Capitol Reef

Over Spring break we were able to make a quick, spontaneous trip to Capitol Reef National Park. I didn't realize how great this place is! Beautiful canyons, great weather and we got lots of hiking in. Maybe too much, Wyatt refused to get in the backpack so he pretty much walked the 2 1/2 mile hike at a snails pace! Peter found these really cute cabins for us to stay in. One room, two beds, electricity and a heater for $35! Loved everything about this little vacation. Aydan is already talking about going back over summer break.

The Cabin, how cute!

Sulfur Creek, such a fun hike.

Rocks, sticks and water= endless entertainment

Crazy Christmas

What a great Christmas. It wasn't without the stress but it was a lot of fun. We were able to have the entire Wiseman family here for Christmas. My younger brother, his wife and their precious son came from out of town, my aunt also was able to join us from out of town. We were so blessed to have a house full of family! I loved spending time with both my niece and nephew. They both are beyond special and I am so happy that the boys have cousins to grow up with. Aydan, Sam and Wyatt had a exciting Christmas season. Lots of late nights, tons of laughs and a lot of wrestling. This year all three boys enjoyed opening gifts and actually got excited for presents. Wyatt was the king of opening presents, not only his but everyone's. You will notice not a lot of pictures of Sam, there are two reasons for this. One he is too active to stay still for any amount of time and two he is in the phase where he doesn't do anything I ask. So when I say smile so I can take your picture he turns his face or hides. Oh Sammers! Aydan was happy to have both his cousins here, he loves babies. He is a sweet boy and is trying real hard to be grown up. I have to remind him that he is seven not seventy! Thanks to all my family for all their help, all the fun times, laughs, craziness and joy that you brought me, Peter and the boys! I love the Wiseman clan so very much!!

Halloween

It was a fantastic Halloween this year. The weather was perfect, the boys were so cute and we all had a lot of fun. The best part is the boys stopped asking for their candy the day after Halloween! Either because they know I won't give it to them or they are getting it somewhere else!

Wyatt and Peter.
He was so cute people just let him take as much as he wanted.

Silly Sam!

The Boss

My sweet Aydan! What a great little man he is. So very smart, logical but has a flare of creativity. He has been taking piano lessons and is actually quite good, even his piano teacher is impressed. Aydan is very sensitive, has a very kind heart and passionate. With passion comes some intense tantrums and fights with Sam. He is a helpful older brother and loves to read and play with Sam and Wyatt. Aydan loves to be in charge, hence The Boss nickname, he asks me frequently if he can be in charge and tell us what to do. He makes us laugh! Aydan thank you for all your help, for being so sweet and for your great foot rubs and shoulder rubs! You are the best little man.

I love this picture, he spent at least a hour pretending to be different animals in the pool. Can you guess which one this is?

Samuel Paul

What can I say about my Sammers. He is so full of life, so happy, and sweet. He loves to cuddle and is starting to enjoy reading books for longer than 5 seconds. One of my favorite things I do with Sam is when we put him to bed he always asks if I will lie with him. So we cuddle and visit. I love to see him smile and the look of enjoyment on his face is priceless. I love this little guy and he really is a joy to be around. We are still trying to figure out the best way to discipline Sam, he has us stumped in that aspect, so any advice would be great! Sam you have a great spirit and I hope you will always have such enthusiasm for life. We love you buddy!

Baby Wyatt

How cute is my baby Wyatt? He is such a kind, sweet, calm, happy baby and I can't believe his hair is still blond! He is beginning to talk a little, saying mama, dada, papa, and oh no. Wyatt's favorite thing is to read books, he loves to sit on your lap and read books for 20 minutes or more. While his brothers are running around and playing cars Wyatt is sitting and reading books. All the boys have such different personalities and it is fun to see Wyatt getting a personality and interacting more with his big brothers. We are so blessed to have him in our family. So many spiritual experiences have surrounded Wyatt and he truly is a gift from God (and really aren't all children a gift from God).
