These are the photos from Dyllan's preschool field trip.
They went to the local fire station and had a pupet show on what to do if there is a fire. Dyllan got to be one of the helpers and Bridger was able to tag along!
The boys were so excited to play on the fire trucks and as you can see we had a lot of fun playing with the fire truck wheel reflection!

The boys love looking at all the animals and it was Bridger's first year and being able to ride the rides.
This year we also went to the redeo too. We had a great family night and it was much needed.
Football season is about to start and we have season tickets to the Utes! We are so excited for UTAH FOOTBALL!!!

He as so excited to go back to school.
I love his school they are great, and it is musically based.

Super Cute Idea!
Jeremy made the car and Dyllan helped paint it!
Anyway, Bridger loves the car too!

Jeremy has video to post too! We will get them up here as soon as we can!

Dinseyland April 2010

2010-06-10T23:00:00.007-06:00

Some of our post are a little out of date...
I am just trying to play catch up on my personal blog.
The last 3 post are backwards and mixed up

Disneyland was April 10th to the 13th of 2010
The Zoo was May 15th of 2010
Grandfathers service was May 27th of 2010
Bridger at Little Gym was June 10th of 2010

Here are some shots from our trip to Disneyland which was so much fun! The boys had some a great time. We were walking distance to the park, and had a killer view of the nightly fireworks from our hotel!
Dyllan's favorite ride was Peter Pan! Bridger was just in "ahw" of all of it.
The Pixar parade was awesome and we watched it every day we were there. The boys could not get enough of it!
We will try and get some videos loaded on in the near future... but we are so busy I would not count on it!

Grandfather Bob Stayton Funeral Services

2010-06-10T22:34:00.006-06:00

Many known him as Pa, but I have always called him Grandfather. Symbolizing, respect, fatherhood, and Indian Elder!
He was the most amazing man, artist, story teller and Grandfather anyone could have ever wished for! His memory and stories will live on in my heart and I will pass his stories of Cowboys to Indians to my boys and great grandchildren. Everyone will be able to hear him and know his stories and what an amazing man he was! I love you GRANDFATHER you are more then missed!

Cherokee Indian Prayer
Oh Grand Father the sky
Oh Grand Mother the Earth
Grant unto us your holy blessing
In which we sustain all of your needs
We do obey your commands
we respect Our Mother, the Earth
let our quest for Knowledge be as spacious as the sky and
The magnificent Eagle that soars high in Your universal kingdom
let our presence Be full of your wisdom
let thy wisdom Elevate us in fullness
as the wings span of The magnificent eagle of Grand Father
Great Supreme Spirit bless our borders with plenty Of rain
unto us and to thy kingdom of nature
That bring forth the three sisters
corn, beans, and Squash, which are necessary for us to live a Continuous life of bliss and
bless our cousins
The Bear, Buffalo, Cougar,
and the agility Of the Deer who has a keen sense of alertness
And majestic prowess
we will always honor And respect your universal kingdom of the born And unborn.
Walk Mother Earth in balance and in peace
Because beneath our feet lay the bones Of our noble ancestors.

The Haacke Zoo!

2010-06-10T16:17:00.004-06:00

Here is our day outting at the zoo. One of the first warm days here in Salt Lake.
The baby elphant is the cutest thing ever!
The boys are always so excited to go to the zoo and see all the animals.
We try and go once every time the season changes because we see different animals due to the wearther and which ones like to roam.

2010-06-10T16:08:00.004-06:00

He has learned some much and advanced tons since he started almost a year ago.
He is a serious monkey and has no fear.

We have so much going on with wedding season and spring family photos.
I have tons of photos to blog but have been to busy to get them on this site.
I will try and make time in the next week or so.
Dyllan's school performance is coming up so I am sure Jeremy will have videos to post too.
Dyllan's 4th birthday is right around the corner too.
Bridger is growing so fast, starting to talk so much and is such a climber. Full of bumps and bruises. He is not afraid of anything and just climbs, runs, jump, flips, twist and turns!!!
I better get busy before I get so far behind that I say screw it!

