Family Pictures

I have been a huge slacker!! We had our pictures done several months ago and a have not posted any. So here is just a sampling. Ali did such a great job!

I can't put my arms down!!

Ralphy I can't get Up!! That is what comes to mind when I look at these pictures.


Okay on the Lyman side of our family watching the Christmas Story was a holiday tradition for us and it was the only thing I could think of when I took these pictures. So i thought my parents and sisters would appreciate them.

Christmas time is here again

We started Christmas early at our house this year. All of our neighbors started putting up their decorations the week before Thanksgiving, so we did the same.
Maddox really wanted to help with decorating the tree but between him trying to play king of the hill on the stool with me and instead of handing me the decorations hurling them across the room or rocketing them at the tile floor, his helping mom was short lived.

My catch up post

I realized that I haven't posted a picture of Maddox in his Halloween costume. So here he is, mama's little tiger.


I have not been very good at keeping up with blogging so today will be a post to sort of catch up on what we have been up to for the last little while.
Back in October we took a trip to Gardner Village with Andrew's brother Zach and his wife Ali and their two adorable kidlets. It was a lot of fun, Maddox thoroughly enjoyed himself. He got to feed the ducks in a pond and go to the petting zoo and ride a pony. He was in heaven. Maddox loves animals so he had the time of his life.

Four Generations of Sumsion Men

This is a four generation picture with Maddox, daddy, grandpa Sumsion, and great grandpa Sumsion.

GO PACK GO!!!

Around our house we are fanatical about two things football and the Greenbay Packers. Today is
their first game of the season and as you can see we are totally prepared for it.

Happy Anniversary to My Wonderful Husband

It is crazy that it has been two years since we met. Time flies. It hasn't always been peaches and cream for us but it has always been worth it. Here is to many more years for us together. Love you honey.

The latest goings on of the sumsions

This is our little one year old. Yes I said one year old. He turned one on the 19th and it was a bittersweet day for his momma. I cannot believe that it has been a year since this amazing little person entered our lives. He is a little ball of energy and destruction but we don't know what we did without him.




We had a birthday party at my parents house and in honor of his aunt Mamie we let him have his own cake. It was the biggest mess ever. He had cake everywhere!! I had no idea where to begin with cleaning him up but he loved every minute of it.




We have found out that Grandpa Jeff has instilled in Maddox at a young age the love of riding fourwheelers and all things motorized, so we got him a little fourwheeler for his birthday and needless to say it was a huge hit. It is not motorized so he has to Fred Flintstone his was around but he loves it.
A few months ago we got Andrew a motorcycle and Maddox loves it. He doesn't get to ride on it but he does get to sit on it with his dad. It is one of his favorite things to do outside besides eating sticks and dirt, and tormenting the poor dogs.

First Tooth

I decided that because Madds is teething again that I needed to get a picture of the one tooth that he has had for several months now. I can't help but laugh when he smiles and I see the one tooth it kills me every time. It has taken me awhile to get this picture because as soon as he sees the camera he stops doing whatever cute thing he was doing and focuses all his attention on how to get the camera out of my hands.

First Blog

Well I finally decided that I would start blogging since Jami and Serina live so far away and never get to see Maddox. So when I find the cord for my camera I will start posting some pictures of my wild little man.
