NOW and THEN

In tribute to our three wonderful years at 2582 Navajo Circle, we're leaving 'you' in better shape than we found 'you'. Thanks for all the memories!

Then...can you say fish bowl...Now...the first thing you see as you enter our home...Then...well, a little better, we caught 'your' good side...Now...my favorite place from 11 pm to 7 am...
Then...do I dare...Now...many nights of pleasant dreams, stories, and songs...Then...in need of some gentle love...Now...it's full of memories and tender moments of small boys...Then...everywhere you look, wall-paper...Now...well, it's simply a kitchen...

Moments in Our Lives...

Ross begins working for the city of Jerome Idaho

Our little family now calls Jerome home, a place to live, a place to love, and a place to grow

December 2009
Reed is in Nursery, and Mom and Dad get to enjoy a spiritual lesson again on a regular basis

Dallin informed us that yes, Santa was baptized

I got my wisdom teeth taken out

January 2010
Reed sings the ABC's and counts to 6, and no one but Mom knows his language

Dallin gets his first set of water colors and fills our kitchen with creativity

Dallin is a Sunbeam

Reed got 2 more teeth

February 2010
Our first trip to the ER to have Dallin stitched up after falling and hitting his right cheek on the counter top

Dallin, "Mom you're kinda like a girl today, girls wear bows in their hair." I was wearing a headband.

Reed gets three more teeth and is holding strong to his 3 mo long cold

Reed finds enjoyment in making us gag by discovering him naked in the am and poop all over the crib and sheets, twice in one week, yuck!

March 2010
I've been putting a few velcro rollers in my hair when I blow-dry it to add some volume, and Dallin in so faithful in telling me that I'm kinda like a Grandma with rollers.

Little Reed is going on his second antibiotic to try and get rid of his ear infection.

Scott and Tristan married on Saturday the 13th in the Twin Falls Temple.

Reed's nickname for Dallin is DD, and it is so cute to hear him say it. He is getting really good and pointing to all his body parts when we ask where they are.

Dallin had his first primary participation this month by giving the 4th Article of Faith.

April 2010
Easter is fast approaching and they boys have loved coloring eggs, filling plastic eggs, and the trill of the egg hunt.

Before bed Dallin told me, "Mom, I'm proud of you for putting the eggs in the cups, and you're proud of me for putting stickers on the eggs, and you're proud of Reed for....stickers, and I'm proud of Dad too."

Reed is addicted to Grape Juice, that's right the purple stuff. I make him drink it in the kitchen and when he wants more and I tell him he needs to have water he pouts, and he is getting really good at it.

May 2010
"Mom, no more babies" says Dallin

Reed melts my heart as he comes into my room daily and says lay by, while climbing in my bed to comfort me

June 2010
Ross's sister Beth was married and while sitting at the outdoor reception we hear people start yelling Ross...I look over to see a bear bottom and a very focused little boy peeing amongst the crowd. Dallin was crushed as he told us everyone was laughing at him.

July 2010
Reed jumps around the house yelling "to infinity and beyond" at least 20 times a day

Dallin loves to look at the baby book to see how the baby has changed each month - still thinks it is a girl

Dallin took a piece of candy from the bins at Winco and we had to turn around and he had to go tell the store manager that he had stolen and was sorry

Dallin loves shapes, colors and rainbows! He has a set of mini Lightning McQueen books and he is always setting them up and telling me to come and see his rainbow. It wasn't until a few weeks ago I realized that he had and had been for a while been setting his books up ROYGBIV, just like the rainbow. He also does this when setting up other items of color or when coloring and painting - it amazes me

When asked where the baby is Reed will lift up his shirt and point to his belly

September 2010
Reed has such a love for his brother and copies most things Dallin does. He also shows his love for Dallin by continually saying, "One for DD" when ever he is given a snack

When Dallin does something Reed doesn't agree with he quickly yells Dallin Ross Hyatt - no idea where he got that from

October 2010
Good morning, Hi, Mommy, Daddy these are all words you'd expect to hear from a two year old as he comes into your room each morning - not from Reed - it never fails that the first words spoken and repeated several times are "I'm Hungry"

Dallin and Reed love to sing 3 songs every night, they include "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam", and "I am a Child of God"

Dallin thinks baby Hyatt should be named Eddie

A trip to Boise found us downtown and while we waited in the car for Ross two businessmen walked by in suits while Dallin replied, "There go some Prophets"

December 2011
Shout Hooray, Reed learns to go potty in the toilet after a long stuggle we learn that Dallin told him it hurt to go poop in the toilet, yet after a couple of successes he is 100 percent convinced that it is fun to go potty in the toilet. I am loving life!
