6 months old

I can't believe my little man is 6 months old already!  Time has flown since he was born.  Some fun things Kyler does these days:
-Kyler LOVES the camera!  (as you can tell from the pictures above!) He will smile and smile and laugh every time a camera is pointed in his direction.  This is SUCH a relief for me because Kamryn has always been exactly opposite.  It's like pulling teeth to get her to cooperate in front of a camera!
-Kyler can sit up by himself and will play contently for long periods of time.  Sometimes I forget he is even there because he can entertain himself so well. (also something Kamryn is STILL working on! ) :)
-Kyler can almost roll over from tummy to back and back to tummy.  Both of my kids have been "later rollers"
-Kyler will scoot himself in circles and is constantly flapping his arms and legs wanting to "GO"!
-Kyler loves to watch Kamryn play and be silly. 
-Kyler loves to take baths with Kamryn. He thinks she is just the funniest thing! :)  It's too cute!
-Kyler got his first cold this past week.  Poor baby has a runny/stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, slight fever, etc.  He has trouble sleeping even with the humidifier right now...but I guess you have to have a first for everything.
-Kyler eats 5 bottles a day and is starting solid foods.  He loves everything we have tried thus far! It's great.
-Kyler still has his 2 dimples on his cheeks. (my favorite feature ;) )
-Kyler puts everything in his mouth. blankets, hands, toys, hair, etc.  I get sick of everything being wet sometimes but its all good.  He is inquisitive and learning.
-Kyler has quietly weaned himself off his binkie.  He just isn't interested in it.  (Now I just wish Kamryn would become disinterested too!)
-Kyler still grunts a lot like he did when he was brand new.  In fact, his belly laugh is a mixture of laughter and grunting.  Kinda cute.

-Kyler will reach for EVERYTHING in front of him---so watch out when you are holding him! :)
-Kyler is ticklish on his neck and tummy.  Nowhere else.
-Kyler loves to play with his own feet.  There have been times I think he is going to eat them, but not quite yet! :)
-Kyler weighs over 16 lbs
-Kyler doesn't really nap.  He will take little 10-20 minute catnaps about 2-3 times a day.  I miss my good napping hours when I could get stuff done or just have a break! :) 
-Kyler will scoot around on his back in his crib (thus bonking his head on the rails and then screaming)
-Kyler is learning how to share a room with his sister these days.  Quite the adventure.
-Kyler has been sleeping 9-11 hours a night for the past couple of months.  It's been really really nice!  However, we moved last week and with all the changes and then him catching a cold, we've been missing that sleep lately.  I am hopeful it will return soon!  :) 

Love you, Kyler bear! 

We're moving! (AGAIN)

Our contract in this apartment ends on Halloween.  Because Ryan has decided to get an MBA at BYU and we are going to stay put here in Utah for a while, we have started househunting.  But because we are house hunting and know we aren't going to stay in this apartment for much longer anyway, we have decided to move in with my parents in order to help ourselves save up for a down payment AND to avoid wasting more money on rent.  So...this month we will be gradually moving, saving for a down payment on a house, househunt and look into grad school more!  Wow!~  What a busy month! :)

We keep joking around about how much we move.  This apartment is the 5th apartment we've lived in since we got married (just over 3 years ago!!)  We promise we don't just LIKE to move! :) haha  But we really appreciate everyone who helps us every time! ;)

Couple of new posts!

Blogging is one of my favorite things to do...but with a 2 year old and a 6 month old...I just have the hardest time finding time and energy to do it!

And Although, I can't promise anything--I will try my hardest to blog at least once a week!  (however, it will be even more difficult this month because by the end of this month, we will be moving in with my parents.)

Enjoy the 2 posts I got done tonight! :)  Comments always motivate me to keep blogging! ;)

24

So, my birthday was a couple weeks ago.  Ryan surprised me when I woke up with a nice card and note that sent me on a scavenger hunt around our apartment.  At each of the 5 "stops" there was a 20 dollar bill and another note.  The money was all for a little shopping trip that night.  We went to the mall where I found a pair of black heels I've been wanting for a while.  We went to Kohls, where I didn't find much (unfortunately) but it was still fun to go shopping with Ryan and have no babies for a couple of hours.  We went to dinner at Pounders.  It is a YUMMY YUMMY Hawaiian grill!  (If you haven't been, you should TOTALLY go!!  Soooo good!  Now in Provo!)  

And then we went to my parents where our kids were and had ice cream cake and sang happy birthday.  It was a great day! :)

  I feel so blessed--wonderful husband, wonderful kids, member of the LDS church, we live near family, have a great job.  Here's to my 25th year being just as great as 24! :)

Pass of all Passes!!

My Mom and Dad emailed us a few weeks ago and told us about "The Pass of All Passes".  This is a pass for unlimited Trafalga (in Orem and Lehi), Seven Peaks Water Park (2011 Season), all Owls games and all Flash games.  And at the time we could get it for $35/person on Citydeals.com!  So we went for it!  And we've already gone a couple of times.  It's been great! :)

We went on the slick track.  Kamryn wasn't so sure about going quickly in the cars but she got more comfortable with it as Ryan drove with her more.

Her FAVORITE activity is Mini Golf.  We told her we were going to play with balls and asked her what color she wanted.  She thought for a minute and said "Green?!"  It was so cute.

 She loved running down each green to the hole.  She understood that she had to hit the ball with her "stick" ... but did it one handed.  She loved to follow EVERYONE's balls and then pick them up and give them to that person! :)  So funny! :)

 One handed AND upside down! :) That's talent!

Kyler watching everyone golf and not keep score!! 

We went again (to Lehi this time) tonight and she loved just running around the golf course ... wasn't as obsessed with the balls this time.  But this time, on the drive there, I heard this from the back seat: 

"Balls?! Green....pink....blue.... OK????!"  

I couldn't stop laughing!  What a silly and smart girl! 

Golfing with Grandad and Grammy

Anyway, I think the passes are still available!  And they are SOOOOO worth it!! :)
