Yeah!

Well, my mom and I took Bryton to see Santa last week. For the first time he actually sat on Santa's lap and told him what he wants for Christmas. He even kinda smiled for the picture. I didn't have good batteries in my camera so I couldn't take a picture for the blog. I did buy one since that will be a memorable event for Bryton. I was so proud of him!

My Wonderful, Talented, Good looking Husband!

Well, I showed Tono our blog the other day and he noticed that all of our names were on the title but Bryton was the main one in it. I didn't want him feeling left out so I decided to post some pictures of him doing what he loves. A couple friends came up from the colonies in Mexico and they went riding. Here are a few pictures.

Owee's!

Well, Bryton has had a little bit of a cold. We went to get him some medicine from Walgreens and the Pharmacist said that they no longer recommend giving children under 4 over the counter medication. He said the best thing to do is just keep his nose clean and give him saline nasal spray. He has never liked it when we use the "nose sucker thing" and he now knows that he also does not like nasal spray. We had to convince him that it would make him feel better. My parents decided to take a picture of it.

On Friday after Thanksgiving Tono went out to our new house to ride with his cousin Dustin and brother Colton. (They have built a dirt track on the extra land) Bryton wanted to go with them and play in the dirt so I went shopping while they played. When they were on their way home Bryton called and said "Mommy I got an owee" in a sad voice. He was riding on Uncle Colton's dirt bike with Colton like he always does, except this time he wasn't paying attention. When Colton went over a bump (I don't know how big) Bryton went forward and hit his head on a bolt on the handlebars. He got a cut on his forehead in the shape of the bolt. Tono said it bled quite a bit but he was ok. These pictures are of us getting him all fixed up with his "yellow spray medicine" (neosporine) and cars "tattoo" band aids.

Here's our "Tough Guy" all fixed up!

P.S. - He went to the job site and then to the office with Daddy this morning and when I picked him up he had an egg on his forehead next to his cut from running into the table. He also has a scratch from my mom's nails on his chin from when they were playing the other night. Poor boy is just accident proned. He wants to go see Santa but I don't want him to look like he got beat up in the pictures. Maybe next week he will be better! lol

THANKSGIVING

This year we had two Thanksgiving dinners. One with the Bluth's and one with the Smith's/Longhurst's. This is Bryton and his cousin Ben at the park eating whipped cream after dinner with the Smith's/Longhurst's. They had so much fun playing together.

Lucky Boy!

Bryton is such a lucky boy to have so many people that love him and spoil him. He spent the night at Grandpa & Grandma Bluth's last week and came home with this ride-on dump truck that Grandma got him. Everytime he is with her he comes home with some new toy. He sure does love it. Thanks Mariann.

My little, bigger brother!

My mom has made a new blog for Cameron on his mission. Just in case you are not on the list that my mom sent the address to and you want to see how Cam is doing, you can click on the link I have added for him.

An Awesome Weekend!

CONGRATULATIONS BRANDON AND RACHEL WRIGHT!

On the weekend of the 15th we went to Utah for a much needed vacation and one of my good friend's weddings. We had a great weekend. We got in on the night of Friday the 14th after missing our afternoon flight. Yes we even ran through the airport to try and make it. After a big fat blister on my heal and much needed exercise, we missed our flight by less than a minute. Anyway, we just relaxed after we got there Friday. On Saturday we went to Brandon and Rachel's sealing in the Bountiful temple. Then to a beautiful and delicious sit down luncheon/reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. That night we saw my best friend Kandis Kelly (w/her cute little baby belly) and her husband Nic. We went to a movie and then they took us to a yummy frozen yogurt place after. On Sunday Tono had to go home and Bryton and I stayed til Tuesday. We were able to see my Uncle Ross and Aunt Jamie along with my cousins in Alpine. Bryton had a blast playing with my cousins and did not want to leave. For the first time ever he said "mommy I don't want to go on the airplane, I want to stay here!" Here are some pics from the temple.

Here is our little family in front of the Bountiful Temple after the sealing
(You might not be able to tell here but the whole day I felt so frumpy because I packed everything but my skirt and did not realize it until Saturday morning. So I had to borrow one of Tono's mom's that she had up at their house in Draper which is where we were staying. This was the only one that matched and fit. Funny stuff!)

OUR BIG HELPER!

Bryton is such a fun boy! He loves to help wherever he can. Last week my dad decided to make Breakfast for dinner so Bryton helped him make pancakes. He was so excited to be helping Grandpa with dinner!

Just Kidding! Unfortunately!

Well, we were supposed to already be in our house but some things have come up and it looks like it will be a few more weeks. Hopefully it will be before Christmas cause I am actually excited to decorate this year. I will be disappointed if I can't. I guess I will let you all know when we are actually in the house.

Finally!!!!!!!!

Well, we are FINALLY moving into our house! Yah! The reason I have not been good about posting anything these last couple months is because we have been living with my parents. We sold our house and moved in here expecting it to only be a couple weeks. Now that it has been almost two months our house is finally ready. I posted Halloween because my mom took pictures and put them on her computer. I can not put pictures on it from my camera because I don't have the usb adapter. Anyway, I will probably be skipping the next couple weeks again since I will be busy moving in. I will try to be consistant after that. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone if I don't post til after that!

Halloween Fun!

