Winter Fun

We have been staying busy these holidays. Here is some of the fun things we have been doing.

Kyle's first swan and a banded goose all in one afternoon.

Kyle was so proud when Hayden wanted to touch and ride the swan and goose.

Yeehaw

We won a carriage ride around Salem pond at Kyle's company party.
I would recommend it. Hayden loved it.

It was past his bed time can you tell.

My friend/the boys babysitter and her kids decieded to go to Thanksgiving Point farm. I seen an ad on their horse rides and had to get Hayden on one. He loves horse, and can spot them out a mile away.

As you can see, HE LOVED IT.

Yes he had to give it a kiss.

Guess what they just seen?

After the farm we went to the Dinosaur Museum. It was warmer there.



LOOK WHO IS 2!

WOW where does time go? I told Kyle the other day. We have a 2 year old. CRAZY!! He is soooo fun. I just wish I had a quarter of his energy to keep up with him.

 Here is a little bit about him.

Favorite Food: Chicken Nuggets (what kid is different)

Favorite Color: Blue

Favorite Cartoon: Mickey Mouse (I can't wait until Kyle will take us to Disneyland so he can meet him)

Favorite Book: Seame Street Collection

Favorite Pass time: Playing with his Cousin Shelby, friend Kasey and neighbor Eric

His Hero: His Dad, I wish I could record from the time Kyle gets home until bed time. These two wear each other out. They play hid and seek, Kyle is a slide, catch with the ball, they go fishing, they can play for hours in the tub, the list goes on. Hayden LOVES LOVES LOVES his dad.

He is an outside boy. I hope Kyle enjoyed this year duck hunting. I have a feeling next year he will be caring a little boy around with him. He has already taken over my duck and goose calls. He can blow them, it's pretty funny.

He loves riding around in dad's new truck because he can see out the window at the chirstmas lights. He tells you everytime he sees cows, horses, sheep, birds and so on. I told Kyle the truck was the best investment we ever made, he is so good in when we go anywhere.

He is our parrot! He will repeat everything we say. Kyle broke the kitchen light, now everytime we go into the kitchen he says "daddy broke the light" I just laugh. We were in Cabelas and we told him not to touch more than once. He turned to his dad put his hands on his knee and squated and said "DAD don't touch" I again laughed and walked away. He is defanitly a 2 year old.

It is so fun seeing him grow into the roll of being a big brother. He likes feeding him, shares his cookie monster, blankets, juice, and toys with McCoy. It makes me teary eyed watching him. 

Well here is a few pictures of our HANDSOME Hayden.

Yes that is binoculars in his hands. He is always taking ours
so Kyle gave him his small pair.

His friend Kasey

This was a while ago but had to share. My mom couldn't
find them nor hear them. While she soon found out why.
They empted a bran new box of tissues.

Awe cute reading together.

We have one smart 2 year old. Kyle showed him once.

First time in the snow.

What we've been up to...

So you would think because we have a new born at our house our lives would've slowed down? Think again! We have been super busy with the holidays and all. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that you have a great Christmas. This year we will be spending it with Kyle's parents down in Bicknell. There isn't a whole lot to say but lots of pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

The week after McCoy was born, the 3 of us headed to Grandma & Grandpa Bones house for a week.

We had lots of fun helping Grandpa plant fish in Fish Lake, played in the snow for the first time and even threw a snow ball at grandpa. And Hayden's favorite thing, helped grandma do the dishes.

Went to Salem Pond with our friends to feed the ducks.

I finally shot my first Swan... A little back up shot from Kyle helped. They sure are big

birds and very pretty. We went with our friend Justin and his kids. Lots of fun.

We are so ready for Christmas. Every morning Hayden has to turn on the Christmas

tree lights. We have quit the set up out front of the house, those pictures will come later.

As you can see in the bottom picture, McCoy LOVES watching the Christmas

tree lights. Its so precious.

This year we had a Williams Christmas party at my cousin Ashley and Glens house in 

Richfield. Santa stopped by for a visit. It was so much fun seeing the kids faces.

 Austin & Shelby

 Hayden didn't even cry. He would have his moments but quit enjoyed Santa.

 McCoy looked so comfy. Santa made him nice and warm.

Everyone meet McCoy J.D. Bone

The Second Greatest Gift.

McCoy J.D. Bone was born November 1, 2012 at 6:05 in the Orem Community hospital. He weighted 9lb 8oz and was 21in long. 

As I stated in one of my last post, finding out this bundle of joy was going to join our family started in March 2012. We were contacted by his birthmom who had asked us and had felt like the child she was caring was meant to be ours. I often asked myself why us? How did we get so lucky? What have we done to deserve this? Still asking myself these question I have not yet found my answers. But we did find and had the most AMAZING experience of our lives.

With not being able to have our own children, I was able to join this birthmom every step of the way with McCoy. She made sure I was included in on EVERYTHING. I went to every doctors appointment, I knew almost ever contractions she was having, whenever someone asked what she was having she would say "ask the mom", and I was able to help/support her though all the pain with delivering. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We became so close. We grew a love for each other that NO ONE else could have or understand. No words could explain what she was giving us. I was becoming a mom again, Hayden was becoming a BIG brother, and Kyle was getting to be a dad again.

Through the whole pregnancy she had told us she didn't want to see him after he was born. She didn't want to bond with him and make it harder. We said whatever you want. The night McCoy was born Kyle and I went home to sleep, she had asked if she could take one of his night feedings to say her goodbyes. We said sure, again whatever she wanted and needed. The next morning I called to check on her and let her know we were on our way. She said she was just hanging out with McCoy. Kyle and I were shocked. We were asked if we freaked out, wondering if she had changed her mind? We said not one bit. It will work out the way it is meant to. Once we arrived at the hospital she asked us to stay in the room with her, she was lonely and it felt right. And she was right on that one. We have been together on this from day one, we were family now. No words can explain the love that was in that room. The love she had for McCoy, the love we had for him and everyone that came to visit. I wanted her to see the love that McCoy was going to be receiving. And the love that our family

had for her.

Well as that last day went on, we knew the signing time was coming up, the toughest part of all. After signing and before we took her home she said her good byes to McCoy. The things she said to him were heartbreaking and heartwarming. The LOVE she has for him is speechless. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. You could feel our lord and saviors love in that room. There was no denying that what was happening was right, and they had both of their hands in on the blessing.

That night when I crawled into bed I broke down and cried. I cried for 45 minutes. All I could think about was this birthmom and what she had done for us. The strenth she has, the love she has, the drive she has. I felt like I was loosing my sister. I am going to miss the crap out of her. I love this girl more the anything. She always made me laugh, her come backs were the best. Even right in the middle of pushing almost a 10 lb baby out she was cracking jokes and laughing. 

Girl I know you are reading this and I hope you know just what you have given us. I hope and pray you know just how much we/I love you. Thank you for letting me be a part of this. Thank you for letting me feel McCoy whenever I wanted, even though he didn't move when I did. I am going to miss you.

I want to make you a promise. I will try to love him just as much as you do. I promise to take care of him. I promise to raise him to be a bright, kind, loving, friend,  and husband. I promise you I will protect him to my best abilities. I promise to be a great role model for him. I promise to take him places, show him what he can do with his life, make him a believer in himself. I hope and pray I don't let you down. Thank You Thank You Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. We will be forever in dept to you. We love you so much.

Enjoy the pictures.
