Hogsmeade at Universal Studios Orlando

Posted by Tamie on Monday, October 8, 2012

The Heaton's took us to Florida in May.  Hogsmeade at Universal Orlando was a dream come true for our family.  Ryan, Tyran and I were like giddy kids.  Now we're reading the books with the younger three boys too! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Heaton!

The Pensive

A view of Hogwarts from Hogsmeade

Another view of Hogwarts.  They've built it in a way to make it appear larger than it really is.

Tanner was chosen to be fitted for a wand at Olivanders.  I got choked up when the music, wind and lights hit him.  He was pretty sure that wand would work afterwards if he only practiced all day long. So magical!

Practicing spells . . . expelliarmus!

Frozen Butter Beer at the Leaky Cauldron. Delicious BUT we should have had it AFTER the rides.  I got to spend time with Moaning Mertyle in the bathroom trying to keep it down!

I would feel giddy going to Hogsmeade too! How much fun for your family.

Tyran in New York

Grandma and Grandmpa Heaton took Tyran to New York in August.  He loved seeing Wicked, The Lion King and visiting all the famous sights.  When we asked if anything surprised him he said "it was kind of dirty" and he mentioned there were some kind of crazy people.

Hey Tamie - we need to get together soon! I can't believe how time flies. Actually, I'm surprised I think time flies considering it still feels like winter around here...and eternal winter. :)
What is your schedule like? Can't wait to catch up and meet the boys!

2010

Posted by Ryan on Monday, January 17, 2011

Okay, so we don't blog. At least, not very frequently. Sorry about that.

But in case you're interested in what our life was like for 2010, here's a 4-minute video showcasing the highlights. It's set to a song that has... let's say "sentimental value" for us. (Hyrum says it's his "favorite" and Ty danced to it this year in his ballroom dance show.)



And in case you'd like to see some more photos, you're welcome to check out our online album.

Ten Whole Years

Posted by Ryan on Thursday, December 17, 2009

Without doubt, the best decade in my life has been these last ten years.

It was ten years ago today that Tamie and I were married. It's been an incredible adventure--I suppose I could accurately describe it as a rush. I'm so thrilled I have someone like Tamie to share it with.

We stayed in a hotel room for a couple of nights and had the chance to attend the temple together and to go to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert. Having that time together and the chance to consider what a beautiful life we've created, I was overwhelmed with joy. This precious seal that binds us is beyond appraisal.

Happy Anniversary, Tamie. I love you.

I love the way Ryan describes it: a rush. You guys are an awesome couple. If I could choose...I would live right next store to you.

Congrats on the 10 years! That is so wonderful. Time does fly by doesn't it! I remember you two first dating in highschool, a perfect couple then as you are now. Your boys are just adorable...and handsome! You sure have your hands full...but that's what people say to us too! Good luck you two, take care!

We love you guys. I know it is WAY late, but happy anniversary.

Summer fun

Posted by Tamie on Sunday, November 1, 2009

Ryan played on an intramural frisbee team. We had fun watching him. Ty is getting pretty good at throwing the frisbee too.

Ryan rigged up this waterslide for the kids. We spent many hours in our pool.

Uncle Chris gave Granma and Granpa tickets for a demolition derby that they took the older boys to. Pretty cool.
