My Handsome Little Man

Ky got a new church outfit, and i am in love with it! So we had a small photo shoot with it yesterday before church...enjoy my handsome, smiley, precious gift!

Pictures

Today i was looking through my moms SD card that i had to borrow to take pictures at Thanksgiving and found some old pictures of ky, and thought i would share...i think they are cute! and i added some new ones...seems like we have been a little short on pictures lately! :)

I adore this picture...feel bummed that i just now am finding it!

Look at that sad face he is giving!!

Ky and Grandma Nancy (i think he was like a week and a half)

 I have no idea when this was taken...but it is at my moms house and i love it!

 Kyler loves the shower attachment. His whole face lights up when we turn it on.

 Kylers first time swimming in a big pool...see how excited he is!

Poor kid froze..look at his blue lips!! He loved it, just need to find a pool that is heated next time so we can last longer!

Some Days

I cant help but to laugh....

Today i started listening to myself and this is what i heard, and its only 1PM....
*Please take your finger out of your nose
*Stop picking your lip
*Time to go potty
*Did you wash your hands
*Mister Magoo!!!
*Dont touch!!
*NO, NO, NO!
*Please Dont
*Clean up time
*Kucky dont put that in your mouth!
*Pew you stink!
*Love you misters!
*Ohhh, cool truck!
* Dont break it or dont rip it!
*Chooooo, Choooooo
*Catch it!
* Good catch
*Good talking!
*Use your words
*Say your sorry
*Say thank you
*Give him a hug, make him feel better
*Where is your blankey or "b" depending on who i am talking to
*What does the _______ say
*Watch my mouth, say ________.
*Please eat, stop playing and eat

Were overwhelmingly on the top of the list. Some days i really feel like i would like to say things in full sentences. :) But i do love my job and love the kids i have to tend right now. They are all the best.
Today at lunch the only little girl i watch told me today she can do anything now that she is 6, she can cook a hot dog, pour her own cereal and milk, make juice, and a sandwich.....i said you can do anything in the whole world, she said yup if i can do those things there is nothing i cant do. :)
I wish i could say that i can cook a hot dog therefore there is nothing i cant do!! Loved it!

Happy Heart Moment

Yesterday i had one of those moments that makes you relize that what you are trying to teach is entering that little head and sticking....even if what you taught them doesnt surface as often as you would like.
I was getting lunch ready for daycare, the big kids upstairs playing and my mommas boy down with me. I set out the little table and chairs and got to cooking. Kyler helped himself up to the little table as he often does, but this time after he sat down he immediatly bowed his head and folded his arms and said "amn" or amen. He did this over and over. Made my heart happy.Now if i could just get him to do it when we all sit down to the table to eat and pray. :)
Just thought i would record it in my "journal" and share my happy mommy moment with you all.

My Kid. . . .

Means the world to me if you havent previously known that. He is truly my pride and joy. I love taking him everywhere with me, not only because he is my best bud and entertainment while walking through stores, but everyone who sees this kid mentions either A. That he has the most beautiful big brown eyes they have ever seen (which is true he does have beautful eyes, im not biased) or B. that he is the happiest, freindliest boy and always leaves them smiling becuase he waves to them and says "hi" or C. those that see him the longest (like dr visits, which have been many this past month, or at church, etc) say he is super smart and such a great talker.
What more could a mommy want to hear than things like that...absolutely nothing.
I am bored this morning, should be doing something else, but instead i am going to do his 18 month post and will update the picture when i finally have a boy that doesn't have sick droopy eyes.