Dyllan's 1st Baseball game

2010-04-14T22:31:00.005-06:00

Dyllan plays baseball!
He is on the Blue Jays! It is all 3 and 4 year olds.
He loves it so much. He is so sad every time we leave. They practice one day a week and then have a game every Thursday. They only play two innings! It is kinda of crazy, but a lot of fun. For the first 2 years they are just learning the game and how to play as a team!
Jeremy will post videos soon!

Easter

2010-04-04T14:39:00.007-06:00

Easter was crazy to say the least! Bridger just wanted to eat the eggs and die his finger and really did not care to hunt eggs only eat all the candy one eggs at a time as he found them. Dyllan finally took his time this year and enjoyed both coloring eggs and hunting for them.
Next year the boys will be 3 and 4.5!!!! I am sure Easter will be a whole different adventure as well. The boys are becoming closer and closer and are turning into best buds and not just fighting brothers!!!! Dyllan really looks out for Bridger and takes that big brother role. It is so cute the way the play together! I will post videos soon!
We were able to spend the morning and afternoon as a family and then naps of course!!! Then the evening we headed to the Haacke Family house! We played games, ate dinner, and all the cusins had an Easter Egg hunt! They have it ever year and each kid hunts for a different color egg! It is a lot of fun and all the kids really enjoy it!
Hope you all had a great Easter!

Charlie Bear & Red Horse!

2010-03-24T13:18:00.006-06:00

I thought of Photographing Charlie Bear and Red Horse for about a week now. I painted that green chair almost a month of go and really was itching to shoot with it. Finally I did it. Went down in the studio took 15 minutes and took these photos! I must say I love them! I love the color and the subjects and all of it! Charlie Bear is Dyllan's favorite thing. Grammie and Grandpa Greg gave it to him in Vegas when we were there for Mom's 50 birthday! Red Horse is Bridger's it is from Merry Gems in Montana.

Dyllan at School

2010-03-17T14:39:00.003-06:00

Dyllan's school had a St. Patrick's Day party.
These shoots are from the magic show.
I love the photo of his friend whispering in his ear.
So cute!!!
He is doing well is school, knows all the letters and there sounds, can write his name, knows the months and days of the week. They are learning to tell time and about money right now! And of course tons of new songs since it is a school based on musical academics!
The last shot is of his class room. There are 16 kids in his class all 3 year old, they are all boys and only 4 girls. I don't know how his teachers do it. Luckily, there is 2 of them.

look who's 2!!!!

2010-03-08T15:59:00.004-07:00

We celebrated Bridger's 2 birthday on Sunday with Jeremy's family! It is also my dad's birthday and Jeremy's sister Aimee's birthday on the 10th of March! Happy birthday to all 3 of you! Bridger's big gift from us was the baseball hoop, he was so excited!!!

Bridger's first attended Birthday Party

2010-03-08T15:50:00.002-07:00

These are some photos from Bridger's friend Jazie's birthday party. He goes to little gym with her. The party as you can see was also held at little gym. He had a great time playing with all of his little gym friends. I think he thought we were just there for "gym class" but he got food too!

2010-02-21T22:16:00.008-07:00

We had a great time at the hockey game. This was a fight right in front of us within the first 10 seconds of the game. Dyllan is playing hockey in his little gym sports class so he was super excited to watch the game. There are photos of the fight and then the players going down on to the ice. they are the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th shots! Got to love our $12 seats too. Killer view!
Utah Grizzly's won 3-1 against the Canada Salmon Kings!

