So it has been a very busy season and it has also been almost a year since I have posted, I am really bad at this. In May we moved from Cedar City after Kyle graduated from SUU and he started his masters program at BYU so we are now in Provo. Also after Kyle graduated we went to San Diego for a vacation which was so wonderful and Makayla loved all the animals that we saw at Sea World and the Zoo. She loved the Shamu splash and thought it was awesome how big they were. We had a lot of fun even though it was a long drive. We are lots closer to family and some friends, yet still miss all of our awesome friends from Cedar some of which have moved to other places as well. In July Makayla turned 2 years old and we had a wonderful party. She got some awesome stuff including a play kitchen that she loves and is always cooking in and often I hear "dinner time" She has been talking our ears off and even tells mommy "wait just one minute." Funniest thing she does is puts various stuffed animals and toys in time out. She loves to play ashes ashes we all fall down and loves to run in circles laughing up a storm. Her favorite shows to watch are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins. Her very favorite movie is Tangled, she will actually watch the whole thing. She really is a joy and fun, although sometimes exasperating. Kyle and I have been blessed for him to be the recipient of a grant funded by the Navy which pays for his tuition and also pays him for 20 hours a week. We both are still doing transcription, although me more than him. In August we found out that I have carpal tunnel and high cholesterol so worked on that for a few months and it is finally getting better. Makayla is just about completely potty trained, she once in a while has accidents but for the most part goes all by herself and is very proud of it. As for thing in our families, my sister got an internship at Manila Elementary and loves teaching most days. She will be able to walk at SUU graduation next May. My brother Tyson got married and then divorced, it was a very dramatic thing and wish he did not have to go through it, but think he is doing rather well as much as can be expected. Kyle's brother Devin came home from his mission in June and got to meet Makayla for the first time. It was rough at first as she was really confused that all of a sudden there was a new person in the family but she loves her uncle Devin now and can say his name and Michael's name also. Another wonderful thing is Aunt Candice is officially Aunt Candice, she and Devin got married December 17 so as the title says it is the most busiest time of the year. Their wedding was cold, but wonderful and turned out really well. The only thing that was really hard for me is I am pregnant and nobody, except for my little sis because she is nosy and asked, knew and we did not want to tell anybody until after the wedding as we figured it was Candice and Devin's time. So I was very tired, worn out, and did not feel very good and on top of that I am showing so I wore shapewear which made it hard to breathe. It was still good though. Kyle turned 26 on December 20 and we went to Ruby River, it was very yummy. Then we did a Christmas thing with my family on December 23 and had Christmas Eve dinner with Kyle's family at which point Makayla wore a shirt that said "I am going to be a big sister.... but I'd still rather have a puppy." She also told Grandma Bodily "baby, mommy's tummy." It was cute. Devin had the best reaction though. He said "I knew they could do it." He is funny. So, yeah I am due July 29 which is only three days away from Makayla's birthday so I am actually hoping I go late or early, like one and a half weeks to two weeks. We are so grateful for all of our friends and our family that support us. They all are amazing people and enrich our lives. Luvs to all.
