Give me a break!!!

Well here we go again...so last night we decided to take our kids up to the temple to walk around. Good idea right? We saw some people we knew and had a family picture taken......
The girls had fun rolling down the hill. I love the hair in these pictures.

This is the best we got of the kids together.
Kenzie took this cute picture right in front of the water fall. Ky thought it looked like a good idea. So he climbed up on the bench, backed up, backed up , and backed up a little more to finally go tumbling backwards right into the waterfall.
I didn't see it happen but luckily Kelly did and raced with Karsyn in his arms to pull him out. I got there just in time to pull him out and prevent Kelly from going in too. A little scarey, but a lot funny!
After Ky settled down the first thing he said was, "I cold." Here he still looks a little stunned.
At the very end Kelly had him happy and ready to wave for the camera. When we got home he kept saying, "I fall water sount cackwards." (water fountain backwards) We have had some pretty good laughs about it, and the girls have actually begun to think Kaylee's fall wasn't so bad either. Good times!!!

Feeding the ducks, falling in ponds, and the shark reef




Yesterday we decided to have some fun with the kids. First we went to sunset park to feed the ducks. We all had a really great time and the ducks were so fun to watch.
Me and my sweet girl Karsyn!
It really was a lovely time, and I was excited for the rest of the day we had planned.
It's funny how crazy the ducks would go over one little piece of bread.
The girls looked so cute and were too excited for the day ahead. As I watched them feed the ducks I would remind them to back away from the edge because for some reason in my mind I felt uneasy about that edge.
Here is Kaylee having a great time all nice and dry.........
......and yes here she is all wet. It all happened so fast, and Kaylee fell in the pond. The ducks scattered as we watched her splash into that nasty water. For a second I thought I might go in after her, but realized the smart thing would be to wait for her to reach for my hand. She did and I pulled her out. She was screaming and so was Kenzie. I'm sure everyone thought we were crazy. As I comforted Kaylee and told her she was ok I quickly mouthed to Kelly to take a picture. This picture makes me laugh with both girls looking so hysterical. Luckily a nice man came over to retrieve Kaylees floating away flip flops that the girls were very worried about. Kelly and I laughed every once in a while remembering the whole thing, and both girls were offended that we thought it was funny. So anyone who read this please don't mention it to them:) They will thank me later to have this memory!
After the fun at the park we came home, gave Kaylee a bath, got her ready , and headed off to eat at ihop. The wait was too long so we went to Denny's. It actually wasn't too bad. The only thing was that Ky somehow fell out of the back of his high chair and landed on the back of his head. Two accidents down, but more fun to go!
Last we went to the shark reef at Mandalay Bay. We all had a great time looking at all the animals. That first picture was a crocadile that Kenzie didn't believe was real. It was floating in the water so still so she kept telling me it wasn't real.
Our one family picture that we managed to get.
Kelly and I loved the jelly fish. They were so neat to watch, and their colors were beautiful!
This is a lion fish....pretty cool looking!
Kaylee's favorite were the sting rays, and Kenzie said she liked everything the best! She wouldn't touch the sting rays though:)
We got to pet the sting rays, and that was really fun. They felt slimy and slippery.
I loved to be together, and be able to watch our kids have such a fun time. There is nothing better than family, and I know that is a day we will all remember.

Karsyn can walk!

Busy Babies......

This little baby (or lady is what I like to call her) is very busy ok! She is on the verge of walking, but not quite yet. But man the girl will crawl all over the place!!! Lately I have been letting her crawl in the back yard and got a few good pictures. She found daddys work boards and loved crawling on them. I think she felt like a big girl.
She loves to stand up to the firetruck. It makes me a little nervous because it rolls easily, and she might roll too one of these times.
Here she is coming down.......
and going back up!

So I have to admit......I have a little crush on my boy!!! Who doesn't? I'm not even kidding when I say he finds girlfriends every where he goes. Jenna, Tracy, Julie, Carla, Pam Picket, Julie Boyer, numerous teenagers....and the list goes on.
Once again, busy at play!!!
Does anyone else want to kiss that face off?
They had so much fun digging in the sand together. Karsyn wanted to eat it a little.
We got Halloween costumes. Kenzie chose the HSM cheerleader. She looked soooo cute when we got home and she tried it on. I was surprised at how cute the costume actually was.
Kaylee chose Gabriella from HSM 3. It's ok, but not as cute as the cheerleader. Kaylee saw how much fun Kenzie was having in her costume, and realized hers was itchy. We are going to take hers back and get her a cheerleading one too. So we'll have our own little squad.
Just a cute picture I got when I babysat for Amanda last week. Two little pink blanky girls with thumbs in their mouths.

I love this time of year!!!

So I finally got the blogging bug again. I am so excited for this time of year. The past couple of days have been awesome weather, and we got our fall/halloween decorations up. I keep telling the girls, "doesn't it make you happy to see our decorations and feel the cool weather? It feels fun in here huh?" They get a little confused at my enthusiasm, but they pretty much agree!
So here are all our fall/halloween touches all over the house.













Ky looooves the pumpkins!







Pumpkins pumpkins everywhere!




This is a cute little haunted mansion my mom gave us last year. My kids love to look at all the little people, but I have it up high so they won't get broken. We have had quite a few broken Christmas village people in our day.



I had to add in this little cutie. She is so fun with that big cheesy smile she likes to give me. Oh and I love her little teeth.


My mom gave her a pile of bubbles while she was doing the dishes. Of course she put them in her mouth, but quickly realized they were not yummy!


Just look at those teeth!!!
My sweet little Kenzie girl! Just one more thing.....My sister Tracy asked me to sing last night at our wards young women in excellence program. I was so nervous because I don't do it very often anymore. I am so grateful for that opportunity because I was able to pray to Heavenly Father and ask him to help me, and give me comfort and peace. He did, and for that I feel so blessed. I know that Heavenly Father is real. He listens to us. He watches over us, and most importantly he loves us.













Ky's bday party!

We had a little family swim party for Ky's birthday. We also had the Iverson's over since Hunter is Ky's BFF. Well we are making them be anyways.
Ky and Hunter. Kim and I were pregnant together, and we had them two weeks apart. So fun!

Oh he was so cute with blowing out candles. He wanted to blow them out over and over. Still to this day when he sees a candle he says, " uh to you candle." ( happy birthday to you candle)



Ky had lots of fun opening his presents. They were all excited to see everything. Especially the dinosaurs!

I just can't blog these days!!!

Why can't I blog right now? Everyday I think I might, and then I don't. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning a little with everyday things. I even try to keep myself not too busy. I can't keep my house clean, keep up on laundry, play with the kids like I want to, oh did I say keep the house clean. Oooooh that bugs me! It doesn't matter how hard I try I feel like it's always a mess. Oh well, whatever, who cares!?! Maybe I just need a better attitude, and I need to remember to bring my camera to fun places. Maybe that will help me get my blogging done!
