BYU vs. Wyoming

We all figured the game today would be a complete blowout and sure enough it was! Unlike the UCLA game which was a lot of fun and exciting, this game was rather boring as far as BYU games go! The cousins all once again looked so cute and had so much fun together! This game we had the addition of Lance and Kristy's kids so the clan of kids was larger and more out of control than usual! Sean loves to be able to bring a satellite and watch all the pregame talk the night before the game! It was really cloudy today so he had to spend alot of time in the truck adjusting the satellite to get all the games that they had to see today! Me and Wendy are due just two days apart and have yet to take a picture together, so I had to post this one we took today! As always she looks so cute and you would be hard pressed to find a less attractive picture of me, oh well I just wanted it for memories anyway! The tailgates have gotten so big we love to be able to turn this into a all night and all day adventure and it makes it so fun to have so many people come out and join us! Thanks to everyone who once again helped out so much with everything!

BYU vs. UCLA

These pictures are from the second tailgate party. We have been having so much fun this year tailgating. I cannot believe we are already half way through the home games, it is quite sad! The first picture is of Ty and Kayla. They both decided to sleep on the kitchen table bed which I thought would be just fine. Come to find out it was much too small for the two of them. Kayla fell off the bed first so I put some pillows down on the floor just in case she did it again. Next thing I know I wake up to find that the two of them had fallen off the bed and were both sound asleep on the pillows on the floor! Ty loves to go bush camping especially since he always has his cousins with them. They have so much fun together and always look so cute in their BYU outfits! By the way the score makes it seems as if this game would have been very boring, but it was actually one of the most exciting games I have been to in a long time!

Little Sahara

Last weekend we went to Little Sahara Sand Dunes. This is only the second time we have gone and both times were so much fun! Ty was on his 4-wheeler every chance he got, driving around as fast as he could all over the dunes, I was very impressed! He has gotten so good on it and he had so much fun. The first day we were there my dad kept talking about a surprise he had for us, and next thing we know he comes strutting out of his trailer with his motorcycle racing outfit on. He looked so cute, but at the same time we could not stop laughing. He has had this outfit for well over 20 years so the fact that he still fit into it and looked oh so cute is amazing! Sean just kept saying, "I am so jealous, I want one"! The boys (big boys) as always were having so much fun on the little machines. At first I thought we bought them for the little kids but I quickly found out that they were almost entirely for the big boys and the kids could use them if they happened to be available!

Ty's first day of preschool!

Ty has been looking forward to the first day of school for weeks now. He would wake up almost everyday and say, "is it school day yet?" About a week ago he decided that he wanted to go to the first day of school on the motorcycle with his dad, not mom. Needless to say this crushed me because it is supposed to be me he wants to take him to school! So today as he was leaving I decided to go on the motorcycle with them because I was not about to miss his grand entrance into school! He loves to learn and be around kids so I am sure he is going to love every minute of it!

Tailgating season has arrived!

Once again it is the Lamb family favorite time of year, tailgating season! We love BYU football at our house so we have been counting down the days until it started! We headed off to bush camp (Ty calls it this because he says he goes to the bathroom in the bushes and footballs always get stuck in the bushes) Friday night with the trailer to start the party! Sandi and Barry and the kids brought their trailer over too that night to keep us company! The next day we started lunch, which was Cafe Rio style burritos, which were so good! We had a huge turn out of the regulars and even some new additions like some of Stacey's friends! The guys set up the TV and satellite Friday night and watched ESPN to build their excitement for the big game and we even allowed the Utah game to be shown at our tailgate on Saturday! Thanks to everyone to helped out, I really appreciate it! This is once again an open invitation to anyone that would like to come! The more the merrier!

Dad in charge of bath time!

This picture is a great example of why Ty always has so much fun with his dad! If you leave dad in charge of bath time you get water clear to the top of the tub with bubbles literally pouring over the top. If mom is left in charge of bath time not nearly the amount of bubbles and water, boring! Too bad dad only gets put in charge of bath time occasionally!

Ty and Dad doing "Boy things"

Yesterday Ty wanted to go ride his 4-wheeler, so him and Sean set out to find the perfect riding spot. In the neighborhood we live in there are not too many places to go that seem legal, but Sean seemed to find one that works! They went to this parking lot and spent so much time there doing lap after lap after lap. Ty is getting really good at driving by himself, he goes way to fast for my liking, but Sean keeps assuring me that he is fine. I guess at some point I have to let him grown up a little and also allow him to do crazy boy things with his dad! I had to go to a baby shower today and when I came home I found the two of them in the same parking lot only this time Sean was on his motorcycle doing laps with Ty, it was so cute. It is so much fun to see how Ty is starting to love everything his dad does and wants to spend every second he can with him! The last picture is Ty pouting doing his mad face because Sean and I simply wanted to eat before going over to the parking lot to ride for the 10th time of the day! He is such a strong willed and determined little boy!

