We ADOPTED!

2011-12-18T17:44:00.000-08:00

The first year we lived in our new home we decided to get a dog. We searched on KSL and found a Boxer that was 8 years old and had been rescued. Her chip was outdated and she had just had 8 pups and was approximately 6 years old. We decided she'd be a great fit and we wouldn't have to worry about potty training. We had a cat at the time and specifically asked if the person who'd found her knew if she did well with cats and she replied "yes" that she herself owned a few and they got a long great. When I brought the Boxer home we quickly named her Josie. We tried introducing her to our cat Baby. Instant craziness!! We thought they'd warm up to one another and that it;d blow over. It NEVER did and my cat became a recluse, always in our room to the point I had to move her food and water as well as her cat box to my room. Eventually she got out and never came home. Do I blame her? No. Poor thing.

So Ty and I have played with the idea of getting a another cat over the last few years. Never have. Pat (Ty's mom) wanted to get Cambria a bird for Christmas because she LOVES the movie Rio SO MUCH! I begged her to please NOT get us a bird. I didn't want to have to deal with the constant chirping noise, feathers and seeds. So I said she loves kitties (which she does, says meow meow all the time looking out the window in hopes of seeing a cat) She said okay then decided against it.

Ty and I with the kids went to Pets Mart today and was hoping that if we found a cat they'd hold it until Christmas Eve. I wanted SO BADLY to put it in a box and have the kids open it for Christmas or Christmas Eve. Plans didn't work out that way. We looked and I think we all instantly fell in love with a 9 mth old domestic short hair blue/grey fur with stunning yellow eyes. I wasn't too happy at the fact that it was male but he's been neutered and had all his shots. I didn't want a male afraid it'd spray. They thought he was young enough that he may not know how to do that yet. So that made me happy. With a bit a careful thought and talking amongst ourselves we decided to go ahead and adopt him! :) The kids were so happy and delighted to know that we were bringing a cat home with us.

The ride home at first was a bit nerve racking for him but he soon adjusted. Brought him in the house, it took him a bit to warm up to our Boston Terrier Smug. I don't think they love each other yer but they are getting there. We've been spraying him with water every time he tries using our couches as a scratching post. We bought him a fun scratching wavy post so he better use that if he knows what's good for him ha ha ha Well he's become quite relaxed and I think this was a VERY big decision but I think it was a good one.

Family Pictures 2011

2011-12-07T09:53:00.000-08:00

Family Picture time!!! A little late this year but hey later is better than never, right? I love fall I'm pretty comfortable with saying it's my favorite time of the year. We did pictures the beginning of December this year. A bit chilly but we managed. I LOVE my pictures!!! Had a gal from work do them. She did an awesome job! I am very pleased! Cambria and Callen did so well! I was happy that they participated as well as they did.

These little ones are my world! Two of the best accomplishments in my life! They make our world go round!

I love my family so much! I cannot imagine one second without them. The other night I cried while laying in bed trying to fall asleep and I began thinking how fast time has gone by since I had Callen 6 1/2 years ago. In 6 months he will be 7 years old and 11 years away from being 18. I know seems like forever but if it goes as fast as the last 6 1/2 years it will fly by!. Scares me! Cambria will be 2 in 5 months. Where did the time go?? I don't want them to grow up! What will I do? I do everything for them! I wake up with them, I play with them, I work for them, I get them tucked into bed, I check on them throughout the night...Just can't even think about it. All I know as I need to live in the moment and Cherish EVERY second of EVERY day and do EVERYTHING I possibly can with them to create memories we'll hold close to our hearts forever. So instead of thinking about the future and being sad I am going to try and look at it from a different perspective and embrace them growing up and learning and experiencing new things.

Our 6th Wedding Anniversary Today!

2011-10-15T10:20:00.000-07:00

Ty and I have been together for 8 years now, married for 6. We started dating when I was 16 and he was 17. I had a crush on him growing up. We attended the same elementary for awhile and were what you'd call boyfriend and girlfriend a couple years prior before he asked me out. We were young young so it lasted a week. I was a cashier at McDonalds here in Payson when he walked through the doors one morning around 9 a.m. I wanted to run for cover, even if it risked my job. I was beyond embarrassed. The hottest kid EVER is going to be coming up to me and I am going to have to say "Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" LOL I wanted to DIE! LOL I smiled of course I couldn't help it, I had butterflies..at the end of the order he had asked for my phone number. I replied with "No, I have a boyfriend and I don't think he'd like that." His reply "I don't care what your boyfriend thinks." (with a grin) So I told him I'd see how things went that maybe I'd see him around. He lived in Goshen at the time and conveniently so did my sister. :) SO....couple months later I had started to hang out with Tyler. Slowly but surely not talking to the boyfriend I had at the time. Hadn't broke things off yet but planned to. Ty did it for me one day when the boyfriend had called to talk to me LOL HILARIOUS! Good riddens boyfriend. So then began our LOVE STORY!

We started officially dating in September 2003 found out we were pregnant 2004 on November 6th, Callen was born June 16th 2005 and we vowed to spend the rest of our lives together on October 15th, 2005. Sure it has been a BUMPY road. We've had our fair share of trials along the way, but I believe it made us stronger. If you can get through what the two of us have been through you can make it through anything else. I LOVE him so so much! I always think of how he stole my heart, how we spent practically EVERY day together. I'd call him in the morning when I got to school. He'd be leaving for school. He'd pick me up from school and we'd hang out at his house most the time until it was 9 and he'd take me home, we'd cuddle in the truck for a bit as if it was going to kill us to be apart for the night and wake up and do it all over again.

We grew up together...Not many are as lucky as us. If I went a day or longer without seeing him it made the wait almost unbearable. I'd run and hug him and kiss him. I am so happy that I fell in love with him. We talked about getting married when I graduated from high school. As you all know we were blessed with a little boy WAY SOONER than we expected, in my heart i believe everything happens for a reason. He saved Tyler's life. If there ever is a day that I feel as if we just aren't getting enough quality time together then I just travel back in time 6 years ago and remember how we fell in love, how almost every waking moment of my day was either spent with Tyler or talking to him on the phone. How he used to hold me and kiss me and tell me that he loves me and it somehow makes everything okay. Our life gets a bit crazy and we don't get to spend them how we used to but we love each other even if we don't get to show each other as much as we'd like. I am so blessed to have him. We have a beautiful little family, 2 adorable kids with the cutest personalities and a home of our own that we build together with our bare hands...Thank you Tyler for vowing to spend this wonderful life with me.

