Go BYU!!!! oh wait.....

It's been a little while since I have posted so I will try to catch you up on a few things that have been going on the past few weeks. On Saturday Christian and I were invited by our friends KC and Camille to go to the Las Vegas Bowl to watch BYU play. Christian is a H-U-G-E BYU fan and to put it nicely...... well there is no nice way of saying, they sucked it up BIG TIME. Needless to say there may have been few choice words spoken that night. It would have been worth standing out in the cold if they would have won but that obviously didn't happen. My sister watched Kylee for us and that night she took her to a Christmas party where Santa showed up. Kylee was less than impressed as you can see by the pictures. To tell you the truth I'm really surprised she didn't scream. I would have thought she would have screamed her head off like every other kid. Then again.... Kylee is not like every other kid. Heck, she is 7 months old and still won't roll over. Maybe it was the setting. Who knows. Whatever it was the pictures turned out cute. Also, last week when it snowed I pulled the blinds up and Kylee sat in front of the window for a good hour or so. She was so fascinated with it and it was really cute to watch her get so excited about it. Next year it will be a lot more fun when she can actually go out and play in it. In a nutshell that has been our lives for the past couple of weeks. I hope everyone else has been a little more exciting than we have.

Also, I hope everyone has a good Christmas!!!!

Little miss attitude

A few weeks ago we got Kylee's 6 month pictures taken. Let me just say that she was the BIGGEST stinker. She would not smile no matter how stupid we were acting, how many faces we pulled, and how many songs we sang to her. We tried everything. As you can see by the pictures she was excited to be there. So excited that the photographer gave us half off the price because she wouldn't smile. But...... Thanks to Deb at Funny Face Photo for being patient with us and capturing Kylee at her finest. We managed to get a few smiles out of her. They all turned out really cute especially the ones of her pulling attitude. Funny to see her little personality come out everyday and scary that she takes after me. Eeek!!!!!

Who wouldn't laugh at this?

For one reason or another Christian and I can not get Kylee to laugh at us. The above video is Christian's attempt to get her to laugh. Keep in mind that the first time he did this she laughed her head off. We can do certain things one time but good luck getting her to laugh at the same thing twice. Guess she is just a one trick pony. Any pointers on how to get this stubborn little girl to laugh?

Take a Hike

A few weeks ago Christian and I went hiking up Snow Canyon on Johnson's Trail with our friends Dallas, Mindy and their little boy Kayden. It was beautiful weather and beautiful scenery. Anyone who hasn't hiked that should definitely do it. It only takes about 45 minutes total and is so worth it. Kayden and Kylee couldn't keep their hands off each other as you can see. What they don't know is that they already have an arranged marriage J/K. But it was fun to watch them interact and talk back and forth to each other. So thanks to Jeff and Sheri for letting us use their pack to haul Kylee around. We will return it one of these days :).

Oh and on a side note you still have a few more days to send me your email addresses before I go private.

I have decided to go private. Anyone interested in still viewing my blog send me your email address.

Happy Halloween!!

For Kylee's first Halloween she was a pink leopard (is there such thing? There is now I guess). As you can see by the pictures she was so excited to be in her costume. I felt so bad for her because when I first put her in her costume it was still 80 degrees outside. That's way too hot to be in a flannel outfit if you ask me. She was roasting. By the time we got to my parents house she was pretty much done playing dress up. Christian also decided to dress up at the last minute. I was in the other room getting ready and he came running in with those tight short shorts and old school Provo running jersey. I about fell over backwards. Then he started stretching like he was getting ready for a race. I couldn't resist getting some snapshots of this and I was also not about to go out in public with him in those clothes even if it was Halloween. Isn't there a law against wearing something like that out in public or even in your own home? You could see every curve of his body in that thing. If there is one thing you will learn about Christian it's that he is not afraid to do or say ANYTHING. Love you Mason. Thanks for always making me laugh and cheering me up.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!!
