Matching Skirts!

 I had mentioned earlier that mo u mom had made the girls matching skirts!!  Kambree was so excited! She always wants to match Kaizley!  Here they are on Sunday before church!!  They look so cute in their matching outfits! 

2nd Grade

Kyron had his first day of school this week.  He was excited to go back. We were all ready to be back into the school schedule!!  I just can't believe I have a second grader!!

Kaizleys Party!!

We celebrated Kaizleys birthday on Sunday.  We had everybody over for dinner and cake and presents!!  It is always fun to get everybody together!!  Kaizley got spoiled as always. she had fun, just loves being in the center of attention!!

 My mom made Kaizley a matching skirt to the one she made for Kambree!!  Kambree was so excited!!  Kaizley left to go see her dad!!  She really didn't care!  She got lots of clothes!!

inspecting her hippo that sings.  so cute!

Looking at more clothes!

We got her her very own little cake to eat while I made this Heaven and Hell cake!!  It was enormous and delicious!!!  Check back to my Hungary blog for the recipe!!

 She loved looking at it but was pretty timid about eating it!!  I gave her a spoon and that seemed to help!

 Dig in!!

 I think she likes it!!

We just let her pick at if for a good half hour!!  She was a pretty messy girl by the end!!

I forgot to give her stats, so here they are:

weight: 22 lbs 4 oz 71%

height: 30 in 78%

head: 46 1/2 cm 86%

Kaizley turns 1!!!

 The kids holding their new baby sister!!

 hours after she was born

 I can't believe that she is already one!  It has gone by so fast!!  She is such a good baby!  She sleeps good, she eats good and she loves most things.  So far the only thing that she really doesn't like is carrots. She hate baby food now and wants to feed herself!!  She is so happy.  She laughs all the time.  She scrunches up her face and nose and makes the funniest noise!!  She is walking, but still prefers to crawl, she is a really fast crawler!!  She says "mom" "dad" and has said grandpa and grandma and maybe Wes!  She loves to do the "ET finger", she gives high five and great kisses!!  (but usually just to mom)

 She has a very silly personality...she is going to be a tease. She loves to follow around her siblings and loves playing in the bathrooms!!! 

We are so glad she is part of our family!!  We love her so much!!

Ky's passion...

Kyron spent the last week at art camp.  a lady in our ward who is a art teacher put it on!!  He loved it!  He has always loved to draw and do artist things! I think it was one of the highlights of his summer!!  Not to brag but she said he has a lot of raw talent!!  Everyday he would come home with his cool projects!

 They did cake decorating.  This is his dog!

 they molded clay.  this is his tongue man.  not really sure what he called it!

 they learned how to water color, these are two of his pictures!

 this is his mug that he mad our of clay!!

 they did drawing.  these are two of his pictures.  he loves drawing dragons!

Lake Powell 2011 (tons of pic)

Lake Powell this year was amazing... like every year!!  I LOVE going to Powell we all look forward to this trip all year long!!  Here are a ton  
(we took over 3000 pictures, thanks to Cody and his amazing camera and skills) of pictures!  So here are a lot but not all!!!

Every morning we got up early to ski!  then we would come home and eat and take a nap.  It was so easy to get up around 6:15 to ski!!!

Jamie and Me

 Cody and Brian

 

Benjee and My Dad

Every year all the boys try to sink the wave runner.  It is pretty funny to watch they never can quit get it but the put in a good effort!!

 Here is Darce taking a joy ride on the back of the Wave Runner!! 

We love to surf...we love to see how many people we can put on the surf board.  We weren't so good at it!!  Only Wes and Jamie could stay on for a long period of time!!

 Me

 Darce and Brian

 Brian and Cody

 Wes and Jamie

 James and I decided to try the whole stand on the surf board and kiss trick...we couldn't do it!  We kept falling over!!

When Reed isn't around and Wes wants to play I become the official driver.  I am all business when I drive!!

 the Wednesday of Powell was Kambree's 1st birthday - i know what kind of parents are we?  Well to celebrate the butter cream gang aka the boys jumped off a cliff all together after they wished her a happy birthday!!

We like to Sky Ski/Air Chair whatever you want to call it.  The truth is we like to so it kind of what we really like is to watch Wes beat the crap out of himself while trying to land a flip!  We did this a lot!  He is so close.  He landed it a few time but couldn't keep up!  He will get it!  We saw another guy do it and it was awesome!  So Wes is learning!!

Poor Wes in the name of being awesome he sure got a sore body!!  But it looked cool!

 We hiked up the sand dunes...here is all of us that went up.  It was hard work!
 Here are some pic of us all coming down!

 Here is my dad watching us all in the water!!  Love the belly shirt!!

since we had our own personal photographer (Check him out here) with us we got a family picture on the ski boat!!  I think it turned out cute!  He is going to sharpen up the colors but it is going to make a great Christmas card for my mom!

 Our famous foot picture!
Every year everybody gets their toes painted and a foot rub!!  And I mean everybody!!