Night night Nappy time

2011-08-23T12:46:00.000-07:00

So I love our nap time, bed time routine. I've always rocked my babies. Why not? They are this little for a brief time in their life. I believe I have a pretty good singing voice so I also sing to them. As they start getting teeth we rock while they drink their milk and then we brush teeth and I give them their binky. This has worked for both my kids. So I have been putting Cambria in her swing and she's seems to be getting uncomfortable so I started just laying her in her crib and She has been doing SO well. I am so proud of her.

I let her take a couple more sips of her milk and I took the cup and I turned on her music and she falls to sleep without a sound. Makes me realize how much she's grown so much. I really miss rocking her but this new routine is just great too because she's showing me that she is able to do this on her own now. She loves sleeping with he receiving blankets, like 3 of them ha ha she sleeps with her glowing music playing seahorse and she never sleeps with her blankets on just up under her chin and head. She sleeps on her belly has since she was about 3 months old. She sleeps from about 930-8 in the morning. She sleeps through the night has since about 9 months old. Glad I have these little facts that I can remember always.

Mama's Girl

2011-08-23T12:27:00.000-07:00

So lately when I get home from work and I start doing the dishes or anytime for that matter Cambria comes and scoots between my legs and sits between legs my legs and the cupboard. Cute because I know she misses me or just wants to be with me. Makes me laugh.

She was sad because she wants to be held and I was busy at the moment. She fell back and as you can see threw a tantrum.

She's reaching for me again so how can I resist. I stop the dishes and I hold her for a bit. I love her so much!

Family bike ride

2011-07-31T18:23:00.000-07:00

We have been itchin to find new ways to spend time as a family and have fun. Ty got a bike and his cousin gave us her barely used bike trailer and so this gave us the perfect opportunity....

To go on a bike ride. I am so out of shape ha ha so hopefully not only with this help us to spend more time outdoors with one another but help to get me back into shape.

Sibling LOVE!

2011-07-31T18:17:00.000-07:00

Relaxing one day watching some cartoons and I looked down to see two of my favorite people intertwined with one another. No fighting or whining, just loving one another.

Cambria absolutely ADORES her big brother! She will kiss him until she turns blue ha ha

He was bouncing her up and down on his tummy and she just screamed out a belly laugh and giggled all over the place. So silly. My kids are so cute and I am so happy they get along.

Cal was showing her where her belly button was. She is learning what all her body parts are and is doing very well. She knows almost everything and for the most part she can show them to you when you ask.

This one is great! My favorite of this whole post. Too funny to see the pair of them like this. Her imitating him once again. Goes to show you how much she looks up to him. So glad I had a boy first so that he can protect her as they grow up.

Favorite face! Her sniffy face. ha ha ha makes me laugh everytime!

My sugar baby! So cute! Love my kids to the moon and back!

Monkey see monkey do

2011-07-31T17:54:00.000-07:00

My little monkey picked up her big brothers back pack and started to play with it and wanted it on her back. She imitated her brother as she has seen him plenty of times grab it and head to school. She is so smart! I had to get pictures...She is so silly!!

The back pack is as heavy as she is I think or as big as she is ha ha but she insisted on lugging it around.

She will be so cute holding her purse. No matter what it is she carries it like a girl. See her little hand daintily flipped. Puts a smile on my face. She is definitely a girl.

I am so thankful to have a little girl. I hope she stays girly. I love her so much! I have the best of both worlds. Dirt, bugs, action figures, legos that make up my little guy and Tu tu's, hair things, dresses and dainty that make up my little sugar baby.

JEEP RIDE

2011-07-31T17:34:00.000-07:00

Callen being the nice, good big brother that he is, he took his little sister for a jeep ride. She loves going for jeep rides. She thinks it's probably the coolest thing.

I think they are getting tired of me taking pictures. Can't miss these little moments though. We will cherish them forever. See her little scowl she is giving? She's recently learned this(not sure who from) ;)

Ty was tipping them up so they both giggled.

Love these cool evenings. It's when we have the most fun outside with our family.

Little Mama

2011-07-10T13:27:00.000-07:00

Cambria is such a cute little mama with her baby dolls. She loves wrapping them up feeding them her sippy cup, giving them plenty of kisses and loves. She sometimes gets mad at them and throws them. ha ha ha I have no idea where she learned this from but it's sometimes very funny to watch her interact with her little babies.

This particular night she wanted the baby to eat with her...

She loves giving them kisses.

And Loves.....

More loves....

Oh my baby is so good to her babies. She just amazes me. I am in awe that she is only 1 and she is just so motherly and she loves wiping there faces with wipes and bounces them and rocks them.

Cambria you are so funny to watch and you are so good to your babies and I know you watch me and I love that you are so smart and imitate me with your cleaning and taking care of your babies. We love you!

4TH Of July

2011-07-05T22:43:00.000-07:00

This year the 4th seemed like it lasted for 4 days. It was fun in an exhausting kind of way. Friday night we bbq'd at my sister's house with her husbands family and watched fireworks. Cambria wasn't sure what to think about the loud ones. They kinds made her jump a little, but then she ooohed and awed after that. Saturday we had a family reunion we went to for most of the afternoon and then Ty's parents and Wraylee came to our house and brought mother goose popcorn with them as well as some BIG fireworks.

Little Cambria swinging with grandma Pat. ( I will get a picture of her one day. She does not like her picture taken) My kids needs something to remember her with someday.

Cambria and I patiently waiting for Tyler to start lighting the fireworks

Cambria is able to eat a lot more now that she knows how to use her teeth instead of just trying to swallow everything so I let her "Dig in" to the Mother Goose popcorn. :) She LOVES it! So funny because she says Mmmm with her high pitched voice.(so adorable by the way)

My handsome husband INpatiently waiting for the sun to set ha ha so he can light the REALLY cool fireworks.

Cambria getting ready to smell the lighter after Ty had it lit. She is so strange LOL she scrunched her nose after and was making a sniffy nose ha ha too funny

Bampa's girl. She loves to see her Gwamma and Bampa :) She runs as fast as she can with her little legs to give them hugs when she sees them.

KISSES XOXOX

My beautiful kids and I. I love them so so much!

This is her throwing a tantrum face. She is getting very good at it by the way. Already and she is only 1.

KISSES for her big brother. XOXOXO

Had a good time this year.Always a good time with family. I love the holidays any holiday really. I love to BBQ and spend time with family. Love you all!

Duck, Duck, Goose

2011-06-25T21:12:00.000-07:00

Salem pond is a fun place to take the kids it'n not far from where we live. It has a park for the kids, Ty can get in his float tube to fish, and we can feed ducks! We had our nephew Alec with us and needed to do something fun to keep the little ones busy. We saw a couple Geese and ducks as well as ducklings. So darn cute! The boys were so exited to see them. They fed them and tried getting close enough to pet them and that didn't work. LOL

Cambria wasn't sure what to think...This is her first time seeing ducks and geese and trying to understand what they were. She seemed to think they were pretty cool. She would point and make barking noises and just study them.

