Daddy's little birdies

Ryan came downstairs yesterday with a milkshake.  He was immediately greeted by 2 hungry birdies! :)

I love the sequencing of the first 3 pictures, don't you?!

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

In order to get Kamryn to nap or go to bed these days, we have to ask her what we are going to do when she wakes up.  (Sorta a weird way to get her excited to do something after she naps!  She is SO good at negotiating these days!) :)  So, the other day, while we were playing on Disneypreschool.com, we found a recipe for Mickey mouse cupcakes.  So, she wanted to make them when she woke up!

 Kamryn's cupcake didn't really turn out looking much like Mickey.  But she was very excited about it! :) 

(I caught this picture right when she was blinking!  oops!) :)

 Aunt Krista made Mickey's with us!

 Yum Yum Yum

Kyler enjoyed the afternoon as well!  He got to taste his first grasshopper cookie!  Yum Yum!

P.S.  I just had to show what Kamryn was wearing, for record's sake.  

Such a classic insisted-by-a-2-year-old-outfit, don't ya think?! :) 

Kyler has 2 moms

Kamryn will often see me doing something with Kyler and jump right in to do it.  Whether it be diapering, playing or feeding--she does it all!  :)

This particular night, I had put the spoon down for a few seconds and Kamryn swooped in and took over! :) 

I love this last picture---she opens her mouth to help him open his mouth! :) 

(We've all done it, haven't we!?!) :)

My cute Boys!

I was looking through pictures today (obviously with all the blog posts!) :) and I found 2 really cute pictures of my boys!  Aren't they just the best?! :) 

I love my boys!


(PS don't miss out on the other 6 posts from today! I'm on a roll!)

Nintendo is loved at an early age!

 I often will find Kyler scooting toward one of the boys as they are playing video games... so funny! Enjoy!

 

 So Happy! :) 

Cougar Kiddos!

 This Christmas turned out to be a Disney Christmas and a BYU Christmas.  I really should get everything together from those 2 categories and take a picture! :)  Not intentional--but it happened.  We got the kids matching BYU t-shirts and then Kyler got a Football jersey (cutest thing EVER) and Kamryn got a cheerleader dress and bows for her hair!  :)  Good thing Daddy is hopefully going to BYU for grad school too, huh?! :)

GOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!

It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!  I hope you are all having a fabulous holiday season---we sure are.  

Kamryn has been so fun this year!  She just can't get enough of decorating and lights and Christmas!  And the greatest part is that she has no idea what will happen Christmas morning.  She isn't expecting a thing!  Don't we wish we all could have that attitude for Christmas?

 Kamryn loved helping decorate our tree.  We did our ornaments the first day--She was VERY into the princesses! :) (of course!) :)

 Cute Kyler!  Getting so big.  Ready for his first Christmas.

 --Candy Canes for the second day--

 We love Christmas!

Kamryn just can't get enough of it!  (I love this picture!) :)

Then we set up everything of my parents' upstairs a few days later--

 Grammy showed Kamryn all her Nativity sets and told Kamryn not to touch.

 Kamryn adores them.  She loves looking at all the "Baby Jesus's"...

 It's just so hard not to touch--but she is EXCELLENT at not touching and just looking!

 Time to help Grandad with lights on the tree

 Kamryn found an extra star in my parents things--so we went downstairs and put it on our tree.  Kamryn called it "candles---tree".  Of course, she wanted to help do it.

There--all set up for Christmas! 

These next two weeks are going to be busy busy busy for us.  (Hence, I'm trying to catch up on my blog now!  I know I'll get behind again!) :)

This week we get to go help Grandma and Grandpa set up their tree and Christmas stuff on Monday, 

then we get to celebrate Daddy's (Ryan's) birthday on Wednesday, 

Then Ryan's aunt flies in to visit for the weekend on Thursday, 

Then Elder Eric Moe gets home from his mission from Brazil on Friday!  

Then the BYU game is on Saturday and we get to spend time with Ryan's aunt.  

Then Sunday through Wednesday Ryan and I are sneaking away for our own little (and much needed) vacation to warm and sunny CALIFORNIA!

Then Wednesday when we get back, Kylie is home too! :) yay!

(And then the rest of the week is even just as busy!  Christmas is right around the corner!) :)  

We wish we could get you all a Christmas card this year--but the blog will have to do!  :)  I have put the card I designed for this year in my header. :) 

We hope all our friends and family will have a wonderful Christmas and Holiday. 

 Best wishes for you and your families.

Love,

Katrina, Ryan, Kamryn and Kyler  

Kyler is everywhere!

This video was taken almost a month ago, so you can imagine what more he is doing now!  But it's exciting to see Kyler growing so fast!  He is getting so big, so aware, and SO exploratory! :) 

Sitting here thinking...

Mr. Cold that has infected my children for the past month---

PLEASE GO AWAY!  

We are tired of not being able to sleep through the night

And tired of the runny noses

And tired of the coughs that wake them up

 And I feel so sad that I don't know what else to do to help them.

So, if you would just leave, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving

This weekend has been wonderful!

• Full of family (my family and Ryan's family got to do Thanksgiving together this year!  It was wonderful!) 
• Full of Daddy. (Daddy didn't have to go into work multiple days in a row!) 
• Full of Food.  (Fried turkey and all!) 
• Full of Pictures.  (I got my main Christmas gift for Thanksgiving to enjoy through the holiday season--a Cannon Rebel SLR camera.  I love love love it!)  :)  
• Full of Shopping  (Black Friday was quite the adventure--but it was so much fun! 2 Walmarts, Old Navy, back to Walmart, Kohls, Target, Old Navy--All in 6.5 hours! :) Thanks Mom for going with me!) 

It's been a wonderful weekend and I don't want it to end.
