson's diaper on the floor by a corner shelf. Carter came over and touched the shelf and it tipped right over. I caught it before it hit Tyson but I didn't catch the candle that was in the candle warmer. It splashed all over us. Luckily I took the brunt of it but it did get on Tyson's bare belly. I was so scared that it burned him but he didn't seem bothered by it at all. I was just glad that he was okay. My pants and shirt and the carpet are another story. Oh well.

We went over to the homecoming parade in Evanston.

It starts right by my in-laws house so we just walk out the door and have the best spot.

here is Tyson at the parade - he was toasty!

Here are all they grandkids that could get the candy - they sure had fun!

Here is their big pile of candy

Abby and Paige are sure getting to be good friends! (her cousin)

This is my baby sucking his thumb - well almost

he really did have his thumb in his mouth but as soon as I pushed the button his thumb came out. He is such a cute little guy though!

If you are still with me-thanks for sticking it out through it all. We have been up to quite a bit but this is what we captured on camera.
