Happy 3rd Birthday Kylie!

The Past 3 Years

Kylie Sue

I have decided to post a little about Kylie since this month she is turning 3, and it is so hard lately, because it is breaking my heart that she is not a baby anymore! Kylie was born November the 16th, 2004. She put me through 54 hours of horrible labor, 2 epidurals (since they messed up on the first), and allergic reaction to amoxicillin. All that I would go through a thousand times over just to have my beautiful little girl! Ever since I could remember I knew I wanted a GIRL! (I think every girl does) I can honestly say I think I prayed that I could at least just have one girl, that's all I needed if I could just have one! I don't remember life before Kylie, she has brought so much joy, love, and laughter into my life. She has so much personality it kills me, I think she makes me laugh or at least shocks me everyday! I consider myself the luckiest Mom to have such wonderful children, and will continue to thank my Heavenly Father everyday for them. Kylie, Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!! Happy 3rd Birthday!

Trick or Treat

Tonight was Halloween, and I am so glad it is over! Kylie had so much fun though, and looked adorable. We went out to my Mom's since it has a lot more little kids then Pam and Ed's neighborhood which is dying in the kid department! Kylie to our surprise kept saying, "We need to go to more houses." I was pretty cold, but she loved the whole trick or treat experience. Ethan stayed and passed out candy with Grandma! Some pics are of him in his Johnny Jumpup, which he loves Kylie likes to try to help him, but usually causes more damage than good! Well I can't believe November is upon us, and the holiday season has been officially kicked off! Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloweens as much as we did! Happy Haunting; till next year!

Our Fall Vacation!

The kids and I just got back from our annual trip to the desert or as we call it the Ranch! It's basically a big family reunion camping in the desert. My Great Great Grandfather owned a ranch just above where we camp and raised my Great Grandfather their. We go every year and ride the four wheelers, go up to the ranch and swim in the pond, and just hang out with relatives we hardly ever see! It may not seem like fun to some, but I love it and enjoy the time with my family. I know we all look lovely in our pics, but you don't worry about hair and makeup down their! This year Kylie enjoyed playing with my cousins daughter Jenna and getting messy in the dirt. Ethan just enjoyed being adored by everyone and getting lots of attention. My Dad ended up jamming his knee trying to do the zip line (he thinks he is still 19 my mom says). As for the rest of us we just hung out. The kids enjoyed the annual trick or treating to each camp, and Kylie made away with way too much candy! Well it may not seem like much of a vacation to most, but I love it and enjoy it and my kids seem to too! P.S. Bry is too big of a Nancy Boy to go with us!! LOL! He never looks at this blog so I don't have to worry about the wrath I could get for saying that!!

All our picks at the desert!

Rolling Along! and ABC's!!!

YAHOO!!! Ethan can rollover!!!! He has been going from tummy to back for a couple weeks now, but now he is going back to tummy!!! He has done it at least 6 times that I have seen since Sunday, so I think it's okay to say he's got it!!!! Kylie and I clap for him everytime we see him do it, so he gets really excited and thinks he is pretty darn COOL!!! I can't wait for the sitting up, since laying down can aggrevate the acid reflux!!! But usually that is the next step so we'll start working on that!!! So many milestones with babies! Kylie is now singing her ABC's quite well and many more songs! We have also begun flash cards, so she is recognizing letters and what the look like! She has ABCD down and anytime she sees the letter shouts out "MOM there is an A!", yes nice except when driving and I think something is wrong!!! She has had her colors down since two, but is recognizing that certain things are usually a specific color, like fire engines are red!! She love the worksheets I bought her and loves tracing her shapes and drawing a line color to object!(like brown crayon to brown bear and so on.) She loves dance and has to show everyone her Batma's, turns, T's, shuffles, and is getting really close on doing summer saults on her own!! She always shocks me when she tells people stories, like at my mom's last week she was telling her a story that happened before Ethan was born! Just too smart and sometimes it gets me in trouble for things I promise!! Well just a little info on the kids and how much they are growing!