Here is a LONG side note about his heath as it is currently.
Might i say that i was not dreaming or making it up that he was really sick. He has pneumonia, double ear infections, which he got WHILE ON antibiotics, and was dehydrated, not a shocker the kid wont eat and it is a fight to get him to drink. So we had a visit to the hospital yesterday afternoon, had a little boy with little tears of complete fear and anxiety while they put in the IV, and when we left i had a boy with LARGE crocodile tears as they came back to take out that pesky IV. The change in tears, i imagine was the amount of fluid in his body, because he was mucho sad when they put it in, and seemed a shame that he could only muster up those small tears that barley made it out of the crook of his eye. But it was all worth it, going back to the dr. bugging that poor man again, because last night was the first night of NO FEVERS in 4 or 5 nights (sadly i cant remember, probably the lack of sleep). He slept like a rock until 11 :) and woke up crying, i went in, ready for my nightly routine of take temperature, see how bad the damage is this time, get cold rag cause it is 103, figure out if i can give him Tylenol yet, if so, administer it, and then rock the poor sick boy till he falls asleep, hold that darling soul for about 30 more minutes, take temp again, if dropping put him in bed, if the same keep a rocking until it is down to 101. BUT not so last night *sigh of relief* the problem last night that granted 4 wake-ups was, i think, from being spoiled for a week in being held for hours on end at night. He couldn't put himself back to sleep. So we would rock, then put him in bed, he would scream, I would get up rub his back, tell him to go to sleep, and he would cry for 5 more minutes and then wam asleep again. Only 4 times, pretty good i think! :)
So here i sit at the computer at 8:15AM and he is still snoozing, such a good sign! I think we might have found the cure, now we can move back on to the problem that existed before all this yucky snot, fevers, coughs, and tantrums......his diarrhea. It was nice to not worry about it for a while. Besides the fact that i am getting used to not giving him milk or any form of milk to him, which is harder than i thought.

18 months and counting. .. . . . .

My little boy as of now is
24lb which lands him in the 27%
don't remember his height, but also the 27th %
          Both shocking because he was this at 15 months
and his head is 46% (also a shocker cause he has such a mini-head usually)

As for his accomplishments, this time i have things i can write!! Yea!
He is such a great talker! He is learning words as fast as we can throw them at him. Seriously. He loves it too.
The other day while driving to my moms for Thanksgiving he was going crazy in the back so i started asking him to say words me and Brandon were dieing in the front because he only missed about 3 or 4 of the 25 or so we asked him. He blew our socks off!!
Yesterday at the dr office he kept calling the dr. "daddy" i told him he is someones daddy, but not his, and that his name is doctor. Kyler looked at him and said "doctr" the dr about died, he could not believe he could say a word that fast after learning it. duh he is my kid, of course he is going to be amazing!! :)
Here is the list of other words you can hear around my house, or if you ask, you will hear:
*Mommy, Daddy, Papa(grandpa), Mama (grandma), Doggie, Baby, beep beep, Nigh night (can be he wants to go to bed, or his blankey), "B" which is what he uses the most for blanket, Juice (all liquids), door, up, done, tackter (tractor), Tzack, (Tyzack a little boy i tend that he loves to death), cow, Tutle (turtle), Cookie, Cheese (although we rarly hear this now he cant eat it), go, "ath" (bath), choo choo (usually means turn on Thomas, but is a train too), kucky, ball, Baby Tess (his cousin), uh oh, "no" (snow, he just shakes his head no, for no),  ok there are lots more, but i think i am done for now. :)

He is also really quite the tease. He is always making us laugh.
He loves to watch Thomas and "maml" (elmo)
He loves Tyzack and gets so excited when he gets here. They play so cute together, i love it!
When you ask him a question he nods his yes and does it with such conviction...its so cute.
He likes being a big boy and eats at the table now in a booster.
He LOVES to play in the piano
He loves to do things himself, or at least try....like he trys so hard to hang up his coat, but cant quiet reach, so he always ends up coming back to ask for help.
He has a cookie/candy dance...he does it when he really wants a treat you are offering him.
He is getting super curly hair, i love it! His daddy doesn't like it as much as me :)

here is a movie of some of his words....i did it just to have not to post so its kinda long, sorry.

Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. No stress that Christmas brings, not super busy like Christmas is, it is just perfect. This year was no exectption. We got to have my whole family together this year...yes the whole family (minus Jakes little boy Mitchell) We have not had the entire family together in YEARS. It was so fun and so nice. All of Gaylens family was there, which is always such a treat, i love them all just as if we were all raised together in the same family. I have been blessed with an incredible family.

Here is the crew....a grad total of 46 people in our family!!

 Finn and Kyler enjoying some reading time with Grandma

 The whole family

 Kids table

 Ky wouldn't eat for us all day on Thanksgiving, but he sure did like his first ice cream cone!!! (funny side note is that he kept saying "ha, ha, ha" or hot hot hot while eating it. Also sad note is he threw that yummy icecream cone up that night while we were all downstairs enjoying a movie, not till we came up to bed did we smell that foul smell and found him sleeping in his own puke. Poor poor boy!)

