I cant even express in words how much I adore this little boy!! He is everything I could hope for!! smart, handsome, kind, good, clever, caring, adventurous, compassionate, polite, energetic, loyal, sporty, and everything in~between.

Here are some random snaps of my little Kyle.....


He writes me little love notes.... how sweet!!

















some of kyle's 7th birthday party, you might have to tip your head to the side! :)

my little pumpkins.......

We started the festivities at the school fall festival, we played games it was a lot of fun. Kyle asked to go round the stalls with his 2 little friends from his class, I let him go. I felt mixed emotions seeing him act soo grown up! I would keep a sneeky eye on him from a distance, but wanted him to feel the pride of his new-found independence.

The children had lots of fun this year at our ward trunk or treat! Then they also got to go to their cousin's ward trunk or treat! We kept recycling candy, but it seemed to keep multiplying. Finally we went to our friend sonja's house for a wonderful halloween party, it was perfect! We came home and went trick or treating our neighborhood. The kids had soo much fun!!!




If only I could turn american candy into british chocolate!!!

"meat market"

I was at Fry's supermarket casually doing my grocery shopping with my dear friend Mayte. We went our separate ways in the dairy aisle. I made my way over to the meat counter as I envisioned a nice sunday roast dinner! It was then that I began making conversation with a man. I asked his opinion on which of the meat joints would make a better roast. The man piped up energetically about the type of roast I should be looking for. He then started asking members of staff on my behalf for this certain kind of beef joint that he was clearly passionate about!! He then went running down the aisle looking for this perfectly packaged roast for me. I thought he was very friendly and helpful. When he came back over to where I was standing, a guy came over and asked for a picture with him. I was confused and asked my "new best friend" if they knew each other, and he answered that he did not!! I was even more confused, and then he said.. "I am DMX!!" "EH? you are who??" I asked (verging on rudely) and he answered.. "I am a rapper!!" Noticing he was wearing a mcdonald's badge I challenged him.... "NA, you work in mcdonalds!!" and he said.. "honestly I am dmx, I collect badges) soo I started screaming for mayte (afraid that she was missing a once in a lifetime experience) anyway sooo we met DMX at Fry's meat counter. I will post a picture as soon as I get it off mayte's phone!!
