Cyrus uses the "Big Boy Potty"

One of Cyrus' potty books talks about frowning and smiling, and Cyrus is demonstrating his Cheesy fake smile for you. He's has been showing of his own personality more and more lately. His favorite thing about going potty is "pai-teet", or potty treat, and his second favorite thing is reading his books.

Finishing off a wonderful winter!

Soon after Christmas was over, we spent a few days in the deep, cold, two feet of snow! Cyrus had tonsilitis most of that time but he tried to lift his spirits by enjoying a little snow time and Grandpa's new record fish. Madison and Leesa came to town for MaLea's baby shower and Cyrus and Madison seemed to get along pretty well. They mostly wanted to play with the same toys and drink from the same cup. We can't wait to do it again!

Christmas time is here!

We had so much fun during Christmas here in Boise. We spent Christmas Eve at Uncle Floyd's house with his family, Grandpa Peek, Elaine's family, Yeeta's family, our whole family of course! Christmas day we went to open presents at Papaw and Mamaw's house then we had brunch at Great Grandpa and Grandma's house. Cyrus was old enough that he really enjoyed tearing open the rapping paper and discovering his fun presents!

Cute Cyrus Pictures

I had to share these pictures with you. We think they're pretty cute and funny. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Short and quick trip to Ashton

We went on a little trip to Ashton last weekend and it was a lot of fun. It was nice to get away from school and work (for the most part) for just a little while. Cyrus slept during church, and got to ride in the wheel barrow with grandma pushing him!

We stopped in Jerome to see Des, Tiffany and Parker on the way home, and Cyrus had so much fun with Parker's toys! He sat on the "Elmo couch" with Parker, played with the ducks in the pond, played with all the frogs (Pinksy, Greensy, Bluesy, Orangesy, Yellowsy, and Redsy) and read a book too! We can't wait to do all of that again.

(It's a rare occasion that I get three entries in over a ten day period, so you might not see another for a while.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Cyrus' favorite word is BOO! He loves to try to scare everyone. It's so cute because he doesn't understand it's not scary to shout boo when someone already knows you're there, just really really funny! We had a fabulous time trick-or-treating. Cyrus was the best Mummy ever. You'll just have to be your own judge by the pictures.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Hi everyone. The holidays are coming up and we can't wait for a vacation. I am taking eight classes in school right now, Lex is working harder than ever to get some new ideas going, and Cyrus has never been BUSIER! Mom, thank you so much for watching him all the time!!! He keeps us and everybody else chasing him around 24/7.
Halloween is just around the corner and Cyrus will be a mummy. I'll be sure and post the pictures. There's new news in the family. Sorry to those of you who we hadn't told yet, but we were expecting another baby. The baby was going to be born around the beginning of June, but Heavenly Father had other plans for that little Spirit. We appreciate all your love and friendship. Thank you to all those who know for your prayers. Keep in touch and we'll do the same! Talk to you all soon.

More changes, new things happening.

Lex was released from his FAVORITE calling in the Singles Ward bishopric recently, so this last week was our first time at the new ward. It will be great to get to meet lots of new people. It's back to school time and it's my last year! Oh, and most importantly, Cyrus is walking! We are so happy that he's running around and keeping us busy. He's so full of energy. It's great!

Fun Vacations this summer

We all had a family reunion in Ashton. Everyone was able to come and we had a great time! We also celebrated Cyrus's first birthday while we were there. Then Cyrus and I went to Snowbird with the gals in Lex's family while Lex stayed home and ran the show here at our new place. Just after the ladies left, lots of my family came to get in on the fun. We all had a blast! Went shopping, swimming, rode rides, you name it!

We're alive!

Long time no update, right? Sorry about that! We've had an amazing and busy but fun summer. Lex and the family (both his side and mine) got together and put on a fun event to sell some new houses we built. We're still waiting for them to sell, but keeping our fingers crossed! We also moved into our first home at the beginning of July. It's spaceous ;) and beautiful and we love it! iv>

To the beach... in January???

Yes in January! The sun was shining, the lodging was affordable, and well pretty much Cyrus and I had a blast on the Oregon Coast with Mamaw and all the ladies in the Peek/Dean ladies families.



We went to all the shops on the beach and ate at the "Sea Hag".



The salt water and beautiful beach must have made us long for summer... either that or it made us a little crazy. Rebecca looks like she's trying to surf on that huge tire!



Cyrus was a lone male (most of the time) among many women and he was spoiled the entire time. Mamaw, Aunt Elaine and Aunt Yeeta bought him new train conductor clothes and they are so adorable on him! He was held the entire time, including while he was sleeping. It might be tough to get back to our usual sleeping routine after this trip.

Aunt Leara made beautiful shoulder bags for each lady who came to the coast. She used Grandma Norma's material in each bag and put so much time and thought into designing each bag uniquely for every one of us. We will always treasure our bag. Thank you Aunt Leara!

Start planning now because we hope to make these girl retreats an annual event!!!