My future piano player!! He absolutely loved loved loved that grand piano of my moms. He could not leave it alone. He was the only grandkid out of i think 19 or something that even bothers that piano, and he cannot get enough of it! I told him he couldn't pound the keys and showed him how to plunk the keys with one finger, yup he listened to his mommy like a good boy, and plunked those keys all 3 days we were there.

An Update and Some Thoughts

Update:
So i havent updated for a while, and that is ususally unlike me. Especially cause i havent even done Kylers 18month pictures or update for his book. Why is this, oh cause we cannot seem to be healthy around here. Not so much me (although i have a cold, but all pregnancy sickness has finally subsided) not really Brandon(although he did have a nasty 24 hour flu yuckyness yesterday), but my poor darling best bud, he is the sick one around here, and its killing me.
I think i mentioned in a post before that Ky was sick with diahreah. That is an understatement. He has been so super sick, not eating, not gaining weight, and honestly a holy terror at throwing fits, which is so out of the norm for my little angel boy. He has had diareah for about a month and a half (feel bad for the pregnant woman for changing that many nasty diapers please, and feel bad for our pocket book that has had to buy more diapers than ever too) :)
Now 2 drs later, and waiting for a dr appointment with Primarys, we think we might have an idea of what it is. Dairy. We have cut all dairy out of the dairy loving little boys diet, and we got 2 good poops out of him before the next wave of unhealthyness took over his poor broke down body and spirit. He has a nasty cold, fevers that stay in the range of 100-103, little sleep, snotty nose, horrible cough, and even an eye infection. I honestly dont think this little boy of mine even knows what feeling good feels like.  So pray for this little man that he will get better from this ailement, so we can move back to the other and get it all good and squared away.

So with that all said now i am going to ranble cause that is what i feel like doing, if you want to read it, go for it, but it is likely it will not make sense. :)

Thoughts:
When we were trying to get pregnant with Kyler over that long misrable year i heard many moms pregnant with their second + child say things like, "oh ya, i am pregnant" or "I am so wound up in what my kids are doing i just dont even remember that i am pregngnt." Things like that used to bother me to no end. I was so jealous that they were even pregnant, i couldnt imagine how you could forget such a blessing (not to mention all the side effects of pregnancy). It bothered me even more when they would say it once i was pregngnt, becasue that was such a wonderful time for me and Brandon. That baby was the topic of 95% of all out converstaions. I could not fathum forgetting about that growing moving little babe in me.
Why do i mention all this, because with all the stress of Kyler's health, and with daycaring, i can honestly say i forget that i am pregnant, which in return breaks this moms heart over and over again. We had to fight to get this baby too, i cried tears of joy when i found out everything worked out for us again, so how can i forget about it. Dont know, it really bugs me. On the brighter side i guess all this business, and being preoccupied with all the kids i do have to love and hold, this pregnancy seems to be flying. I am officially out of my first trimester, which with Ky seemed like an eternity. I get to find out what it is on the 3rd of January which is something to look forward to. The baby is healthy and wiggling and rolling all over in me. I am grateful to have this baby to look forward to, i am so grateful for my little boy that i get to wake up to crying in the room next door for his mommy. I am grateful for an amazing husband and for all his support, and for good friends and family that keep me sane when, lets be honest, i am the furthest thing from sane these days! :)  Wow thanks for reading if you still are. I just sometimes need to vent so i can contiune on.
Look for a 18 month post soon...i just need ky to be healthy and happy enough to take some good pictures of him.

So i have been so frustrated tonight with my poor little boys diaper rash. He has had diahrea for a little over a month now, never producing bad enough diaper rash that i could heal with my miricle cream called Resinol. It has healed every diaper rash i have come across as a mom, or daycare provider. Its awesome stuff and have relied on it 100% for a really long time. BUT, about 3 days ago Ky started with a rash that wouldnt go away with it, never bleeding, but not going away, NOW it is bleeding, it is getting worse, and i am at the end of my rope, (this being mostly becuase i am waiting to see what exactly can be causing the bad diarea, and ever praying it is not Ciliac and is actually something that is cureable.) 
Back to my story and why laughter is key..... tonight i decided before bath i would let the little boy run around in his birthday suit while filling the bath tub and cleaning up dinner. I was a little worried, i have done it before and ended up with a puddle, but i, again am completely desperate, so we let him run free! He was free about 5-10 mintues when i went to get him for bath, and what did i find, a happy little boy watching himself pee on my floor, laughing saying "juice". I lost it and laughed myself. awww felt good to laugh and to not care that there was pee on my tile, atleast it wasnt on my carpet! :) 
I am blessed to be a mom, and blessed to have a darling little boy to worry over. How boring and stress free life would be if i didn't have my best little bud!

