Merry Christmas

Christmas Party

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year with my family.  No one got sick, the food was tasty, the activities were a blast and the company couldnt have been better!!

The start of our Amazing Race at Scheels.

First leg of the race...the ferris wheel. This was our team.

This was part of Haydens team.

Gramps in action

After Thanksgiving we had our annual Lyman family Christmas party. 

Santa got a little crazy this year and made some of us act like reindeer.

The cute little boys all dressed up for the party

Lots of girls

The girls got matching outfits for the party. 

I just have to brag about my Dad for a minute.  He took the three oldest out shopping for new outfits.  He took them all over the mall and then to Old Navy where Colin and I ran into them and were able to give some assistance.  If they didnt find anything there he was going to take them to Target and Walmart.  If that isnt a good Grandpa I dont know what is. :)

Halloween 2012

 We had a fantastic October and ended it with an awesome Halloween!

For records sake, I will admit I turned 30 that same day. :) This is us enjoying our free meal from Red Robin! 

Cute little boy and not so cute big Mama

I thought I would give you all a peek at my pregnant self.  In this picture I am about 23 weeks...yes only 23 weeks!! In my defense this little guy is measuring two weeks big, that my excuse for looking 8 months pregnant! :)

 A couple of weeks ago Colin and I were able to go up to Washington to the San Juan Islands.  We spent three days taking ferries around the different islands.  It is so pretty up there and we had a lot of fun.

Here we are on the ferry. It was a little chilly, so I got some hot chocolate.

This is Colin's new dream. to own a yacht and park it here.

I love this picture!

One of the islands was called Guemes and Colin's great grandpa was from there.  We found his grave site and were able to visit some of his relatives that still live there.

Enjoying the view from the ferry.

This guys was pretty cute, but we really wanted to see an Orca.  We still aren't sure if we did.

While we there we celebrated our sixth anniversary.  I am a lucky girl to get to spend my life with this man!!

Here is the headstone for Colin's grandpa. Carson Charles is named after him and Colin's Dad.

This is the cemetary where he is buried. So pretty!

When we drove past this field there was a bald eagle just sitting right in the middle of it. When we back up to get a picture it flew away,. Still a pretty picture.

These were our travel buddies.  My sister and her husband. Thanks for a great trip guys!!

Instagram

 Instagram is my new favorite thing. It took me a while to figure out what it is all about, but now that I now I am a fan.  Here are some of our latest and greatest.

Our first time at Kennacott. It was pretty impresive.

Yo Gabba Gabba Funny Faces.

We went to Classic Skating and had the entire place to ourselves. The kids thought it was pretty cool.

Working hard at the library

New backpacks from Uncle Dean

Last Sunday we headed up Provo Canyon to see the leaves. They were incredible!!!

We love Granny Jo and Grandpa

Last game of the Season. Hayden did amazing this year. I was so proud of how hard she played every game.

FHE with the Gibbons Fam

For Colin's Dad's 60th birthday we all went to Cornbellys. I had never been before and I thought it was well worth the money. The kids all loved it and were still not ready to go even after we tortured them by spending 45 minutes in the corn maze.

Can you see Carson's little head poking up.  He loved this tractor.
