Guymon Family

It's been a while!! Updates....

2010-01-16T23:57:00.000-08:00

Ok, so, it's been a long time since I've blogged...I do everything on facebook now. Check us out there and I will try to remember to update this too every now and then!

Here is a re-cap of the last few months...

Krailyn - 1st grade, picture day, she is growing up so fast...

she will be 8 this year and be getting baptized...I can't believe that!

Baby Traysen's blessing day, Hylebos Ward, September 2009

Trendon, Traysen & Krailyn, Sunday morning before church on Christmas

My SUPER HAPPY BABY!! He is the BEST!

Our family Christmas picture with the "real santa" as Krailyn calls him at Craig's Russell Investments Christmas party...always fun and we look forward to it every year! So, sad, that next year at this time, they may be in Seattle. :(

Krailyn's 1st day of 1st grade

Krailyn in her classroom at Green Gables

Krailyn again posing for her first day of first grade! I can't believe that I have a first grader!
That seems so odd to say!

Waiting for the bus

Check out the new backpack, she loves Osh Kosh!

Posing again, she loves school and was so giddy the night before and could not go to sleep! I remember being like that too when I was kid! She is such a little social butterfly and couldn't hardly wait to see ALL of her friends at school again.

Baby Traysen Blaine

2009-07-12T19:40:00.001-07:00

Baby Traysen Blaine Guymon joined our family on 7-7 at 12:39 pm. I was supposed to be induced at 7 am that morning but my water broke at 2:30 am the night prior. It was a very easy labor & delivery (never thought that I would here myself say that) and the baby is doing very well. Krailyn & Trendon are completely loving their new little brother. We are glad that Baby Traysen joined in our little double digit birthday family. (Traysen is 7/7, Trendon is 9/9 & Krailyn is 10/10...how many families have that? lol!)

Family Updates

2009-06-30T15:48:00.000-07:00

In preperation for the new baby, the baby swing is out....I was upstairs and I kept hearing the music to the swing playing...When I went downstairs, I found Trendon, my almost 3 year old, swinging away in the swing. (I can't believe he didn't break it!) He said, "Mama, me a baby!" Well, for 7 more days, he is my baby...till he becomes a middle child, that is...

Best friends, neighbors and newly declared sisters in matching dresses...We are allowing them to be (pretend) sisters since they both come from families with 2 brothers...

At least they have each other!

a child with no teeth!

Primary Temple Trip

Our primary went to the Seattle Temple on Saturday. Our kids were very excited to get to see the temple and are excited to get to go inside someday!

Spring Break Trip

2009-04-13T16:25:00.001-07:00

We went to Idaho over Spring break to visit my mom, brother & family...Here are some captured moments with the cousins...

Tall, tall, tall bowl of cereal

2009-03-24T16:23:00.000-07:00

Today was SUPER SILLY day at preschool. Well, Trendon took that literally, I guess. During craft time, he decided that he was hungry and made his way to the pantry to get some cereal. His new thing is that everything is TAll, TAll, TAll! I heard him in there eating and I just thought that everything was all right....however, after entering the kitchen, I realized that he had poured almost the entire bag of froot loops into his bowl and then all over the table. I was about to be very mad and then I just started laughing! He was so proud of his Tall, Tall, Tall bowl~I had flashbacks to those LDS commercials of the kids playing in the mud expecting the parents to be very mad that they had gotten so dirty but instead the parents ran and grabbed the camera to take some pictures. These are the moments in life that you have to cherish forever as a mom!

He is SO proud of his Tall, Tall, Tall bowl!!!

Craig & Krailyn attended the annual daddy / daughter dance in Federal Way this last Saturday. They had a blast! Krailyn loves to get all dressed up and go out with dad! They went to Outback for dinner, too. Craig said that she was an expensive date. She ordered a steak meal and ate the whole thing!

Krailyn's Face again!!

2008-12-19T19:22:00.001-08:00

Well, wouldn't you know it, just when her face is healed from the fall at school, she does it again! She ran into a tree today while sledding on the hill in front of our house. We thought that her nose was broken but it just has a little fracture. It will be very painful for quite some time. The Dr. says that she should have 2 nice black eyes by Christmas. Merry Christmas to Krailyn. We are thankful that the nose took the brunt of it all and not the head!

