It's been a while...

I realized I have the hardest time staying updated on here lol.  So much has happened in the last few months I dont even know where to begin.  I was able to go down and see my brother for 3 days after he graduated boot camp.  Thanks to my amazing husband for watching the kids, I feel bad they couldnt go but it would of been a night mare taking everyone! Luckily the pics and videos I took worked out good.

Kylers team won the sportsman ship award for basketball.  They were the only team in the whole 4th grade, which was awesome!  They also won the championship, unfortunatly I was with my brother during his last game, but I know they did awesome! 

Kayden starts tee-ball in May and he is sooo excited!  Kyler will be playing baseball as well, so it will be interesting to see how this season works out lol.  Its going to be real crazy once kaylee gets into dance and things too! 

We are going to Disneyland in 2 1/2 weeks.  I am soo excited!! Its our first, real vacation with the kids.  We went to vegas for kylers birthday a few years ago, which was fun but that atomospere there sucks lol.  I am excited to see how Kaylee and Kayden react to everything, they are soo excited!  I will be sure adn post pictures when we come back. 


Here are a few random pictures:

Day 2

Today is day 2 that Kaylee has went poo in the potty.  I am so happy!!!  Its weird though she goes poo, but not pee.  O well better then nothing right, at least its the worst of the two Im not having to change.  Anyways Kyler had a good birthday.  he is having a party tomorrow on Friday so i will post pics but we surprised him and went to the jazz game.  It was so close, double over time but they couldnt pull it off.  They lost by like 4 or 5, I think.  Anyways just a short post but I will post pics later.

Happy Moment!

Yesterday was a happy moment.....

Everytime someone goes to the bathroom, Kaylee grabs herself and runs in after them saying "pee".  I think she is too little to control her bladder still, but I let her sit down and try anyway.  Sometimes I dont even take her clothes or diaper off because she does it so frequent its almost annoying lol.  Anyway, yesterday Kayden was in the bathroom and she does the usual, grabs herself and runs in after him saying "pee".  I dont like them in the bathroom together so I had kayden hurry and finish and then let her sit down.  Her diaper was wet and needed to be changed anyway so while she was on her potty I ran to get her another diaper.  I come back in and she says "poo poo" . I look and sure enough she has gone poo and pee.  I was so happy giving her lots of praise and kisses.  I dont want to get my hopes up because my boys were at least 2 before they were but we will see.  At least she is headed in the right direction. 


Another funny moment....
We were lookin at the kids scrapbooks and I gave kayden his book to look at.  He sees a picture of a baby (it was him, but he didnt know) and he was barley born, so he still had his umbilical cord clamp on.  He looks at it like he has so much compassion for the poor thing and says "What the, how can that happen to that baby?"  lol he is so funny!

Christmas 2011

Christmas was so fun.  Kaylee is at the fun stage of opeining presents and can do it all by herself.  I have a video of her opening one present and its a baby, when she opens it she gets a smile and says "baby".  Its so cute, I cant believe how fast she is growing up it feels like I just had her sometimes.  Here a few pics..

This was a pic of kayden after we went sledding lol



its hard to see, but Kyler and lisa were in the nativty play ( lisa's mary in pink and kyle'rs joesph in the brown)



on santas lap


I swear I took pics of them indivually with their presents on xmas morning, but I cant find one of Kayden so i decided to just post the pic of them on sants lap lol ..sorry

A very long time.....

Yes its been a while since I have blogged.  I have had bronchitus for almost a month now.  I finally got rid of the cough after 2 different antibiotics but still have a stuffy/runny nose, so it has not been very fun.  Luckily no one else has been sick.  Thats really a bad excuse for me not blogging since its been more then a month lol but here are some things that have happened since my last post.

September:

Tyson and I went on a cruise for our 5 year anniversary. Thanks so much to Camille for coming down to help and to grandma and grandpa for babysitting.  (too many pics to post lol)


Kylers school had an assembly for veterns day and they had to write a poem on 'Why They Love America'

Only 4 kids from the whole school got to read their poems in front of everyone at the assembly and Kyler was one of them.  He did such a good job.  They had this truck and trailor out front of the school, it was kinda cool.

Kylers Poem: 

I love America becasue you can be free to do what you want.  it wouldnt be fun to have people telling you what you have to do or say.  If people are telling you what to do or say their practically doing your life and that would not be fun.  in America you can explore!  You should be lucky to sleep a warm house at night, because in other countries they dont have warm houses to sleep in.  America is a place where we can go to school like Roy Elementary.  You are lucky to live in America, a place where freedom is and I hope you know that America is special!!

October:

Corn Maze

Frightmares

Halloween

November:

Kayden and mommy both had their birthdays. My family did a surprise party for me at my sister house, it was fun.  Sorry I dont have very many pics lol

Kaydens cake

4 years old

December:

My mom wanted family pics with everyone and we decided since we havent had any since Kaylee was born it would be good to get some taken.  Didnt turn out that bad after all...

I wasnt too happy with Kaylees finger in her mouth, but I think it adds to her girly self.

