Happy Birthday to Kyle..............



Today is my baby's birthday! I can't believe he is 4 years old!!! He has been overly excited about his birthday for several months, and has asked me (almost daily) when his "guest-es" are coming? I have had to answer him saying they would not be arriving for 2 months!!! The next day he would ask... "is it 2 months yet?" It has been a long wait for all of us!!! but finally it has arrived and we made sure to have loads of fun!!!


We invited 2 of kyles cousins and his special friend sammy (who is only known by her full name!!!



They took a trip to the park


p.s the only way to control 5 toddlers, is to treat them like dogs!!






cake!!! (please notice my first ever attempt at cake decorating!)








car races!! (we dont really know how to entertain girls at my house!)


silly faces!!





presents............





hide and seek.............











Then they ate pizza and watched a video with popcorn! (no pics)




and then........... the big party started!! All the family came to our house and celebrated our little kyle!! He was soo excited to see soo many people, and soo many pressies!! Happy Birthday precious Kyle we love you!! xxxx
P.S Kyle went cold "turkey" on giving up his "dummy" (pacifier) tonight! so far so good! (yep I know he is way too old)

trunk or treat


Ok it has been a rough week for us, and I have been spending much time cleaning up large quantities of snot, vomit and diahorea. We didnt think we would get to celebrate halloween this year, but last night everyone seemed to be feeling better, so we went to our old wards trunk or treat! It was sooo much fun, and it was lovely to see all my old pals from pecos park! Kyle was an adorable pirate, and brody was a cute little cowboy! I was a fairy and mark....... well.... something happened to him when he tried on that wig! I think he enjoys the unusual feeling of hair on his head!!

yep its another one from kyle..................

Ok I can't sleep until I record this one, as I might forget this in the morning.
We had quite a busy afternoon today which began at the doctors office, Kyle took a drink from the water fountain and completely soaked his t'shirt, so he took it off. We went to see Julia next, Kyle walked in with his manly exposed chest and played for a few minutes before needing to go to the bathroom. I followed him in there only to find a pair of damp transformer underpants on the floor and his jeans back on! I asked him what happened and he said "a little bit just "camed "out!!" I felt the jeans and they were dry, so off we went to our next stop, which was cheryls house. He played downstairs for quite a while, and when I went down to check on him he was completely starkers! I asked kyle what was going on and he said..." yep it just "camed" out again!!" so I said... "well Kyle now you are totally naked!" to which he responded very matter-of-fact, "No I am not totally naked, I still have my socks on!!!" sure enough, there he was wearing nothing but a red pair of socks and a cheeky smile!!!!!

utah trip















We just got back from utah this week and we had soo much fun!! We went to see my sister pauline who is serving on temple square. She gave us a tour, Kyle was very fascinated with everything there was to see. I cant believe how grown up Pauline has become and how confident and beautiful she is, I have never been more proud of her!! The weather was very different from Arizona, and it even snowed while we were up there! But it ended out being quite lovely around 55 degrees, we spent alot of time at the park, and we also went bowling which was soo much fun with the boys! seriously I still cant believe how much they both enjoyed it ( my camera was in the car) but they would roll the ball and then, both lie down on their tummies while they watched the ball go down and hit the skittles. It didnt get old for them, and embarrasing as this might be.... I came last! seriously my 2 year old beat me at bowling!!! We got to spend some time with mark grandparents and aunts. all in all it was soo much fun but we were all ready to come home!!


new house

Ok we have moved! We finally have internet and phone! oh my goodness that was torture!! (yep I would make a rubbish pioneer!) so we are home sweet home! I completely forgot how stressful moving is! I am glad to say we are pretty much unpacked and settled. I will add pics of the house later.
The biggest challenge so far, has been trying to help Kyle adjust to his new surroundings. He has not enjoyed this experience one bit! Let me explain.......... We were living in a neighbourhood with one of marks sisters living directly behind us, and one sister living directly across from us! Kyle and his 2 partners in crime (they know who they are) were inseperable. Kyle had quite the little social life, and my phone was constantly ringing with invitations for kyle to go and play with his special cousins. It has been hard for Kyle to move away from his perfect world, and he has sobbed his heart out on many occasions, which breaks my heart. I have heard that his moving was not recieved too well on the other side either!! We have had to drive back and forward to keep the little friends happy! poor little kyle! Brody on the other hand, has had quite the opposite reaction to the move, he has settled in very well, and is especially happy to be living directly across the street from his cousin evelynne (who is only 6 weeks older than him) They have become best friends and go back and forwards to each others house constantly. Poor kyle misses his friends soo badly!! I took him out on a little date to coldstones this morning, so we could hang out, and I have also enrolled him in a preschool by our new house. I know he will make lots of new friends soon, and he will ALWAYS have his wonderful cousins!!!




this pic was taken after the kiss, (I could never catch the actual kiss) but believe me, there was much kissing! I dont know what it is about my boys and their cousins!!!!!

another kyle-ism

kyle: mummy?

me: yes kyle?

kyle: If I pulled my arms off, would it bleed?

me: Yes it really would!

kyle: ok, I wont pull my arms off

me: I am very glad!

war child.............

Today was eventful!! Oh how I don't like eventful days! But it was infact one of those days!! It started well, I was getting ready for a fun birthday lunch for my friend Holly. I love pei wei, and was soo excited for my child free lunch with friends. I dropped off my little men at auntie cheryls house, and they were getting ready to go to the park for a picnic. Kyle was very excited, Brody not too happy I was leaving him, but loves cheryl too. I was on my way! I got to pei weis and we were all sitting down waiting to order when I got a phone call..... The only words I could hear were..." Kyle..... face plant..... stitches!!!" I was out of the restaurant like a flash! I went speeding down the street creating in my mind a horrendous scene including unconscienceness, lots of blood and even an exposed skull (yep my mind is cruel to me), tears flooded my eyes as I imagined my sweet baby crying for me. I continued my race home, hoping not to overtake any police in my crazy state! I arrived at the scene, only to find a rather composed kyle with a mere bandaid on his forehead. I was overcome with relief, it was way more managable than my crazy mind had created! I got in the car with cheryl and we continued on to urgent care, Cheryl assured me that I would not like to see what was under the bandaid, and by the condition of both cheryl and Kyles stained clothing, I took Cheryls word, and decided to try and avoid it if I could. On the way to the doc, Cheryl explained that Kyle had been running ahead with his cousin, and they had fallen into eachother and Kyle had hit his head hard on the kerb! OUCH! We went into the office and Kyle had to be strapped down tightly to keep him completely still. I think this is what scared him the most. He was crying so much I thought my heart was being ripped to shreads. It was horrable feeling so helpless. He kept saying through his sobs..." I just want to go home" It was heartbreaking!!! But I tried to hold myself together so that Kyle could be brave, I had to try and distract him from his discomfort by telling him all his favourite stories, which he kept correcting me on (because apparently I was not telling them right). Anyway, so sweet little Kyle had to get 8 stitches in his forehead. When we left the doctor, Kyle could have asked me to buy him a puppy and I would have done it! It is amazing that when you see your baby so helpless and in pain, how much love you feel for them, I love my little Kyle soo much and am soo grateful that his birthmother made the difficult decision to place him for adoption, and I am even more grateful that she chose mark and I to be this special child's parents, It is an honor, and I need to remember that more often! we love you Kyle, and hope your head feels better soon xxxx

Here is kyle at bathtime, and then all creamed and bandaged up again ready for bed. I still think he could have a career as a model (but I might be biased)

try not to smile when you look at these pics...... its impossable!







yep its true....... we have
scrummy little boys!!!
