Where have the last 2 months gone!!!

It has been forever since I have posted anything. These pictures are totally out of order, but I am to lazy to mess with blogger to put them in order. Six months ago we tore our back yard completely out, for six months we have had a house full of dirt, for six months we have been slowly putting our yard back together in between hectic work schedules! Trystan has had a blast with the dirt and the mud. Last weekend we got the curbing put in and Trystan helped daddy fix the sprinklers. Did you know that if you dig deep enough you find water in the ground:) Trystan filled in the holes faster than daddy could do what he needed to so I snapped some cute pictures then we went in to watch Nemo! For Labor Day we went to Kanosh, Utah. My grandparents live there, but have been on a mission in Wyoming since April. The weeds had taken over the horse corals and the garden as well as around the shop. I was excited to escape from the heat...that didn't happen it was in the 90's the whole time we were there. Everyone worked really hard and the weeds are gone, I entertained the monkey! We rode 4-wheelers, played on the mini excavator, and of coarse played in the water. We went to the park and played on the swings, and Mikie and Trystan almost fell head first off the slide. Mikie injured his shoulder catching them! It was great to see the family and Trystan had his little Aunties trained to do exactly what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it. All he had to do was point!

Trystan loved being outside the whole time we were in Kanosh as soon as he would wake up and pop his head over the side of the playpen he would start saying side, side, It was a real challenge to get the kid dressed to get out there.

He is starting to like the swings more and more all the time

Mini excavator!!! Beep, beep! (The horn was really annoying and Trystan loved to honk it over and over and over again)Cute Boy!

Lovin the gogogical (motorcycle, or popcicle the two sound the same)

Water!!!!

Last weekend we bought Trystan a Sandbox for the backyard. He loves it!!!! He throws it ontop of my head where it does not like to wash out of my long thick curly hair! He eats it, makes race tracks, and spends lots of time in it. I now realize that even when my yard is finished I am never going to have sand in the house where the dirt used to be!!! (but he is so much fun to watch and play with in the sand)
After playing hard in the sand we had to take a break for popcicles!

This weekend we finished our back yard!!! (Pictures of that to come). but Trystan had a blast riding in the wheelbarrow with papa!!!

Last but not least we learned a valuble lesson last month. Plastic Microphones catch on fire in the broiler! Mikie turned the oven on to back rolls and our broiler is underneath the oven. Trystan had placed his microphone in the broiler and neither one of us knew. Mikie could smell something burning and opened the broiler drawer to flames and ash that blew all over my kitchen! thank goodness nothing else was damaged!!