Living Planet Aquarium

2010-01-19T16:39:00.008-07:00

Dyllan's field trip this semester was to the Living Planet Aquarium.
Bridger of course gets to tag along. They both had a great time looking at all the sea life creatures. As you can see we are growing out Dyllan's hair and he is at that funny stage. If you can look past his red hair that needs to be cut, you will see 2 happy faced boys who had a great time!

off to visit Grandfather

2010-01-19T16:30:00.006-07:00

As many of you know my Grandfather has not been feeling well.
So Bridger and I jumped on a plane to visit him and he family for a few days.
Bridger was awesome on the plane, loves to fly! Walks down the aisle of the plane all by himself and finds his seat. He is such a big boy! Our flights on the other hand kept filling up for standby travel so we had to leave at little earlier then we had hoped. There was about 20 deer outside thier house every night. Bridger was so excited to see them, keep saying "look" and pointing at them. The photo of him looking at the snow is a shot of him looking at thier tracks right up by the front porch.
Here are a few photos from our trip.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Dyllan's Photos

2009-12-27T21:11:00.002-07:00

Here are a few photo that Dyllan shot from his new camera that he got for Christmas.

Christmas Day

2009-12-26T20:05:00.006-07:00

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
We had a great Christmas morning. Woke up around 6am started cooking the cinnamon rolls. Dyllan was up and ready to go about 6:30, so we woke up Bridger and then proceeded to open gifts from about 7:00 to 9:00! Crazy that 4 people could take so long. But we just took our time and enjoyed it. We take turns and open each present one at a time. It is the only way to do it if you ask me. Dyllan got a Diego tree house from Santa and Bridger got a Little People School bus! Dyllan also got his first digital camera from Mommy and Daddy and Briger got a tent and climbing tube!
For Christmas dinner we went to the Haacke's. Ate a wonderful Christmas ham and opened family gifts.
We did not have any fresh snow but we have about 2 feet in our yard still.
We are taking down decorations today. Sad to see it all go but excited for things to not be so cluttered again. Time to get ready for a new year and new adventures!

Christmas Eve

2009-12-26T19:37:00.005-07:00

Christmas Eve was great. It was nice to celebrate Christmas at home.
The boys got a bunk bed on Christmas Eve. They both love it! Dyllan is the top bunk and Bridger the bottom.
Dyllan put baby Jesus in the manger this year. He has been waiting to do so since, we put it up after Thanksgiving. He was really exicted.
We made dough for homemade cinnamon rolls for brakefast in the morning, read the Night Before Christmas, opened Christmas PJ's and Jeremy made a awesome turkey dinner!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Dyllan's 1st Christmas Program

2009-12-17T20:33:00.005-07:00

Dyllan was so cute during his first Christmas Program.
He was the only kid that did most of the singing and actions with the songs.
He was so cute, we are so proud of him and everything he has learned since Septemeber. Jeremy is working on some video clips so you can all see how wonderful he did. We will have them up in a few days.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

2009-12-08T21:33:00.005-07:00

Today, it snow and snowed and then snowed some more.
We always get crazy snow out here on the west side of Salt Lake. I think it is because we live on the base of the mountains and the wind blows like Great Falls! Plus we get lake effect from the Great Salt Lake! It all makes for more snow at our house! Which makes it more like Christmas Time!!!
Dyllan enjoyed helping Jeremy shovel the snow, and poor little Bridger wanted to help so bad and kept slipping on the snow and getting buried in powered when he would fall. As sad as the last photo of Bridger looks, I just love it! He is such a angel!

The perfect TREE

2009-12-08T21:27:00.004-07:00

Decorating the tree this year was so much fun. Jeremy is the "passer outer" and the boys and I get to be the "putter oners"
Bridger is struggling a little with "no touching" but he is doing pretty good.
I have to admit I felt like a Hallmark commercial this year, remember each Christmas with the each different ornament. I know I am a cheese ball!

Christmas Party and the Haacke's Church

2009-12-05T08:23:00.003-07:00

Trick or Treat

2009-11-02T11:14:00.005-07:00

This year for Halloween Dyllan was a Pirate, and Bridger a Tiger.
This was the first year Dyllan really went Trick or Treating by himself! He had a great time. Ran from house to house. Bridger rode in the wagon between houses and had to get out a every house and go up to the door. We tried to skip a few house and that was not okay with him. He kept trying to bail out of the wagon as soon as we would reach a new house and then he would make his way to the door and hold his bucket out. It was really cute. We had tons of trick or treater's at our house. We gave out over 300 pieces of candy. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!

carving pumpkins

2009-11-02T11:10:00.003-07:00

Carving pumpkins this year was a bit interesting.
Bridger just wanted to eat the seeds and Dyllan use the knife.
But it was still fun!!!
In the end Dyllan told me what shapes he wanted the eyes, nose and mouth, while Bridger was told "spit it out!" every few minutes.

