Brayden's 2nd Birthday!

For Brayden's birthday party I made him a tiger cake. Tristan and London helped me make the cake. Zach chose a carrot cake so I called my mother-in-law for a recipe. The kids loved the badder so I left them some to eat.

Brayden's legs aren't quite long enought yet for his bike so we tied a rope around it and pulled it along.

Brayden was soooo excited, as always, when his brother and sister got home last night. He was hugging and kissing them all night and he layed by Tristan to watch a movie.

Birthday sleds

2010-03-13T17:45:00.000-08:00

For the kids birthday we gave them some sleds. We took them outside and played on them right away. The all giggled as the rode down the hill. At the bottom of the hill grandpa Jim would catch the kids so that they didn't wreck into the fence. They loved riding on the snow!

New baby Girl on the way!

2010-02-04T12:39:00.000-08:00

So my parent's met Zach, Brayden and I last night in Kemmerer for my ultrasound. We found out the exciting news that we are having a baby girl. We are all so excited. Her is name will be Sierra Mae Clyde. Thanks to my parents for making the drive up to see us. It was great to share the special moment with you both. We love you!

Summer Pictures!

2010-01-16T07:01:00.000-08:00

This is our yearly trip to Bear Lake with my family. We always have such a blast.

Brayden loves to watch big trucks so I took him outside one afternoon when they were cleaning up an oil mess. He sat in his chair and watched the truck until he fell asleep.

In August we went to Jackson Hole with the kids and some friends. It was so cold!

Brayden loves to put this hat on when we go to Grandma Becky's house.

The kids watching a movie on a camping trip.

After one of our camping trips, Brayden was excited to get home to his toys. he was playing with a big rescue truck, tripped and fell on top of it causing a gash in his left eyebrow. I took him to the Dr and they glued and taped it up. They did that because they thought it would be less traumatizing then stitches. I'll tell you what, it took three of us to hold him down and 15 minutes to glue it up. It was not a fun experience.

This summer we took our new toy hauler up the mountains a couple of times camping...not as much as we would have like to.

Brayden and I went to Idaho Falls to visit my brother Mike. Uncle Mike had Brayden laughing the whole time. We had a great time. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then we went back to the hotel to swim.

Cabo

2010-01-06T20:45:00.000-08:00

So I have a lot of catching up to do. I have blogged since my wedding this summer. A couple of weeks ago, Zach and I went on a late honeymoon trip to Cabo, Mexico. We had a blast. We fell in love all over again. While we were out there we went marlin fishing twice, snorkling, sunset cruise and many walks on the beach. The weather was amazing out there. I came back tan, but it is fading fast because there is no sun out here. I have to mention that it was -30 degrees when we left Big Piney. Thankfully the weather is getting a little warmer now. Well, I'll try to catch up the best I can with a few pics of the different things we have done over the last several months!

Summer Fun!

2009-07-01T22:16:00.000-07:00

The kids love going swimming. I took the kids to the Pinedale aquatic center this week and they had so much fun. They have a submarine slide that London and Tristan loved playing on. I was busy the entire time trying to keep Brayden from drowning. All he wants to do is go to the deep end where he can't touch and when I hold him and help him swim, he gets mad.

Ryan's Park

2009-06-02T11:53:00.000-07:00

Zach and I took Brayden to the park. We had so much fun. He so cute running around and exploring. He didn't want to stay in the toddler area because he wanted to be where all the big kids were. I love the way he points at things and plays with Zach's sunglasses. I took all three of the kids the other week, but my camera was packed so I didn't get to take any pictures. They all love the park.

First Sleep Over!!

2009-04-04T18:55:00.000-07:00

The kids had Jaxton sleep over when he was in town. They all had a blast! Zach went to bed early so I had to stay up with the kids and get them in bed. It sure was hard to get them to go to sleep. They wanted to keep playing.

London and Tristan's birthday

Day at Grand Targee

2009-04-04T09:23:00.001-07:00

Quality time together!

2009-02-07T19:37:00.000-08:00

This weekend Zach and I went to the hunting expo at the Salt Palace. This is the third year in a row that we have gone. We always have such a great time. This year we got a hotel room and had no kids around-oh la la! My amazing friends Jamie and her husband Tyler watched Brayden. I appreciate them so much. They take such good care of him.
After the expo on Friday, we went to The Market Street Grill with a few friends. We had a delicious dinner and were stuffed to the max. After dinner we went back to our room and then went for a dip. The next morning we saw Jim Shockey in a seminar. He was entertaining. Then I got to see some family-Gary and Whit-whom I both love and I also saw Doug, a great friend. On our way out we decided to stop and see Zach's sister Tera and run into Buckle. Brayden had an explosion in his pants that was going all over the place in front of everyone. We got him changed and headed home. We got home and Brayden had a few more explosions and vomited all over the place. He clearly was not feeling well. Anyways, I just got him down so I'm going to go relax.

