"Livin' in the Dream"

Whenever anyone asks Ryon how he's doing, he will usually always reply with, "I'm livin' the dream!" I think Hoyt has heard Ryon say this hundreds of times. This past week Ryon took Hoyt with him to see one of his farmers who has a little boy Hoyt's age. After doing some business the guys took the boys sledding.

Ryon said that Hoyt had the best time! After sledding down the mountain a handful of times, Ryon asked Hoyt if he was having a good time. Hoyt replied with, "Dad....I'm livin' in the dream - I'm livin' in the dream!" Safe to say he enjoyed himself!

More of Pocatello...

While we were in Pocatello visiting with Grandma Hoyt and baby Brooklin, Landon turned "3". Hoyt was happy that he could go to Landon's party, and give him Hungry, Hungry Hippo for his present. Here are a few more pictures of all the fun!

Happy Birthday Landon!!

Ava was more interested in using her spoon to eat water than cake and ice cream!

Grandma Hoyt

Grandma came to Idaho to visit Noelle and new baby Brooklin, so we headed over to Pocatello for a few days to visit too! We hadn't seen grandma since August, so everyone was excited to spend some time together. While we were there, we celebrated Landon's third birthday and also got to see Grandma and Grandpa Murray. Lots of fun...lots of chaos...lots of running and screaming around Noelle's house...etc. I'm sure Noelle was happy to have us leave after three days!!

It took a day, but Jett finally warmed up!




Mr. Handsome


My mom gave Hoyt a cool light saber with two light up swords. Jett loves it too!


Hoyt playing the Wii at grandma and grandpa Murray's. He is hooked!

And We Are....

officially walking! It only took a few days of trial and error, learning to hold his arms either over his head or at his side for balance, and one big brother to assist (if you can call it that)....and he had it!! I have to say that babies learning to walk are just about the cutest things ever. We can hardly believe how big our little Jetty is getting. He is quite the character and thinks he is pretty important, especially now that he can walk!

Quad Ridin'

If there is one thing Hoyt loves to do, it's ride the quad with his dad! He loves to go fast, fast and FASTER! I didn't even know the boys were outside riding quads, and then I looked at the back window and saw this! It looks like they're having fun!

Fun in Blackfoot

After spending two days at Noelle's, we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Murray. Hoyt had fun playing with Marcus and Grandma, while Jett made a major breakthrough on the visit - learning to feed himself!! On the last day of our visit, Ryon and Grandpa Murray went pheasant hunting. Hoyt and Landon were pretty interested in the dead birds - I think we have a few future hunters on our hands!
