Kaylee

Kaylee turned 7 months on Monday!
I can't believe how fast time how flown by since she joined our family!


Here are some fun "facts" about Kaylee!
~She is usually a VERY happy baby...as long as someone is paying attention (playing, holding, or talking) to her.

~She almost always "goes with the flow" she's happy just about anywhere...in her car seat, stroller, ect.



~She L.O.V.E.S. men and teenage boys. Owen and Tanner can get the biggest smiles from her! A few weeks ago I had to leave during the sacrament because she kept squealing at the boys passing the sacrament. If they walked passed and didn't look at her she would squeal louder to try and get their attention!

~She loves her brothers and sister. She loves it when the try to pick her up and hold her...it scares mom but she thinks it's great!

~She can sit up on her own. Once sitting up she gets SO excited and starts flapping her arms all over the place and falls over. It's a vicious cycle, but she thinks it is so much fun!

~She makes the funniest faces.
(Sorry Lucie, this is not the best picture of you!! You just woke up!)


~She is crawling all over the place....


...She follows me everywhere I go. Once she finds the room I am in, I hear her happy squeals and turn around to see Kaylee smiling very proudly at me!!!


~She LOVES ice cream! If she sees you with a bowl and spoon there is no stopping her! She will attack you until you give in and share with her. And yes she really attacks...grabs your bowl, grabs your spoon, grabs your face, hits your face, claws your eyes...whatever it takes!

~She sucks her index and middle fingers when she is tired. I know it will be a pain to break her of this habit, but it is just too cute!

Best of all....she puts herself to sleep! I feed her, give her a kiss, and lay her in her bed. She smiles at me, puts her fingers in her mouth, and closes her eyes. She then sleeps ALL night (last night she slept for 10 hours!)!

Rainy Day

Back in September it rained...not for very long...not very exciting. Lucie however thought it was WONDERFUL!!!! She kept asking if Mom and Kaylee and Lucie (she says Sue cee) could play in the rain. I gave in both girls (and Mom) had a great time!
Lucie is always ready for any kind of adventure! She is always looking for and thinking up fun things to do! Life would be SO boring without Lucie around! :)



It doesn't look like it here...but Kaylee thought it was SO fun to chase Lucie in the rain!

I Am A HORRIBLE Mother (and blogger)!

If you don't want to read my ramblings scroll down to see more new posts!

There are 2 very good reasons I have gotten so behind on my blog:
The first...After "catching" up on all of our summer activities I of course blogged about the first day of school, the following week I went to blog about a very important event (coming soon!) and realized that I had forgotten to post Kody's 5th birthday. My first thought was to "edit" my post and no one would ever know. Then I remembered some conversations that Logan and I have been having. I have been trying to teach him that EVERYONE makes mistakes even Mom's and Dad's, we need to acknowledge that we have made a mistake, and then fix the mistake. With my own words ringing in my mind I realized that even though Logan (and Kody) do not read this blog, I still need to acknowledge and fix my mistake.
The second....while getting ready to blog about the "important event" (which I have made to sound like it is huge when really it's not all that big of a deal) I started thinking about all of the personal information I share about my family. So, to make a long story short, I have been trying to decided if I should go private with our blog. What is keeping me from going private you ask? I am secretly a blog stalker....there are many blogs I have found of past friends (and acquaintances...I can't believe I just admitted that) through "blog hopping". I enjoy reading them and would be devastated if they went private since I do not have the guts to tell them that I am reading their blog. :) What if I have loads of secret fans that wait, checking my blog everyday for my next exciting and informative post? Then I got scared at the thought of a bunch of crazies looking at my kids ....I know, the only crazy here is me!

July 2, 2009 Kody's 5th Birthday!

Kody I am SO sorry I forgot to add your birthday to the list of exciting events this summer! Happy Birthday! I hope you had an AWESOME day!
If you ask him...his favorite part of his birthday???? Going to lunch at Wild Buffalo Wings with his Uncle Owen! Thanks Owen!!!! :)






Hayes Hero!!!!



Kody was chosen to be the first Hayes Hero of his class!
Kody was SO excited to bring his poster and show and tell item to class on Monday!
Great Job! We are SO proud of you!
Keep up the good work!

Let's Go Fly A Kite....

One of the "perks" of being a Hayes Hero in Kody's class is getting to pick out of the treasure box. Kody picked out an Iron Man kite (which ended up being 2 Iron Man kites). Since it was Monday and it also happened to be windy we decided to take the kids to a nearby park a fly Kody's kites. We had so much fun! Now every time we have a windy (or breezy day Logan and Kody ask if we can go to the park and fly the kites again!)
