Summertime Fun!

Just to warn you that this entry is going to be a little picture heavy but you'll understand why. So first off Kayla got her first taste with spaghetti and she loved it! Of course because she gets to get all messy and eat at the same time! It was fun to see her chase the noodles around. It's getting easier for her to eat some of the foods now that she is up to four teeth! Yep 2 more just came in! It's been tonz of fun with her almost always teething for the past few weeks but at least it's going by fast and not getting drawn out over too long right?














Next it's been a up down summer. Warm one day and cold and raining the next. Well it was one of those really warm days so here are some fun pictures of Kayla hanging on the grass. She usually doesn't like the grass but that day she was digging it.














So it was warm enough that I got out the kiddy pool! Oh yeah I was excited! Kayla has a dang cute swimming suit and she loves playing in the bath so I was hoping that she would love the kiddy pool. Well I was holding her while it was filling up and she was practically diving out of my arms trying to get into the pool!! So my mother-in-law brought out some warm water from the house to warm up the water while I changed Kayla into her swimming suit. She went crazy when I put her in the pool! She loved it and was so dang cute!














She was giggling up a storm while playing in the pool!Oh and I figured out how the put video into my posts so here is a little video clip of Kayla playing in the pool. She's my cutie!

One then Two!

So Kayla finally got her first tooth! Yippee! It was much fun getting it since she has floaters. They would get right where they would almost break through and then sink back down. So yeah we have a tooth that isn't going back down! She's so cute with it and she always has her tongue on it to feel it so it's hard to get a picture of it. Well Kayla being the cute thing she is has already started pulling her self up and walking around all the furniture. It's a little crazy and she keeps trying to step away from her hand holds. So you can imagine we've had a few good falls. Well she has given her daycare a hard time because she has actually cut open her gums when she has fallen there. So with doing that she has helped another tooth come through on the top! So within a week she has two teeth! One one the bottom and one on the top.
So I was outside talking with my mother-in-law in the garden and Kayla was going to go in and get a bath so I put her down on the ground and of course she found the the dirt and rocks and started to eat them. She got nice and messy and I got this picture once I got inside because of course I didn't have my camera on me at the time. Like the mud ring around the mouth?
My brother Bryan gets home from his mission on Wednesday and I'm so excited! He has only seen Kayla through pictures and of course when he called on Mother's Day she was unusually quiet. So I'm very excited for them to finally meet!

First Mothers Day

So I had a wonderful first Mother's Day. I got to sleep in which is the best gift ever!!! Then Graydon made me french toast and it was great. My gift was a spa package which I get a massage, a facial and a pedicure! Yep I have the best hubby ever! Kayla found a popcorn tin that we got for Christmas and has been playing with it for a while. Well to be funny I stood her in it and she loved it. She got so mad when I took her out. But it sure did make for some cute pictures. Then we went to a bbq for our friends graduation and Kayla was grumpy and dirty so she got a bath with her buddy Grant. They had a grand time keeping each other entertained and Grant even tried to wash Kayla's hair for her.

Hospital and Camping

Believe it or not they are not related. So Tuesday morning about 2 am Graydon woke up very sick. He couldn't stop vomiting. So at 4 am we called Graydon's mom, who lives in the house below us, to come up to watch Kayla and I took Graydon to the hospital. Well lucky for us they weren't busy and Graydon saw someone really quick and they could him hooked up to an iv with fluids nice and quick because he was so badly dehydrated. Well they checked for appendicitis and he got a ct scan but it turned out to be an amazingly bad flare up of his crohns disease. So he was admitted to the hospital and got a good dose of medicines and antibiotics and he was released on Wednesday afternoon. So now he just has to keep up with his medicines and hopefully it won't happen again.

Now on to a happier note. We went camping this weekend. Yes Graydon wouldn't have anything to do with not going even after being in the hospital so we went. We went to Willard Bay campground which is only about an hour north of where we live so we just left after I got home from work on Friday. Well it was nice and chilly because of course the first day of May came in with snow. We had good food, was pretty cold Friday night but everyday it warmed up and Saturday night was so much better. Kayla did pretty good but wanted to be down in the dirt crawling around so it was interesting. We played games and took walks and pretty much did nothing. It was great. Of course I got some great pictures of Kayla and had to share.

She's on the Move!

So Kayla is crawling now! She's still going slower but it's crazy! Hurry get everything off the floor that is not for Kayla! She is so happy to being moving! I feel happy and sad that she is crawling. Yeah she is progressing and enjoying moving but my baby is growing and getting bigger and soon I will have to start chasing after her. Bitter sweet. OH but let me tell you something that I need to just rate and rave about. 3 year olds are worse that 2's! I swear I have some of the most destructive students ever. I actually had to say theses words, "We do not take pictures off the wall to chew on them or their tape!" I mean come on!!! I do love teaching them but sometimes I just can't believe what they do. Oh and the hat in the picture my Aunt Jo gave to Kayla isn't cute and fun! Thanks Aunt Jo! Well until next time!

Kiddy Days

So I've started my new job and it's crazy and fun. I teach the 3 year olds and man do they have energy and it's pretty tough to get them all to listen. But I like it so much better and it will be a good change. I've already caught a cold and lost my voice from being around all those kids but such is the life of child care. Kayla is trying so hard to crawl and gets frustrated because it's not going the way she wants. She's so busy and is always moving! She started at KinderCare also and seems to like it. Kayla loves being around other baby's and is very social. My mom's school had picture day and I took Kayla down to get her picture taken. I decided to put her in the little red and black dress that we love and did her hair curly. I can't wait to get those pictures back. So I've started putting Kayla's hair up because it has gotten so long that if I don't it's gets in her eyes. So here is my baby with her cute pig tails. Well that is the update our lives. Until next time.

Update!

Yippee! I've found a new job! I will be working at Kindercare Learner Center and I'm so very excited about it. I will be the 3 year olds core teacher. It's going to be hard but so much fun! Plus we get an amazing discount on child care and with our babysitter having a baby in a couple months it's good to know. Kayla is getting more and more mobile everyday and I find my self pulling things out of her reach all the time. Some things you never thought of until she's going for it. She is starting to pull her self on her tummy forward. I just keep going "you don't need to do that just stay as little as you are". Oh well. Well here is the picture of the day. Kayla loves to sit in big chairs and feel so big. Well she got a hold of one of my magazines and it was so cute I had to snap a picture.
