Georgia & Orlando trip

This last week I was able to go to Atlanta to spend the week with my family then drive down to Orlando to see my little brother Brett get married. It was wonderful. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL, the bride was STUNNING, and the weather was PERFECT!!!

Here is Brett and Sarah dancing their first dance!


I had bought a new dress for the wedding and I didn't put it on until the morning of. Well to my surprise...the SECURITY TAG WAS STILL ON!!! I was so upset. What could i do?? I didn't have time to go find a store to take it off so I had wear it THE WHOLE DAY!!!!! To the temple, the ring ceremony and the reception. I felt so dumb......

Van loved to sit on poppy. We would be so comfortable and fall asleep like this. SO CUTE!!!

Mya swimming in Orlando at our hotel. We could still swim at 9:00 at night cause it was still so warm!!! AHHHHH....heaven!

Nash's triatholon

Nash competed in his first triatholon today. He did so good. We were really nervous for him cause he's so competitive and we were worried that he would be mad if someone passed him, or if he got tired he would want to stop. But he didn't complain once, and did awesome. They set it up really good....there were 180 kids competing and they staggered the races so you wouldn't know if someone passing you was from your group or another group. The race was not timed, so that helped.

Here's Nash ( i know...it doesn't really look like him) and his good friend Cam before the race started. Swimming was first, and they swam 50 yards.


Nash is the one in the front!!! He's always been a good swimmer so this was his best event. He came in 1st of his group!


Here he is in the biking part. They had to bike .8 miles.



After biking was the last leg of the race....running!!!! He had to run 1/2 a mile. He was smiling the whole time!!!

Nash and Cam at the finish line!!!!! GOOD JOB NASH....I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!

August pics

We blessed Van on the 16th. Tyson did such a wonderful job. My dad told me afterwards that Van had woken up at the beginning of it and was smiling throughout the blessing.


I know this picture is really small...but it is really cute of the kids. Maybe if you click on it, it will enlarge???...

We also had our Leishman family reunion at the beginning of the month. We stayed at an awesome cabin in Island Park. Nash's favorite thing was to ride this dirt bike. It was just his size. I wasn't sure if he'd be able to balance it right, but he got on and just took off! Tyson was sure proud of him!!!

Family update

Okay...so i know I haven't posted any pics lately. But here's an update on our little family...

We moved into a new house! I love it.

Van turned 1 month..and his current stats: 7 lbs 12 ounces and 21 inches long.

Nash starts 1st grade next week.

Mya is starting preschool next week also!!!!

Mya and Van

Mya's favorite thing is to hold Van. She will hold him for hours....seriously. So, I have recruited her as my little babysitter. If I need to cook, or put something away...I just get Mya and she hold him for me. She never complains or gets bored. Its great! And Van is such a good baby, that he doesn't ever mind it either...even when she tries to "play" with him.

Summer fun!

Nash lost his 2 bottom teeth!! He was soooo excited, he told everyone he saw for 2 days!


the kids and tyson "camped" out in the backyard!!

we've been boating a lot lately and the kids have loved every minute of the lake. Tysons parents have this thing they made loke 20 years ago to teach their kids how to water ski, and so we pulled it out for our kids. Nash was able to get up on it by himself, but Mya needed help from Ty. So they just sand on this board and hold on to the ropes and get pulled by the boat!!!
