Halloween 2009

Halloween was loads of fun this year. We started out carving our pumpkin then ended up at Christian's parents house to do a little trick or treating. We ended up taking our pumpkin to Christian's parents house so we could at least see the finished product all lit up. It actually didn't turn out all that bad.
Kylee was not too sure about trick or treating at first but caught on really really fast. She wanted to walk to all the houses and carry her mel-mo bucket. After we hit a few houses we came back and Kylee helped grandpa Mason hand out the candy to all the kids. I think she might have had just as much fun doing that as she did doing the trick or treating herself.
I on the other hand should have stayed home on bed rest like the doctor ordered. I came home with swollen ankles and feet and now my feet look like shrek feet. O'well. It was so worth it to watch Kylee get all dressed up and excited about the night. Thanks grandma and grandpa mason for letting us bombard you for the night. We had loads of fun and I hope everyone else did too.

Once there was a snowman

This is Kylee's first snowman. Oh and don't mind that Kylee totally looks like a little boy in this picture. I should have been a little more prepared and put a coat on her but I guess I'm just used to the St. George weather and didn't really think about putting her coat on. Brilliant mother I am huh? She loved being out in the snow and loved the snowman her daddy made for her. Every time we went outside she would say smo mo (snowman). I'm so not prepared for the snow but like it or not here it comes and I'm sure Kylee will have a blast in it.

Wii Tennis Player or Rag Doll?

On Sunday Kylee spotted the wii remotes and really wanted to play with them. So Christian turned on tennis and let her "help" him play. She thought it was cool at first and then decided that she wanted to hold the remote all by herself and when Christian wouldn't let her that's when she leaned over sideways and at the same time Christian swung the remote. Does she not look like a rag doll being tossed around in his lap? When Christian gave her free reign to the remote she got down and tried to show us some of her skills. It amazes me how much they learn just by watching the things we do. She is getting more and more of a personality every single day and not a day goes by that she doesn't surprise us with new and super funny things. I love this girl and could not imagine my life without her.

Alpine Loop

Yesterday we took a ride on Alpine Loop to see the leaves. Figured we might as well go since it is supposed to snow in the mountains tonight. It was so cool to see all the leaves changing and the pictures don't even do it justice. Wish I had a better camera to capture the images. Fall is definitely in the air.

It's a Miracle

At almost 16 months old Kylee has started taking her first steps. Christian and I have been working with her at home and she would only take a few steps here and there but while visiting my parents this weekend she decided she would do the marathon walk. I guess there is hope that she will be walking by the time this new baby gets here. Miracles really do happen!!!!

Bridal Veil Falls and a few random pictures

We took a little walk up to Bridal Veil Falls the other day and let Kylee put her feet in the water. It was FREEZING cold but she loved every minute of it. It's such a pretty walk and I would recommend it to anyone.
Also, there are just a few random pictures of Kylee being her mischievous self and getting into things left and right. She definitely keeps us on our toes but we enjoy every minute of it.

We have a slight problem

So I hired an exterminator. Well.....ok it's just Christian but really, we have a HUGE problem at this house. Wasps, EVERYWHERE and anyone who knows me knows that I am petrified of bee's, wasps, hornets, whatever you want to call them. I run like Forest Gump and I don't stop until those suckers leave me alone. We even have them building nests literally on our front door. It's ridiculous how many there are around here and it looks as though we aren't the only one with this problem. All the neighbors have them as well. UGH.....
