cOngrAtUlaTIonS, brinkley and richy...

my beautiful cousin brinkley got married on friday. i wish you both all the happiness in the world. i love you Mr. and Mrs. Peterson.

helping hands tend to be messy hands...
i was making some choc chip cookies and ky decided that she wanted to be my special helper. by the time i noticed what she was doing the damage was already done....so i let her continue to play in the flour.

what a sad little face. ky was so upset when i told her it was time to get off the counter and put the flour away.

best seat in the house...
so kysa has discovered that she can not only open the drawers, but she can get in them. i found her chillin in the kitchen the other day and thought it would make a great photo op.

what a little stinker! but i love her, she is so much fun. i can't believe all the new things she is doing. my baby isn't so much a baby anymore.

my halloween monsters...Paxton decided to be Harry Potter this year. he looked so cute and was so excited. the first day he had his costume he was waving his wand and doing spells on us all. in fact, just in case you didn't know paxton turned wyatt in to a bucket! paxton made such a good harry potter.

wyatt finally made up his mind as to what he wanted to be for halloween. everytime we would ask him what he wanted to be it would be something different. first, a transformer, and not just any transformer it has to be bumblebee. then it was the hulk. when all was said and done wyatt decided on being a army guy. i told him he looked like a g.i. joe, but i was informed that that was NOT what he was.
ky was so cute as a little witch. it is so much fun having a little girl especiallly when i get to dress her up in frilly, fluffy things. she is such a good little girl, putting up with a mom like me. i wasn't sure she would keep her hat on, but as long and i distracted her with a sucker then she was fine to leave it on.

we hope you all had a great halloween!

Wyatt "dubby" Ronnowso my friend danielle tagged me to tell you five things that you don't know about wyatt...here goes!
5. wyatt was a binky baby. he loved it. when he was about 18 months he started biting holes in the nipples. so of course that is when it got taken away. wyatt wasn't at all bothered by the fact that he didn't have his binky anymore, although that is when he got totally attached to his "ducky blankie". we can't go anywhere without it. he stands at the washing machine and cries when it is being cleaned, which is often since we have to take it EVERYWHERE! i don't think we are going to have an easy time getting him to relinquish the "ducky blankie". it could be cute to have a son who carries around his blankie when he is 15 right?
4. wyatt hates rootbeer. he won't touch it. i don't know why he doesn't like it seeming how it is paxtons beverage of choice. wyatt would rather have water (and that is saying alot) then rootbeer! what a weird kid.
3. wyatt has his own language. he didn't start talking until he was three, so we have had quite a year of being interpreters. the thing that i love that he says is he calls his grandma becky, "Waha Beehee." i know that i should help him to say it correctly but i love it and hope that he always calls her "Waha"
2. wyatt loves little girls. he is the only boy in nursery at church, and i think that he really loves it. everytime he makes a new girl friend he tells me that he is going to marry her, even his cousins (ashley P). what a ladies man!
1. wyatt loves to have his tummy, back, arms, legs really pretty much anywhere scratched softly. it can sometimes really drive you crazy. everytime you are sitting anywhere he will climb up onto your lap and lift up his shirt to be scratched. although the nice part is 9 out of 10 times he will fall asleep!
***and a bonus fact about wyatt...no matter what time he goes to bed (which is usually late like 11pm) he will wake up with the sun. meaning like 5am. we have gotten him trained that he does not come in to wake up mom and dad. he now knows how to put a movie or cartoons on by himself!
i love wyatt so much and am so glad that he is my little dubby. sometimes he gets lost in the shuffle of being the dreaded "middle child" but i can't imagine our family without him. he is definitly the spice in our life!

We love Halloween....so i know it has been forever since i have posted, but life has been nuts! i seriously thought that once summer was over and Paxton was in school that life would calm down for us...boy, was i wrong! i am really going to try and be better, no promises though!
****oh my gosh, look how cute ky is. i swear she gets more beautiful by the day. (don't mind me, just a little bit of mommy bragging.) we love halloween at our house. next to christmas it is our most favorite. i love the feel of the air, the warm clothes being pulled out of hibernation, i love the costumes, letting go of me being able to choose what costumes the boys will wear this year. i love being outside, whether that means soccer games, play days at the park, or corn mazes.....

...and speaking of corn mazes. my sister steph happened to get some free tickets to a maze. we thought, hey what a fun way to spend the evening with the fam. so we packed up the monsters and off we went. come to find out the maze was in south jordan....so save money on the tickets, but pay it in gas. oh well, we had such a good time it was so worth it. the maze had a haunted section and a kid friendly one. we DID choose the ghouls free path. (even though the look of the pictures we didn't, the boys wanted a pic with the scary scarecrow, minus wyatt, he kept his face hidden. poor guy!)
it was a freezing night, but we dressed warm. once we got moving inside the maze we were actually quite toasty...especially me, i was wearing ky in her sling. it was nice to have a built in furnace.

well i hope that everyone else is having a good halloween season. i can't believe that it is almost here. where is the time going? soon we are all going to be doing christmas posts....ahhhhhh!

SWEET girl....


wyatt, being the great big brother that he is, gave ky a sucker today. i didn't have the heart to take it from her (besides i tried and she had a total meltdown). so i plopped her in her highchair and let her go to town. she loved it as you can tell. she was such a sticky mess by the time she was done, that we had to hose her down in the tub.

My little family.it is not often that i can get a picture of my whole family, seeing how i am usually the one taking the pictures. we went to lagoon this weekend and my sister and her fam came too. she snapped this picture of us. can i just tell you how worth it it has been for us to get season passes to lagoon. we definalty got our moneys worth this summer.

GO TiGerS....
paxton at his first soccer game of the season. last year was his first year, and he loved it! this year has been fun because i and my brother in law (his son gavin is on the team too) are the coaches. paxton is quite the little player. he is a quick runner and he is not intimidated at all by the other players or the ball. he just gets in there and plays his little heart out! paxton is also very proud because he chose the teams name....the TIGERS!
