Just Over a Year

Makayla is just over a year old. Her birthday party was a blast. We has wonderful support from family and friends. Makayla got so many great gifts. Kyle will be beginning his last year at SUU and then off to USU. Of course before that we will take a bit of a celebration vacation. Makayla is walking all over the house and even having fun charging people and is having fun learning to climb up selves and getting what she wants. I am working quite a bit in the morning and Makayla does not quite understand that. My brother is getting married on Friday which will be cool. I am extremely excited because my neighbor is expecting in February so Makayla won't be the only little one in the apartment. Today we got to go see Sarin's puppies and they are so cute and Makayla tried to play with them a bit but then pulled one of their ears and got a bit scared. Well time to go to sleep so I can wake up early and get typing. Goodnight Neverland.

Toddle toddle

So happy day, my baby took her first steps. She can only take three at this point in time but it is quite fun to watch. She will take three steps and then lunge (if you have something she wants). She is getting bigger and actually is starting to feel kind of heavy (I think the Lord knows I don't have muscles so gave me a small baby). We are having a way fun summer. Kyle and I celebrated our third anniversary by going to St. George and seeing Tarzan at the Tuachan. It was absolutely amazing and I am so glad that we decided to do that. While we were there I got two new outfits that make me feel like a sexy momma. I am so excited to do Makayla's birthday party and it will be great fun. Makayla is a little talker, at least around mom and dad. She loves to play with all the other little kids in our ward and loves to play peek-a-boo with the grown-ups during sacrament. Kyle is still working on that project at the school which is good and he has decided not to do Lamoreaux because then we would never see him, well we would but he would be doing homework. We took Makayla swimming with my mom and sister and it was quite fun. My mom especially loved it. Kyle got a pretty spiffy Father's day/anniversary present, it is a camera backpack that has a place for the tripod and a bunch of compartments and a place to put a camelback bladder. He was pretty excited about it. I finally went and got my massage that was my mother's day present and it was absolutely wonderful. I love it when there is a school of massage or cosmetology around it makes this so much easier to do. This summer we are going to endeavor to go to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, and Kolob Canyon while we are still out this way. We would also like to go an hike Kanaraville falls but we would have to do that without Makayla. I am so blessed to have the wonderful family I have and hope that they all know how much I appreciate them. It is so cute to see Makayla waving bye bye to people and she claps when we tell her something she did was good. She is a very curious little monkey and very active and of course, thanks to my mother's curse, she is having a great time figuring out how to climb. Well that is all for now. Thanks for reading.

Yay for watching, boo for rain

So, I hate gloomy rainy days they are horrible. Hopefully the sun will come out soon and it will get warm. Then we can go to a park with a grill and cook steaks. We went and saw the orthopedist and she said that Makayla's hip is looking good so we get to wait 4 months and hopefully by then we can say bye to the orthopedist for a long time (like forever). Makayla is making lots of different noises and it is hilarious to watch her be chased (she loves it). She has a very curious mind and gets herself in time out frequently (mostly for going to the plugs). Kyle may have something to do this summer that will be engineering experience and it will keep him from driving me crazy along with himself. My brother is graduating which is an awesome thing and in one year Kyle and Hannah will be graduating along with Michael. Then it is off to probably Logan for more school for Kyle's masters degree. Right now my toes are freezing because apparently while we were gone our heater broke and so we have been using space heaters but it has been very cold and getting down to 62 degrees in our house. Oh, also my best friend is having a girl which is so exciting and we went shopping which was fun and I found baby crocs for $4 at Kid to Kid (wonderful place). Well now back to my boring day and my cranky baby who needs a nap terribly but can't have one now because it is too close to bedtime. Loves.
