Travel Helps

We are taking off in just one week to fly to Vermont for a much needed visit to my brothers and sister-in-laws. This is where you come in handy, what advice do you have for a mom who is traveling with a toddler--a extrememly busy toddler (seriously people at church laugh at us cause he just cannot help it but to be moving, and even say he is defenatly the busiest in the ward, not somthing a mom wants to hear :) )
So besides the cop-out of bennydryl...i really perfer not to needlessly drug my child....bring on the thoughts and your experince on travels with young kiddos....

PLEASE HELP!

Why I Filled The Bathtub Twice. . . . . .

Walked away from the filling bathtub with my little shadow...but he must have faked me out, cause seconds later i hear splashing....i chuckled cause i had a pretty good idea where that sound came from and who was making it.
I walk into the bathroom with my camera in hand and hear a '''oooooo" like 'oh no she found me'.
I have to admit i busted out laughing let him play for a mintue longer, he was having so much fun, he was full of laughs and squeals, which i cannot help but to encourage cause they make my heart sing.
Then we undressed the boy, and drained the tub cause it was full of what was on his fillthy shoes and caught a glimps of what a toddler veiws as sheer freedom :)

Then tried again the right way....

Can i say i love my boy....

I LOVE MY BOY!!

Labor Day Weekend

Can we believe that it is Fall!!?? I honestly cannot be more excited! The only bummer is that now our camping trips have come to a close. No more campfires, no more super dirty little boy, no more fresh goodness mountain air...sad. But, it is fall, and really nothing is better than fall...NOTHING.
This past weekend we went camping with the Childs family and had a really good time. Thanks to a mom who lets us use the tent trailor we didnt freeze. The last night I honestly had to play though my mind what i would do if that wind picked up the tent trailor and threw us. It was slightly freaky! But we had too much fun at the same time.

Ky got to go for his longest 4-wheeler ride yet...he could have earlier except we were afraid of the dang ticket we would be met with for not having a helmet for our little man, so we finally got his helmet and took him for a good 4 hour ride. He loved it. He was all smiles. What a stinkin cute little man we have.  Here are some pictures from our weekend. Look forward to many more cause this weekend we are going boating to Powell and i am sure a picture overload will follow. :)

Family at Blue Lake (beautiful!!)

What We Found This Morning

The other day i was bragging about how smart my 15 month was....i wish i wouldnt have cause i think i am reaping the fruits of that brag.
One such insident was the other day when i had put him to bed with a light jacket on cause he had been super cold all morning and thought he would appriciate the warmth during nap time....nope i came in to get him later and he had taken it off...i thought weird he didn't mean to, it just must have happened while moving in his crib.... nope........................................
cause this morning Brandon found this when he went to get Ky up

Ya the kid had taken his shirt off! I guess no more 2 piece jammers around here!
He is getting big and full of trouble lately!

If You Give a Kyler a Cookie......

He might just eat it while laying on the floor.

This is Kylers new way of eating in the kitchen when he is in his silly mood....which is OFTEN. He is such a charachter and there is never a dull moment around here with him.

Here is a movie of him dancing too just cause it is fun to share his cuteness with others. He can dance much better than this, but i caught the very tail end of his "show-off" mood.
and yes these were done on the same day, like i said he is a goof ball and I just happened to have my camera out this day. It was sometime last week.

15 months

Wow

oh how time doth fly

Its already another month

and i have little to say 

except to say i love my monkey will all my heart

He is growing like a weed,

and learning faster than that.

What happened to that cuddly little baby boy?

He turned into a cuddly little toddler that also

loves to walk, loves to jabber, loves his loud voice and uses it often...even more often in the car, which is less than desirable for others in the car...like mommy and daddy

He loves cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, and really any vegetable i give him...i think he wants to be a vegetarian...he eats hardly any meat, but if it is a fruit or veggie...yummers in his tummers

He now folds his arms and lays his head on the rocking chair for family/Kyler's prayer...love it 

He does all the actions to pat-a-cake and is working on itsy bitsy spider and ram sam sam

He is so friendly, and waves to all he meets

He loves to blow kisses

He loves books

He loves to tease 

He is my happy little boy

All smiles

All Joy

Love. Him. To. Death.

His stats:
weight: 23 lbs 41%
height: 31.3 inches 57%
head: 18.2 inches 23%

Boys Love Cars

This weekend we went to the Wayne County Fair....we had a blast. We went to the derby last night and I really didn't know what to expect with Ky. Last year, mind you he was only 3 months, he screamed the entire time, and we had to leave early. So this year, i didn't know if the loudness would freak him out again or not, but we attempted and scored!!
This little boy L.O.V.E.D it with every fiber of his being. Seriously, he was much more entertaining to watch than even the derby its self. What a darling cute ALL boy, boy i have. I love hims with every fiber of my being. Enjoy the movie of his reaction to the durby!

My Boys lovin the derby

Love this cheesey Boy!!

We were there too...I often forget to take pictures to show we are there with our son! :)

Telling Uncle Quinn what the cars say, "BRUMMMMM" (done with vibrating lips)

Seriously could not resist buying these boots...they are little baby work boots...too cute!!

So intense

Cool stuff!

He Can Be Taught!!

Just now Kyler was sitting on my lap, poking at my face as usual, not being soft in any way shape or form, and i said, "Ky be soft"....now this is somthing we have been trying to teach him for MONTHS and MONTHS. He is such a boy and it full force at everything he does. He slaps your face when he gets excited, he pinches your arm when he is excited or bored. All of these happeneings, which happen 10 times a day merit me or daddy saying, "Ky be soft" and showing him how to be soft by softly rubbing our faces.
Well, back to my story, today while poking my ear and laughing i told him to be soft and like magic, for the first time ever, he stopped and caressed my face like we have showed him a million times.
Wala children do catch on to what you teach...happy moment!

Here is a cute picture of him from yesterday to go along with a post....cause no one likes a pictureless post!
