Catching Up

Well it's been a few weeks since my last post...I decided it was time that I get on the ball again. Sorry, the holidays are getting me; busy enjoying them rather than posting about them.

My handsome boy:

A few weeks ago we met with Gramma and Grandma/pa Great and had a picnic at Ft. Ogden Park. We took Kyler for a stroll, then he and Gramma swung and went down the slide. He was not feeling well this day, had just had his shots and started on Oatmeal Cereal..not sure which was making him not feel so good.

Last week I had my 32nd Birthday--MY VERY FAVORITE / BEST BIRTHDAY EVER as it is the first birthday for me being a Mommy! My Mom and Papa Pat came down and we all went to my Fav eats--Japanese Steakhouse. Kyler enjoyed the fire and watching the chef cook. He was so good at dinner. There was a couple and her parents that sat with us and they are expecting a little boy February 13th. So they were excited to share the table with lil man.

Kyler intrigued by the fire:


I'm so loved... For my birthday, I came home to a beautiful bouquet of roses from my husband and son; they also gave me a beautiful necklace that has two hearts one with a Ruby stone which is Kyler's birthstone. My mom and Papa Pat got me gift certificates to my Fav massage place--2 hours worth! Yeah ba-by! My brother and his family gave me a Pandora / Trollbeads bracelet with a "Mother" bead. I'm LOVING them all!!



The next day we went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. I left work early to make it in time for dinner and missed Nick Lachey (yes "THE" Nick Lachey) and yes "THE" Vanessa Minnillo who stopped by the office; but that's ok because I was with my loved ones. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside under the carport and enjoyed each other's company. My sis-in-law and I were taking pictures and even managed to get one of us taking a picture of one another.

~~Happy 5th Anniversary T. & T. (they're dynamite!)

Kyler showing off his new outfit for our

upcoming trip:

We woke up Friday morning and even though I was running off of about 3 hours of sleep (my lil man developed his 1st cold and was so congested he couldn't breath), we still managed to go shopping and had a great time. Kyler got to meet Santa Claus and have his picture taken with him. We found some great deals on clothes for our trip coming up; including some winter boots and a the cutest hooded hat with matching mitts for Kyler. He looks so cute with it on, like a lil snow man...who knows, we may even see some snow!! And since lil man is now a big man and too big for his car seat..we bought him a Big Boy car seat. Don't fret, it's a Convertible car seat..which means he is still facing backwards and it ranges for size 5lbs to 100 lbs.

The Boys being silly:

1...2...3... Make a Funny Face.....

Kyler and his cousins had a ball visiting. We took all three for a walk in the wagon and the boys had fun playing and laughing with one another and BBug is such a big helper! She wanted to help feed Kyler his cereal and his bottle and of coarse help change his diaper. She would also help around the house with things including bringing in the groceries. She's getting to be such a big girl. She loves her Baby Kyler! She and I played "make-up" but don't tell her Daddy! I can't wait for the day when we can go get a manicure / pedicure together.

Would have been great had Kyler not been sleeping and

rather looking at the camera:


Buddy Roe was giving Kyler kisses:


Too bad Kyler is hiding or this would have been good!

It was another great weekend with my family.