Tyler loves to fish. He loves getting out in his float tube. Quite a workout I'm sure.

The ducks and geese finally came out of the water and onto the land. The boys tried petting them and Cambria wanted very badly to get out of her stroller so she could pet them too but I could see that ending very badly and I didn't feel like jumping in the pond on this particular day.

A good way to spend a warm evening. Thanks honey for the idea.

Splash Pad!

2011-06-20T15:12:00.000-07:00

Rhiannon and I took the kids to the Splash Pad park in Spanish Fork. A nice way to cool down on a hot day. Callen, Alec and Cambria were so exited to see the water.

There they go!! Cambria wasn't so sure at first it was a bit cold.

She was watching the boys run, laugh and play so she'd do the same.

She was looking in the hole and I was hoping she'd loose interest real fast before the water shot up and hit her in the face...

My handsome boy Callen so cute! Love him! He had so much fun!

My nephew Alec equally just as handsome! He is so funny!

Last but not least, my beautiful baby girl. Cambria (Sugar)

Oh how I LOVE LOVE this picture!!! I hardly have any with my kids. She isn't smiling or looking at the camera but I love it regardless.

All the kiddos and I. Becca was with her daddy so she wasn't with us. :( We'll go again though.

My lovely sister Re and Alec. I love her so much! We have so much fun together! I am glad she came with and got out of the house. Her husband is working out of town and I think she is having a hard time and misses him a lot.

AW!!! SISTERS!!! I LOVE YOU RHIANNON!

After the kids grew tired of the water (I know! Is that even possible) LOL we strolled to the park area and played. Cambria loves the swings especially when she is tired. She cried when I took her out of the swing to go check on the boys. Re went and got us Cafe Rio for lunch. YUM YUM

Hey boys! They are playing on the playground. I love this park it's really neat! All kinds of things for the kids to play on and do and it's all new!

They are drying off in the sun.. I think everyone is getting worn out! I think it's about time to go...

Cambria took a cat nap. She'd had it. She was tired. Her allergies acted up and her eye got a little swollen and red.

She had red blotches around the outside so I gave her benadryl and that seemed to help.

Thanks Re it was fun! We'll have to go again!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TY!

2011-06-20T14:44:00.000-07:00

These pictures were taken Fathers Day. On our way home from the family BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa Wildes house Ty and I got to enjoy the quiet car and witness this beautiful sunset together. I wish I would've gotten more pictures this day but thought I'd post anyway.

My husband is an amazing father! He means the world to me and our kids. I honestly am not sure if my life would ever be complete without him in it. We are high school sweet hearts (although we went to different schools) we grew up in the same town and knew of one another and I'd had a crush on him. He asked me out and well here we are 8 years down the road..We essentially grew up together, beat his addiction together, built a home together (with our own hands), and brought 2 precious beautiful babies into this world together. Our son Callen, and five years later our daughter Cambria! We've done so much together. We are SO lucky to have one another. We beat the odds and we've managed to nourish our young love and have watched it grow over the years.. Sure there have been hard times but it's only made us stronger and made us realize that what we have is worth fighting for!

Our kids are OUR world and they've made it such a wonderful world to be in :) <3 Thank you Ty for being the father of our children and the sexiest man of my dreams!!! I <3 YOU!!!! HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy 6th Birthday Callen

2011-06-20T14:22:00.000-07:00

Callen turned 6 on June 16th and we had his party on the 18th we invited family over had a BBQ and planned to do presents and cake and go swimming at the pool. My friend Kera made Callen a Volcano cake. It was AWESOME! It smoked and we put sparklers on the top so it'd spark. She is an amazing job and everyone LOVED it. Not only did it look amazing but it was yummy too!!! Thanks Kera!!!

Callen opened presents after we ate and he got tons of stuff! We bought him a new Nintendo DS lite (which he loved!!!) a case for it to go in and a case to hold his games. We also got him some crocks, socks, and clothes. He got a water gun, legos, galaxy night light, Kung Fu Zhu Zhu pet, armor, and battle arena, a pillow pet, some VERY cute outfits from grandma, a pokemon DS game, and $30 dollars. :) He did pretty well! Loves everything he got.

Time came to sing Happy Birthday and his eyes lit up when he saw the sparklers. He thought this was very cool. He repeatedly tried blowing them out and realized they were not going to blow out so he waited for them to finish sparking.

Happy Birthday to my little man! You've grown so much! You are my handsome little guy! You are so smart and you mean the world to your dad and I and your baby sister!!

Aaaaargh Matey!

2011-05-29T16:27:00.000-07:00

So since we were rained out and didn't want to drive all that way to the zoo and get poured on my mother in law found a 50%off of $30 dollars for Pirate Island! So we thought that was a good deal and jumped on it...the coupon included a large 16 in pizza and 50 tokens. The scenery of the place was just amazing. Really cool. They put a lot of work into the design. Callen was a little frightened when he had to use the restroom, it was down a mine shaft area that was dimly lit.

The kids had a little play place made of a ship it had a slide

Callen started playing an arcade game and I turned to look at Cambria and all the sudden tickets started pouring out of the machine. Callen hit the JACKPOT 1000 TICKETS!!! It was great! Good pizza, great fun and Baskin Robbins ice cream to wrap up the end of our day. :)

Wagon Ride

2011-05-29T16:19:00.000-07:00

This evening we are out visiting and mingling with neighbors, this time of the day is when our street is the busiest I'd say. It's the best time of the day because everyone is outside playing and visiting after a long days work. We brought our wagon out so Our friends daughter could pull the babies around. (plus it has seat belts)

This is Cambria and Oakley in the wagon together. They are not even a month apart in age so it's kinda fun to watch them play together.

Callen running down the street pulling Raegan in the other wagon....Not sure if this looks so safe...I told him to slow it down. Love this picture though, they are having a BLAST!

Cambria and Raegans' turn in the wagon.

Hard to try to get both the babies attention to get a great picture. They were both waving while they were being pulled, as if they were in a parade. ha ha ha

Good times. I love our neighbors we all have so much fun when we are all out visiting. We all hibernate in the winter and so when spring and summer come around our street comes to life. It's been a long winter and so it was fun seeing the newest additions to our street (babies) and the ones who were about to add some more little additions and how their bellies have grown ha ha and how last years additions have grown so much! I am lucky to live on a street with so many good people and their kids. My kids will grow up in a great community.