Cute T.R.O.U.B.L.E

Today i was bringing Ky and his cousin Hueston in from playing outside, i opened the door into the house and they walked in, but i got talking to Brandon outside and didnt think anything of it till i walked inside and it was super super quite....then that gut renching feeling came, like "what am i going to find" i was worried, i will be honest....but this is what i saw

the two of them had helped themselves to an apple out of the box in the laundry room on their way in, walked through the kitchen and into the living room settleing down on the coffee table against the wall...There they sat munching away happily on their apples. Brandon says, "now that might be the cutest thing i have ever seen." and i relized it was ok, they handent gotten into a bowl full of candy, or got into the flour bucket, and i giggled and agreed, it really was the cutest thing i have seen in a while.
Hueston looks like he has just been seriously busted and is worried, and Kyler thinks he is hilarious....both very common reactions from the two of them when they get caught doing something they know they shouldn't! :)

The Timer Has Been Set. . . . . . .

And the bun will be fully cooked on 

May 25, 2011!!!!!!!!!

Halloween Fun!

Our Cute Dragon Boy

I love Halloween. I always have...not the whole scary part, not at all the scary part...just the fun decoration, the dressing up, and all the candy! :)
Brandon's Grandma's birthday is on Halloween so we get to celebrate it with them and this year it was a dress up party...here are some of the costumes and fun.

Jared, Sara, Maddy, and Chester

Justin, Jolene, Donald (Brandons Parents and brother)

 

Lisa and Chester

The birthday girl!! Grandma Crisp

Our Witches Brew

We also went on a trunk-or treat in Manti while we were there celebrating the birthday... Ky wasn't too sure about taking candy from strangers... mommy must have taught him a little too well :) (odd though, i don't remember teaching him that!)

my new addiction.... enjoy

I am loving this new song! I wish it was an acual music video instead of someones pathetic way of getting attention on You Tube...but alas it was the only way to post the song for free :) at least the only way i know!
Enjoy it!

17 months

Late late late, but oh well. I accually forgot to do it, and was going to post somthing else about him today, and decided to combine it all into one post for the lost post.

What has my little man been up to lately:
* He talks like a champ!! This has really just started this month and me and Brandon are LOVING it. He jabbers non stop, but in his jabbers he throws in real words too. It is my favorite!
* He says stuck, "diss" for this (is usually said in a tone as if to say, "whats this?", Banana (or somthing like that), baby(any child 7 or under constitutes a "baby" to him) and oh i cant say everything, he knows lots
* He loves to say his animal sounds, and is learning them fast. The other day he learned the cow from daddy and loves to do it. Then later that same day we taught him the sheep. His other favorites are what the lion says, doggie says, horsey, and fishy.
* HE HAS CURLS!!!! I sooooo regret cutting his hair so short so often durning the summer....he could have serious locks of curls by now!! I love it, and am trying my hardest to convince Brandon it is cute to let him grow his hair out and its super ok for me to scrunch it to get the curls! :)

*He is getting super attached to mom and dad...this makes me super nervous for nursery next month....... should have took him at 15 months and all would have been ok!
*He has the absolute cutest personality and his mommy and daddy love him more than anything on this entire earth!
*He says "am" or "amn" in such a happy tone when we end family prayer...makes us giggle every night... now if we could just get him to fold his arms again....or just hold still.....but nevertheless he does try and say amen! :)

*He has a love affair with books! Some days i regret ever introducing him to books because that is all we would do all day if i let him! I do love that he loves to read. I love walking in on him reading to himself, it makes my heart melt.

*He loves his friends who come everyday, which is a nice change from the jealous boy we had for a while. He gets super excited to see Tyzack, they have become friends the last week and now they are buds and play so cute together. It doesn't seem to matter that there is about 2 years between them!

