Kevin, Bethany, & Kylee

Medieval War Reenactment

2010-07-11T20:19:00.000-07:00

We were on our way to a going away party for a friend and drove by a park on the way to the house it was at. As we passed the park, we saw a group of teenagers who were reenacting a medieval war. It was one of the greatest and funniest things I've ever seen. We drove by three different times to get these pictures. It was seriously so funny.

Trip to California

2010-07-11T19:41:00.000-07:00

We went to Knott's Berry Farms during the summer. It was so much fun. These pictures are a little out of order, but that's okay. It was so much fun. Kylee had a blast. We also went to the beach, but my sister Ande has those pictures.

Kylee was helping Grannie Annie drive her motorized cart. It was really fun. I am actually amazed that Grannie Annie and my mom (who also had a motorized cart) didn't run into anybody while they were driving.
We happened to be at Knott's Berry Farm on Game 6 of the LA Lakers and Suns playoff game. Johnny and Kevin decided that they needed to represent the Suns...too bad it didn't work out for us.

There is my mom and her cart.

There is my dad. He is really happy to be there, as you can tell from the picture.

That is my sister Amber and my Brother-in-Law Billy.

Kevin on the carousel.

Ande and Logan on the carousel

Kylee has her hair in braided pig tails and is sporting her brand new swimming suit. I couldn't get her to pose for me so there are several pictures of her coming up.

This one is my favorite because she was running toward me to try and tackle me. I couldn't have snapped this picture at a better moment.

I also love this picture because she looks so happy and like she is having so much fun.

This is Kylee trying to through something at me...I'm not sure what though.

We were leaving Knott's Berry Farm and walking under a roller coaster. Kylee was on Kevin's shoulders and they were looking at the roller coaster as it went by.

Kylee was playing with Kevin's beard...it was actually a little disturbing.

That was the moment that the roller coaster passed over our heads. Kylee loved watching it go by and the loud noise that it made.

This was the car ride to California.

Noah, my nephew, got to ride in the cool car on the way to California and Brock, my other nephew, got to ride with us on the way back. It was so much fun.

Allison was having way too much fun...obviously.

Zoo Lights

2010-04-04T19:14:00.001-07:00

After Christmas, Mel, Alisa, and their kids came down to Arizona. We went to the Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo. It was so much fun. We didn’t see many animals, but we were given special glasses to make the lights multiply. It was very cool. There is also a video of the light show set to music with and without the glasses. Be sure to look at it.

Merry Christmas!!!

2010-04-04T18:33:00.001-07:00

We celebrated Christmas at our house with Uncle Johnny and Aunt Allison. It was so much fun. Then we went over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and opened more presents. I love being with my family and playing with my cousins.

ASU Game

2010-04-04T17:35:00.001-07:00

In December we were able to go the an ASU basketball game as a family. It was so much fun. We let Kylee take some pictures and ate dinner at the game. Each of us had a pretzel with cheese. Kevin had just finished his pretzel and I was trying to pass Kylee to him. In the process Kylee started freakin’ out and ending up knocking my cup of cheese out of my hand and on to the back of the man sitting in front of us. I was so embarrassed.

Another Play Day with Kylee

2010-04-04T17:12:00.001-07:00

We spent another play day with Kylee. We went to McDonald’s and played at the park by our house. It was such a great day to play outside. Kevin finally didn’t have to work on a weekend day, so we took advantage. When we came to the park before, we missed two of the items on the scavenger hunt, but we found them on this trip to the park.

Happy Halloween!!!

2010-04-04T16:03:00.001-07:00

We were able to celebrate Halloween 3 different times this past Halloween. We went to our wards Halloween party/trunk-or-treat, my parent’s ward Halloween party/trunk-or-treat, and Trick-or-Treating on Halloween. Here are the pictures and I’m sorry they are so late.

Family Pictures

2010-04-04T09:46:00.001-07:00

We took family pictures in Utah a few weeks ago. It was such an experience. In the morning we took family pictures with the Reese’s and in the afternoon we took family pictures with the Hickman’s. This is from the Hickman family pictures. I just couldn’t resist sharing it with you all.

I will post more of the pictures when I get them. Thank you Melissa (Simply Be Photography) for taking the pictures…they turned out beautiful.

Sorry!!!

2009-11-23T18:11:00.000-08:00

I stink at this. I'm so sorry that I haven't updated the blog in a really long time. I do have many, many pictures to post and lots of stories to tell. Maybe I will be able to get a lot of that posted this weekend. Who knows. I still have a lot of homework to do. I can't wait for this semester to be over! I'll post soon....I promise. Sorry again.

Missing my baby!

2009-09-20T19:59:00.000-07:00

So, my mom has been our babysitter while we are at work and school. My mom and dad were going out of town for a week, so I either had to find a new babysitter for a week or send her up to Utah with them. We sent her to Utah with them so she could spend time with her other nieces and nephews and Grannie Annie.

I am so sad that I haven't gotten hugs and kisses from her in 5 days. I'm having Kylee withdrawals. From what I hear, she is having such a great time playing with Johnny, Jackson, Becca, and Annie. I'm so glad that she was able to spend time up there and get to know them more.

I just can't wait to get her back here so I can give her a lot of loves and kisses.

Pretty Pretty Princess!!!

2009-09-14T21:48:00.001-07:00

Grandma Jolene just bought a whole bunch of Princess shoes that Kylee just can't get enough of. She loves walking around in my high heels, and now she has her own to walk around in. There is a video, but it wasn't uploading. I'll put it on a different post soon.

See my pretty new shoes! I love them!

Cheeeeese?

Too darn cute!

Pictures with Grandma! I love you Grandma!

Look at all of those shoes...

