Picture Overload--AZ finale

I decided just to upload all of these pictures from AZ at once. Scroll at your convenience. There are a lot of them!

Kyle loooved being spoiled by Grandma! (I loved it too!)

The longest I had seen Kyle smiling at once was when my dad was talking to him. So cute!

We got to sneak in a visit to cousin Brooke. I love this picture of the two of them.

Who knew I would have such a serious baby? (comes from Tim) I thought this outfit was awesome. Thanks Chris and Jenny for the shirt!

I took Kyle on his first walk in the beautiful AZ weather. He looked terrified when I snapped him in, so I had to take a pic.

We cheered on Taylor at his lacrosse game. So fun!

Can you find Kyle?

I could cry looking at this pic. My baby brother turned 15!!! Watch out drivers...he'll be on the road soon. (But a much better driver than I was...I'm sure!)

Partying is a hard thing to do. Thanks Andy and Hillery for this amazing shirt!

Kyle met Catcher! Catcher is just two weeks older than Kyle. Catcher's mom, Megan, and I are just 5 days apart and have grown up together!

Kyle met Aunt Nina! Kristina is my best friend since 3rd grade. He has been spoiled way too much by her already!

We spent the first couple of days at Tim's house. 

Kyle and his cute cousin Logan, who is three weeks younger than Kyle.

We couldn't wait to meet little Sadie for the first time:

Cousin Mario was such a good helper!

Cousin Kaylie

The boys with their grandpa's (Pa) brothers. They came over and told stories about Pa, who died in 2005.

Kyle and Grammy

The brothers made a visit to Grandma Ray.

We had such a great trip. As always, it went too fast (even though I stayed longer than Tim!). We always love to be with family, friends, and warm weather!

Kyle's Blessing

We took a trip down to AZ to bless Kyle. We figured it was easier for us to go there then to hope our family could come to Utah. Plus, the sunshine was an added bonus! Tim blessed Kyle in my home with our immediate family and my best friend Kristina there. It was a really neat blessing. Kyle sure is loved!


Kyle was lucky enough to have his great-grandparents there! Great Papa and Grandma Curtis:

The One and Only Great Grandma Heyman:

And Great Grandma Ray:

I wish we had taken more pics! Thanks family for coming!

Do Not Try This at Home

Highlights from flying with Kyle alone from PHX to SLC:

1. Kyle had a major blow out while waiting for the flight. We rushed to the bathroom where I had to use every diaper wipe with me to clean him up.

2. Cleaning the disaster with women in the bathroom coming up to me and saying, "Oh he's so precious!" Did they not see what was all down his leg and up his back? I had to throw his shirt away.

3. Walking out of the bathroom, Kyle only in a diaper in one hand, while pushing the stroller in the other. So W.T.! I put a new outfit on him once at the gate.

4. Learning that my "extra" outfit I carried around was too small. I couldn't button him up on the bottom, so it fit like a dress.

5. The second trip to the changing table while waiting for our flight. Kyle screamed as I used wet paper towels to wipe the poor baby.

6. Everyone telling me, "What a good baby!" Kyle did well on the flight, didn't make a sound. It was getting on the plane that was scary! This made it all worthwhile:

So much more blogging to do!

Happy Days

This blog program is driving me crazy! I can't post the pictures in the order I want. Anyway... I got my diploma in the mail! I was so excited. I thought it was neat/sad that I was the last group to get President Hinckley's name on my diploma. I took my pic with Kyle because he makes any picture cuter.

We've got smiles! Kyle smiles for Tim much easier than he does for me, but it's still very cute!

We went to the Dr. today and Kyle weighs 10 pounds, 4 oz. and is 23 inches long!

Not Quite Kissing Cousins

Kyle got to meet his cousin Kate this past week! Chris, Jenny, and Kate arrived on Monday and I think Kate noticed Kyle for the first time on Friday.

Kate cuddled up to Kyle at first, but then didn't like him so much in her daddy's arms. Aunt Jenny had the special touch to get Kyle asleep. Thanks Jenny!

Here are some happier moments:

Same carseat, a little different child:

We already miss her!

Ladies Man

Kyle got a fun package from my cousins Shauna and Lisa with this amazing shirt in it. What a ladies man! Thanks guys!

It looks like he doesn't mind the ladies...

We bundled Kyle up to take him to Aunt Alli's. He was so cute and warm!