Baby Brady

This post is very late since I did not have any good pictures of him, but this is Sandi's little boy Brady! He was born on July 7, 2008 and Emmy is convinced he is the greatest thing around! He really is super cute and a great baby! Sandi was having a really rough time for awhile from the c-section but is doing a lot better now thankfully! I must admit having him around makes me so anxious to get our little one here newborns are alot of work, but so much fun! I could hold him all day!

American Fork Canyon

We went camping last weekend with my family up American Fork Canyon and had so much fun! The place we camped was awesome, it was right by the river which made me a little nervous at first but the kids did great! The second day Ty fell into the little pond that had been damed off from the river and thought it was pretty fun even though it was freezing cold! The first day it rained alot, so we spent a lot of time in the trailer but we still managed to have a great time. The water in the river and little pond was so cold, the adults could hardly stand to put their feet in let alone their whole bodies, but the kids loved it and spent a lot of time cooling off in the pond. We also found a lot of great riding trails and the kids had a great time on their 4-wheelers. As we were loading up the 4-wheelers to come home Ty jumped on his and loaded it into the trailer all by himself, he was so proud of himself!

Last day at the lake

My parents have always had a boat since the time I was five and today they sold their boat! I have so many priceless memories of days on the lake with my family! As they family has gotten older and bigger it has been really hard to get us all together to go spend time together on the lake so the boat was just not getting used. So unfortunately today was the last day on the lake with Grandpa and Grandma for us! We had a lot of fun today we went to Huntington and basically watched Ty go on the tube! I attempted to go on the tube and it was much harder to stay off my belly than I thought, so my ride lasted all of about 15 seconds! Ty took a turn with Grandpa and Grandma and then decided he needed to go by himself. He was basically weightless on the tube so he ended up falling off and was so brave to just float there in the water and wait for someone to come get him. I was very happy to finally know for sure that the life jacket really will hold him up! He was so cute when we got him in the boat, he said, "mom it is really hard to talk under the water, I was trying to say mom help me, but I could not do it under the water." I was glad to see that he got back on the tube and did it again! He is such a trooper! Thanks for a great few days mom and dad! We love you!

Adventure to the Helper Parkway

Ty and I decided to go to Price for a couple of days to visit Grandma and Grandpa. I had not been to the Helper Parkway for a long time and I figured Ty would love it, which he did! We walked along the trail, walked over the swinging bridge with the water running underneath, walked through a long tunnel and up a huge flight of stairs. Needless to say their was no need for a workout that morning. Ty has an amazing amount of energy, he never stops! He ran everywhere we went, and beat us everywhere we went. He loves to take pictures of people and wanted a picture of what he refers to as my big belly where Macy lives, isn't that a lovely picture! We had a lot of fun and all went home and took a nap to recover from our workout!

Flaming Gorge Reunion

Over the 24th we headed up to Flaming Gorge for Sean's family reunion, we had so much fun! Sean, Ty and I went up a night before his family and stayed at Steinacker Lake, this was the first time the three of us have gone camping since I can remember (except of course for our nights together in the trailer tailgating)! Ty and Sean went fishing the next morning and caught some fish which Ty thought was pretty cool. The next day his family got up there and we spent the majority of the day just having fun in the mountains. The next day we went on the Dam tour which Ty loved! Then we all went river rafting which was also great fun! The day was pretty overcast and it rained on us for awhile which was a great break from the super hot days we were used to. Ty loved the rapids (or rabbits as he called them) and kept asking when we were going to go over more! Sean caught another fish literally at the very end of the river which all the kids thought was great! We played at Flaming Gorge on a great beach and Ty, Sean, Darby and Kayla did some cliff jumping. I was surprised at how much Ty loved to cliff jump especially into the water which was not warm! The kids all had a great time together as they always do and kept each other very entertained! It is amazing the creative things kids can come up with to do, oh to be a kid again!

Camping with Grandpa and Grandma

Every summer my parents take Ty and Emmy on a camping trip that Ty calls a "kid party," which according to him means no parents allowed! They generally go to Joe's Valley but this year they went up Spanish Fork Canyon. They had a great time! My parents are so cute with the kids, and the kids just adore them! But then again who would not adore someone that did anything you asked at anytime and never said no to you! They went for many walks, looked at the river, watched the trains and had a fantastic marshmallow dinner! Thanks for taking Ty, he had a great time!

Happy 4th of July!

Our neighborhood really gets into the 4th of July! We started the holiday off on Thursday night having a huge neighborhood get together with great food, games, dancing, fireworks the whole thing! We then woke up early (early for us I should say) and went to a crepe breakfast and then to the parade. Sandi and Emmy came over to join in the festivities so we had a lot of fun! Ty loved the parade, especially the fire engines, the BYU train float, and of course the huge flying animal balloons! After that Ty was so worn out he took a nap and then we headed off to the little festival they have at the county buildings. Madi and Darby slept over and we did some fireworks and at that point we called it a day! Who knew the 4th of July could be such a action packed day!