Bring on the Tooth Fairy!

2011-05-24T16:30:00.000-07:00

Callen lost a tooth today!! His very first tooth. It's been loose for about 2 weeks I'd say. I asked him a couple days ago if we could pull it and he wasn't going to budge. It was a big fat "NO"! Well today as we sit and watch cartoons I see him playing with it. I asked if I could see how loose it was and if we could pull it. His face looked like he had seen a ghost, wide eyes and a frown and said "It'll hurt"! I said "no it won't, I promise". After a few minutes of persuasion and a pinky promise not to pull it, he let me look.

I told him it was so wiggly that I bet it'd come out really easy...He cried a min and I told him to grab some tissue so that the Tooth Fairy could come tonight and he did. One yank and out it came! He looked like he was about to cry and then he smiled and that turned into a little laugh. I asked if it'd hurt and he said "no" and smiled and said "see?, I told you so". :)

Here is his toothless smile......:)

Here is his little tiny baby tooth.

Back in touch

2011-05-24T12:02:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago my grandparents from my dad's side got in touch with me by E-mail and FB. I know them the best when it comes to my dad's side. They came to visit me all the time when I was young and they've managed to get back in touch with me throughout the years. I love them. I feel even though I don't see them or haven't for some time I still know them. I was flown to Missouri more then ten years ago to stay with them at their lovely secluded home on the lake and I enjoyed every second (except for when the scorpion fell through the fan from the ceiling in the bathroom one night). ha ha ha They are truly wonderful people. Kind, resourceful and just so pure in their way of living. They just have a peaceful way of living life and just amaze me with their lifestyle. I remember their enormous garden or so it seemed that way to me..I remember the incense, oils, meditation and cats. I loved that visit and will forever remember it.

We received a package yesterday from her. She said she was going to send the kids some things My husband was here when it arrived and opened it. They sent Callen a camouflage coat that he loves and looks so handsome in. It fits perfectly!! Hoping it still fits come winter. Crossing our fingers. It will be useful on rainy days and cold summer nights and camping of course. I LOVE IT! First camouflage coat he's ever owned.

He's even wearing it while playing the Xbox. LOL He isn't feeling well so forgive the face...
They sent Cambria this flower headband (So cute) a princess dress and skirt. Love purple on her! She walks around so proud with her princess dress on. She knows she looks pretty in it LOL the little feathery parts tickle her face and she just giggles. Her first dress up dress and she looks adorable in it and loves it!

Thanks grandma and grandpa! We really love the gifts as well as the kids! Very thoughtful of you! I am so glad we got in touch and are talking again. Wished there weren't so many miles separating us though. Thanks again. LOVE YOU!!! XOXOXO

Shopping in our fridge

2011-05-24T11:47:00.000-07:00

Cambria LOVES to get into everything she is not suppose to... but when she climbed in the fridge I had to get pictures.

She is actually standing in the fridge and thinks this is really neat.

Of course then loves shutting doors so she was all over this one. She stepped out of the fridge wanted to grab a couple more things and I asked her to shut the door and she did.

Silly post but I had to post it because she's so funny.

Cambria being silly

2011-05-24T11:27:00.000-07:00

We went for a walk on this day it was a good nice day in between all the rainy ones we've been having. She was ready to go with her sippy and graham cracker fish. We've been able to pull her hair up now which I love to do because she looks ready, she can't pull it out as easily as she can the bows, and it keeps her bangs out of her face.

Later she was being so silly! Walking around talking her jibberish and mixing with some words we understand, nodding her head and walking around. Next thing ya know...................

She's managed to pull her shirt up behind her head!!! Ha Ha Ha thought this was hilarious so I had to get the video camera out. My guess this is as far as she got in the attempt of taking off her shirt.

Her again later showing us her favorite sniffy face looking as if she tried taking her other shirt off too.

Kindergarten Graduation

2011-05-24T10:50:00.000-07:00

Callen graduated from Kindergarten last Thursday May 19th 2011. He was exited to be done, only because that meant that summer is on it's way which meant his birthday was coming up and he'd be turning 6. He keeps asking if his birthday is the next day and I have to keep telling him "not for a couple more weeks" and he gets a frustrated look on his face. I assure him it'll be here before he knows it. :) So back to graduation I got video of the program. Callen singing and being shy and even telling the kid off behind him LOL but here are some pictures that I got as well.

I am so proud of Callen!! He is so handsome and he has learned so much this year in school. He went from knowing his A B C's and just some simple basics to writing, reading, doing math and even reading problems and working through them. He has just grown so much in the last year. It's amazing what he has learned and is still learning and yet his journey has only just begun.

These are some pictures of him holding his Kindergarten Diploma.

Last but not least Callen standing with his ever so patient, wonderful, loving teacher Mrs. Evans! She has been so wonderful to us and Callen. Due to my schedule at work I'd have to take him to school sometimes fifteen min early and she was willing to accommodate us and was glad to have him. She has taught him so much and is just an all around great lady! Thanks for giving my son such a wonderful kindergarten experience.

Visiting Tooele

2011-05-17T10:08:00.000-07:00

Went to Tooele last week on Friday to visit my best friend Beth and little miss Harbor and newly born baby Camden. It's an hour and a half drive there from my house. Thank goodness Cambria sleeps almost the whole time and Callen is very patient and plays his Nintendo DS. It's always a good visit when we go there. Our lives our crazy now with two kids each we have to drive separate cars if we want to go anywhere due to the lack of a mini van LOL I don't think we really sat down until after the park when Cambria and Camden napped and it was quiet time. ( I think this was invented for parents by the way ). We went to the park and met up with one of Harbor's dance friends and her mom...Cambria loves the swing she thinks it's fun, you can tell because she squeals the whole time and smiles and giggles. She likes going a bit high.
She started getting tired towards the end of the hour and a half that we had been there so soon she had her binki and was quiet in the swing, almost ready to fall asleep. Figured it was time to go back to Beth's for nap and quiet time.
When we were having quiet time we had to get some pics of baby Camden and his momma. Beth is such an amazing mom and just looks beautiful in these pictures! Who am I kidding... looks beautiful all the time! She is just glowing even after having her new bundle of joy.
Look at how cute he is!!! Looks just like his dad and Harbor! He is such a good baby, practically slept the whole time I was there. He is still so little. I cuddled him on the couch for awhile. Beth wanted him to wake up but he just wanted to sleep and I was okay with it because I miss cuddling my little baby when she was that small.
I am so glad we were able to go and visit! I just love her and her cute little family! I know we are always welcome even if it's only for 6 hours :) Thanks for letting us come visit! LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY DEAR CAMBRIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

Cambria's 1st birthday was bittersweet. She was reaching a very large milestone

in her little life. She has brought so much joy to our family! She is such a great

addition. I am lucky to have a little girl. They are so much fun! Cute clothes, hair

things, just something about their dainty voices and girly ways makes it a total

different experience. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. It's just so

surreal. She has learned so much and grown so much. Going through all these

new experiences and watching her grow, learn and discover the world around her

has been amazing!!