Ky and his Cousin Hueston Painting their pumkins

Love Kids

I love my job! Today I was getting lunch ready when one of the little boys comes in and asks. . . .

T: "what we having for lunch?"
Marci: Egg sandwich, pineapple, grapes, and carrots
T: "I dont like eggs!"
Marci: "Sorry bud that is what we are having"
 He leaves until its ready and sits down with the other kids
S: "what is this?"
Marci: "Egg sandwich with ketchup"
T: "my mom says i don't like ketchup"
S: "ohhhh i love egg sandwiches and ketchup"
T: "Really?"
S: "yup"
T: " oh, i love them too" and he takes a monster bite and eats his whole sandwich
wow the power of peers in play at such a young age!! :)

Vermont

I love to travel, I love to see new places, and I LOVE saving money when doing these 2 things that are quite costly! So it seems very convenient that i have had family that has chosen to move far away, some more permanently than others. 2 years ago we got to go to England and stay with my brother Luke and his family while touring England, and decided while we were so close we would take a jont to Paris too. It was lovely!
This time we got to go to Beautiful Vermont to see my brother Chase who is in medical school out there. We left late late on the 4th and got there the morning of the 5th, and this blog post is dedicated to that vacation. :)

The flight out
Typically i get ecstatic to fly, i love the hustle bustle of getting to your plane, sitting by new people, and well just flying, I love it! This time, i never got those excited butterflies, and excited anticipation of a long flight...i was filled with nervousness, worry, and quite honestly stress! Why the change? This little dude was coming along for the ride........

and while people in church think his constant moving and wiggles and squeals are adorable, in tight quarters people rarely think a crying, squealing, noisy almost 18 month old is adorable. But, we packed a million snacks a few new movies from grandma and hit the run way.
A girl in her 20's sat in the same sections of seats with us, and i warned her she might be in for a long flight, i thought it only fair to give advance sorrys for a long loud ride. She answered back, "its ok i have nieces and nephews." I thought so do i but i dont love other peoples loud kids! :)
But in the end, Ky cried for about 15 minutes and then gave up the ghost and took a good long snooze for the rest of the flight. awww sigh of relief. However, any of you held a sleeping toddler for 5 hours....SOOOO not comfortable! I had a goal to improve our next flight home.....which i did, and will tell you about it later. While we were waiting to exit the plane, the girl sitting next to us complimented him on how good of a little boy he was, thanks! and another woman on the way out said the same thing. So comforting to hear, i guess my boy isn't as monstrous as i thought! :)

The Visit
It is so nice to be with family. I love it beyond all other things.
We visited Boston with Chase and Missy, which was so fun. We traveled down the Freedom Trail visiting all the historical sights leading to the Revolutionary War. It was really informative...and i realized how much i have forgotten since I was in school....a sad realization! :)
It was so fun to walk all though town just chatting and visiting with Chase and Missy and seeing all the sights. We had lunch, finished our way to the end which is Bunker Hill, then headed back to our car... Ky was such a trooper the whole day just being pushed around in his stroller, with occasional stops when we would let him out to play...like here at the park....

He had a blast, i think this was his favorite time of the whole trip...just chasing the pigeons and squirls. Just look that this complete joy on his face.....

Once we were back in Vermont we hung out at their house, caught up with my parents, went sailing....which was so freezing cold, but SOOO worth it. Brandon and I have never been sailing, so it was a great experience to have...Brandon even got to be 2nd mate to Chase (Missy being his first mate) The colors around the lake were so beautiful, and just being on the water was fabulous!

Then Missys brother and wife came into town, and mom and Gaylen took off to Boston, and we got to hang out with them for the rest of our trip.
We visited Sharon, VT where Joseph Smith was born on Sunday. It was BEAUTIFUL! The colors were so beautiful, the sunset was one of the best i have ever seen or caught on camera. The kids loved playing in the leaves, and we have a great time posing for a million and one pictures

The next day we got to rent a 12 passenger van and all 9 of us loaded in and took off to Stowe, VT to the Ben and Jerry's Factory, the Apple Cider Mill, a Cheese and Chocolate taster place and then a gorgeous drive through Stowe.
Yes, it was a day full of food, and by the end of the day, on a yucky windy road i lost it all....first time getting sick in over 3 years. Yuck! But it was a very fun day!!