I blinked on the pic where Tyson smiled with teeth lol


Maceys was having a gingerbread house contest.  It had to be made from real gingerbread.  Sounded fun, so the kids and I looked up a recipe and started right away.  We didnt end up winning but we got free icecream, and it was fun anyway.

The front

The back


Kylers class at school is making hats for the homeless people.  I thought it would be fun to help out, plus it gives me something to do in my spare time, so Kyler taught me and we have made a bunch.  I decided to keep a few for myself.  I am making the boys and grandpa lulu all camo ones for christmas, pics once they are all done.

Fun at grandmas

Fish Farm

Update!

Well kaylee is now walking, on her feet lol.  She doesnt walk on her knees anymore.  She gets around so fast and gets into EVERYTHING!! I now remember why I dont want anymore kids lol.  I love my kids and love the time I have with them but I am so looking forward to them being older.  I know one day I will miss it but thats where Im at now.  Anyways we went camping for 2 days for fathers day so I have pics to come.  I hate holidays especially when they involve getting Tyson something only because 1. He is so hard to buy for  2.  He usually takes everything back  3.  He hates cards, unless he is buying them for me lol.  So for fathers day this year we went camping of course and I made a candy gram for him. Also, Kyler made the all star team, we are so proud of him.  He is very excited, and his regular team came in 1st place for the playoffs, they only lost 1 game.  I cant believe next year I will have 2 boys in sports, then a year or 2 later a little girl in dance, gosh we are going to be even busier parents!!

Camping

We went camping memorial weekend with my family.  It was so much fun, but who knew it would snow. 

Preschool Graduation

I cant believe school is out already.  Kayden learned so much while he was in preschool, I was hesitant putting him in this year because he was barley turning 3 but Im so gald I did.  he now knows how to type his name, he recognizes letters and so much more.  He knows so many cute songs too!

Math Olympia

Kyler was one of 3 kids from the whole 3rd grade who got to go to the math olympia.  They were a team on they took first place in Krypto for there school.  Very cool!  They were the only ones from there school who took first, some grades didnt even place at all.  Smart kids!!

1 year old

Its hard to look back at pics from when she was a newborn and then look at her now...a year later.  She has grown up so much and gotten cuter each and every day.  Happy Birthday Princess, Love you!

Mothers Day!

I hope all you moms had a great mothers day!  I sure did.  I love being a mommy, especially when my kids make me the cutest gifts.  We went to the dollar store a week ago and Kyler wanted to bring his own money and buy a 'treat' I said no your not using your money, save it and ill buy you one thing.  He said mom please! I said fine whatever.  Well on mothers day I found out that he used that money to buy me gifts.  He is so sweet, I remember having my mom buying a gift for my dad and saying it was from us kids.  I thought it was so sweet and thoughtful that he decided to on his own.  He bought me a cute yellow bag that everything was put in and then he bougth me a pack of gum, some hot tamales, licorice, and a card.  The card was so cute, he has a sense of humor, I thought Tyson helped him pick it out but he did it all on his own.

Kayden made this cute card at preschool

Kyler made these at school & church

Kyler bought this card, its so cute. On the front it says:  Mom I just want you to know that all the motherly advice you thought I ignored over the years was not wasted...

inside says:  In fact, I plan to drive my own kids crazy with it every chance I get!!  Happy Mothers day (...and thanks!)  Than signed from Kyler and Kayden

teeth...really??

Yes Kaylee got her first tooth in.  It broke thru but its not quite in all the way.  I took a pic, the best one I could get lol.   She now has her 2nd tooth brakin thru, I dont think it has come in enough to see it quite yet but its right there.  I am relieved to know she has teeth and am glad to get the teething stage over as soon as possible but I will sure miss her tootheless smile!  It kinda sux too because I almost had her weaned from nursing and now she wants to nurse more, especially at night.  O well, so she may have 2 teeth in by her frist birthday!

Easter!

Easter was a lot of fun this year.  It was Kaylee's first time going easter egg hunting and she loved it.  At the park we went to they had an age group for 0-11 omnths so she was one of the oldest but the parents had all thie kids get they eggs themselves which I thought was cute.  They definatley got enough candy to hopefully last all year lol

Pinewood Derby

For scouts they had the pinewood derby car race yesterday.  Kylers car came in 2nd place of all the bears. We made some extra cars to let Kayden use.  I made one that was a police car and another one that was a school bus.  The main scout leader in charge is a police officer and after he gave all the awards out to the kids he called me up and said I won the award for best car ever.  lol he gave me a certificate too, it was funny, kinda embarassing though lol  (ill add car pics later)

Afternoon Jog

I was running around the track at Kylers school the other day and was pushing Kaylee in the stroller.  I thought she was sleeping and then I hear her jabber so I peek in the stroller and she looked like this......

She had slid under the tray and was sitting in the basket lol it was so funny.  Guess I need to buckle her in



Sitting on the laundry...I can totally see kayden in this pic



Playing cars, she likes to sit in the bucket and play with them lol