Halloween SNOWMAN!

2009-10-29T13:49:00.004-06:00

This is the first snow storm of 2009. We had enough snow to make a snowman. We finally got to use the snowman kit that Grandpa Jay & Grandma B got Dyllan for Christmas 2 years ago. Thank Dad and Bev, the snowman kit is awesome! Everything you need, even the hot chocolate!!!

5 years and counting....

2009-10-17T22:04:00.003-06:00

Jeremy and I were married 5 years on the 16th of October.
We had a great quite evening together...
here are some photos of Memory Grove where we got married.
The colors there look the same as the day we were married 5 years ago.

Bridger at LITTLE GYM

2009-10-15T17:07:00.002-06:00

Bridger is doing so great at Little Gym. He is the youngest in his class. He loves the beam and loves to climb. He is so funny to watch. He is a problem solver. He can climb anything, then he consintrates so hard trying to figure out how to get down. Is is the best!

Field Trip to the FIREHOUSE!

2009-10-15T16:53:00.004-06:00

Dyllan went on his first feild trip to one of the local fire houses. The fire fighters put on a saftey program for thier class. The learned what to do if their clothes catch on fire or if there is a house fire. There is a big photo of his class and he is right in the middle. He kept holding the little blonde girls hand. Jeremy and I were all "not already!"

In search of the perfect pumpkin!

2009-10-15T16:48:00.003-06:00

Mom and Greg came to town to visit.
We had a great time with them and miss them so much already!
We went and looked for pumpkins on the first night.
Dyllan realy enjoyed looking for pumpkins. He could barley carry them but he still tried. Bridger was just happy to be outside.
I have posted a photo of the pumpkin patch with the mountains in the background. I just can't get enough of the mountains here. AMAZING!
oh... the last photo mom took of me. Dyllan had to go to the bathroom and I was afraid he was going to fall in, but he wanted me to cover my eyes so he could have privacy. He is so funny!

This is the view from our house.
There was a strom moving through at susnet, and it was just amazing.
This is where we are doing our family photos in a couple of weeks too.
I am so excited to have them done this year with the mountains behind us.

FAIR TIME

2009-09-15T08:33:00.006-06:00

The fair was alot of fun with the boys. Of course they loved the animals, the baby pigs were the best. We took Dyllan on his first "Rides" when we were there. I thought he would be scared but he just laughed and smiled the whole time. Bridger was too small for a lot of the rides and would cry everytime Dyllan got to get on a ride with out him. It was sad. One of the rides he went on was "race cars" we made sure he was in the #3 car for Dad and Bev!

Dyllan 1st day of SCHOOL!

2009-09-08T11:57:00.000-06:00

Dyllan's first day of school was great, he was so excited. He got to sit on the Letter G, and start on his alphabet book.

Museum of Ancient Life

2009-08-30T14:46:00.005-06:00

The museum at Thanksgiving Point is awesome. If you have not been i would recommend it. It has the nations large complete TREX. There is a photo of all of our feet and one of the TREX claws. They also had an area that you can dig for dinosaurs, a really cool star room, lots of interactive things for the boys and great displays to see. There was a place that they could build their own dinosaur too. I could not believe that we had never been and it was so close to us. A must see!!!

ZOO day

2009-08-30T14:20:00.003-06:00

Our boys always love the zoo. We take them about twice a year. I think that helps them appreciate it more then the kids who go all the time. There are so many baby animals at the zoo right now. Our favorite was the baby giraffe. He is so cute, there is a photo of Jeremy and Bridger with the baby behind them. The photo of the boys leaning their heads together looking at the tiger is NOT staged. They just did that, that are too cute! And the photo of Jeremy and I with the gorilla Dyllan took!

