Autumn Fun!

 We went, on a Sunday afternoon, on family hike to Stokes Nature Trail. It was so pretty, it was a lot of fun to get out of the house and into nature. Dan and Teydon spent most the time running, playing in the river, and jumping off of things.
 Elk hunting 2011, we went to my grandma's in Henefer and spent the weekend playing with cousins! Teydon & Brayden love to ride on the 4 wheeler! We took Dan's mom's camping trailer and camped out in the mountains! While the boys went hunting, the girls had fun at a Usborne book party! We had a fun weekend and loved hanging out with family!! While we were there my grandma took us to Red Lobster, YUM!

 We were going to go to the pumpkin walk for family night but when we got there at 7:30 it was a 2 hr wait to even get in. :( We decided to go to a little pumpkin patch in No. Logan and pick us out some pumpkins to carve the next night! Teydon had so much fun picking out and carrying his own little pumpkin!

We decided to head to the pumpkin walk early to avoid the 2 hr wait. It was perfect we got right in and got to enjoy the pumpkin displays. Teydon had a lot of fun standing on the stools and putting his head in the holes! I think his favorite part was the cookie at the end. People have some amazing talents to get pumpkins to look so much like actual characters. It was a lot of fun. Teydon's favorite scenes were the basketball player and the football team. He is all boy!  But that's why we love him so much!


After the pumpkin walk we came home and worked on our pumpkins. Teydon didn't want much to do with the "pumpkin guts" so he played and watched Cars instead. Which has become his all time favorite movie! He'll watch it all day long, over and over again. You can put any other movie in and he only lasts 2 mins but you put Cars in and he'll watch the WHOLE thing! His favorite part, which sometimes we watch over and over and over again, is when Mater and McQueen go tractor tipping! There is a good thing about it though it can be a good babysitter, when I need to clean up or hop in the shower.
I didn't think it was very fair that I spent a lot of time on my spider and Dan whips out a pucking pumpkin in 2 min. Pretty sure he took the easy way out. We have had alot of fun celebrating Autumn. Teydon is at a fun age too, he's able to participate and have fun doing things too. Love my life!

Teydon's 1st Circus!

Teydon's Great Grandma took us to the Circus, in Salt Lake! Teydon enjoyed it for the 1st little while but 2+ hrs is a little long for a 19 month old. I LOVED it, it had been a very long time since I've been to a circus. My favorite was the elephants and the TIGERS! I so want a tiger :)! People have some real talent to get wild animals to do what they want. My Grandma took us and my cousins and their kids, making it a total for 6 great grandkids! It was so much fun to get together with them, they live 1.5 hrs a way so we dont get to see them very often. We met at Chucky Cheese before for pizza and fun. It was an awesome day/night! Thanks grandma!

On the way home from the circus we drove through East Canyon to look at the fall leaves, they were very bright and beautiful. I love when the leaves start to change colors it's our favorite thing about Autumn.

Twin!

Teydon and I went to my mom's up in Twin for a week. We were up there for her birthday! We had a lot of fun up there: playing with their puppy Boo, shopping, Miniature golfing at the mall, fed the fish at the fish hatchery, out to eat, movies, playing at the park, running through sprinklers, and played the WII. It was so much fun and so good to spend some time with my mom and brother! Only down fall it made me miss them so much more!! Teydon still calls for Boo! We had so much fun running through the sprinklers at the park, everyone got pretty wet Teydon the worst. Boo loved to have Teydon throw the ball for him even though he only through it a foot, Boo would always give it back to him. They also had fun playing chase! Thanks Mom and Colb for an awesome week! We love you both so much!!

Summer FUN!

We have had one of the busiest summers! Dan's brother and his wife got transferred to Japan for the Marines. We spent 3 weeks of July spending time with them before they left: swimming, camping, dinner, family parties, shopping, fun fun fun! Then Dan's Sister left for her mission to Birmingham, Alabama/MTC the end of July so we spent time with her going to movies: HP 7 & Zoo Keeper, games, and packing. We are so proud of her and love her so much!

We went to Flaming Gorge, for my birthday, with family and friends. Thurs./my birthday was the best day we had there weather wise! It was a beautiful day with cliff jumping and wake boarding. We had an awesome time and can't wait to go next year, going for a whole week next time! It is definitely going to be a yearly thing! It rained on us Fri & Sat in the afternoons but we still made the best of it with more cliff jumping, sandwiches, tour of the dam, and tube rides. Teydon did so good he loves the boat, and didn't mind wearing the life jacket. We loved the campground Mustang Ridge, the roads are paved and their was more shade than we planned on. The whole vacation was awesome. I'm so grateful to all those that made it a perfect birthday weekend!!



We made it over to Beak Lake for some boating with my Dad, step mom, and step brother. It was a blast, it had been 15 yrs since my dad had been to Bear Lake so it was fun to watch him have fun and skiing & knee boarding. The boat had some throttle problems so we had to cut our trip short. My cousin, his little family, and his in laws were there for the weekend so we met up with them. They're little girl is 1.5 months older than Teyd so he had someone to play with!

18 Months!

On August 3rd Teydon had his 18 month check up: weight 21.2 lbs-5%, height 30 in-8%, head 19 1/3in-80%. He's doing great, a little slower than others on the growing end but he's just perfect! He is growning up way too fast, I can't believe how big he is getting. He can say; Uh oh, banana, mum, ba ball aka basketball, boo, ha aka hot, owe, da. The dr. said that is right along with the other kids. He has learned how to throw a tantrum, they are not so fun. He loves playing out side and is a very busy boy! He brings so much joy and happiness to our little family.

NewMyer Happenings!

    
I wanted to take some 15 month pics of Teydon, I got one cute one of him smiling but it was on my phone. When I got to the park my camera battery was dead so I went to my dad's and borrowed their camera. When we got back there were a lot more people there and they had remote control cars so needless to say he was more interested in the cars than mom taking pictures. I'll have to try again, when and if the sun ever comes back out. Dan and I were invited to a Murder Mystery Party and our costumes were Chief Breaking Wind and Helena Handcart. It was a ton of fun! Sabrina the host ended up being the MURDERER! There are no Indian costumes in Logan so my mom and I had to make one out of a sweat suit, fringe, felt, beads, and feathers. I think it turned out AWESOME!

Steve jumping!

Every year we go on a birthday ride for my dad! We went up Chalk Creek-East Canyon: Dan, my dad, Colby, Ethan, Steve, Nickole, Cody S., and I. It was sunny/party cloudy most the day, we all came home with sunburns so sunny enough. We had a blast! At one spot we stopped at called Double Hill, Colby was jumping and ended up flipping my dad's sled (picture shows the end result :) ). They were both fine, a little sore afterwards but good. It was awesome to watch, not sure my bro, nor my dad, thought it was that cool! I don't think I've ever seen a sled end up with its butt end stuck in the snow. Ethan's sled seized about 30 mins. into the ride so he and my dad rode double so we had to pull it out. It's crazy how much snow is still up there! It was an awesome day and an awesome way to celebrate a birthday!