We decided to do an animal print theme for her birthday! Turned out to be really cute!

This is an idea i saw and loved so I decided to do this for her party. A picture of

her every month since the day she was born. Her hair has grown so much as

well as her hair : P

Opening presents was definately a different experience. :) She was more interested

in the wrapping paper and walking around then opening her presents. HA HA but

after all she is 1. She got ten outfits, all of them very cute, one of them from a boutique can

I say ADORABLE!!! came with bloomers that had a cupcake and candle on the bum and

a black headband with jewels on it, booties, and a dress with ribbons on it. ( I think perfect

for 1 yr pictures!!) , a push and ride toy, a little rubber cow that rolls,

V tech Jewelry box, A baby alive, doll that has a heart that glows, (a favorite) seahorse

that glows like a glow worm and plays melodies, she sleeps with it. :) two pairs of Jammies

Hair ribbons, a squishy ball, froggy camping chair, and $20. We think she got a lot of great

presents! Thank you everyone!

She wasn't sure about having a cake all to herself and getting it on her hands...She's

not one that likes her hands sticky or dirty HA HA HA I know, crazy right? But

once we were cheering and laughing she knew it'd be okay and dug right in! I think

she got a bit of a sugar rush. She's not had much sugar so she was really Exited!

Love you Cambria, hope you had the best 1st birthday party!!! Thanks to all

the family that came and friends (BETH and HARBOR) ; ) Beth and Harbor

surprised us! Didn't think she'd be coming, didn't expect her at all since she

just gave birth 5 days earlier to Camden. Bless her heart she and Harbor drove

all this way leaving Camden with grandma Phyllis just so they wouldn't miss

Cambria 1st birthday! True best friend! Love her to the moon!!! Thanks Everyone

Truly the icing on the cake!

A day at the Park

2011-04-26T09:09:00.000-07:00

Tyler is such a good dad! He is just a big kid when it comes to spending time and playing with our kids. So glad he has a boy he can rough around with, shoot, wrestle and fish with. A girl he can snuggle and love and swing with. :)

Not quite sure what Cambria thought of the metal horse. It was probably a bit cold not to mention hard. She didn't seem to interested.

Callen always has a handsome smile for me. He likes the the teeter horse. :)

The weather has been so unpredictable lately so it's been very hard to make any plans. Well last Sunday we were busy cleaning and getting things done around the house and the weather was pretty nice so we decided to take advantage of this window of good weather and take the kids to the park. This would be Cambrias first time to the park or in a swing. So this was an exiting trip.

I think that it's giving her butterflies in her belly? What do ya think...I think the smile tells it all.

Callen being such a good big brother, wanted to take Cambria down the slide.

Walking

2011-04-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

Cambria is WALKING!!! She has been walking really well for about a week and a half. She has mastered walking with her toys, turning around while walking, standing up without having to pull herself up, and bending down to pick things up and standing back up! We're so proud! She gets ahead of herself and tries running and most of the time falls. This makes her so mad. She will be turning 1 in a week and 1 day. She is so smart! Here are some pictures of her walking.....

Rub a dub dub

2011-04-24T22:56:00.000-07:00

Cambria loves bath time!!! She is ready to jump in trying to swing her leg over the side of the tub before I can even get her undressed! She likes to lay on her back and just make noises if her ears are under water. So silly. She likes to play with toys in there as well but also likes to throw them out too and get water everywhere.

Love her cute chubby bum! She also is standing up in the tub but understands what sit on your butt means too. So soon as I see her stand or begin to stand I ask her to sit down and she falls back on her butt and makes a big splash. I think she enjoys that part.

Her favorite bath toys are the rubber animals that can squirt the water. She likes to squirt it into her mouth.

Falling behind ALOT!!

2011-04-24T22:23:00.000-07:00

Our little Cambria during Christmas opening her book listening to the music coming from the book.

I LOVE this face!!!

My two little munchkins!

Callen's 5th birthday party

Graduating Pre School!! So proud!

I have so much to catch up on..We just bought a laptop so now it will be much easier to post!!! I am exited to get my blog going..My kids are growing up so fast. Callen is nearing the end of his Kindergarten year. He has just soaked up every thing he has been taught during this year. He reads, he can add and subtract, figure out story problems. I am just so proud of him! He is getting more and more freckles as the years go on. He still looks just like his daddy, very handsome. A smile to die for :) He can be shy sometimes but i'd say for the most part he is loud like me and just speaks his mind. He has a wonderful imagination. Loves playing with legos and anything he can build. He could sit there forever as long as he's building a masterpiece. He loves his little sister to pieces. He has done so well with her. He helps out so much and plays with her and is protective of her. He always thinks of her. We love him so much he's a handsome smart little guy!

Cambria will be turning 1 here shortly, May 4th to be exact. She has just really put a finishing touch on our family! She is such a hoot! Love her so much! She says Thank you, Hello (when she sees my cell phone) Da Da, Ma Ma, Ba Ba...and a lot of jibberish! So cute love it! We are planning to do an animal print themed birthday party! I cannot wait! Having a little girl is so fun between the pink, the bows, the dresses and they have such a bigger selection. I am so very blessed to have one of each. Cambria is walking and carrying things as she walks is just so fun to her. She just has this smile about her when she walks. She is so proud of herself! She has the cutest personality, makes the silliest faces. She sleeps like a stink bug and gives kisses mouth wide open and tongue sticking out. Ah got to love it! Grandma just bought her squeaky shoes, she loves them! Thinks they are cool, a squeak with every step :)

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful little family!! They bring me such joy and happiness!

Tooele Visit

2010-08-06T12:03:00.000-07:00

Visiting Tooele is a favorite! Long drive (especially when you have kids) but well worth it once we get there! Beth is my amazingly, wonderful best friend that I've had since I was young. It's fun to get together especially now that we both have kids, a little crazy I might add but fun. :P

Changing Cambrias bum on Harbor Changing table dresser.

Harbor loves her babies and anything to do with babies. She cracks me up because she sits in the car seat and walker and just wants to play in all the baby stuff so silly! So we had to get pictures because she is so big in here.

Cambria is three months old in this visit.

Hi baby girl! Sitting up so big! I believe we took same pictures of Callen when he was a baby in this exact same spot almost 6 years ago.