Dyllan got a hold of the camera the other day and took these photos...
Pretty good for a 3 year old.
He would point the camera at you and say "say cheese" then after the photo was taken he would say "good photo!"

Montana 2009

2009-08-04T09:46:00.007-06:00

so here we are in Montana.
we spent the first week with Jeremy's family in Montana at Swan Lake.
We had a great time, it is always fun playing tourist and going to Glacier and taking time to enjoy all that home has to offer.

The rest of the time we spent hanging out with the Stayton's. I felt like I got to see everyone and spend a lot of time with everyone. It was so wonderful.

off to the FORK

Shawna’s placenta separated during delivery. Wesley inhaled a lot of blood, he has a lesion on the left side of his brain, it is causing seizures, he also has a infection, everything is still unknown, all of this might have been caused from trauma at birth or might have developed during pregnancy.
We are awaiting results, he will be one week old tomorrow. It is just a waiting game now.
Shawna & Chris had to go home with out him on Wednesday.
He is doing well, the doctors need to find out exactly what is wrong and then we can come up with a treatment plan.
We are just going day by day... please pray for him and put him on your prayer list at church if you can.

Please come back often for new news and photos of Wesley!

Dyllan turns 3!!!

2009-06-26T10:33:00.004-06:00

Here are a few photos from Dyllan's 3rd birthday. He was so excited to see his friends and cousins. We went to the pool and then back to our house for pizza, cake and presents. It was really rainy on his birthday, and now Dyllan and Bridger both have colds from swimming in the rain... lame!!! I can't believe Dyllan is 3!!! Happy Birthday to my oldest!

Air Show

2009-06-08T09:25:00.005-06:00

here are a few clips from the air show.

Air Show

2009-06-08T09:09:00.004-06:00

We went to the Air Show on Sunday. It was pouring down rain as you can see in the photos. We waited for about 3 hours for the rain to clear for the show to start, by then Bridger could not make it anymore and fell asleep. He slept through almost all the shows, and then finally woke up to a jet from the 1950s. It was so loud. After a few more shows more rain fell this time hail. At this point Dyllan was done and he fell asleep and slept until we left. He slept right through the Thunderbirds. It always amazes me what kids can sleep through. They were so loud, we covered Bridgers ears each time they passes over. Between all the rain and delays, we had a great time. Here are some photos and a few video clips. I must let you all know that we never bring our professional gear with us on outings so our personal photos and footage are never quite up to bar.

Last few weeks of Little Gym

2009-05-28T18:15:00.004-06:00

Dyllan has been in Little Gym for a year now.
This is is last few weeks. We are starting swimming this summer again and then off to pre-school this fall. He will then be old enough for T-Ball in the spring and many other activities too. We are so proud of everything he learned in gym. His solicalizing, balance, strangth, sharing, taking turns, and listening to his teach. He has really grown a lot in his class.
The photo of Bridger crying is a shot of him watching Dyllan during class. He wants so bad to go in and be apart of it. Thus, he will be starting Little Gym in the fall when Dyllan is in school.

A day with THOMAS

2009-05-22T17:19:00.007-06:00

We had a great time. It was a secret of where we were going until we got there and Dyllan saw Thomas on the track.
He was so excited! There was all kinds of things to do, trains to play with, petting zoo, story time, bubbles, balloon animals, face painting, and of course the main attraction THOMAS!
The train ride was a lot of fun and the view was so beautiful.
I love the photo of the boys tickling Jeremy, and the one for Dyllan blowing his train whistle. After we bought the whistle for Dyll, Jeremy and I looked at each other and said "why did we buy him a whistle?"

Mom and Greg Here...

2009-05-18T09:07:00.002-06:00

Mom and Greg were here for about 3 days. It was so wonderful to see them. We went to the Bee's game while they were here. Dyllan finally went up to Bubble to give him a high five. Bumble also signed his shirt, but as you can see in the photos, Dyllan is still a little unsurea about the whole thing.
I love the photo of all 6 of us. Bridger is so cute poking around my head!

