Easter pictures

We took a new grandkids picture for my parents!  The last one we took didn't come out.  I don't remember if I posted it on here or not.  Here's the new one

Serious picture

Funny picture ( I love how a silly face for little kids is to stick your tongue out )

This was our horrible one from Thanksgiving YIKES!

Here is Tyler and Noah.  Tyler LOVES his cousin Noah

And her is Miss Kayla with her new Dora hat

I love her hat on her and lucky for me, she loves it too.  :)  She should since she picked it out.  More pictures to come when I have some more time.  And when I don't have plastic cups taped over my eyes.  haha

Play Ground Fun

When we go to Papa and Nana's house in Cedar City, Tyler always has to go across the street the the play ground.  He loves that play ground.  This last trip when we got there it was SO windy!  Kayla was having a ball on the swings!

And back in St. George Tyler and grandma had fun reading together on the bed

Trying to catch up since we are IN Utah again and I never got all the pictures up from last time. Hopefully later on I can get some more up!

St. George Dirt

What is it about red dirt that makes it more desirable?  All of the kids when they get to grandma's house in St. George Utah want to rub their hands in the dirt.  Kayla got outside and couldn't wait to run her hands in it.  And her legs and whatever else she could.

She had a ball! Oh and by the way she STILL has red on her socks when I take them off of her feet from her shoes getting dirt in them and this was almost 2 weeks ago!  Gotta love the red dirt!!!

A Quick Conversation

I caught the glimps of a quick conversation that I am SO glad I didn't miss.  Yesterday we were having an okay day.  A little bit of yelling ( on my part and Tyler's ) but it was a fairly normal day.  NOt too crazy and not to wonderful.  The kids don't play together.  Kayla constantly tries to play with Tyler and he yells at her, rips things out of her hands and tells he NO!  It's very frustrating and annoying.  I constantly have to tell him he is NOT in charge and he can NOT tell Kayla no.  It goes in one ear and out the other.

Yesterday however, they were playing together!  Not only were they playing together but they were having SO much fun!  Kayla was chasing Tyler and he'd squeal and shriek and say "No don't get me" and she'd growl and laugh while she chased him all over the living room.  It was so nice to hear and see.  Immidately after this it was nap time.  We brushed teeth and then were sitting on Tyler's bed reading a story.  Kayla crawled on the bed with us and kissed TYler on the arm and said, "You're my best friend"  It melted my heart because no one provoked it and she is only TWO!  It amazed me that she even understood what she was saying and doing.  Then I said, "Tyler did you hear that?  Kayla said you are her best friend."  To which he replied.  "awwwww Thank you Kayla.  I love you."  Then he paused and said, "Now you say that you love me"  and she said, "I love you too Tyty!"  It totally melted my heart.  Then Tyler went even further to say. "Mom, I don't even care if she plays with all of my toys now!"  I guess it melted his heart too.

Too bad he didn't remember that today because I can't get him to give her a break!  Oh well....it was good the whole 5 minutes it lasted and gave me a wonderful memory it keep with me always.

Crazy Kayla

Kayla is my girl!  I freaking love her.  I took this picture of her last night drinking her baba before bed time on Daddy ( her favorite spot to drink her baba before bed! )

Makes me laugh every time!  She is soooooooooooo much like her Aunt Kimmie it's SCARY!  haha

Good Day

We had a good day yesterday.  The day before was awful.  Glad yesterday was better.  It was better partly because I TRIED more.  I knew I did NOT want to yell and be impatient again.  I am sure the kids didn't either.  We got dressed and went to the play ground.  We for SURE need to be getting way more vitamin D.  Studies show that depression is HIGH in areas like NOrthern Utah where they don't see the sun for too many days in a row.  Ours bodies NEED vitamin D to survive and thrive.  The last couple of days we have gotten a little here and there and I truly think it makes all the difference.

OKay enough rambling.  Here are some pictures from the play ground trip.  Tyler decided to be my little model.  WHich is odd.  Usually he is too busy to stop and pose but this particular day he decided to play along.  So glad he did.

I got a couple of Miss Kayla as well.  Don't let the cute face fool you.  She is s STINKER!  BUt she is a CUTE stinker and believe me it helps a LOT!  haha

I had one or two of them together but apparently I didn't save those ones yet!  haha Oh well.

You know I have been thinking about how I used to update our blog daily and sometimes more then once a day!  Now it's once MAYBE twice a week.  The culprit?  Well other then the fact that I have two kids now instead of one, we moved and have no lives!  haha  Seriously though.  If I was still posting once or sometimes even twice a day I have NO IDEA what I would be blogging about!  SERIOUSLY. Maybe showing you pictures about the mess Kayla made.  She is a tornado or destruction!  She can NOT stand to have the floor showing.  Yesterday I was brushing my teeth in our bathroom so I was in there for 3 minutes TOPS and she brought me a bag of fake coins, opened them up, threw them all over my bathroom floor and then left.  Grrrrrrrr

OKay I need to go for now but I will update when we ACTUALLY have stuff to update about.

Pretties

Kayla has such pretty hair.  She goes back and forth between liking to wear things in her hair to pulling them out two seconds after I put them in.  For some reason this last week or so she has been bringing me her bag of hair things, other wise known as "pretties".    One day last week she brought me Boots and Dora and said, "Pretties momma."  She then handed me her bag of pretties and said, "PEEEEEASE"  Those are the magic words.  So mommy did what ANY mommy would do and put pretties in everyone's hair.

Later that day she brought me ALL of the things she put on her bed to sleep with.  Kayla, Boots, Dora, Bolt, Buzz and all 4 snuggies.  YUP!  She sleeps with a lot of things.  :)

Last week while Tyler and I were sick her and daddy were trying to entertain themselves.  Kayla got out all of her pretties and her and daddy had some fun!  Kayla even got daddy to wear one.

He pretended to cry when I took the picture but I think it just made it that much more funny!  haha  Here is Kayla with a BUNCH of them in her hair

And here is Kayla and Daddy together

Very pretty!
