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.

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!)

Enjoy it!
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!

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
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