Love the crossing of the Piggies!

Thanks for letting us come and visit Aunt Beth we love coming to your house! I cherish any picture I have with my kids, I don't have many because I am usually the one taking the pictures LOL

Our little doll

2010-05-23T16:47:00.000-07:00

Cambria Brookelynn Wilde, Our doll!! She is growing so fast! I can't

believe she will be 3 weeks in two days...It's gone by fast but slow at the

same time. I don't want to go back to work so soon but looks like it'll be

the week of the 7th. : ( Atleast it's only part time, I can be greatful for

that. We're starting to get out of the house more often now. It's much

easier to do so when Tyler is home. She is really holding her head up now

and she is doing much better at burping. She is still smiling once in awhile

at us when we talk to her. I can tell she is going to have a contagious smile.

Starting to get thing hung in her room. We have a HUGE shelf that my

father-in-law made, Letters of her name to hang from the shelf with ribbon,

a sign that Aunt Beth got her LOVE it! The colors match perfectly!! and

last but not least a frame with some photos of her and her name, weight, height, birthday and time etched in the glass. Far from finished but it's a

start right? Now for Callen's room. He has a HUGE shelf as well doing same

thing with his as we're doing with Cambria's shelf and now what to do

for the rest? It'll be nice to have their rooms finished. : ) Cambria's 2 mth

appointment is the 5th of July I just hope once I go back to work that time

doesn't go by as fast as I think it will. Cal will be starting kindergarten this

year!! So crazy..he is so exited as are we but still sad it's that time already.

Our Growing Family

2010-05-19T19:30:00.000-07:00

So Cambria is 2 weeks and 1 day old today. Time has flown by... I may have to go back to work June 4th. I am so sad to go back so soon. I know she'll be in good hands though with my child care provider. She is amazing!! Callen LOVES his little sister always asks to hold her and if he can kiss and hug her. Which of course he can anytime. Helps so so much with her! Glad I waited this long to have another. I hope Callen doesn't feel neglected...I feel like he isn't getting as much of our time. That is the only hard thing with the age difference, he isn't as dependant there for I don't get to wait on him like I would if he were younger so it'd feel like I was spending more time. I hope he still feels loved. This has been a big struggle for me since I was becoming further along in my pregnancy. I get so emotional over it all. Having another little one means Callen is growing up. Not only that it's been just us 3 I didn't know how we were going to make Callen feel included and not pushed out of the picture. I still stress over this...Does it get better?? Will I ever feel like I am robbing my son of his time with me? I feel like I am not enough mom for both...I just hope he knows We love him so much and she is a great addition to our family..We feel more like a family! She has been so great...fussier than I remember Callen being but she is still nothing to complain about. She is so fun! She smiles when we talk to her while she is awake (I know its not just gas) She is holding her head up already so well! We can't decide who she really looks like...I think there is maybe a fair down the middle of both of us. Guess we'll see as she grows.

Baby Cambria is HERE

2010-05-05T09:39:00.000-07:00

Very fast and easy labor & delivery

So thankful to have her here and for my family and friends for all their support.

Will blog shortly, with more pics

Delightful Life

2010-01-25T12:09:00.000-08:00

Yes we are having a girl this time around. : ) I am 25 weeks pregnant and huge! Already! Due May 10Th the day after mothers day! We'll see when she decides to come.. Our ultrasound was December 21 which was the beginning of my 20Th week. Our intentions were to wait and find out on Christmas Day which was the best Christmas Present anyone could ask for. Well I didn't peek the whole time during the ultrasound and I called Ty as soon as I left my Dr office so I could tell him the baby was healthy and all limbs and fingers were there. LOL he begged me to spill the beans...I figured he didn't need to be there at the appointment if we weren't finding out what it was and we would have a disc to watch later. Needless to say I held my ground and when we got off phone I called my bestie Beth and she begged me as well. By this time I was exited to find out as well...So I called Ty back told him and then called Beth. We didn't tell anyone else until Christmas Eve My father in law had a hunch it was a girl and he was right! Callen was a little disappointed I thought he was going to cry LOL he is getting more use to the idea though every time we say her name he asks who?? Then I explain... My Beth came down to help paint the nursery. Had plans to paint Callen's room as well as mine and Ty's well I think I forgot how hard it was to do things with a 2 year old around lol but we did finish the nursery : ) The rest of the weekend and into the following Tues I finished the other rooms. So glad to be done! It looks so nice! Callen loves it. I did all the rooms the same tan color that way it'd be easier to incorporate the ever changing styles and colors the kids will go through. Oh to hear me say that...Kids plural I will have two of them. Callen has to be enrolled for kindergarten by the end of January..I better get on that. I am not a very punctual person I need to improve that in myself. My little boy is growing up and sure he is in pre school but it won't be the same. This will be every day for 5 days out of the week...God help me, it is so hard watching him grow up.. Tyler was finally hired on back in November after working there through a temp agency for a year. Hallelujah we needed it! He loves his job and works fifty hours a week. I am so thankful to Ty for working that much so that I only have to work part time. ; ) I will post pictures soon enough I have a lot to catch up on.

2010-01-16T18:47:00.000-08:00

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

Were excited to announce that we are having a baby girl.

She is due May 10th, we will name her Cambria. Not sure of the middle name yet

FALL is here!!!

2009-10-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

There will be no pictures in this blog. I have an issue with my camera card....IT'S FULL!! What has the world come to??? I need to replace it or simply just put everything on a flash drive. I didn't think it was possible though, my camera holds a thousand pictures! So my day off today Callen off to pre-school. They are doing a work out class today learning about staying healthy. Callen LOVES going to school! He learns so much and always brings cute arts and crafts home. I LOVE his teacher/care giver. Mrs. Rachel. She is amazing! Such a relief when you find someone as great as her to watch your kid.

We are Expecting our 2ND Child sometime in May i am predicting we will find out for sure date and month this coming Monday morning. We are happy have been trying since earlier this year. I am also afraid. Can i do this, two kids??? I am also having a hard time with Callen growing up and all. My baby is growing up. It truly goes by too fast. I try to be optimistic and just think of all the good times we've had and will continue having rather than dwelling on the fact that he is getting older. Most parents say that my feelings will change that when time comes I will be shoving him through the front door with all of his belongings and be happy about it. I don't see that day EVER coming.. I love him so much!

Well I am so exited Fall is here! As most of you know Halloween is my favorite holiday. I still haven't decorated..to be honest I don't have that much and they are in the corner of my basement of course with piles and piles of stuff in front of it I just haven't had the ambition to go and get them. I have been so sick with morning sickness its ridiculous!! So today the goal is to get Halloween out!! I want to go get 3 hay bails to put on my porch as well as some pumpkins. Get my Halloween lights up and everything!! Wish me luck ha ha

A DAY OF FUN!

