MOOOO!!

Our favorite part of Clayton's costume was the wide poofy bum. It was so funny to watch him walk, it looked like he was waddling from behind.

Clayton was a cow for Halloween. He was pretty excited about it, he even found the costume himself. He did not want to go to the door of the first house, when we went trick or treating, but after they gave him candy he could not get to the next door soon enough. He loved it. He was mooing for people and asking them for treats the entire time. He did not pick up on the trick part of trick or treat and we would get to the door and he would say "treat a treat". It was adorable. He loved to see the other kids dressed up too! Unfortunately for us we only had about three trick or treaters and we have a ton of candy to eat :(, Clayton doesn't mind though.

Playing in the Leaves

Getting ready to throw the leaves on mom. Yay!!!

Bury the toys!

It lookes kind of weird to have snow pictures and then playing in the leaves in the fall. But with Utah weather the snow came and then the leaves fell. Clayton had a lot of fun raking the leaves, he loved to jump in them, crunch them, and throw them on mom. We also buried toys and stuffed animals. It was quite exciting for him.

Building Snowman

This is Clayton helping Dad roll the top of the snowman by laying on the snow. They had soooo much fun.

Clayton playing in the snow. He loves the snow. He was running around like crazy, his snow suit does not really fit him anymore but we made it work for the one day of snow.

This is the beginning of the snowman. Clayton did not know what was going on at first but he had fun following Ryan around the yard. Thanks to the crazy weather in Utah; Clayton and Ryan were able to play in the snow and made a huge snowman. Too bad it was melted the next day, but Clay will know what to do this winter- we can't wait!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Yeah!!! Clayton is going to be a cow for Halloween. He is very excited, he picked out his costume all by himself. We are going to go to the mall to trick-or-treat with Laura and Wes, and then when daddy gets home tonight we are going to go with him as well. We are very excited. Sorry it has been a while since i updated the blog but we just go the internet so I will be able to do it a lot more now. Hope everyone has a great Halloween!!!!!

Lake Powell

Hanging out on the house boat. Clayton loved to play with all of Ryans cousins. It was great.

Ryan skiing, he got even better by the end of the trip this was the first day.

Ryan loves to make drip castles, and bridges. This was the coolest one that he made with Amanda. She was very good at them, I think they spent half the time we were there making different drip castles and towns. It was lots of fun.

One of Claytons favorite things was to get buried. If you dug a hole he would jump in it and start covering himself with sand. This was done by Luke, this is the deepest he ever got.

This is Clayton and Luke, behind them is Olivia, Amanda, and Audre. He loved to play with all of them and was very, very sad when we left. He also loved to play in the sand, he spent almost all day for the entire week playing in the sand.

Clayton's 2nd Birthday

Clayton always loves his birthdays. He got lots of cool toys from grandma and grandpa. He loves his tools that you can see there and he got a train and he loves as well. Clayton loves trains and blocks, he spends most of his time playing with them.

Blow up Bouncer

Grandma Lym got a cool blow-up bouncer for the grandkids. Clayton Loves It!!! It is the greatest this for him because he loves to jump, usually it is off the couch so this is great. And a lot safer than the couch.

Cool Picture

This is a cool picture that we got of Ryan rock climbing.

Our Little Rock Climber

We found a great place to rock climb in Draper where Clayton can play. He loves it and he is getting pretty good at climbing himself.

Busy Busy Busy

Well this last month has been a busy one. I did not get to post pictures to my blog for a while so I did a slide show for them instead.
This last week me and Ryan were able to go on a back packing trip to Havaseu reservation and it was amazing. It was an 8 1/2 mile hike in and out of the canyon,and they have a campground where you can stay and swim in the beautiful waterfalls. We went with Ryans good friend Lane and his dad, and the scouts from his ward. You are able to camp right on the river and we hiked and swam everyday. Big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Purdy who watched Clayton for us so we were able to go. Below are the pictures of the waterfalls and other fun stuff there.

Back to Idaho!

So Ryan and his brother Brandan decided to climb Tablerock by the Tetons while there was still snow up there so they could get some really cool pictures, and they did. Then the next day we went rock climbing up by Heise at Elephant rock. It was really fun and it is a great place to climb if you have kids. It is a huge rock that pretty much sticks up out of a field so they can run around, its great. We got to see Joe and Natalee again (Yea!!) and we had a ton of fun.

Check out my Slide Show!

So the week of the 16th-20th we went to Cherry Hill. Clayton loved it! His favorite was the blue slides. Then the next day we went to the zoo. He loved that as well. He thought it was great to see all the animals close up instead of in books. He especially loves the giraffes and the elephants. That weekend we went camping and he got to play in the river. There were a couple of bulls that were hanging out on the other side of the river from us and they were the highlight of the camping trip. All he talks about still is the cow and he is constantly asking where the cow went. Then the next week Micah came to play and we went swimming in Claytons pool. They loved the water and then both layed down to dry off together.

Cute Boy

Clayton hanging out with dad. He loves to put on Ryans hats and run around. He is the cutest boy ever. Doesn't he look sooo cute.

Cattle Drive

Clayton on the horse with dad.
Some of the cows that Ryan was herding. These are the ones in the back with calves.
Here are a few more of them for you to see.
Clay on the horse again. Clayton loved riding on the horse. He was very very upset when we made him get down. He also finally started saying cow and horse that day. Clayton and Ryan both loved every minute of it.

Kitty!!

We had a kitten come stay with us for a week and Clayton loved it. He would wake up and ask for it first thing. He loved to watch it pounce on things and followed it around all day, one of the best babysitters I have ever had.

Our New Play Pen

Clay loves to play in the car. He will hang out in there forever. He likes to turn the stearing wheel and climb from the front to the back of the car. Its pretty great I get to sit in the passenger seat and read my book.

BUGS!!

Clayton just discovered bugs. He likes to watch them crawl around. We have quite a few ants around and he loves to follow them everywhere.