2009-02-07T19:03:00.000-08:00

Zach and I took the kids to Pinedale last weekend. We had a great time. The mountains are so beautiful out there. We took a cooler and stuff for tuna fish sandwiches for our lunches and ate out for dinner. At night we went to the pool/hot tub in our hotel. The kids loved it. Brayden had so much fun in the water. He would walk right into the water without anyone, so we had to keep an I on him. Zach was teaching all three kids how to hold there breath under water. Trystan cried everytime, London didn't like it much-but she did good, Brayden just gave a look like "Dad what are you doing to me?". We practiced teaching the kids how to float on their backs and how to float with the long floaties. Tristan loved the floaties as soon as he got the hang of it.

Family fun in the snow!

2009-01-07T20:18:00.000-08:00

When we have the kids we love to go outdoors and play. Last weekend we went to a small hill next to our house. The kids got a new sled for Christmas so we had to go try it out. The first time Tristen and London went down they cruised. It was awesome. The next ride down Tristan went by himself and wrecked. He didn't cry he just got back up and was ready for more. The next time Tristan and I rode together. We crashed and I all but landed on him. He looked at me and told me he was done. I convinced him to go with Zach. Zach did much better at working the sled, so I let him take over and watched the rest of the time with Brayden. We brought some hot chocolate to enjoy. After we left we passed a cop. We suspect he was heading over to kick everyone off the hill. We left just in time!

Brayden loves driving our trucks!

2009-01-07T20:06:00.000-08:00

Brayden giggles when he gets to drive with Zach or I. He has such a strong grip on the wheel it is hard to pull him off.

The Farnsworth Christmas Party

2009-01-07T19:29:00.000-08:00

Brayden and his cousin are playing with his Christmas present from Grandma Eunice at the Christmas party. All the little kids loved it. Brayden also had fun hanging out with his Aunt Tara. When I tried to take a picture, he would not sit still.

Working Hard!

2009-01-07T19:23:00.000-08:00

The day after Christmas, Zach had to go install some doors at a home he is building. The main door needed to be installed and it was too heavy for one person to lift so I drove out to help him. I didn't have a babysitter so I put Brayden in a pack on my back.

My day off!

2008-12-23T22:15:00.000-08:00

I love Tuesdays because it is usually my day off so I get to be home with Brayden. He is such a handsome boy. He is growing so fast. He is now nine months. He says moma, but usually only when he is upset and he is crying for me. He also says dada and has said baba once for his Aunt Nichole. Brayden is so close too walking. He takes 3-6 steps and then he falls. Brayden loves food. He will eat about anything we give him. If we are eating without him he gets so mad. We have to try to cordinate our meals so we eat at the same time to try to prevent him from having to many meals. It is so much fun to introduce new foods to him and watch his reaction. I just love watching him develop.

Christmas Tree Hunting

2008-12-23T22:04:00.000-08:00

We have a family tradition to go find a Christmas tree and cut it down after Thanksgiving. This year we put snow suits on all the kids and took them up. We had a great time and found a beautiful tree. Tristan did awesome in the snow. London had a hard time. I don't think it was as enjoyable for her. Brayden had a great time until Zach put him down in the snow and with all his clothes on he couldn't hold up his head so he face planted it in the snow. He looked so adorable.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-23T21:58:00.000-08:00

I know I'm posting this a month late, but I have been so busy. Brayden is 8 months in these pictures. He loves standing up an is getting close to walking. For dinner I gave him a plate of mashed potatoes and corn. He fed himself. It was so adorable. He just loved it!

2008-11-14T21:37:00.000-08:00

While Zach was gone hunting I was babysitting London for a few hours. She brought over a bag of skittles which I opened for her. I left Brayden with her for a minute and went into the kitchen. When I came back, Brayden and London were sitting across from each other and between them were skittles all over the ground. From behind I looked like Brayden was trying to eat them. My stomach dropped and I ran to him. When I got to him I saw that He was eating a piece of licorice. London had given it to him. I cleaned up the skittles and put a towel under Brayden so that he could enjoy his candy. It was so cute. He loved it.

