Apples

Today Wyatt woke up from a nap and was in a terrible mood. The only thing he wanted was an apple that was sitting on the counter. Emily gave it to him just to see what he would do. Wyatt was able to bite the apple. He carried it around with him for a few hours and was the happiest boy ever. He even ended up eating over half the apple.

The yard work begins!

Last week we had two truck loads of soil brought in. We were going to need triple the amount of loads until a neighbor was kind enough to bring their extra soil to our yard. Wyatt has always loved to play outside. He was in heaven when he got a chance to play with the piles of soil. Last weekend our old bishop spread the soil and leveled out the yard for us. It looks great so far. All we need now is grass :) Travis also finished the wall for a raised garden in the front yard.

Snowbird Summer Day Pass

Travis and I had a fun time returning to Snowbird. We went to snowbird on our honeymoon and have not been back since. The day pass has changed a little over the past 5 Years.

This time we were able to ride the Mountain Coaster, the Alpine Slide, the Mountain Flyer and Tram. The pass also included a Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, and Bungee Trampoline.

Big shout out to Paul and Kerri for letting us use part of their week at the time share and for taking care of Wyatt while we had a mini vacation.

1st Birthday Cake

We had 2 cakes; a treasure chest for the crew and a skull for Wyatt. Wyatt did not like his cake very much. He played with the frosting for awhile and dug his fingers in, but had no interest in eating anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gifts and Games

 Wyatt loved all the gift he received. He is one spoiled boy!

The games were fun. The best was the treasure hunt. Clues were hidden around the house and a real buried treasure was found in the backyard. One treasure was found with the first ground breaking, the second was a little harder to find since both were not marked. We also had Pirates Dice and Pin the Treasure on the X.

Wyatt's 1st Birthday

Birthday Invitation

Wyatt had his 1st birthday party! It was pirate themed and we all had a lot of fun.

 

 

As the crew came on deck they dressed up in their gear and had pictures taken.

 

 

Above is the gear the crew could choose from. To the right is the photo backdrop that we made.

The rest of the decorations were fun to make and put together. One of our favorites is the treasure map Travis made.

 

For dinner, we had Cannon Balls (meatballs), Dead Man's Fingers (Little Smokies), Peg Legs (Corn Dogs), Catch of the Day (Goldfish), Poly's Crackers (Cheese & Crackers), Pirate Jewels (fruit), and Root Beer.

Travis did an awesome job making the watermelon into a ship.

Ogden Temple

Today we walked through the Ogden Temple. It is amazing to see the work and perfection of each temple. What blessings Heavenly Father has given us! I am grateful I am sealed to my Trav and family!

Camping

We took Wyatt on his first camping trip. He loved finding rocks and pinecones. Wyatt also enjoyed the little critters. His favorite thing to do was walk around with sticks and use them like a walking stick. It did rain a lot which is not ideal for camping, but Travis did make a delicious dutch oven dinner.

Wyatt is getting the hang of it!

 

Living Room Furniture

It all started with a coffee table. Our little black coffee table was at the end of its road. It was pretty beat up and very wobbly. It was not the safest thing around for Wyatt either; whenever he touched the table it would lean. Below is the culprit.

 

 

We decided to replace the coffee table and looked everywhere. There were a few tables online that we liked and one at RC Willey, but all were expensive. On July 24th, we decided to go to RC Willey to look for deals. We found that it was a better deal to buy a complete living room set than just a coffee table. Plus our couches were not the most comfy things to seat on. We ended up getting a couch, loveseat, 2 end tables, two lamps, and a coffee table. Below are before and after pictures of our living room.
