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.

Wyatt


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.

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.
