Christmas Break!

Christmas Break is coming soon. I'll be done tomorrow at noon.

Ty has been busy undecorating the Christmas Tree, trying to eat ornaments and walking!

We're moving a bunch of stuff to Payson this weekend. I'm not so sure how I feel about it. I love Logan. I love my students and I love Cache Valley. I love Utah State. I love our friends up here. I love Lee's Marketplace. I love Gossner's Cheese Plant. I love walking around the blockI love Porcupine Reservoir. I love, well, almost everything... The only thing I don't love about this place is my TINY house and of course scraping my windshield every morning.

We're beginning a new adventure. Who knows what we'll encounter.

NFR

We went to the NFR in Las Vegas. It was a blast!

Go Kaycee Go!

Bountiful Baskets

So we decided to jump on the bandwagon and buy a Bountiful Basket. We loved it. In fact, we've almost ate the entire thing. Who knew these....umm.... things could be so good? I don't even know what they are!

Ty Turns 1!

Ty Turned 1! Just tonight he took his first steps. I can't believe my baby is growing up so quickly. We had a costume party for him and he loved his cake.

Ty was an elephant and kept trying to grab the flame on his candle.

Ty loved helping us carve pumpkins this year. He ate pumpkin guts and scattered seeds everywhere.

We have a good friend who dresses up as a mean witch every year for Halloween. In fact, she scared me last year right before I went into labor. I wanted to get Ty's picture with her. He ignored her for the first little while (wouldn't even look at her) and then he started crying. My camera ran out of batteries so I couldn't get a teary picture.

The Cache Valley Pumpkin Walk is a big deal every year here in Logan. Basically there are a bunch of booths made out of pumpkins. We went this year during the first blizzard of the year. We bundled up and braved the storm.

There was a cute Toy Story booth.

Ty was a happy little dude.

Virgil and Sharon (Ty's Grandparents) got Ty a miniature horse for his birthday. His name is Tex and Ty loves him. He pokes him in the eyes, pulls his hair and lays on him. Tex loves Ty too. He doesn't really like big people because he's so small. He loves little kids though.

Ty got to hang out with Cousin Brix. We don't get to see him very much because he lives in California. Hopefully, they'll move here soon. :)

We have swings in our backyard. Ty loves them. He giggles and giggles and cries when I take him back to the house.

We are moving to Spanish Fork in January. I told Logan High that I'm leaving and I'm a little sad about it. Andy will be student teaching at Salem Hills High School and I may be able to get a job somewhere around there. Someday, I will be a stay-at-home-mom. It makes me sad to think that Ty is already one and I've worked his whole first year of life.

Adventures

Black's Fork 2010

It was a little cold.

2 Teeth and Counting.

We've been on lots of crazy adventures the past couple months. We've also been trying to go to school and work on a regular basis (sometimes it's difficult) and Ty has just been trying to grow teeth, crawl super fast, eat nickles and stand up against things.

I drew a bull elk tag this year and.... I got one! With only one horn :) But I'm still proud.

I got so excited I just shot the first one I saw. :)

Andy recently finished the cutest kid saddle. I wish we could have kept it for Ty.

Ty learned to feed himself.

We rafted a waterfall in Lava Hot Springs. I didn't believe it was possible until we did it.

My Brother and Andy caught a bunch of Crawdads in Strawberry Reservoir. Then, we cooked them up and ate them. They tasted like lobster.

We went fishing and caught a GIANT fish. My sister-in-law, Kellie, actually won 9th place in a contest and got a $50 Sportsman's Warehouse Giftcard for the fish she caught.

This weekend we're going to hike the Wellsville Mountains. Anyone want to come?

Hope you're all having crazy adventures!

Now, we're packing our bags for one more trip before we both start school in Logan again. This time, we're headed to the mountains.

Hope you're all doing well.

7 Months

Ty is 7 months old today. (wow, time flies) He came home the other day with Andy and matching (kinda matching) shirts. He eats everything from green beans to applesauce and he's usually a happy little dude.

Andy is moving to St. George tomorrow and I'm going down Friday. Five more days until summer for me. Yay!

Nothing too exciting has been happening. I made a chocolate cake today (and it's awesome). My cakes from scratch have never been perfected until now. Yum.

We're attempting to clean our house and organize before we go to Sunny St. George but... I've been sick. I've had a sinus infection for 3 months and I'm going on my 3rd course of antibiotics. It better work this time....




Here's a cute picture of our cute little cowboy. I love this kid.




Cute boys!