Then we headed home...This time i got up the nerve to ask if there were empty seats on the flight so we could put Kylers car seat on the plane and let him sleep in there....oh happy happy happy happy day!! There was and they let us have one. It made the cumbersomeness of hauling that dang car seat through the airport SOOO worth it. Ky slept the whole way home...and again we were happily greeted with compliments on our great little traveler while getting off the plane. So nice to hear...that compliment meant more than i ever thought i would! :)

Here are the rest of the pictures from our trip. I was going to journal better about the whole trip,but i want to get the pictures up for now, and am not in the mood to write anymore. Opps! :)

Boy-ish-ness at its fullest

We all know boys are dirty, gross, love the outdoors, and all that good stuff....right.
Well yesterday Kyler made sure I knew that he is all boy by:

Here is the story behind this picture just to help explain it....
Last night we went over to Brandons parents house to help get the yard ready for the wedding this weekend. Kyler helped put new gravel down in one part of the backyard, and had a good ol time. Then being the busy boy he is, got tired of helping daddy and came to help mom pick all the tomatoes, but instead of picking them he wanted to get rid of them by eating them

He hate THREE WHOLE tomatoes!! I could not believe it! Then he went to play and every time he leaned over, sat down, he whined and said "owie" Me thinking my good golly he ate 3 tomatoes he has a super full belly and told him he was living the consequences of his own actions...and yes i did tell him that. He didnt appreciate it, but would forget his tummy hurt and would go about his business again, until he would bend over or sit down, say "owie" i would again tell him sorry, but it was your choice to over stuff yourself, and on and on.....
then finally i thought i should loosen his belt, i had forgot he had one on and thought that would help....nope.
So finally (probably 2 hours later) we went in, and i was getting him ready for a bath...took his pants off and rocks came out, thought that was weird, then i took his onesie off and loads of pebbles came out, then i went to take his diaper off and wala....the explanation for all the "owies" and they were real "owies" he had a rash and scratches all over his lower tummy from the rocks. I felt like a horrible mom! Cleaned them out, put him in the tub got him clean and put him in the high chair for dinner....

My night of reminders of boy grossness was not over

After he was done i got him out set him down while i cleaned the high chair and he ran over to grandma. She says "did he spill?" I say "no, dont think so, why?" Ya he was drenched, no not in pee but bad diarrhea....

SICK!! His sleeper bottoms had the feet and no joke the poop had filled the feet part and was filling up the legs!!!! Oh geez I guess that is what happens when a toddler eats too many tomatoes!!!
He got ran to the bathroom and got another bath while mom just about lost her dinner while cleaning out the poopy jammies.

Oh the joys of motherhood and little boys!!! I love him, but seriously could he be anymore disgusting or boy??

yes 3 posts in 2 days....so keep scrolling if you care! :)

16 Months

These posts are actually getting harder...things don't change as drastically as quickly anymore, but here i go anyway

Ky is now..........................
* Finally learning its ok to share mom with the other kids in the house, and his toys
* Loves to color (although i don't know if it is the coloring or the taste testing the different colors)
* Loves having his "Dagee" (say it like it looks) or doggie back home and is all happiness when he gets to go play with her
*He absolutely loves potato chips--if he even sees the bag he is busily signing for more, and please over and over
* He signs lots now. He uses "more", "please", "help", "all done", "food",  occasionally "up" and finally is getting "thank you"
*my mom taught him, "beep, beep" while we were at Lake Powell and says it all day
*has learned to say "bebe" or baby and any child 3 or younger is a baby to him
* He only wants to drink out of a real cup now at dinner time, (much to my dismay) we get serious wet shirts to clean up
*tried to take him to nursery...he screams bloody murder....crap i need to get him away from me a little more often, he is slightly attached. :)
* He now chimes in during prayers to add mommy, daddy, and dagee and occasionally we get a amen (which doesn't sound like amen, but it is the same every time)
*He is the happiest, Handsomest, cutest, busiest, teasinest little boy ya'll ever meet

(picture for this month is actually pictures we got taken at the school,cute huh!)

and if you want to offer any advice to me about traveling with a toddler that is so crazy then go here
