Kay's 5th Birthday

California

So the other day when we were driving up to Nana's house Kaylee says:

Mom, I want to go to California

Me: (Wondering how she even knows what California is) I said oh really how come?

Kay: Because its just really cool there

Me: So why do you think it's really cool there?

Kay: Oh, because I just think I would like it

Me: Well, why would you like it?

Kay: Because they have a hotel there... (You know the song Hotel California :))

She loves hotels and she must have heard that song recently so... there you go it was pretty funny!

That's yucky!

This is pretty funny. Tessa (my little sis for those who don't know) has been hanging out with me a little bit this year. Well one of the first times she came down the boys hadn't seen her for a little while. Tessa was helping me out and reached out for Maverick to help carry him for me or something. Maverick yelled NO! Then looked at me and pointed at Tessa and said That's yucky mom, that's gross! It was really funny.

Kaylee moments

So anyone who knows my daughter, knows that she is hilarious! So I have a couple of fun sayings by her... I should start a blog for Kay moments. That kid cracks me up!

The other day she came up to me and asks... mom, why is God dead? I explained to her that he wasn't and that he lives in heaven and she said, well... why doesnt he speak to us? I explained that he does through the scriptures, prophet and when we pray. She said well how come I don't hear him when I pray? I said well he speaks to you through the holy ghost when you pray. She then said matter of factly... Well mom, I just prayed for forgiveness at the condo because I hit Tessa and I didn't hear the spirit. LOL! What do you day to that?

Then just a minute ago I knew she wanted to ask me something and she came up and said mom, would you mind if you don't say no? Then proceeded to ask me her question... Kids! I tell you what.

Wow! In need of a big update!!!

So its been a few months.... I have been busy with school, kids, daycare and my husband started a business... I say I have some good excuses why I am so behind. Well Ryan and Brandon (his partner) opened up their business in May! Finally it seems like it was taking forever but it is up and running and we have been getting good business. I am finally getting a brake til late August from school I am really excited about that even though I had to finish with two B's :( but they were good grades considering everything that has gone on in my life lately.

For those of you who don't know a little boy that I watched named Aiden who was 9 months old died in May in his sleep at my house. I had to do CPR and everything, it was the worse experience of my life! I couldn't even sleep in my room for a while because that is where I had him. I had laid him down for a nap and was packing Kaylees clothes in her room which is directly above my bedroom, I heard some banging around downstairs and realized Kaylee and Beily were in my room so I ran downstairs a little upset because I knew they were going to wake him up. I shoed them out of my room and went to check on Aiden and he was completely blue. I did CPR until some firemen showed up and they took over and then took him back to the ambulence. When he was gone the police told me that they had a pulse on him but they wouldn't tell me anything else. After having them kick me out of my house and having to talk to investigator while they took pictures of every room and took some items from my house they finally gave me the bad news. I was able to go to the hospital with his parents and say goodbye to him. I have never seen someone die or be dead in front of me and it was the strangest experience of my life, I just couldn't believe he was gone. One minute he was playing with me downstairs and the next he was just gone.

I am grateful for Sara and Andrew and their families and their love for me during this time. I loved Aiden and so did Kaylee and Ryan. He was a part of our family for a short time and in a way Kaylee's little brother. She actually told me that she was going to marry him someday. Kaylee has been confused about the whole ordeal and talks about him almost everyday. Today she said a sweet prayer in which she said Heavenly Father please take care of all the children but please take care of Aiden. She asked me if we could drive to heaven to see Aiden and said that she really misses him and wants to go see him. She was watching as I did CPR on Aiden and I remember her saying oh.. I sure hope Aiden is going to be all right. She loved taking care of him and help him eat and drink his bottle.

Through all of this I am grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that I have that Sara and Andrew will get to be with him again someday and hug him and hold him. What a great day that will be for them.

I have to thank everyone who has been with me through this and for helping me with my kids and giving me support as well. I love you all and I am grateful especially for Ryan and the support he gave me even when he was away from home. I had my friends Deena and Tanner show up right before the investigator told me Aiden was gone and shortly after my mom was there as well. I am glad I didn't have to receive that news while I was all alone. Thank you everyone... I love you.

My straight hair girl

 
 

Kaylee asked me to straighten her hair so I did. She looks so different. She loves it straight because it is a lot longer then when it curls up.

My princess

 


Kaylee likes it when someone takes a picture of her. So one day I let her put on a church outfit and took some pictures of her. She posed all by herself, I didn't tell her what to do she just did it. After smiling a saying cheese she said, "mom, we have to take some silly pictures!" So we took a couple of silly pictures as well which my collage only shows one. It was fun and she loved the attention. I love my little princess!

Kaylee then and now

 




Kaylee wanted me to take a picture of her in her Christmas dress this year. As I was going to post it, I noticed her other pictures of when she was 18 months old. It is funny of the similar dresses and the same picture years apart of her playing on the piano. Man time flies and she isn't my little baby anymore.

Kay's big belly


The other day Kay said mom.. look at my belly, I think it's just getting too big. Hmm... if I get a fat belly like pap daddy I'm going to kill that food or I mean I'm going to eat food and then crack it out of my belly. Crack, Crack, Crack it out of my belly! Cause I don't want a big belly like pap daddy.

It was really funny!

Mischievous then... Mischievous now!

Mormon Mommy blogs

So I found this blog... mormon mommy blogs and it is pretty cool. Lots of topics to read about by different moms. Well this month they are having a cool give away and all you have to do to enter is to go to their blog and post a comment. I put a link under my links list everyone should check it out and enter it but you have to do it this week or you will be too late. Check it out! It's pretty cool.

WHO YOU ARE

I stole this off of someone else's blog, but I really liked it and I love Hilary Weeks so I thought I would post it too.

I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day
When the kids stay calm, the laundry's done, and the dishes are put away.
And sometimes you feel like your days are spent and gone
And the question running through your mind is what have I gotten done?
And when you finally have a moment to slow down
At the end of your day
I know Father would say

Believe in what you're doing
Believe in who you are
Hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming
Believe in who you are

It may seem simple-all the little things you do
But the lives you touch matter so much
And there's no one else like you
And Father needs you to stand tall and faithful
To be all you can be
Oh, if you could see what He sees, you'd

Believe in what you're doing
Believe in who you are
Hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming
Believe in who you are

When it's hard to believe in yourself
And you feel like you're beginning to doubt
Remember

He believes in what you're doing
He believes in who you are
Don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God
That he believes in who you're becoming
He believes in who you are

Another funny Kay saying

So the other day I made a grand lunch you know corn dogs, french fries and green beans. :) Kaylee likes mustard and I always forget but I put some on her plate and ketchup. When she came to the table she was so excited she said... Oh mustard!! My personal favorite, but mom I'm afraid that I don't like green beans anymore. Who is this kid? It made me laugh cause she sounded so grown up when she said it.
