Pictures of Tayton

Here is a picture of Tayton helping dad install childproof latches on our cabinets. He loves to do whatever Dad is doing, and he especially loves tools! He is holding a screwdriver and he knew just what to do with it. And yes I really do feed my child if you are wondering. He just burns it off as fast as he takes it in. This it bad boy Tayton. He loves to get into Levis old police academy uniforms. He said he really wants to be a cop so he can drive a bad boy truck! Just like I said he wants to be just like dad.

Police Academy

Here is some pictures of what Levi has been doing this past year. Here is a picture of him in his uniform. Whenever Tayton sees him in his uniform he calls him Bad Boy Daddy. (We like to watch Cops a lot.)This is Levi getting a special award during his graduation ceremony. Levi got this award for saving a mans life. We were driving home one night and Levi turned around because he saw a fire on the other side of the road. He thought it was a brush fire and was just going to call the fire dept. It ended up that a drunk driver had rolled his car and it had caught on fire. Levi and another man pulled this guy out of his burning vehicle and about 5 seconds after they pulled him out the entire car was on fire. I am so proud of Levi. The Governor of Nevada heard about this story and wanted to recognize Levi. He signed the award and they gave it to Levi at his graduation ceremony. Way to go super hero Levi!



Here is Levi getting pepper sprayed, doesn't it look like so much fun!

The Winwards


Hello,
I am a first time blogger and lets be honest I don't really know what I am doing. We decided we would try it so that way we can keep in touch with our friends and family. Tayton is 2 1/2 and still full of energy. He loves pirates, trains, and anything that has to deal with sports. For those of you who don't know we moved to Henderson, NV last January. It has been quite an adventure living in the Las Vegas Valley, it never gets boring here.
Levi got a job as a game warden! He loves it. Every time I tell someone Levi is a game warden in Las Vegas they always ask which casino he works at. I think it is funny. But for those of you who don't know what a game warden does, they enforce the boating and wildlife laws. Levi had to go through the police academy. The police academy was 20 weeks long and is just like boot camp. He loved getting yelled at for 20 weeks, and he said that being pepper sprayed was a lot worse than being tazered. (I don't ever want to find that out myself so I will take his word on it.) So now he is Officer Winward! He is glad that field training is almost over, he has been in training for almost a year. So now we get to move again! I am not to excited about moving. We are moving to Laughlin, NV. It is 90 miles south of Las Vegas and right on the border of California and Arizona. It gets even hotter down there than Vegas. I didn't know anywhere could be hotter than here. So if anyone is planning to visit make sure you come in the winter when it is enjoyable. We hope to be in Laughlin for about a year and then we would love to move up to Northern Nevada. We miss the snow.
We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and we miss you all. Keep in touch!
