November

Well it’s been another busy month. We had a great Thanksgiving. It’s amazing all the things that we have to be Thankful for.

Breckston turned 2. He was so cute at his party. He loved opening his presents and loves cake. He is so spoiled.

We found out Breckston is going to have a brother or a sister. He seems to think it’s a sister and then he thinks it’s a brother and a sister. I guess we'll have to see. We have been busy hunting again this month. We went to Deseret on our cow elk hunt. Tyler shot his and I missed so we get to go back up. The guide walked my butt off. It was way fun though and we saw tons of elk, just couldn't get close enough. We also went Swan hunting on Thanksgiving. We couldn’t get anything to fly close enough. I guess we will be going back out for those as well.

October

We had a lot of fun in October. Its been busy so I haven't had time to share. We started out the month hunting. We left Breckston with family and headed up to our hunting spot. We should've had at least 1 elk and 2 bucks, but we ended up with 1 buck. Tyler shot a 4 point. He was a nice buck.

When we came home we took Breckston to the Zoo. Breckston loves animals. We also went to the Cheesecake Factory and Cabelas. It was a fun date with Breckston.

We went with my dad and Jeannie up to Willard and the kids played in a little maze at one of the fruit stands. We had the kids pick out a pumpkin. We came back to my dads and the kids painted the pumpkins. They were all messy. Kaiden was so cute he just wanted to eat it. Breckston had Tyler help him with his pumpkin. I think that the adult boys had just as much fun or more fun painting the pumpkins. We went over to the Halls house and carved pumpkins. We had a fun Halloween with family.

Update

Well its been a while so I figured I'd update:

• We went camping all over the North Slope of the Uintas about 7 times including last weekends Labor Day trip
• We caught to many fish to count Tyler learned how to fillet them so they are easier to eat
• Our tent zipper broke so we had to borrow a tent for a trip or two
• We bought a tent trailer to replace our tent
• Tyler and I drew out on Deseret cow elk tags which means we have 6 tags all together for elk and deer
• Tyler had a bet with some guys he works with to loose weight by Oct 1. Tyler has lost a total of 34.5lbs so far. He met his goal of 30lbs already
• BRECKSTON is just growing up!!! He is starting to talk like crazy and is just the joy of our lives.
• We finally got Breckston into his toddler bed and he does really well. It has been helpfull because he now doesn't have to sleep between us up camping. He gets his own bed!
• We Love this little guy and can't wait to see what he'll do and say next.
• School started again and hasn't been too bad so far. It's almost over at least until Grad school

We are getting ready for the hunting season to start. We are just enjoying our lives right now and especially Breckston. He is just a joy to be with even though he is a daddy's boy. We'll try and do better on posting.

The Draw

Well after waiting a whole 2 months after we applied for the draw; We found out what we will be hunting this fall. We once again drew out on the buck/bull tags. These have been a family favorite for the last few years and we have been lucky enough to have drawn it for three strait.

We are a little tired of culling the heard by shooting the little ones so here are the ones that we are after this year.

Here is my Projected '09 buck

Here is the bull that Tracy plans on shooting.

And here are some other possibilities

New Pictures of Breckston

Breckston was so cute when we went to get his pictures. He is so good at being a Ham.

He is starting to look like such a big boy.

Easter Fun!

This was our Easter weekend. Sorry for all the pictures but we had a lot of fun with family. It was also Jasons Birthday party. Happy Birthday to Jason last week. Sorry it took so long we are blog slackers.

Breckston coloring eggs. Our fingers were dyed all sorts of colors. He made a mess.

Blaine and Ethan coloring eggs

We had a little easter egg hunt in our back yard with all the kids. They had lots of fun. It looks like Breckston scored. His basket is full.

I love Candy!!

Breckstons' Easter Basket

Breckston Finding his new Easter toys

Breckston got this hoop from grandma and grand dad hall. He loved it.

That is all he wants to play with. He says "Dunk It"

Tyler being himself at Easter dinner at the Hall's house.

Nap Time

It was so sweet yesterday. Breckston fell asleep sitting on the love sac with me. He never does that. Really, the only place he sleeps is his crib since he was really little. He must have been tuckered out. He slept for about an hour. Breckston twitched, snored and sucked his thumb while laying by me. I wonder if he'll ever give up that thumb.

My 1st Niece

She is so cute. I'm excited that we have a girl after 6 boys on my side. Shanna said that she already has a temper. Well she's in for a change after 2 boys.

It was also Austins' Birthday on Wednesday March 11. He is such a littl guy. Happy Birthday Austin!

Salt Lake Temple

We had the opportunity of going to the Salt Lake Temple for the first time for a session. We have been talking about going for a long time and we just never make the time to go down there and do a session. The temple is so amazing. It’s so nice just to go and feel the spirit. I just love to go and forget about the world outside. It is such a stress reliever. We had a lot of fun with Stacie and Justin. We went to dinner after at Red Robin. We met Nate and Kourt. It was fun to just hang out and chat. We haven’t spent time with friends in a while and it was nice to have a change of pace. Thanks Stacie for inviting us. We should do it again soon.

Jazz and more!!

Its been a little while since our last post. We have been busy with work and Tyler has been busy with school as well. He only has one more class after this semester. I'm so excited. We went to the Jazz game Saturday with Tyson, Capri, Logan, and Jenna. It was fun going on a date and sit on the second row from the top. We like Jazz games maybe next time they will win, but we saw some awesome dunks by Millsap (one of Tyler's favorite players)and Lebron James.

Other fun news Alison did have her cute big baby on Dec 19. He weighed 9lbs 3oz. Breckston just loves to hold him. He is so cute with him. He really needs a brother or sister. Not yet though. We have been working on our house more. Maybe we'll get it done so we can sell it. Does anyone want a house? We want to sell so we can save up money for a new house in a year or so. Who knows what will happen. I guess we will just have to see. Well hope all is good for everyone!!

My wife's a sweet heart

Tracy decided to get me a new gun for Christmas. I wanted another one before any more restrictions came in place with the new presidency. She had my uncle and everyone else lie to me and told me that i wouldn't get it until mid January. Well somehow on Christmas eve she snuck it under the tree after we had taken care of all of Breckston's presents. He is sure spoiled. Well here is the picture of my new gun.

Breckston has decided that he really likes to drive the truck. The way that the car seat is situated and the fact that the truck only has the two doors, it is a pain to get him in the back. When we go places Tracy will get in and then i put Breckston on the seat. The first time we did that he got all excited and grabbed the stearing wheel and jumped up and down. It is even better when i start the truck for him. He goes bananas making car noises and bouncing all over as well as turning the stearing wheel just a little. He is such a cute little stinker. We couldn't have asked for a better little boy.