2009-09-15T09:59:00.000-07:00

This waterfall is up Payson canyon I had the boys and thought it'd be fun to go get lunch at Wendy's and go to park and eat before hiking to the Garato. We finally got up there and the boys loved it. They'd been there before but still a fun day. On the way up there there are logs to walk across and a windy path fun to hike. We stopped to get a picture. They were sword fighting with sticks and exploring.

The Water is BRRRRR COLD! I made them stop what they were doing in the water so I could get a pic of their chattering teeth and faces ha ha still wanted to play in it when it was cold. Silly kids
Callen running through water! He was so cold and wet when he was through and it was time to hike back down. They all were. I thought for sure Taygan was going to get in trouble for getting his tenny shoes wet. So after being wet, cold and muddy we hopped in the truck to drive back down the canyon.

BIRTHDAY BASH

2009-09-15T09:50:00.000-07:00

She is obsessed with her babies this is good hopefully it shows she will be a great mother one day! The boys being silly of course. We were at Payson park for her birthday party and they were running around being silly! Callen LOVES his cousins he kinda grew up with them like they were his brothers. They all have so much fun!

2009-09-15T09:14:00.000-07:00

Her oldest daughter Laury and my sister Rhiannon grew up being best friends. Our families have known each other for a long time. I was so grateful for her and everyone else that has taken care of me throughout my life I have grown up with so many different experiences and lifestyles and am a better person for it. Thank you all. So due to this new family i have 4 more sisters and a brother Shad. Happy to have them all.

This is Laury and her family Husband Daniel son Jayden and daughter Bianca! I don't see them often enough. Bianca and Jayden are just growing up so fast.

A LONG ROAD TO SOBRIETY

2009-07-27T23:05:00.000-07:00

So I am about to speak of a topic that most people would rather sweep under the rug. It is very real to us and too familiar. As most of you know Ty and I got together almost 5 years ago...We were young. About 10 months later Tyler had come to me with devastating news, something I suspected but didn't want to come to terms with. He told me he needed help, this crushed me. My boyfriend of almost a year was a heroin addict. How could I not know?? I kept asking myself. Naive, thinking this would be hard but would be over with soon. Little did I know what we were in for. We went to Ty's family I told them he needs help, I told them he came to me but was too afraid to ask them for help. We soon visited our family Dr. In need of any help or advice he could give us. He prescribed him Oxycontin to wein him from a dangerous addiction. Without this method Tyler could have died from withdrawals.

Two weeks later we would revisit our Dr. not for Ty but for me...WE WERE PREGNANT! How at this time in our crazy lives could we be having a baby? This I believed was a gift from god. This is what helped Tyler stay strong and stay on the path to becoming sober one day. We were so scared at first! We knew in our hearts no questions asked we were keeping this baby! Well back to Ty and Oxycontin soon came another drug and another drug. Thinking he was clean, boy was a wrong. I will never know if he tried Heroin after we left the Dr. office. I know he was addicted to the pills now. Trying so many different methods soon coming to Suboxone then methadone and back to our regular Dr. who vowed to help Ty get out of this mess. So he started Ty on Methadone in 2008 just last year, controlling his dosage and monitoring him every two weeks to three weeks then to four weeks. Ty was doing really well. With every return appointment came a lower dosage and lower quantity and With Tyler's Strength and willingness and readiness to be DONE he was in January 2009! This is a dedication to his sobriety for 6 mths and 23 days!! I am sooo Proud of him!

Tyler is such an amazing person! I have never known him clean...this was scary for me. Its finally like he is alive, living his life for the first time in 5 years! He is more outgoing and exited about life! He has changed so much its almost night and day! I look up to him and thank god for Saving the love of my life and our family! I wouldn't want to be without him. Tyler is such an amazing person and has inspired me in so many ways. That is such a difficult task and he Concorde it! So I know this was a long story and sometimes people are surprised to hear this about him and us but people need to know...Need to know that it can be done! There is hope! You just CAN'T GIVE UP EVER!!! Keep faith and hope. This song you are hearing on my page is Tyler's song dedicated to him. He showed this song to me the other day and I asked him to tell me what it was about and he said I'd know once I listened. So I did, Ty started it for me then left the room come the chorus I knew what it was about and I looked back to see Ty standing and tears rolling down his face...This was his life and how he feels about his sobriety in this song, as if someone wrote this especially for him. I stood up walked over to him and we both cried. It has been such a long road! Its always going to be there, But we are strong he IS STRONG and can keep his sobriety! I BELIEVE IN HIM! I love you Babe!

FUN AT GOSHEN DAYS

2009-07-27T21:43:00.000-07:00

This is at Goshen Days, held around the 24th of July of every year. They do a parade and an all day event for the kids and then usually a rodeo and fun things throughout the day. We LOVE Goshen Days! I know LAME but maybe it is just the fact that we are with the ones we love and people we care for and have known for a very long time, such as our friends we grew up with, friends of the family or family or just plain ole Goshen Folk. Its a nice little town and the people are nice. Everyone knows everyone its kinda like that song "Were all famous in a small town" Everyone knows your business whether you want them to or not sometimes that's a good thing or a bad thing.

They had a really cool set up out there of Army vehicles, the kids really loved that they got to sit in them and see what its like to be on the inside. Maybe one day they will be serving our country...

So these little doo hickies (blow up bouncies) are Callens favorite! Wraylee is so afraid of everything she wont even look at it poor thing. Callen would jump in there all day if I let him! It took a little while to actually get him out ha ha ha Wish we had one at home!

Oh my gosh! I LOVE this pic and Ty will too one day he will thank me. There aren't many of just the two of them. Hard to think about this day but when the day comes that our parents are gone he'll be glad he has this picture. They look so much alike! Its a good thing they have good looking genes in the family! :) I am glad I got this pic!

Cal Fishin away just like his daddy! He thought this was fun! Smart little guy knew there wouldn't be a REAL fish...he loved the little fun toys though. Did it about 4 times and each time got something different...

Callen and Wray took a second trying to figure out how these worked...They figured it out and thought they were pretty cool!

Ah...its a moment! Wray LOVES her uncle Tyler always the first to give him a hug. She just adores him I think! Same with Grampa Terri! She just loves them. I think she is given him a hug just because she could LOL He kneeled down to fix Callens toy and she took advantage of his height and ran to give him a hug, cutest thing ever!

