Denali (The Diva)

Denali, Denali, Denali!!!
This kid is going to be the death of me! I know my mother does a little dance of I told you so when she sees Denali. I think she is me part 2 and as my mom said "you"ll get your just rewards when you have kids!" The only difference is that I was never the fashion diva or modeling queen. We butt heads alot but I am convinced it is because we are so similar.
She is truly a joy and keeps us hopping!

Here is a picture with her friend Lexie before we left UT. We had packed up most of the house but Sakoya's Trek clothes were still out. They put them on and had a fashion show! It was way fun! These two were a kick! Crazy thing about Lexi is that her dad grew up in Basin which is about 35 minutes from here. We are hoping to have her come visit when they make it up this way! Here is Denali's individual from the barley field pictures! Of course she is striking a pose, but looks great!

First day of school, long hard thought went into this outfit and mom had to spend the morning curling her hair! We had to look fashion model good on the first day!

This picture is from crazy hair day at school! I wish you could see the sparkle (that she made her dad buy) and how high I got it to stand off her head. She ended up being sent to the principals office because her teacher wanted her to show off how cool it looked!

She is a great kid and we love her even if sometimes she drives us crazy! She is loving 3rd grade and school and has made a really good friend named Ashley. Ashley lives just across the street and keeps Denali in line. Denali has invited and we have taken Ashley to church a couple times as well as primary activities and ward dinners!

Derringer

Derringer is such a boy and way different from the girls, I am definitely learning how to raise a boy with him. When we went to get pictures in the grain field we had a to work a smile out of him! In this one he is laughing but I like it. He has lost 5 teeth since we moved to Wyoming, corn on the cob is definitely out this summer for him.
After the pictures we went to an ice cream shop here in town! Let's just say he enjoyed his chocolate ice cream and it was a good thing we did pictures first.

This is definitely not the best picture but if you could see it you could tell that he had an allergic reaction to mosquitoes again! We went swimming at Boysen Reservoir and I didn't realize he was getting that many bites! Needless to say both eyes were pretty much swollen shut and he was miserable! He wouldn't go anywhere because he thought he would scare people. Maybe one of these days I will learn to spray him better. He doesn't have a problem with them except on his face.

He is really liking first grade but sometimes complains that it is boring. Is this because he is a boy or what, I don't really know. Hope that the next 11 years of school aren't all boring!

Wynter

Here are a couple pictures of Wynter! I love this first one cause last time we took pictures in the field she screamed because it was itchy! This time she wanted to play with it!

Here is one where your can see her face and cute smile! She is such a cute little thing! We love to have her around! She has decided that the 16 year old boy that is next door is her new boyfriend! He had to walk her to primary a couple of weeks ago! I got a great picture her holding his hand today at the volleyball game. I will have to post it when I get it loaded on the computer!

Here is an older picture of Wynter and Wyatt. She loves him, sometimes a little too much! She takes good care of him now that the big kids are in school.

Wyatt!

Just a couple pictures of Wyatt, he is such a good little dude. Denali did a photo session with him one day, thought this one was cute! He is very mobile these days and when he forgets he isn't holding onto something he will take off walking 3-4 steps. I keep saying he will be walking soon but he will definately do it when he is ready, I am in no hurry!

Due to all the craziness when Wyatt was blessed and my hospital stay, I never got formal blessing pictures taken. The girls dressed him up in his blessing outfit and did a photo session. They got a bunch of good ones, here is an example of one.

Family Snapshot

Here is a picture we took one Sunday after Church. It didn't turn out great but at least we were all together!

Sorry!

Yes, it has been forever, added some kid pictures today and plan to add more updates soon about life here in Wyoming! Forgive me, I have been a terrible blogger. Could be that I rarely get time to work on the computer without crying kids! Love ya all!
