SANTA!!

We made our yearly visit to Santa in Delta. It is always so fun! I think this is the first year that Jace didn't cry! Jace was really upset while standing in line this year. He is very worried that he isn't going to get what he is asking for. He REALLY REALLY wants his own Mountain Dew for Christmas and a piece of coal. Yes...coal. So, when your son asks for coal for Christmas...what do you threaten him with?

Dreyton was excited to ask for a Nintendo Dsi...but goofed up and asked for the Ds instead. He wanted to cry afterwards. Good thing we can write Santa letters to clear things up.

My sweet baby.

Who's picture is this anyway?

So, I was trying to take a picture of just me and Kyson....it didn't really work out that way though.

It started out with just us two...

Then Jace decided to pop in...
Then Dreyton and Cameron (I call him my 4th son, he is here so much he is part of the family) had to come and join in....

And then I got pushed out.

Kysons Baby Blessing

We had such a great time and Kyson's baby blessing. It was so fun to have family around! We are so lucky to have such great supportive families! I love them!

What a sweet little baby

Jaces preschool Halloween party. He's the football player.

Halloween

I am so far behind in blogging. Life is a little overwhelming and busy with a newborn. Who knows, I might even cancel this blog all together. Till then, here is a couple pictures of Halloween.

This guy is awesome! He has on 3 feet tall stilts and is so creepy looking. The whole neighborhood loves it!

My little vampire.

Freaky eyed mummy

My cute little boys

Carving pumpkins...yes, my boys got my weak stomache and we use gloves to carve pumpkins.

And Jace is wearing his every day black marks under his eyes, he thinks he is a real football player.

So cute

I have soooo much catching up to do...but I'll do that some other time. For now I just wanted to post a quick picture. We had Ky's baby blessing this weekend and Becky took this picture of Camille and Ky together. I love it and think it is so cute, so I had to post it real quick.

Sweet baby Kyson

All these pictures are out of order, but oh well, you get the idea.
Our newest member of the family came on September 27 at 3:36 pm. We names him Kyson David Rowley and he weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz.. I was excited to have a baby under 9 1/2 pounds, he looked so tiny. Everything went perfectly! Well, except my studid guy that gave me the epidural, he sucked! It hurt so freakin bad! I took care of things afterwards though and ended up punching him pretty hard in the arm. It felt so good. I just wish I wouldn't have held back and punched him harder. Next time....

Here is the day that the boys were brought back from my moms to see their new baby brother. Thanks again mom and dad for taking the boys!!!!
The boys came back from my moms with black paint in their hair, they thought it was awesome!

Look at those teeny tiny hands. I love it!

Here is the veiw from my bed. It was so pretty at night with the sun set behind the capitol.

He is just the sweetest thing in the whole world! I love him so much! I forget how amazing it is to have a newborn in the house. I am loving every second!

D's #7

D turned 7 last month. He was so excited to have all his buddies over. I don't know what I as thinking though, telling him he could have a big friend party...I was huge, fat, pregnant and miserable. Luckily I have the best husband in the whole world who took over during the actual party so I could just sit there and enjoy the weather. I don't think he can help himself, he gets more into the parties than the kids do! It's so funny to watch! I have to say how much I LOVE having all boys!! I love having these parties that are wild and out of control. Little boys are hilarious! We let the boys play on the bonzai slide for a while then had a wild game of water dodgeball....boys against Dustin. Then some water tag and water ball fights. We ended the party with tons of pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. It was so much fun!

Taking a break and getting warm on the cement.
The whole wild crew.

Dodgeball.

1st Day of School

Here are some pic's of the fist day of school. Jace was SUPER excited to start pre-school! He loves wearing his bakpack around and thinking he is a big boy. It is so sad to see him getting so big so fast.

Here is Dreyton and Jace on Dreyton's first day of school. He started out wearing this outfit but had to change 1 minute before school started. Boys are gross. Within the 5 minutes he was wearing this shirt he had wiped dirty hands on it and wiped his mouth and boogers on it. Yuck!!

Same first day, different shirt. He was pretty nervous to go into the 1st grade, that explains the look on his face. Smiling for the picture in the middle of crying. He survived the first day though and now loves it. Well....loves having school lunch anyway. Thats his favorite subject!

Drey's Tonsils

Here are a couple of shots of Dreyton before and after he got his tonsils out. I was sooo proud of him! He was sooo brave, and such a trooper for having no food the entire day.

Before Surgery:

(he thought the comfy hospital clothes were awesome)

After:

(I hate looking at this picture, it is so sad)

Here is a pic of his nasty tonsils. He promised the Doc he would be good if the doc would save his tonsils for him to see afterwards. We were told to take a picture of it cuz Dreyton probably wouldn't remember seeing them. The Doctor said his tonsils and adnoids were the size of an adult mans. No wonder he couldnt' ever breathe!

Great Grandparents

My grandparents came to Salt Lake last month and met us over at Beckys house. We never get to see them so it was really nice to sit and visit. We only get to see them every 3 years or so. I hope that one day soon we can go visit them and I can introduce Dustin and the boys to the rest of my dads side of the family. They live so far away, it is hard to do.

My Aunt Karen came along too. It was so fun to see them!

July 24th

Getting ready for the Hinckley parade. The boys love doing the fun run in the morning so they can get their yearly Hinckley shirt.

My parents had the swimming pool out and ready when we got to Hinckley. I love that my dad always joins in the fun, whether its playing around in the pool, or wrestling with the boys in the hosue, he is always right in the middle of it.

The boys thought my dad was hilarious when he came outside to swim dressed liked this, plus, you cant see them, but he was wearing knee high socks. So funny!

July

I'm still trying to get all caught up. I don't think it will ever happen though. Oh well, I'll try.

Dustin was in Georgia for two weeks so I took the boys to Hinckley. My parents spoiled the boys rotten, as usual. They had SOOO much fun. My dad bought the boys a cowboy hat and took them to the rodeo.

Here is the three of them holding on to the hitching post (front fence)
They looooved it! I think they mostly loved just being with Grandpa and having 'guy time'.


We took the boys to Boondocks a couple of weeks ago to play miniature golf. It was soooo much fun! The boys had such a good time! We'll definitly go back as soon as possible. It was such a fun day with the fam!

Then the boys had to spend time in the arcade. I'm not much of a 'gamer' so I don't understand the fun in it, but oh well, we were there for the boys, not for me. Next time I think we'll do lazer tag!

Jace is trying to smile but he was freaked out by the tiki head guy behind us.
