His Mother.

Tyson is my number one best friend.

And this kid is next in line:

I am so happy spending my days with him.

Through the hustle and bustle of life and when days seem long, I try to make an earnest effort to spend time playing with Mr. B and enjoying him exactly how he is in that moment.

He is changing so quickly, so I try my best to document through many, many photos. But sometimes, I just want to bottle up a moment and put it on a shelf to revisit when he gets to be a big boy.

Watching him learn and grow and experience life is blissful.

 Seeing those little eyes light up at something as simple as falling snow makes life even sweeter.

I can tell it's only going to get better from here on out.

Thanks to Auntie Jess for capturing this sweet photo and for letting me steal it.  I love it!

Squaw.

Looking at these pictures is making me realize how fast my baby is growing up. SO bitter sweet.

We decided to go up to Squaw Peak one evening when Fall was at it's "peak" (haha!) a.k.a. towards the end of September.

I am so glad we did. Provo Canyon was beautiful! These pictures don't do it justice.

One day these boys are going to look back and be so pleased with all the photos I took of them throughout our journey of life together.:)

I can't quite let go of fall just yet-- especially with this beautiful weather we've been having.

It's been my favorite fall yet with Mr. B in our lives and school not in them.

Oh how I love being a family a three. 

 

 My sweet baby bear.

Bennett. 2 Months.

Although B is now three months old + a week, I couldn't pass up posting these pictures taken when he was about two months old.

I think I will make a tradition to take photos like this every couple months. Clean, simple, perfect.  

See newborn ones here.

I love everything about this boy.

 

 Fist pump, dude.

and one cute baby bear.

I have lots of photos to share.

So much has been going on around here!

Including:

A growing baby boy-- who has now decided to roll over (pause button, please?!).

Soaking up this gorgeous fall weather and scenery.

B's blessing day.

A few photo shoots! I am loving getting back into photography.

And my sister has been in town, so we have been doing a lot of playing.

Here is one picture to tide you over until next time...

 My sweet baby bear (notice the slight nostril flare? total Clyde thing).

 

Soccer.

This post is entitled soccer and it does not have one single soccer picture in it. Oops. :)

We have been attending a lot of my niece's & nephew's soccer games (as well as a few of the girls High School games)! It's a fun little outing for us to look forward to and we love cheering on the cousins!

Here are a few photos from one of the games (next time I will get pictures of the actual GAME)!

 Poor Claire was wiped out.

 Leah enjoying some dinner and the game!

Silly Yauren.

Provo Canyon Trail.

Today we grabbed some breakfast at Kneaders and went up Provo Canyon to the trail that leads to Bridal Veil Falls.

 It was a little brisk when we first got there-- feels like Fall!

It turned out to be a very lovely Labor Day activity, even with half of Provo being there as well. :)

B loved it and slept the whole time!

Standing.

This is Bennett's newest trick-- standing up! 

At just seven weeks old, he likes to straighten his body and stand on your lap. I can't believe how strong this boy is! I laugh every time he does this-- it's just too funny.

A few other cute pictures of the boy before bedtime.

 Really mom? Pictures before you feed me?

 If these pictures had sound, it would be the cutest little cooing sound you ever did hear.

 Still confused about letting him "starve"!

Love my hungry, happy, sweet boy.

Sleeping on dad.

Pledging to use my camera more often in our every day life!

Because I don't want to miss one little thing that my boy does.

He's growing up way too fast!

So here is my "use-my-camera-often" project.

Starting with my favorite:

These boys.

I love them so.

Bennett looks bald in a lot of pictures.
And while he doesn't have a lot of hair-- he does have some.
It's just SO blonde you can hardly see it.:)
