Labor Day Fun

Our friends invited us to go to a park for some labor day fun. I have only been to this particular park twice and I knew they had a fountain. When we got there Kayl ran straight for it and never looked back.

This one is my favorite of them all. He is just too cute.

Even when he got cold he didn't want to leave, but being the "mean" mom that I am, I made him get out and get dry. It was fun to play at the park with our friends.

Congrats on the New Baby!!

Our friends Dan and Miako have had a boy named Talon today. We went and saw them and now I want another one. Don't worry I'll wait. Kayl had fun playing with their other son Landon. I am so glad that Kayl has a friend to play with.

Mike's Back!!!

Last week our friend Mike came home from Iraq. He came to Utha this week to visit his family and friends. So, last night I get a call from Tiffany and she invited Todd and I to a bonfire up the Canyon to welcome him home. At first we didn't know if we could find a babysitter in time but thankfully Sarah was willing to babysit him. Thank you Sarah and Mom, sorry Kayl cried the entire time.
When we got to the canyon we were the first ones at the park so Todd decided it would be funny to run around. When he saw Mike and Tiffs car he ran out in the middle of the road to meet them. I know I have a strange husband.
We unloaded their car and started the fire. We made Smores, told stories, and had some great laughs. Mike and Tiff are only here for the week and I will be sad when they go back to California. Tiffany is my bestfriend in the entire world and it is so hard when she is gone because I have no girlfriends to hang out with. Oh, Well! In the end we had a blast and ope that we can see them more while they are here.

Camping

Todd and I love camping! The only problem is that I'm too scared to take Kayl with me because I know he will cry all night. Thankfully we have Wendy and Logan who are always willing to babysit him for us. So, we dropped Kayl off after the Summerfest at Wendy's house and headed up to Hope Campground with our friend Shawn. We got there around 4:30 and set everything up. Todd found a hatchet in the trunk and he brought it out. Needless to say I was entertained for about 4 hours with it. While we were eating our bunless hamburgers (Shawn forgot the buns at home) a deer wandered into our campsite. Again, Todd being the amazing man I love, whipped out the camera and started taking pictures. After the deer wandered off Tod and Shawn went on a walk to see if Shawn could get service on his phone. I was left back at camp to be bored out of my mind. Thankfully I had a hatchet! When Todd and Shawn came back, Todd showed me some pretty pictures he had taken. After another hour it got dark and we started to play with fire. We were attracting moths like mad. Todd, again, whipped his camera out and started to take pictures of a really big moth that had hit his head on the propane lamp and just sat on our table. Even in the morning in was still there, I gave him a great funeral.


This is Bob!
He died here at 8 a.m.

Broken Bones and Late Night Walks

Today, Todd called me to inform me that he had dropped a manhole lid on his finger. At first I laughed at him cause I thought it was funny but then I thought about it again and I told him to be careful and to come home on time.
When he got home I examined the finger and noticed that it was really swelling up. I was going to take him to the hospital when I remembered that doctors can't do very much for a broken finger. Just like they can't do very much for a broken toe seeing since I have borken all my toes at one point in my life.
We went to Macey's and got a finger splint. I splinted his finger and told him to not use it very much.
When we were coming home from Macey's Kayl decided to have an outburst. It was only half an hour past his normal bedtime but lately he hasn't being doing anything normal. He hasn't been going to bed on time or taking his regular naps everything is different.
At about 10:45 I got fed up with him crying so i told Todd that we were going on a walk. We got Kayl dressed again because he had just taken a bath and we put him in the stroller and went on a 45 min walk.
When we got home, Todd took Kayl out of his stroller and cuddled with him a little then he gently laid him down in his crib and now he is fast asleep. Maybe we have to do walks more often with him. Now maybe we can get some sleep. Yeah Right!

Reunion and Swing Time Fun!!

Today was Todd's 5 Year High School Reunion. It was fun to go and see a lot of his old friends. When we were there we decided it was time to try the swings out with Kayl. He had a blast until we stopped pushing him then he got mad. Here is our lovely adventure!!

To Move or not To Move?

That is the question.

Yesterday Todds best friend Tyson asked Todd if he wanted to move down to St. George with him. Todd called me and asked me what I thought. I think that it is a great idea but we are sad that we will be leaving our friends and family.

The reason we will be moving is Todds job. Tyson was asked if he wants to be the manager over St. George, but Tyson doesn't want to go there by himself so that is why he asked Todd and I. Tyson wants to but a house down there and let us live with him.

I really want to and so does Todd so today Tyson is coming over and we are going to look at houses together and see what it in his price range. Todd and I think that this is the best opportunity for us and we will take it.

Note: We will miss everyone up here but I will keep my blog updated and we'll come up for christmas and thanksgiving. But, you will all have to come down to St. George for Kayl's birthday. We love you all!!!

Found!!

After 6 years of searching I have finally reconnected with my best friend Adam Hoard.

I had been searching in every phone book and everywhere I could think of online and I finally found him.

It was Friday and I was on my Myspace page. I got bored and just decided to type his name into the search engine for Myspace, and low and behold he had a myspace page and he was online at the time I requested him as a friend.

I left the page for 2 min. to check my Facebook and by the time I got back to my Myspace he had accepted my friend request and we were finally reunited.

I don't know why I never thought of typing his name in Myspace before and now I'm really glad I did!!

HALO Night

So, every Thursday Todd and I host a HALO night in our apartment. Tyson and Shawn are the two people who always who come and every so often we get others coming over.

I sometimes get roped into playing. I will only play if I'm on Tyson's team for capture the flag. Which is the game that I am the best at.

So every Thursday I get to eat pizza and drink soda and play HALO.

Wow, I really have no life! LOL!!

And Kayl sleeps through it all!

Can I make a cake and eat it too?

Well, I decided to spoil Todd when he asked me to make him brownies. He and Tyson were watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so I snuck into the kitchen to make Todd his "brownies" and 40 mins later Todd freaked out because he thought I left the house. I heard him calling my name and I was laughing to myself cause I was so sneaky.

"Honey, where are you? I smell brownies but I can't find them."

"Oh, I didn't make brownies."

"Huh? Why does it smell like it?"

"I only made the best cake in the world. My moms Texas Sheet Cake!! Yum Yum"

I then brought him and Tyson a piece.

"I'm never having brownies again" Todd exclaimed.

"Todd, where did you find this woman? I want a woman who loves me and will make me really good cake!" Tyson asked.

He he he I thought to myself I love my husband. If you didn't guess already when I married Todd I kind of inherited Tyson. But I love him, if anyone out there is single Tyson is looking for someone.

In the end, Todd never wants brownies again. Thanks mom for the recipe.

Yummy Yummy Cake!!!