This is the neighbors skeleton. Bryton was scared of it but Tono took him to it and showed him it was fake and Bryton just laughed.

Here is our little Mickey Mouse getting ready to go out

This is outside of my parents house since their neighborhood is where we went "trick or treating"

Cardinals VS. Broncos

On Friday Tono got tickets to the Cardinals game from a guy he has done work for. It was on Saturday. I normally don't really care for football but the seats were really good and neither of us had been to the new stadium. (Where the superbowl was this year) We went and it was a fun date night. We only stayed through the beginning of the fourth quarter since we didn't want to get stuck in traffic. So I don't know who won. Cardinals were up 14 to 10 when we left.

I took all these pictures from our seats. We were 10 rows up almost right on the 50 yard line.
My sleeve was pushed up from Tono so it looks like I am wearing a tank top but don't worry I'm not.

The only person who I really had even heard of on the Cardinals was Matt Leinart. I thought I would take a picture of his jersey so you could see just how close we were. Tono gave me a bad time because he was like "you just want a picture of his butt!" It was fun.

Sooo Tired!!!

I had to go pick up a check for Tono the other day. I left at Bryton's nap time so he was so tired. I had given him a couple snacks and apple juice in his "baby sippy cup." He had eaten a few grapes and then wanted his juice. I handed it to him, he put it in his mouth and when I turned back to look at him this is what he looked like. I tried to take it out and he opened his eyes and grabbed it so I let go. A few seconds later, literally, he was back asleep. It was the funniest thing. I took a picture and then took it out since he was then completely out.

Fun at the Mall

There is an outdoor mall that was built last year by our house called San Tan Village. We decided to go to the movies there for a girls day out with Bryton. It was Grandma Smith, Aunt Kenzi, Me and Bryton. We went to lunch in the food court since we had time before the movie. When we were finished with lunch Bryton saw these rides. Since he had been good I let him ride a couple. He picked the ice cream truck and the snow mobile (Jet Ski). He thought it was a Jet Ski. He enjoyed it.

Sunday Afternoon!

These pictures are from a couple sunday's ago. I have been so annoyed with how slow my computer is that I haven't wanted to get on it to post them. Anyway, we were over at Grandpa and Grandma Bluth's when I took these.

He wanted to go outside and water the plants and I wasn't in the mood to deal with dirty clothes so I decided that he could just go out in a pull-up. He thought it was so fun. He didn't even care that he didn't have clothes on.

After that he came in and wanted to make cookies with Grandma. Grandma of course said yes and Bryton loved it.
He is eating the chocolate chips because he couldn't wait for the cookie dough to be finished.
This is all the chocolate that didn't make it in his mouth.

Being Silly!

Bryton and I were at my parents the other day hanging out and Bryton found my camera in my purse. He handed it to me and said, "Mommy take a picture of me." So I did.

This is his nice picture

These two are of his "silly faces"

St. George Pics! Finally!

(The photographer got this one when we were trying to make Bryton happy so he would smile. I thought it turned out cute. Especially being that it wasn't posed.)

Family Pictures in St. George

Well, I was going to post some of the pictures that we got back from the photographer of my Mom's family but my computer is being sooooo sloooow!!! As soon as I can get it running better I will post some. They turned out pretty good.

The 4th of July in St. George, Utah

For the 4th we went to St. George to celebrate my Grandparents 5oth wedding anniversary. All of my mom's family was there except my brothers. It was a blast. We stayed at two different houses that are in a spectacular golf course community called The Ledges. My Uncle Ross and his wife Jamie are investors in a house there that is so beautiful. They rented out another house also so there was enough room for everyone. I am sorry that I didn't take more pictures. I figured since everyone else took so many I would just get copies. When I do I will try to remember to post them.

This is Nathan Atkinson, my youngest cousin, at the Pizza Factory. We had to get a picture of this because this was the longest noodle any of us had seen before.
This is all of us doing fireworks in the court in front of the house. I couldn't get good pictures but I figured some were better than none. Bryton is the little one in the green shirt. He was helping my cousin's Parker and Taylor light the fireworks. He loves doing what the big boys do!
Here is a better picture of the fireworksIn the city park they had the neatest little water park for kids. There was a splash zone that had water coming up from the ground and there was a little waterfall that led to a shallow stream of water. It was perfect for Bryton. We went there for a couple hours on the 5th with the girls and the little boys while the guys went golfing. Here is Bryton and Kelsey Playing on the waterfall

Bryton kept trying to drink the water when it would spray up. It probably wasn't the best water to drink because it smelled like it had chlorine in it, but he was having a blast.

Newport Beach

The first week of June we went to Newport Beach. We usually go that time every year with Tono's family. This year my parents and Mackenzi came too. It was beautiful weather and so much fun!

On the drive there Bryton put his blankets on himself like this and had one in his mouth. He thought he was so funny.
Early one morning when they were grooming the sand, they made these huge piles. Bryton had so much fun climbing on them. Here is Bryton with Grandma Smith.
I know you probably can't tell but he has sand all over and is missing a shoe because it got stuck in the sand behind him. He didn't care because he was having so much fun!
This pictures gives a little bit better perspective of just how big these piles were. If we didn't follow Bryton through them he could have gotten lost. He probably wouldn't even have cared.
