Little Thoughts Through The Day

For some reason this year, I am getting really excited about the Holiday season. I want to decorate for Christmas already and I want to listen to Christmas music. I know I am crazy, but I am totally excited this year. We get to go down to San Diego for Thanksgiving this year and that will be nice. My side of the family has not seen Kiyah in almost a year. Most of them did not get a chance to see her when we went down in June. We are going to get to stay for over a week and we are flying this time. Hurray!!!!!! We will never want to go back to driving. An hour and 45 minutes versus a 12 hour drive split up going down and straight through coming back. Last year it tooks up 12 hours just to get to Cedar City!!! I love air travel.
Kiyah went into nursery this last week. She loved playing with the toys and all the kids. Poor thing though, she was so tired and started to get a fever, so she did not make it all the way through. It is going to be rough for the rest of the year with her. We have 1:00 church and that is her nap time. But next year we go to 9:00. Good for her, bad for us with a new born. Oh well. Life goes on.

My Little Girl

Our baby girl is 18 months old. Off to NURSERY!!!!! Yeah! 4 months of freedom until the next crying child comes. Kiyah is doing so well. We had her 18 month check up this last week and her doctor said that he has never had a patient so welcome to strangers. But I am sure he says that about a lot of patients. Anyway, she did the cutest thing, one of those I wish I had a camera moments. We were waiting for him to come in after the nurse left and I handed her a tongue depressor to play with. She took it and walked over to the step to get on the exam table, sat down, and started filing her nails. What a GIRL!!!! It was so cute though. Then the doctor walked in and was surprised that she figured since it was the same shape it must be the same thing. He was even more surprised when she had her blood drawn to see if she was anemic, she did not cry once. She was content with the eraser soccer ball that he had just given her. What made it hard for me was that they had to do a finger stick test because they could not find a good vein in her arm. So they sat there squeezing the blood one drop at a time from her finger to fill up the tube. What a brave little girl. Other than that she is going great. She talks all the time and points out everything that she knows. She will see a tiny picture of a dog or a ball and she will point to it and say the word. She is growing up so fast. I miss the small stages, but I guess that is why you have more. Right?!?

Fishing Heaven

We started bright and early

Kiyah cruised everywhere, getting as dirty as she could

She even caught her very first fish and named him, she kept saying Bruce when we showed her the fish.

This was Ryan's 4th catch.

Here is the line up. Bruce is on top, one of Ryan's and my last catch was the Albino. It was definitely a good day for fishing. I caught three, Bruce was mine, but I let Kiyah help me bring him in.

Weekend Get Away

Arriving at the camp ground

This is her new face, it is hard to see but she puts this shocked look on her face when she does something funny or finds something she was looking for.

Nice clear camp ground. All I have to say is Burr! It was so cold that night. We all ended up sleeping on the same air mattress.

Say Hi.

She got a hold of Ryan's keys and tried opening the door. First she went to the back door but there was no key hole, so she went up to the front door. When she could not get the key in she came back to the fire and said her new phrase, " It's Stuck".

Kennecott Mine

The

"Adams" kids went and spent some time up at the Mine's visitors center. It actually took us several attempts to take a picture with Kiyah holding still.

Hanging with The Boys

We went to see some cool cars

The Discount Tire Car

Swinging and having a blast

Could she be any more happy?

IT'S A BOY!! !!!!

Too Adorable

Kiyah and Kyler. Born 3 weeks apart. Kyler is the son of Andrew and Emily, good friends of ours. We went boating with them a couple of weeks ago and had such a great time. The water was not that good, and we unfortunetly hit a rock with the boat.....Oopps. But it was nice to hang out together and let the kids play. I thought it was just a cute picture having them sitting there on the edge of the boat both in their life jackets.

Avid Learner

Kiyah actually took these books over to this chair that she loves to sit in and climbed up and started "reading". Once she flipped through both books she got down and went to do something else. At least she is trying right?!?

4TH of JULY

Kiyah with Chase
Waiting for the fireworks
The kids playing baseball

We of course went to Sugar House Park. Kiyah again loved the fireworks and was not scared by them. The wind picked up a little during the show and we started getting rained on by firework remnents. The kids starting collecting them to see who had the biggest one.

The Memory Post

1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is the most memorable for you.

2. Next, if you feel so inclined, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you...!

3. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. ☺ And please do this on your page, too, so we can all share in the fun times together. :)

Sliding Fun

Who says this is a laundry basket? Ian was pushing Kiyah up and down the hall way. She was having so much fun doing this. She still goes up to the basket and takes everything out and wants to go down the hall again.

Family Time

My aunt and uncle were up from Arizona and we had a quick visit. For those who do not know the people in the picture, to my right is my Aunt Judy and Uncle Dave, my dad's brother. To Ryan's left is my sister in law Jackie and brother Brandon. Infront of Ryan is Ian and Brandon's boys. Oldest is Jordan, then Aidan, and youngest is Noah.

Brave Girl

We went fishing up at Strawberry Reservoir and there were a ton of little frogs. Kiyah held one for a little while, then it started jumping and she was done. Ian was there too and he wouldn't even try to hold it. He would just shake his head and hands and not want it.

So Adorable

This was too cute. I was working and came in because I couldn't hear anything from Kiyah. Then I found them both sleeping on the bed. I could not pass up the picture of both of them turned toward each other and sleeping in the middle of the day. Ryan got upset because I woke him up. Oh well.

Graduation Lunch In

I left my camera at home for his graduation, but this is the lunch in afterwards. He loves holding Kiyah all the time.