Happy Halloween!

Here is the pumpkin I carved.

Daddy & Brayden time (with mommy supervision)!

2008-11-14T21:14:00.000-08:00

Get these poka dots off of my head!

Brayden loves to play with his daddy! Except for the night that Zach ripped my pj bottoms in half and wrapped a piece around Brayden's head. He didn't like that at all. Zach sure thought it was funny. I'm out a pj bottom so I'm was real excited about that.

2008-11-14T20:41:00.000-08:00

More pictures from my Idaho trip!

2008-10-21T17:24:00.001-07:00

Well I have tried to download my recent pictures, but they are not downloading. It tells me there is an error. So if anyone has any advise I would really like it. Anyways, I just want to shout out to my brother whom is away from his family working hard. I love you so much Mike. You are such an awesome brother. I had so much fun when I came and stayed with you guys. Nichole, thanks for everything. Your house is beautiful. You are such and amazing mother and wife. Jaxton and Kadence, what can I say besides you are two of the four best looking kids around. The other two I have to mention is my son Brayden and nephew Mason. I'm so happy to have such incredible people in my family.

Trip to Idaho

2008-10-21T17:24:00.000-07:00

Brayden, Matthew and I went to Idaho last week to stay at Mike and Nichole's house. We had such a good time. Brayden loved playing with Jaxton and Kadence. I'm so excited to watch them all grow up and play with each other. I think they will all be very close.

While we were there we went to the zoo with the kids dressed up in there halloween costume. Kadence was a sheep, she was so adorable. On the way home we went to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins to carve. It was my first time carving pumpkins. Brayden touched the inside of the pumpkin. He pulled such a funny face. I don't think he liked the feel much.

CANYON PICTURES

2008-10-21T16:59:00.000-07:00

Zach and I took the kids up the canyon for pictures. Brayden was so well behaved. He just loves being in the outdoors. I put him down and let him explore the world around him. Tristan cried a lot until Zach told him to staighten up and then he smiled real cute for the pictures. London couldn't keep her focus for very long. Zach didn't have that much trying to get all the kids to pose. He said that it is the last time he'll get us all together for a while for pictures until the kids pose a little better. What do you expect-they are kids. Ha Ha!

2008-10-16T13:20:00.000-07:00

Tristan doesn't play with Brayden very often, but when he does it is really cute. Brayden loves his big brother and sister so much. He loves it when they come over. Brayden crawls around the house following the kids when they play.

Brayden playing at grandma's house

2008-09-28T08:09:00.000-07:00

When I go to work Brayden spends the day with Grandma Becky. She has so much fun with him. Brayden is growing so fast. He is now crawling and sits himself up. I have to be careful now and make sure that the carpet is cleaning. He found a grape the other day and tried to eat it. He is also getting close to pulling himself up holding on to objects. At his Doctor appointment last week he weighed 18.15 lbs. He got weighed again a couple of days ago is over 19 lbs. He is 27 inches long. The Dr. sayed that Brayden acts like he is nine months old. He is such a strong boy. I am so proud of him. Brayden loves to play games. He thinks it is fun to go back and forth to people when they hold their arms out. He also laughs when he sees himself in the mirror. Peek-a-boo is also another game he loves to play. Brayden is a very good eater, he loves to eat anything we give him. I can introduce baby meats to him in 1-2 months. I can't believe how time flys.

My first buck!

2008-09-21T20:54:00.000-07:00

Well I shot my first buck. It was such an amazing experience. Zach also got a buck. I spotted it for him. The buck was beautiful, it was still in full velvet. It took three people and two days to pack our camp and deer out of the mountains. We hiked up past 10,000 feet high, which was about a 5 mile hike. I was packing out as much weight as the guys were. We have been eating the deer meat the last few days. It is the best deer meat I have ever tasted! I believe that if you are going to hunt something you better eat the meat. If you aren't planning on eating it, you shouldn't be hunting it.

We could not get Tristan to pose decent. He is such a goofball.

2008-07-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

I went to my mom's house for an hour. I left London and Brayden with Zach. When I got back Zach and Brayden were both asleep. Poor London was wondering around the house playing with herself. So the rest of the night London and I hung out. She helped me put up the laundry. She took a pair of Zach's under and put it on. It was so cute!

Brayden's first bath:)

Daddy loved giving him his first bath, Brayden kept sucking on his hands while Zach was washing his hair, It was so cute! Then when the nurse was doing his hair we found out that he had some natural curl to it, that is one thing I was hoping he would get from his daddy.