Race for the Cure

2009-05-10T11:17:00.001-06:00

Race for the Cure was awesome!
there were over 18,000 people.
amazing how many people get behind the cure!
thank you to all of you who made donations to our race.
It was a 5k we walked most of it and jogged about one mile, there was so many people it was hard to get around people.
we finished at 1 hour, 4 minutes and 51 seconds!
the first photo is a shot of the line of people. if you look closely you can see a sea of people all the way down the street.

Batter UP!

2009-05-07T15:06:00.007-06:00

here we are at the baseball game for the Salt Lake Bees!
As you can see it was super busy this day.
The boys love the baseball games. I am always amazed that they can sit through an entire game with out causing to much ruckus.
This was a double header and they made it through both games!
Of course some cotton candy always helps!
Dyllan loves to bring his baseball glove and pretend to catch the ball and loves to pretend hit the ball when the pitcher throws it.

A day at the ZOO!

2009-05-07T14:50:00.005-06:00

Dyllan and Bridger like most kids love the zoo.
But I could not help but notice that Dyllan seemed to like it more then all the other kids. He was running around yelling out the different animals names and then making the noises that they make trying to get them to talk to him. It was so funny!
i love the photo of Jeremy and Dyllan feeding the Giraffe's and Bridger up against the window with the monkey in the back ground. oh... and the one of Dyllan looking at the huge turtle. I love them all!

the HUNT!!!

2009-04-13T09:32:00.004-06:00

We had an easter egg hunt in the backyard.
The boys got a swing set for Easter.
They both love to swing! Dyllan is so funny when he goes down the slide.
When he lands he stands up tall and says "tada!"

Decorating Easter Eggs

2009-04-13T09:26:00.004-06:00

dyllan loved decorating easter eggs.
he enjoyed using his hands to get the eggs out of the dye.

St. Patricks Day

2009-03-21T08:48:00.003-06:00

We were very festive to celebrate our IRISH heritage on St. Patrick's Day. We were also very busy. The only photos I got of us were in the car.

THE BIG BOY!!! bridger is one!

2009-03-21T08:25:00.008-06:00

For Bridger's actual Birthday Dad and Bev came down. They were here about 5 days. We went to Jumping Jacks. Which is an indoor play area with huge inflatable slides and jumpers. Then to the Outback for dinner and home for cake and ice cream. We had a great time. It was Dad's 54th birthday on the same day as Bridger's. It was nice to spend a birthday with my dad. I have some great video of us at Jumping Jacks. I will post them as soon as I can. Sorry, one photo repeats itself....

Bridger's 03-08 birthday party

2009-03-21T08:11:00.003-06:00

These photos are from the birthday party we had with family and frineds on Sunday the 8th. We has 32 people here. It is crazy how that many people can fit in our little house. Bridger was a little unsure about digging into his cake at first. But as you can see he got the hang of it. Jeremy, made the green dinousor cake. He is my betty crocker!

Mexico

2009-02-27T07:49:00.005-07:00

Mexico was amazing!!!
I love it there. We were in Chubrna, which is about 45 minutes from the city of Merida in the Yucatan. It is nothing like what you think of when you think Mexico. The people there are amazing. We hung out on the beach a lot, went to some mayna ruins, went to carnival and a cenotye. All the photos of the beach are just a 5 step walk off of Sandi's porch. Their house is right on the beach. There were seashells everywhere and so many different kinds of amazing birds. The photo of the guards on the beach where are personal watchman (thank you Roberto). There are some photo of the carnival parade, and one of Mexico monuments. Which was stunning. There are also 2 photos of the Cathedral in Merida. It is from the 1500s, amazing! Everything was just amazing. I want to take Jeremy and the boys there. I can't wait to go back.
Here are a few photos from my trip.

Hockey Game

2009-02-27T07:41:00.004-07:00

As many of you know we love hockey.
The boys can sit through a hockey game better then any other sports event we have ever gone to. There is only a few home games left. We are excited to for baseball season to start!
