OuR LiTtLe GuY!

We had Austin's pictures taken today. He didn't want to be there and we got a lot of fake smiles. We did end up getting a few cute ones out of him. I loved this collage they did and splurged a little to get it. (Oh wait, Mom paid for the pictures, I guess she splurged so that I could have it;)

Like I said, not all of the pictures turned out.
I call this one "In Pain"

I have never seen Austin pull this face before.
(but I can't stop laughing every time I see it)


This was Jeremy's idea. He saw the background and thought that
it would be cute to have some pictures that looked like he was skipping
church to go fishing. The photographer wanted him to take his shirt off
and he freaked out. I thought they turned out so cute.

Here are the rest of the picture. So cute, love this boy!

Better late than never!

(I started this post over a week ago then Austin got a really bad cough and a fever. He has been very demanding. There is a lot of sickness going around the Wyatt family. I lost my voice but it seems to slowly be coming back. So here is my December post. Better late than never I guess. )

I feel bad because I have not posted in so long. I am still better at it than Melissa is. I made a calendar for my mom and Doug for Christmas. Things did not go exactly to my plan and I ended up scrap booking. This took up every bit of my spare time. Now I am playing catch up on all of our December activities.

Austin playing in the snow. I really liked how the pictures turned out.

We had a lot of family Christmas parties in December. We were unable to make it to the Bowcutt family party on the 12th because Austin and I were sick and Jeremy was plowing snow. On the 19th on December we had 2 Christmas parties. One with the Mendelkow's and one with the Kartchner's. They started an hour apart so we missed the end of one and the beginning of the other. A lot of running that night. In all of the chaos of the night I didn't get an pictures taken. It was a crazy December but I loved it all.

Here is Austin Christmas morning.
(such a spoiled boy, but so very loved!)

We went to the Jeremy's parents Christmas morning. The little stinker didn't pose for a picture.
They gave him "Gator Golf". He was so excited he has been wanting it since Thanksgiving and was unable to get it with his birthday money because everyone has been sold out. (Uncle Jared need to help him with his swing a little.)

We went to Grandpa and Grandma Lott's next. It was so good to see family that we don't get to see very often.

Here is him at my mom's
(our 3rd Christmas Day stop)

He loves his transformers and he looks adorable
in the new church cloths they bought him.

I love December so much, it is worth all of the craziness. Thank you to all of our family and friends that spoiled us way too much this Christmas. We love you. It was a truly great day!

Our trip to Temple Square

On December 4th we took a trip down south. We had the day off because Austin had a Dr. appointment and we decided to make the day of it. Jeremy's mom came with us, we stopped in Layton on the way down to do some Christmas shopping. Kathy had never been to the Conference Center so we took a tour. The auditorium was decorated for the Christmas Devotional, it was so cool because the light were always changing. I love the beautiful tree in the lobby. We also got to see the original painting of the picture that is on this months Ensign. Temple Square was beautiful and the weather was great. Temple Square is one of my favorite places in the entire world, but it is even better as Christmas time. There was such a wonderful feeling.

We even got to see a Santa playing the bagpipes.
I loved the whole day, but I am not sure that Austin was as impressed as we were. We stopped in Layton again on the way home and ate at Outback Steakhouse where Austin passed out from our long day, and maybe to 4 shots he got in his leg that morning.

mY bAbY iS 4!

Aussie turned four on Friday! We never go shopping on black Friday, we took Austin to a movie instead. This may have been just as bad. I wanted to get a picture of him at the theater, but because of the lack of parking and long lines, lights were already out by the time we got to our seats. He had a lot of fun. we took him to see "Planet 51", it was really cute. then we took him shopping with the money he got from Grandpa and Grandma Kartchner. Not surprising he picked more toys from "Cars". Then we bought him a pizza for dinner.

The Birthday Boy!

Austin Has been slightly obsessed with Transformers.
Here his a picture of his Optimus Prime that he got from Mom and Dad.

We didn't have his birthday party until the next day. He wanted a Tranformers birthday. Here is his cake. Due to technical difficutiesit did not turn out exactly as planned, I never clammed to be a cake decorator, but he was happy with it.

Jason and Melissa gave him this cute helmet and steering wheel.
He has had fun pretending to be a race car driver.Jared and Sarah gave him this remote control Backhoe.
My boy loves tractors.

Grandpa and Grandma Peterson gave him this Nerf gun.

It is a little loud. I think we are going to end up with 2 of them,
because Jeremy had just as much fun with it as Austin did.

They also gave him these cute Optimus Prime pajamas.
Don't worry Mom, they fit perfect.
It was a pretty good party but the birthday boy was acting a bit wild all night.
Can't miss out on a chance to post an embarrassing photo of Jeremy.
He brings this on himself.Here is a cute picture of Sarah and Jared that I told her I would post.
Glad to see you found your husband (at least for the day)


Side notes

I never seem to get pictures of Thanksgiving. Too busy eating I guess. Went to Jeremy's Grandparents house and had a wonderful meal. I made all of the pies, they seemed to turn out well. We are having another party for him tonight with the Wyatt's so I will post picture from that later. We also set up our Christmas tree and outdoor lights on Austin's birthday. It is our Black Friday tradition. I also set up my Christmas village for the first time since Austin was a baby. I didn't know that I had collected so much stuff over time and had to expand it out a bit.

Happy Holidays!!

Austin

Austin is going to turn 4 on the 27th! I wanted to post some old pictures of him on his birthday. I decided to do it early since his birthday is in the middle of such a busy holiday weekend. The last 4 years have gone by so fast. We love this little guy! Here are some of my favorite pictures of our first year together.
Later this week I will try to post some pictures of him when he is older.

I know this is really late but here is the rest of our Halloween pictures!

Pumpkin Walk 2009

This one is really dark, sorry.

My pretty princess! Not sure why he wanted this one.


And our Pumpkin Walk tradition. Jeremy as a princess. (last year he was Ariel)

Our pumpkins

These two we carved at Jeremy's parents house.
Jeremy did the transformer for Austin,
and his brother Jason did the mickey for his daughter Brinley.



Another pumpkin Jeremy did for our house.
I wonder who chose this design.

Our favorite Little cowboy!

Finally a picture with a normal smile!
He likes to pull weird faces lately when I ask him to smile.
I thought these were cute.

This is the face he pulled when I asked him to make a sexy smile
instead of a goofball one. Makes me laugh every time!

And you've got to have an action shot!

Good news! I got a new camera this week! now I won't have to steal pictures off of Jeremy's iphone anymore. Yay! It is part of my early Christmas. My sweet husband new that I was freaking out not having a camera. Austin's Birthday is in less than 2 weeks!

Happy Fall!

Jeremy messed with my camera and got it to work for a little while. The night before Halloween it died again. I was able to get a few pics of Austin playing in the fall leaves before we raked them up. The rest I will have to steal off of Jeremy's phone.

Every time I ask Austin to smile I get this face.

Isn't he cute!


We have this fun hole in our walnut tree that goes
all the way throuh the tree. Austin is trying to put walnuts in it.
They are just a little too big.


Finally getting down to business!


Well sort of?


Austin has a unique raking style!


Happy Fall! More to come.
