Our little Man in the leaves

Thanks to Suzee we got our fall family pictues! (ps for those following our day to day- I have to apologize to Suz- She did know what a tin foil dinner was, just hadn't had one before and didn't know how to make them...We love you Suzee!) Tyler was so facinated with the leaves, it was hard to get him to look up and smile at us. He loves being outside though. He has his two bottom teeth now and loves to sharpen them on mom and dad's fingers much to our pleadings. He rolls around everywhere and if given the choice he'd walk with our help everywhere (just doesn't have the balance yet) He stares at pretty girls and charms them all with his smiles (I'm afraid of what I have ahead of me in a few years...) Uncle Dave came down last week and we had lots of fun hanging out with him.
Brian played volleyball last Wednesday at the church, flag football on Saturday and now he can barely walk, can't move his arm and hurts all over... we're just hoping he didn't tear anything.
Katie's had a rough week with Tyler not sleeping at night... makes her a bit grumpy during the day :) (I was very grateful for the 4 hour nap Brian gave me yesterday!!!!) We went out and picked pumpkins yesterday I love the fall- now if only the snow would hold off for another 2 months

Tyler likes to help mom out in the mornings trying to get the house in order.... and he likes to unfold the laundry and play peek a boo in the basket

Somedays I just can't get enough pictures taken of him. It seems like Tyler is changing faster than I can click the shutter... He's got two front teeth, starting to get the army crawl down, and loves to play with his puppies. This morning he and Harley decided they were going to play tug of war. Tyler did a pretty good job holding on and Harley did a good job of letting Ty win. We were taking family pictures for a family in our ward and of course Ty had to be the geuine pig to make sure the settings were right. I was lucky to get this smile as he wasn't feeling very good.

We went camping down in Kodachrome Basin a few weeks ago with some friends the Andersons. We taught them all about tin foil dinners and dutch oven cooking... I never knew there were people out there that didn't know what a tin foil dinner was... ha ha we had lots of fun. Suzee and I went to BYU together and had fun doing our "photogy" stuff with our husbands and kids. It was perfect during the day for hiking and then got really cold at night. But we just bundled up close to the fire. Tyler loved being outside. He didn't want to go into the tent when it was time for bed! Even though it was perfect hiking weather the first day the second day the clouds rolled in and down poured on us. It was lots of fun! Here's just a few fun shots

Yum... watermellon. I said I wanted real food but I don't know about this

Our big day! August 25. 2007

This definately goes down in the books for one of the best days ever! I couldn't help but smile all day long. It started out wonderful with many family and friends joining us at our house for Tyler's blessing. There we had about 60 of our closest friends and family there to share in that great blessing. I'm really not sure how everyone fit, but we all did. Then the day just got better and better as Brian, Tyler and I headed to the Temple to be sealed for Time and All Eternity. Things were a little hetic for our sealing- Tyler had a major diaper blow out just before we left for the temple, but once inside the sealing room peace and love was all I felt. It was so neat to see everyone that was able to come and be with us. I will never forget when the Sealer had Brian and I holding Tyler look into the mirror- I was able to see for just a second what Heaven is like.

Our first family picture.... Ty was smiling so big cuz he had just peed all over Brian!
