Christmas 2011 !

Kaylee's Christmas from Santa

She was so excited!

These are the presents Santa brought for Baby Boy..

And Mommy and Daddy...

I had to put in a picture to remember how "pregnant" I was.

Kaylee opening her baby Ariel, she loves her!

... Santa brought her a bike!

My presents...

Kevin's presents...

She was totally spoiled.. the bonus of not paying full price for anything.

Note to self: Two year olds get tired of opening presents after a while and get bored.

After our 1st Christmas morning as a family, and Sacrament meeting, we went to Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Blaine's house for Christmas.

Kaylee got clothes, a barking Puppy, Stephanie named "Dingo," an Elmo floor puzzle, and a Princess Helment and Bike Bell. She was so excited, she wanted to go home and ride her bike.

She got a tutu, from Papa Randy, of which she loved so much she wore it the entire day. Being in the spirit of Christmas I let her, and it helped that it matched her shirt too!

We stopped at Great Grandma and Grandpa Beazer's house where Kaylee got a talking Picnic set, it is one of her favorite toys, and she plays with it almost daily!

Then we went to Grandma Susan and Papa Jim's house for Christmas.

Waiting to open presents..

Jim and Susan gave us a box of food, filled with some of our favorites.

Kaylee and her best friends, and cousins Hallie and Kylee. Grandma Susan bought them shirts and hats, so naturally they wore those around the rest of the night. So cute!

Kaylee playing with her Picnic set and baby Ariel, a few days after Christmas.

It was one of those moments when you have to run and grab a camera.

These are the cute gifts we got from my mom and sister for the little guy.

And these are the gifts Kaylee got from Family after Christmas morning.

These are gifts that Kevin and I got from family and the things we bought for ourselves. We got a cooler that plugs into our car, (great for traveling with ice cream!) a popcorn popper, My parents gave us emergency heat producing cans, (perfect for our 72 hr kits I'm putting together) I got a mini cupcake maker, and Kevin got a gym pass.

It was a great Christmas and we had a lot of fun spending time with family. The day was very busy and hetic as most Christmas Days are. Last year we had Papa Randy stay with us, and the year before that we were living with my parents. It was such a nice change to wake up and celebrate with our own little family.

We didn't have plans for Christmas Eve so we were able to visit Temple Square with my parents and siblings. We stopped at Village Inn and had delicious food! We saw the Nativity program they have set up there and it was a great way to feel the spirit and get into the right mind set of what Christmas is really about. It would be an awesome tradition to start!

Halloween 2011

Kevin's parents threw a Halloween party on Monday, October 24th.

Papa Jim got a bunch of pumpkins for the kids to decorate.

Kaylee was really careful to make sure she got one she liked.

She loves pumpkins and I love her!

Here is Kaylee working hard putting her stickers on.

And eating her cupcake, after we had some fun Halloween themed dinner items.

Yum!

Kev and I went away for the weekend. When we got back Sunday, and we carved our pumpkins with Kaylee. I always make this a tradition, Kevin fights it every year, and I tell him we are going to to do it every year so he better get use to it! He always does such a great job.

Kaylee lost interest soon after we cut the pumpkins open.

We got her to sit and color for a while.

Happy Halloween!

I thought about Kaylee eating Pop Its, "Pop Tarts" while we were on vacation.

So I made her some for breakfast.

I braided her hair, she needed it pulled back for her costume. So even though it turned out super cute, I knew it would be covered and messed up soon enough!

We went to Lee's Marketplace for trick or treating. Kaylee got candy, a cheese stick, strawberry milk, and a bag of carrots. We went to Macey's to see my mom and got more candy.

Elective Ultrasound 16 Weeks

Our baby 16 weeks and 3 days.

We got to see our little baby today! Because our doctor only provides two ultrasounds, I convinced Kevin to let us go to Accuscan, at the Gateway. I LOVED it there!

The Tech was so nice, she took her time, gave us a ton of pictures, she even asked us if we had seen everything we wanted.

She switched it over and we got to watch our baby in 4D for no extra charge. It was so amazing! We could see our little baby moving its arm around.

I love looking at the little hand, you can even see the thumb. Kinda creepy that you can see the brain but still so cute!

Love Love Accuscan!

This was the best profile we could get. Baby was sitting up :)

*We were able to find out our baby's sex as well. Both our babies like to spread their legs so we can get a good look. But we only paid for the elective ultrasound so we could find out. We hope to keep it a secret for another month. Until we have our 20 week anatomy scan with our family :) I love knowing and driving everyone crazy!
