Out of the Mouths of Babes...and Dudes- John Bytheway

"I always wondered how people could say. " I love you" to people they don't even know, but now I realize that we all knew each other well a long time before. We're really just finally meeting up with old friends. "

My Birthday!!!

Yahoo I'm 23. It was a really good Birthday. My mom decorated the kitchen as she has always doen for everyones birthdays every year. It just starts your day right!
Jason and I starting our new tradition, The Birthday Hat!!! I love starting new traditions(thanks carrie) You have to wear it durring dinner, for cake and for Presents! Oh the fun!

Dave and Cathy Wilson joined us for my Birthdya dinner. We had sweet and sour chicken with rice and fresh fruit. Then we had Texas sheet cake with ice cream for dessert. Yum Yum Yum. Truly could have eaten the whole things.


I received wonderful gifts! te wilsons brought me a bag of dried fruit (so good that i finished it already) Then my parents got me sone really cute shirts! and Then Hailey and Jason got me a this dirt devil. I wanted one because Hailey loves to make messes. And a shirt! I scored this birthday.


It really was a fun day. We also went to lunch at this really fun Pizza place down town. So good. But anyways thanks to everyone for making it so wonderful!

Look at me I'm all grown up

So when ever the camera comes out Hailey comes up. So getting her picture is sometimes hard to do cause she wont stay and do what i want to get a picture of. But look at her teeth. She has 8 now. man-o-man.Here she is on her 10 months Birthday!!! Love the Hair. I have always put it it two pigtails, so i said why not One right on top. I think its pretty cute i think i just might put her hair like ths for sunday. Her hair is getting so long. I think it might be time for a cut, so sad. But well see it might take a while for me to get the guts to do it.


I'm a climber and a mover

So surprise I can climb. I walked into our bedroom for serioulsy maybe 30 seconds And i walked back in and there she was. On top of the bench. for not being 10 month(when this was taken) I think thats pretty good. It was cute to see her get off as well. She did very well.Sometimes i'll feed her cherios on that chair and while or after she is done she will start rearanging the furnature for us. It is so fun to see her face and the pride in her eyes of what she is doing.


Project


So my mom and I are making quite books for Hailey and Caleb. It is so fun to do. Taking a lot longer then planned but its going. We have a couple of pages done and have statered a couple more. A total of 10 pages. ITs going to get great!

Another project that we just finished is a flip book. It is full of pictures of the temples, Christ, Christ admineresting to the people, Prophets, sunday thing. So Hailey can flip through church pictures durring sacrament meetings. She likes it, we tried it out on sunday. And of course we have our little helper to help. As you can tell the material is folded and organized nicely except for where Hailey is, but she love to play with it all


The Love Stocking

So my Family had a tridition called the Love stocking. Every year this stocking is the only one out until Christmas Eve. But this stocking hangs above the fire place and you put love notes into the pocket for a family member. Just telling them you think the world of them- or anything. It has been so nice to have. It is so fun to come and check it to see if there is a note to you.

But it just helps you get in the season of giving- giving love to those around you.

Thi one is now ours for our future homes. We just barley made this last week. Sewing is so much fun!

Santa gift

So from santa i got a complete set of cake dummies. This is so exciting. Now i can make cakes whe ever i want with out actually makeing cakes!!!
So as soon as i got these (christmas day, im just really behind on posting some things) I made a cake. Isn't it cute! well there are a tone of things more to be done to it, but i thought i would show you what i have been playing with

Fort Collins

We went to the mall to look around and then to eat at Chick-Fila Oh so good! I have missed that place! There is one here in Cheyenne, but since we were there thats where i wanted to eat.
And on the way down to longmont, cause we had to go there to exchange shoes for Jason to get th right size we passed a city-town sign and thought of the Mead Family and missed them lots. Hope things are going well for you and Maybe you should consider comeing and living in Colorado off of the Mead Exit. That would be supper cool- there are a ton of forests around there Brian...hint hint. Any ways hope al is going well.

Fun

Meet Serendipity! He was the oldest one there and he is te one that trains te young ones.
It was fun to get our picture with him. They were doing pictures from 1-3. We got there at 1, good thing. when we were done there was a pretty big line.
Hailey wouldn't look at the camera, she was too bust petting the horse and wondering what he was doing. Even when we were walking away behind him to look at the wagon she just kept staring at him.
This Is Hailey watching Deputy While we were in line.
This is wheeler. We think he was the biggest of 6 that were there. He was pretty cute.
