Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach!

Nate, Kytavia and I went to Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving weekend and we had such a blast! We went to an awesome show and then had a seafood buffet for thanksgiving dinner. We also did the all night/morning shopping thing that was hilarious. We had the cops called while we were at Walmart waiting in the electronics line because of unruly shoppers. The whole store was gathering around us because a fight was sure to break out. It was my first black friday shopping experience and I will definetely do it again so I can see all the action. I was laughing so hard. You want to see people at their worst, go to Walmart on black friday. Loved it!

Kya is loving Christmas time and it makes us enjoy it even more! She loves to go see all the lights on the houses and always says "Pretty!" She laughs "ho, ho, ho" whenever she sees a santa clause and is now very much into the "Sesus tory" (Jesus story). Nate's mom made a big flip chart of the bible and book of mormon stories and I've been showing her the Christmas story and she loves it. Nursery can't come soon enough! We are heading to Utah on Dec. 20th for two weeks and we are excited to spend the holidays with our fam and friends! We hope we get to see everyone!! Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! This year Kytavia is a lady bug! She loves her little outfit and thinks she looks so pretty! We are excited to take her trick or treating to all the houses in the neighborhood who have dogs. Kya has made friends with all the dogs and their owners so we are going to take her to those houses to do a little trick or treating! Continuing a tradition of Arizona we are going to have our fire pit outside and greet the trick or treaters out there. We decided to dress up this year too! I'll put some pics up later of that! Hope everyone has a spooky night!

Fun New Pics!

This is Kytavia's new potty! We are starting early so hopefully it goes

well. She is learning so much everyday and she knows the sign for

bathroom so we thought,why not? She loves to put her feet in it

though...

Kytavia and her Pooh Bear truck.

She loves to drag this thing around everywhere!

Kya and Dad coloring a picture with her new crayons. She is a

little artist! Not too happy when she gets them taken away for

chewing on them though!


Kya and me painting her

pumpkin for Halloween!

We all went to the Ogeechee Seafood Festival last Saturday

and Kya got to fish and won her first prize, a mini huskey!

She now carts the little puppy with her everywhere! She is

so proud!


You can't see her wounds very

well but the day before she fell twice on gravel (once with

mom in the morning and once with dad in the evening!)and

got road rash all over her poor little face. It was a rough day

but shebounces back fast!

Kytavia and her new shoes!



So the other day I'm in the kitchen starting to cook some

dinner after I put Kya down for a nap. A couple minutes

later here she comes walking out of her bedroom, laughing.

My heart when straight into my stomach, thinking of all these

horrible things even though she was standing right there,

perfectly fine. Upon inspection, Kya broke out of her crib,

hopped down and came out to play! She thought it was the

funniest thing ever! It about gave me a heart attack but

its all part of growing up, right?!

Autumn Time

I can not believe it is already October! We are missing the fall in Utah though, no hunting for us this year. The boys will have to record everything really well so we feel like we got to go! No one camps like my dad! Well everything here in Georgia is going well, the weather is AWESOME, Nate's work is going well and Kytavia loves to go to the office to "help". She is trying out new words everyday but then she won't use them again. It gets me all excited and then...nothing. Her new words are grandma, doin?, ouch, mommy(im tryin to get her to call me mama) Deer is still one of her favorite words! I guess she fits in with the fam! She is signing more and more everyday though, it's the cutest thing ever. She gets so excited when she signs and we understand her! She is a great little dancer too! Nate is lovin work but it gets stressful for him as well so everyone write him little notes on his facebook, he loves that! Im so exicted for fall though so we can take Kya to the pumpkin patches and all the festivals they have here. I hope everyone is enjoying the season and all is well with you and your families!

Summer 08

Well the summer is drawing to a close for most everyone though it still is hotter than... I'm not complaining though I want it to stay hot as long as it can! We had a good summer, lots of things going on with moving and trying to get settled in. My parents came out to watch Kya for a few days while Nate and I went to Puerto Rico for the UA convention. We had a blast on the beach and at all the parties! And my parents loved being with Kya and vice versa! We all had our birthdays in the summer so lots of fun. Fourth of July we went to a festival in Bluffton and watched fireworks and then the next night went down to the riverwalk and hung out and watched the fireworks there. Those fireworks were the best I'd ever seen. They lasted at least forty five minutes! We spent lots of weekends at the beach. It's so much fun to be able to drive to the beach in a half hour and spend the day there. Kya really loves surf and sand! We went to lots of baseball games as well, the Sandgnats are our farm team here. Kytavia loves the mascot, Gnate the gnat, she can't get enough of him. Kytavia and I went to Utah for two weeks in August and had blast! We went to Griff's bday party and Kya got to see some of her cousins. We did lots of swimming and Kya got to hang out with Grandpa ALOT. They became best buds! She loved the museum of all the animals that are hanging in my parents house. She had to touch all the animals noses everyday. It was so cute! We had a great summer and we are looking forward to the fall here...who knows what Georgia will bring!

Kytavia's First Birthday!!

August 26 was Kytavia's first birthday! We celebrated early at Grandma and Grandpa's with a barbeque and cupcakes. On her birthday we had some friends over and had a cook out and then had birthday cake! She loved the icing and made a great mess. We loved every minute of it! She got lots of presents from family and friends. Our trip to Utah was fun, Kya did great on all the plane rides. She entertained the people around us. Kytavia said her first couple words in Utah and of course they were deer, fish and hi. And she also barks like a dog! She is an entertaining baby! Happy First Birthday Kytavia! We love you!

This is Kya's fav drawer and you can see why.

Kya Whistling!

Happy Father's Day!

I can't believe its already Father's Day! This year is haulin'! It was Nate's first Father's Day and he was excited! Kya gave him lots of presents and we all went to the Oatland Island Wildlife Reserve and saw all the animals. It was more for Kya but she loves animals so much! Especially the birds, she whistles at them to come over. Yes, she whistles! Nate is so proud. I caught her on my phone and the video is below! Kya will be walking soon so we are enjoying the last few days before she really grows up. I'm sad, she is so much fun now I don't want her to grow up! Everyone that meets her keeps saying how adventurous she is...I smile and say thanks and think about when that is going to bite me back. We have enjoyed the move to Georgia so far...except for the humidity. Its like suffocating slowly. We go to the beach every weekend though and that makes it bearable! Kya loves the sand and the surf...especially eating the sand. She takes after her grandpa ha ha! This week my parents are coming out to visit and watch Kya while Nate and I go off to Puerto Rico for some fun in the sun. It will be a much needed break on both of our parts and Kya will get spoiled rotten while we are gone. All well what do you do? Happy Father's Day!
