Sticker Art

Jaymon decided it would be fun one day to decorate Mom while she was rocking Ray - silly kid! I decided to let him since it kept him occupied and he was so proud of his work! :)

Ray is probably the happiest baby I have ever seen. He is such a joy to have around!

Hawks Baseball Game

Taylor took the kids to a Hawks Baseball Game early in the Fall while Ray and Mom stayed home to bond one evening. The kids had a blast, and Jaymon came home so excited to tell me all about the Hawk. Jaymon kept saying he wanted the Hawk to come live at our house - sorry Buddy! :)

I Love To See the Temple

In September, we took the kids over to see the temple and enjoy the beautiful temple grounds. When Tylor was little, he used to like to see the angel "Ramoni" (Moroni) on the top of the temple. Everyone enjoyed the visit except for maybe Jaymon because he was a little too tired!

Uncle Tom's Visit

My Uncle Tom (married to my dad's sister, Gloria) stopped by to visit us for a couple of days at the beginning of September. I hadn't seen him for about 7 years, so it was wonderful to be able to introduce the kids to him and catch up on old times. Being around him brought back memories of when I was a kid and our families would go out camping and motorcycle riding together. My family even lived in our camp trailer in Uncle Tom's driveway for a couple of months while our house was being built when I was 3 or 4 years old. So much history! I love this guy!

Potty Training our "Little Doggy"

Jaymon decided to get potty trained which was great, but sometimes we can't convince him that his underwear should go on his bum! He also likes to pretend that he is a dog, so that explains why his tongue is sticking out in this picture. He is such a funny kid!

Halloween

Ray likes candy (at least he likes the wrappers)!
Oh boy!

The kids ready for the Trunk-or-Treat at the church the week before Halloween. (T.J. wanted to be a vampire originally and then changed his mind to being a monkey on Halloween night).
Coleton wanted a Jack-o-lantern costume because of his Jack-o-lantern smile! :)
Ready to go on Halloween night.
Tylor wanted to be a zombie football player.
