Sawyer's Blessing Day

 Here she is heading to the church.  She was blessed on August 3rd, 2014 by Brice.  He gave a really great blessing.

 This is all of us before the blessing.  Ember is such a stink, she wouldn't smile for me.

 I love this lady!!  Mindy is truly an example to me and I am so blessed to have her in my life.

 Grandpa and Grandma holding Sawyer.

 I had my eyes closed... I love how grandpa is looking at her and she is looking at him.

 Emilee and Chase

 Trent and Wendy

 Brad and Kenzie with Brinlee, Emee, Livee, and Evee.

 Kasey and Amanda with Maddy, Kelsie and Hayden.

 Grandpa and Gramby giving kisses.

 I don't know why grandpa is pulling this face, but I love what Sawyer and Gramby are doing.

This is my love bug after her big day. We were so blessed to have her blessed in the same dress as Ember and also it was a dress that Grandma Lythgoe and Aunt Judy picked out. 

Sawyer's Dinner

 So, for Sawyer's blessing me and Brice did something not very traditional.  We had the dinner the Saturday before we blessed her.  It was so nice to be able to have the dinner and not feel rushed after the blessing.  Here is Brice holding Sawyer and doing something....  He didn't know I was taking a picture.

 Here are the kids jumping on the tramp.  Dear, sweet Judy passed away on July 28th, and so Brad and Kenzie and Trent and Wendy were able to be at the blessing.

 I am holding my chunky monkey!!

 Aunt Emilee is talking to her.

Kasey and Amanda pushing the kids with their feet.  They got quite the workout.

Roy Days Parade

 I love parade's so we went to the Roy parade in August.  Tayson also got to be in this parade with Extreme Tumbling.

 Sawyer chilling at the parade..

 Ember never looks at me when I want her to.

 Look I am in a picture.  Me and my mom did the two mile walk that morning.  It was a lot of fun and I got the cool lime yellow shirt.

Here is Tayson getting ready to do a backhand spring in the road. 

Sawyer

 After a bath she has curly hair, just like her brother and sister.

 This picture is of her smiling at me while I try and take the picture.

 Tayson loves to get Sawyer to smile or giggle at him.

 Here she is looking at her big brother.  I love this picture!!

She is asleep.  This trusted bouncer lasted about two months before it broke on us.  It served us well and so its fitting I got a picture with her in it asleep.  She is three months old and we just love her.  she is fourteen pounds and 24 inches long.  She loves her bottle and started eating rice cereal and just loves it.  She gets excited about her toys more and is trying to grab them.

Fourth of July

 Tayson didn't like his picture taken..

 As you can tell in this picture he didn't want it taken either.  Ember looks confused.  This is at the Riverdale parade.  I drag Brice with me every year and every year he doesn't want to be there..

 I love this picture of Emmee at parade.

 Here is Brinlee and Ember waiting for the candy to be thrown.  Brinlee looked at me, but Ember would not.

 Grandpa even ended up coming to the parade..

 Here is grandpa holding Sawyer before we lit off fireworks.

 Brice is the pyro guy!!  He needed a chair this year to lit all of the fireworks!

I loved this one of Ember running away as one is getting lit!! 

Swim Lessons

 Here is Ember floating on her back.  She got to take swim lessons for the first time this year and was so excited.  She did an awesome job and can't wait to do it again.

 Tayson is in the bigger class so they are kind of far away to take a good picture, but I got this one of him.  He loves back floats and jumping off of the diving board.  He is quite the little fish in water.

 I love this picture of Ember smiling.

On the last day they take the kids out in the deeper in end with life jackets and form a train.  She loved doing this!!

My Big Helper

 Ember loves to feed and play with her sister.  She wouldn't smile in this picture, but the one below I got her to smile!!

Tayson's 9

 I don't know why he is pulling this face, but he is.  Tayson turned nine on June 19th 2014.  He was so excited for his birthday.  He got some clothes, a Google play card, Steve from MInecraft, money, and games.

Here is a better picture of the birthday boy.  These are the only pictures I got of him on his birthday.  He had a friend over for a while and we went to dinner as a family.  I made him vanilla cupcakes with cookies and cream frosting.  He had a good and we are very blessed to have him in our family.  Love you buddy!!
