CrEaTe :)

Since Easton's Birthday Party was this last Saturday I was unable to watch Women's Conference, but because of the Internet which I love I was able to watch a video feed on Sunday while Easton was napping. I love to watch conference because it is a great reminder of what we should be doing. I enjoyed listening to all the talks but President Utchdorf's stood out in my mind the most. He told us women that we are of great value, which is something that has been told to us many times before, but then he told us that as women we should be creating. As I thought of this and listened to his talk as he spoke of all the different things which we could CREATE or BEATIFY it inspired me...
The last couple of days I have been thinking of different things that I could create or areas of my life or talents in which I can work on to help others. As Easton was taking his nap today I got out my material box and found some old fleece and decided to make Easton a couple scarfs for the winter. I was so excited with the finished product that I began to look for more things to create. Since Halloween is coming up I got out our Halloween Ghost that we give out every Halloween and made some oreo cookies to go with it. I am excited to hand it out. I also love to work with computers, I remember when I was working at Great Western designing playgrounds how much I loved to start something from scratch and then follow through with the finished product. (The double screens were fun to work with also). But I decided after taking pictures of Easton that it might be something that I would want to pursue in the future and it works with being a full time mom. So I am excited to look into photography classes. Thanks for the great message President Utchdorf. To view this message go to http://www.lds.org/ and then click on Women's Conference.

Easton's 1st Year Pics

Here they are Easton's 1 year old pictures. We were going to have them professionally done but I decided to try my hand at it. I think they turned out all right for our first try.

How'd You Get Up There?

The other day Travis and I were cleaning the house and getting some things done, when Travis said, "Lynz you have to come see this." So I hurried down the stairs only to find Easton had climbed on top of his toy, and then on top of the coffee table, and had is hands pressed to the TV watching Baby Einstein.
You've got to love the things kids do...

Logan Canyon Fun!

Logan Canyon is one of the prettiest canyons I have ever been in. It is also very diverse for the many things that you can do. Travis and I love to go hiking the many trails especially with Easton on our backs, because he gets so excited to be in the outdoors.

The newlyweds, Brad and Amber, joined us for a hike up Crimson Trail. It's great to have friends so close.

Easton loves his pack, but he is honestly getting a little heavy to pack, weighing in at 25lbs 11 ounces...

We had a Eborn family get together up the canyon and Miles caught the biggest fish. Way to go Miles!

Easton's favorite food I think would be corn. He can down two big cob's in one sitting. Luckily our freezer is now full of corn, thanks to Grandma Eborn, Easton can have corn year round. :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

What a fun two years!!!

Yesterday Travis and I celebrated our Big 2nd Anniversary! Wow so much has happened in those two years that we are thankful for, especially our little guy, Easton. It has been a crazy two years, but years I wouldn't trade for anything...
Travis is a great husband, father, and best friend, who is always so patient with me. I am so thankful to have him in my life. Thanks Trav for a great two years!

Into the Mouth. . .

Easton is finally starting to realize when something tastes bad or isn't good. He used to put everything into his mouth. Here are a few of the things that I have found in his mouth this summer.

-Bugs (Spiders, Lady Bugs, & etc.)

-Toy Octopus (He loved to crawl around with the legs dangling out of his mouth)

-Cigarettes (Gross I know, he is too fast sometimes)

-Food (Any type)

-Dirt, Sand, Mud (He likes a variety)

-Baby Wipes

-Paper

-Sunscreen

-Floss

It's crazy what happens when you turn your head for a minute. He is growing so fast though, he hasn't started walking but he likes to stand and flap his arms. Just recently he has discovered how to blow raspberries on our stomach's which he thinks is hilarious. We sure do love our little guy!