This is the BIG BLOW UP WATER SLIDE! Cal was so exited to go down it. He ripped of his shirt kicked off his flip flops and climbed on up! Like I said these bouncie things he loves em. This look on his face is priceless, poor thing he was scared coming down though I think he bounced and caught some air and seeing all that cold water down at the bottom didn't help much either I don't think. He went once more and that was it for the Water slide. He wanted nothing more to do with it. Maybe just too cold or it really scared him. Who knows but I wasn't going to make him to it again.

CAMPING IN NO MANS LAND

2009-07-14T12:12:00.000-07:00

This is Provo waterfalls, just the beginning of what would be a LONG drive to our campsite! So we have had the worst luck lately with Ty's truck so while we got a part for the truck (we had to wait 2 hours for) I just told my aunt and uncle to head up without us. Just to leave us plates so we could find them. Well the last most crucial plate of all wasn't there when we arrived to a T in the road...Yeah so we went left HA HA HA by this time we had been driving for 4 hours and had no intent to turn back once we had hit end of road as far as we could go and there was no aunt or uncle. Sooo we set up camp and made dinner and slept...

The next morning Ty and Greg went to check out the river to see if they could fish. Cal ate cereal and went back to sleep. Tracy was up so I decided to get up too. Well the river was too fast to fish and well we decided to pack up and head to mirror lake to fish... I had to wake poor Cal up... He needed the sleep though he is very much like his mom in that way. We LOVE sleep!

Our GOOD friends Tracy and Greg came with us thank god they always make everything that much more interesting and fun! We love these guys to death! We have so much fun and just think of random stuff to do and always come up with new fun things to do sporadically!

In the Uintas Camping in East Forks Blacks Fork Bear river ha ha pretty much almost to Wyoming We always have a lot of fun camping! We love being in the outdoors! Ty and Greg LOVE to fish, it is insane how much they love fishing ha ha Tracy fishes sometimes...Me on the other hand I just cant bring myself to put a worm on a hook or touch the fish so I am not the one to be fishing. Ty would rather be out in his float tube then on shore or I'm sure he'd do all that for me lol

SOON TO BE MR. AND MRS. LOADER!!! Coming this FALL!!!

4TH OF JULY

2009-07-14T11:40:00.001-07:00

Yay the 4th of July is here!!! So much fun, barbeques and fireworks and a margarita! LOL This year Ty was late getting home from fishing so Cal and I had to go and watch fireworks without him. Made me sad I really wanted him to be there with us. I realized once I had been there for 1 1/2 hours that I could have waited for him but I was afraid we'd miss them so I left...Wish he could have been there with us!

Cal wanted to take some funny pics lol so here I am ha ha ha We had a blast we went to the BYU museum building and layed out a blanket and started eating the snacks we brought. Popcorn, licorice, and gummies! The lady next to us gave Cal these glow sticks he was so happy they shared with us! They were really nice Cal became friends with the little boy. Tee Hee

What is this silly face??? LOL he is so funny I dont know what i would do without my silly boy! he and Ty are what make my world go round! I love them so much. Callen just gets funnier every day. He is always doing and saying the funnies things...

We are at home doing some Fireworks.. We dont usually buy much on the 4th you are always guaranteed to be abe to watch them somewhere so we will buy them for the 24th. We are sitting on the porch swing waiting for dad to light some flowers and fountains...

Father and son! The loves of my life!!! What would I do without them? They look so much alike! Almost identical... Callen loves his daddy so much. Every morning we wake up he always asks where he is. He just looks up to him so much! I am glad Tyler is his dad, he is such a good Dad!

Man O Man Do i LOVE HIM!!! We have rough days but at the end of the night you'd think nothing ever happened. We are still so in love!! Together for 5 years in Sept and Married for 4 years in October, how time flies!

OUR SWIMMING DAY

2009-07-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

We went swimming at our pool First time we've been this year. Last year Callen was horrible with water. I never thought he'd swim again. As all of you know his birthday is in June (lucky bugger) So every year since he has turned 1 I have made it a goal to take him swimming. Well we never had a problem until last year. We went to seven peaks for his birthday and it was a disaster!!! If you can imagine a cat clinging to a shirt and just dipping that cat in the water...that was cal! Clinging to everything he could with all of his might! ha ha of course that was me!! I felt sad to have had him hate it so bad being that was his birthday and all. I thought he'd never get over the fear...Now look at him!!! He just LOVES LOVES LOVES the water! Makes me so happy! How would it be to have a summer birthday and fear the water??? He loves it so much there almost is no fear at all, which scares the heck out of me. He will plug his nose and jump in! You almost wouldnt believe that he was so fearful of it last year.
He goes down the slides constantly almost the whole time we are at the pool. He loves them. Tried going backwards, on his belly and backwards on his back, till the lifeguard told him no more lol He is my little evil kenievel ha ha ha Definately ALL BOY!
Rebeccah is Callens cousin, she and her brother and mom came with us on this day! It was a blast she is 6 and knows a little about swimming...She has a ball with it! Callen tries to keep up with her but she is a bit more advanced in the water than she is..

At the top of the slide, you'd think he thought he was at the top of the world!! He waits patiently for his turn(most of the time) but cant wait until its his turn to slide down! Then its a race to get back up tp the top so that he can do it all over again.

My older sister and my nephew Alec...She was worried about getting wet i think lmao I told her we weren't going to pool to look HOT we were going to play with our kids...That's Re for ya though. Alec is a bit timid in the water...I dont think he has been swimming much! He eventually warmed up to it though..! He was cold almost the whole time. Crazy boy!

WILDE BARBEQUE

2009-07-14T08:54:00.000-07:00

We go to Ty's Grandparents house as often as we can. They live in Eureka which isnt far but by the time we both get home from work we are tired. A lot of the times we go up are for the barbeques! So much fun, family come and their are always about 5-7 kids. They have a blast! All the grandkids Love going to Grandma and Grandpa Wildes!

Ty usually brings his guitar and plays when we are done eating or while were waiting for food. Tyler is so talented! I dont think he even knows how talented and smart he is. Cal loves to help him play with the pick and loves to watch his daddy play. Everyone just sits silently as they listen to Ty play.

All the kids have so much fun gettting together and playing. They have such great imaginations!! I wish we as adults still had them. Something you can never get back. The kids are playing superheros. We just got through playing frisby and now that they've worn all us adults out they have to keep themselves busy ha ha ha They usually play so well together and are constantly entertained up there!

Ooooh Look at those scary faces LOL They are so much fun to watch....

This is grandpas fountain and a magnet for all the kids...They play with their action figures and splash in it. Last year Callen actually fell head first in it LOL too funny. He was extra careful this year to not make the same mistake! He just laughs now grandpa always asks him when he will do that cool trick again ha ha ha