Krailyn's Big Fall

2008-11-14T09:43:00.001-08:00

Well, the one thing that I have learned to dread in life now.....The phone call from the school....It goes something like this, Ring, ring, Mrs. Guymon, this is the school nurse and we have your daughter here in the office......I just cringe at the sound of this!!!! If you have a child in school, I am sure that you can relate! Anyways, she was at recess yesterday and tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face. It was about 3:00 when I got the phone call and she was due to get on the bus in 10 minutes. So, they just sent her home on the bus. She came running off with it all covered and she saw me and started crying like crazy. The nurse said that she had not been crying at all at school. - She is tough on the outside, just like I was when I was a kid. She didn't want to go to school today because she thought that the kids would give her a hard time about it. I made her go....mean mom am I! She will be fine but how dramatic for a Kindergartener!

Funny Trendon Video

2008-11-11T20:57:00.000-08:00

So, Trendon was a dinosaur for Halloween this year. He loved the costume and he is always carrying it around the house saying the name dinosaur....Only we discovered that how he is saying it, doesn't actually sound like dinosaur....it really sounds like (pardon my French) A**hole! So, it was too cute to not record and put out there for everyone else to get a good laugh from it!!!! Enjoy!

Halloween Fun!

2008-10-30T22:39:00.000-07:00

Preschool Halloween party - Krailyn was out of school on this day so she was so excited to be part of it!

I had a Doodle-bop, butterfly, Tinker Bell, fairy, Superman, Tigger, Buzz Lightyear and a rockstar. What a SUPER fun day that we had!

Trendon was 2 things for Halloween this year....Tigger and.....

Dinosaur!

Krailyn's Kindergarten Picture Day

2008-10-28T16:38:00.001-07:00

Payton, Kylie (Kids that I watch) & Krailyn on Kindergarten picture day.

My little princess....I can't believe that she is SO grown up. She loves to wear her hair all curly like this. I have to braid it 2 days in advance to get it that curly. She chose to wear her dance shirt on picture day and I think that says it all about her personality right now!

Obsessive compulsive 2 year old

2008-10-07T22:39:00.000-07:00

Does anyone else have a 2 year old that has an obsessive, compulsive behavior to line cars up in a row? They all have to be bumper to bumper. If I kick one out of the line, he will run from across the room and fix it. The first thing that he does every morning when he wakes up is rush downstairs to his cars and get them all lined up. How strange is this?

He's a boy and he loves his cars!

Yep, I'm a soccer mom!

2008-09-20T17:00:00.000-07:00

Krailyn's soccer team & Coach Newcombe.

They have the best team and the best coach ever!

Great kick Krailyn!

Get the ball Krailyn!

This is where little brother is usually hanging out during the games! He was soaken wet at this game!

Don't worry Trendon, your day will come too when you can play soccer....I mean football!

Violence in church nursery!

2008-09-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

So, we dropped Trendon off for the usual 2 hours of nursery each Sunday. I was out in the hall in between doing my singing time with Jr. & Sr. Primary. I heard Trendon just screaming as someone was bringing him to find a parent. They brought him to me with this nice wound on his face. Apparently, another little boy was swinging something by a rope and it flew across the room and almost got his eye! He is very lucky that it didn't land a little higher up! His birthday is tomorrow and he is all black and blue as it looks even worse today! (Picture was taken yesterday) Stop the madness in the overly crowded 2 year old room!! We have great nursery leaders but way TOO many kids!!

Krailyn's First Day of School

Bye, bye Krailyn, have a good first day of Kindergarten!

Little buddies! Tate & Trendon, you would never know that there is an almost 6 year age difference between the two of them!

Twins? Sisters? Friends? No, just cousins. Krailyn age 5 & Hannah age 5.

We had a little family reunion while in Idaho. This is the family shot of my family. My mom & Terry are featured in the middle. Trent (my brother) is on the right and Tate & Hannah are his kids...

Ok, call me wierd but I some how find inspiration in cemetarys....Last year as I was visiting family graves in Pocatello, Idaho, my mom showed me this one. It is my great, great grandparents headstone. I absolutely loved the name! If we have another girl, she will be named after them, McKinnon! No, I am not making any announcements either!
