We Can't Wait!!!

We love Halloween! I think it's our most favorite holiday. Probably because it's the start of the best holidays, and of course everyone's birthdays! Are you all excited for it too?

This is not their costumes. Just fun October clothes :)

We Can't Hear You:)

Sometimes I feel like they are just not listening!!!! It's a really good thing they're cute:)

Thank You

Thank you seems like such an inadequate word when trying to say what is in our hearts, but it is a start. To the many people who were involved with the Hoyt Family Benifit Day, we wish to express our deep felt gratitude.

To all who planned the event, those who participated, the many who donated items and those who purchased, we send a grateful thank you.

Family, friends and community, please know that as we begin our journey, you have shown us we are not alone, but supported every step by your love and compassion. It is felt deeply and is so greatly appreciated. Our humble thanks and love we give to each of you.

Jan and Lorie Hoyt Family

Hoyt's Heavenly Hideout

We went to the ranch this last Saturday, but we didn't camp. Mom was afraid it would have been to much for dad. So we went up and had a cook out. I forgot how pretty and peaceful it is up there. I always come home with tons of pictures so BEWARE of lots of pictures!!!!

The view is spectacular. We can see everywhere!

This was the first time the girls had ever been to the ranch. They loved it:)

This little stinker would not smile for me. She was too busy.

And Zac was tired of the camera before everyone else even got there.

But Zoe has never been afraid of the camera. Can you say CUTE:)

I told Morgan the higher he put the rope the farther down he was gonna fall.

Moment of truth.......

Dang it! I really wanted him to fall on his butt:)

Grandma and her bird watchers!

Keira finally gave me the cutest smile's while she was in the hammock.










This is my Dad's place. It always has been. It's sad to know he didn't get to do many of the things he wanted to up there. Hopefully we can do them. His dream is still alive!

Zachary was not so much help!

Our mighty dutch oven cookers. Can you say Bull Shit session:)














Morgan can not turn down a homemade pickle. We had the jar gone before dinner. Next time I'll take three jars.

Zachary loves to just sit and look through the binoculars. There is so much to see up there. And now I think I have an idea for a Christmas present;)

Jordan and Zac were hilarious to watch. They were bird hunting. Partners in Crime!

Jared H. just had to have fire. We were worried he would start the place on fire.












Relaxing with Dalton in the hammock.

Work it Baby! Jared looks so cute with that pink b.b gun!











The girls didn't get a nap that afternoon. So of course they fell asleep on the way home. I couldn't believe they fell asleep coming down off the hill, it's really bumpy. I had to hold there heads together so they wouldn't bonk them. They were exhausted, but I figure that's a sign of a good time.

We decided not to let so much time go by before we go up again. Hopefully we can get my Dad back up there again. We've learned to MAKE TIME for things like this. It's so important to be with family because you never know when someones time to go is. We made even more memories. We will cherish them!

Enjoying Every Moment!

Well it happened again. I had another Birthday. Yep the big 31!!!! But I'm not as old as my Brother:) In fact he can't remember how old he is. He kept telling us he was 35 where in fact he is only 34:0 I love it. Any way. I woke up and was an emotional mess. Not because I was a year older, but because this will probably be the last Birthday party I have where my Dad is here. But It was the most perfect day ever!!!! He felt so good and everyone made it to our house for dinner. Which Jared made. It was perfect. Also on Saturday my Dad's amazing friends put together a fund raiser for my Dad. We are completely touch by the results! We truly live in an amazing place with generous people. It was such a neat thing. They did a ride that morning and then a dinner and auction that evening. I still can't believe how many people came and how many people just love my Dad. It was so serene and special. We are so very thankful for everyone's love and support. It's hard to really put it into words. Thank you doesn't seem good enough. But still thank you to everyone who came and participated and who just donated time and money. It makes this burden much lighter. I didn't get any pictures but I'm hoping we can get our hands on some somewhere.

We were sooooo excited to have Morgans girlfriend Kierra here for the entire weekend. It made it that much better. We just adore her. Poor Morgan has to share her with everyone:) They make a very cute couple!

Master Chef Jared!!! I LOVE HIM:) He cooked a turkey. I will not put my hand up a turkey's butt, I'd rather starve;) One of the many reasons I love him and married him.

We've been living every moment like it's Dad's last. Hopefully he'll prove us all wrong. But I've noticed I've enjoyed things a lot more. Simple things, like watching the kids watch t.v or just playing.

Grandma Vickie bought us the new Tinkerbell movie. We've watch it a gazillion times already and still love it. Zoe was glued to it. She moved when I got up to get the camera so I made her pose again. Still she's just cute!!



I try to go for a walk every morning. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. But I enjoy it and so do the girls. They are really good motivation. Plus I don't think I mentioned we have a new stroller, and it is absolute heaven. Life is so much better and easier with good quality products. (I also got a new vacuum) I know I'm spoiled :)

The girls are very creative in their outfits when they wake up. Keira says this is not a Santa hat but her Christmas hat!!! Whatever, I know not to argue.

Zoe is getting good use out of her snow boots. I hope she doesn't wear them out before winter!

She has a bit of a shoe fetish.

I also helped my Aunt Mannie with Kelsey's baby shower. It turned out so cute and fun. She's having a girl and she got so many cute little girlie things. We can't wait to see her cute little baby. We're so excited for her and Tyrell.



We played the most hilarious game. You melt candy bars in diapers then you have to guess the "poop" It was a big hit. Some of them are very real looking.

My dad wants to go camping at the ranch this weekend. We are really excited. We haven't done this since I was pregnant with Zachary. Hopefully he still feels good enough and the weather stays nice. I'm sure I'll have tons of pictures:)

Family Fun

This last Saturday Jared and Zachary decided to hike up to the "V". That's them off to the left of the rock. Zachary didn't want to climb up on top this time, he said it was too windy. They were gone for three hours!

The girls felt left out because they didn't get to go on the mountain. So after the kids had a nap we took everyone to white sands. I forgot how fun it is there. The kids had fun too.

The girls said it was a big fun sand box:)

Zachary was king of the mountain!

When my brother and I were little my Aunt Sherrie took a picture of us doing snow angels in the sand. The picture was always on a little table in my Mom's bedroom. I was trying to duplicate it but Keira was not very co-operative!

Jared and I were not paying attention and Keira got a little too high. It was funny watching her slide back down.

I carved the kids names into the rock! They thought that was pretty neat.

The girls were very concerned that my feet were buried. It was fun watching them trying to get me out. They were very persistent.

Then on Sunday Zachary helped Jared paint the picnic tables. It took most of the day but he helped do all of them.