Cinderella...

Ariel...

Belle...

Aurora...

Snow White...

and a princess just isn't a princess without a tiara.

Little Angel!

2009-09-14T21:30:00.000-07:00

Aunt Amber let Kylee play with here angel wings. Kylee loved it! She was so excited when Amber put the wings on her I had to document it.

And then she found the Shop Vac.

Some More Fun in the Tub

2009-09-07T08:10:00.000-07:00

I love when Kylee has bath time. She is just too darn cute. She is a little swimmer and loves the water. She loves trying to drink the water too. I'm trying to break her of that habit now, but I had to post this cute video and pictures.

See what I mean...a little swimmer.

This is her "Blue Steal" face.

I have no idea what that was all about.

I love this picture. She just stood up for a second and folded her arms. Thank goodness I had my camera there.

The next two pictures are a lot brighter because I changed the setting on my camera. But then it took to long to take the pictures and then the setting got reset. I'll have to play with it again.

Cheeeeeese?

Kick, kick, kick, kick....

Just floatin' on my back.

Playin at the park!

2009-09-06T21:59:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. I was trying to see if there was an easier way to do it, but there isn't. Anyway, we decided to go to the park one morning, because it is way to hot to go in the afternoon here. Kylee had such a fun time. We went to a park right down the street from our house. No one else was there, but we all had such a fun time.

Kylee loves going down the slide.

I was trying to help Kylee play with this really weird looking toy. It has got to be the most pointless toy I have ever tried. You just sit on the seat and pull on the bars. You move about 2 inches up and down. Lame!

Givin' loves. I love Kylee loves.

This toy has marbles in it and you turn little nobs to make the marbles go through a maze. Kevin had fun with it and then showed Kylee how to use it.

(See...Kevin is the one playing with it!)

(Oh...he let Kylee have a turn...nice sharing daddy!)

Kylee and daddy going do the very small slide. Why do they make them so little?

Around and around we go!

Mommy's turn to take Kylee around.

Say Cheese!

Mommy and Kylee going down the slide.

"Kylee...put your hands in the air!"

Please excuse the butt shot!

Going through the freakin' hot rock wall.

I finally made it! (i'm serious...that rock wall was really hot!)

YEAH!

Kevin had to copy me. He made it up faster than I did though, but he burned his hand on the way down.

Hi!

The Scavenger Hunt. Before we left for home, we decided to try and find them all. The pictures are below.

As you can see...we are two short. We didn't realize it until after we left the park and we have not gone back to play there since. Once we go back, we'll find them and post the pictures.

Help Me!

2009-08-10T07:26:00.001-07:00

Is there an easier and faster way to upload a lot of photos to my blog? I don't like loading just 5 photos at a time and sitting at the computer for hours while it uploads. I also don't want me photos to appear in a slideshow all of the time. Any suggestions?

4th of July Vacation

2009-07-21T20:54:00.000-07:00

We went to Utah for the 4th of July. The pictures are a little out of order though. Kevin, Kyle, and Bryan played softball the day that we were leaving. They had a lot of fun and Kylee loved watching them play.

Annie's birthday was the day before we left. We went to dinner at Beehive Grill. It was good food, family, and fun.

Kevin's family friend, Rodney, showed Kylee the horses that his family had. He got one of them to smile for us. It was a lot of fun.

After we played kickball, we had a barbecue at Bryan and Heidi's house. Good food and great company.

We played kickball with our families. It was so much fun. I hope that it will become a new tradition that we will play every year with our families and kids.

Kylee was so tired the ride up. Good thing Elmo was there....and Lamby.

We accidently left a diaper on top of the car on the trip up. We changed Kylee's diaper in Page and it was still there when we stopped in Beaver.

Our First Baseball Game

2009-06-16T22:37:00.000-07:00

I went to my first Diamondbacks baseball game. It was so much fun, even though the ended up losing. I went with my Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Ande, Uncle Matt, Noah, Brock, Logan, Mommy, and Jonathan. It was so much fun. I had my first corn dog there too and it was delicious.

Kylee's Birthday Party

2009-06-16T20:00:00.000-07:00

Kylee had her first birthday party on Memorial Day. It was a swim party. She shared her party with her daddy and her uncle Kyle. We had so much fun. We were so glad that Uncle Kyle and Grannie Annie were there to help us celebrate. I hope you enjoy the slide show of her party.

Feeding Myself - Take 2

2009-05-13T06:50:00.000-07:00

Learning how to feed myself has been so much fun. I love practicing....mainly because it allows me to get food all over the kitchen and myself and not get in trouble for it. Here are a few more videos of me trying to feed myself. Practice makes perfect. (This video was taken a little while ago, but I forgot to load it. Sorry.)

Feeding Myself - Take 1

2009-05-11T22:00:00.001-07:00

Today was my first attempt at feeding myself. I had so much fun. Mommy put baby food in a bowl for me at breakfast, Peaches. Yum. She helped me at first, but then decided to let me try it by myself. I tried a few times, but then decided that it was much more fun to stick my hands in it and rub it all over. I had so much fun.

Random Pics in April

2009-05-10T21:01:00.000-07:00

Here we were watching daddy play softball with the Elders in our ward. It was so much fun. Kylee got to play in the dirt and not get in trouble. I think that was her favorite part.

These are random pictures of Kylee in the tub and in the car.

I was spying on Kylee playing with her toys at Grandma Jolene's house. She kept seeing the flash from the camera going off and looked around trying to find what was making that weird flash.

She kept looking and looking, but couldn't find it.

Still couldn't find it.

Nothing that way.

Uh oh. She spotted me and decided to come after me. Look out!

Buckin' Bronco Daddy!

2009-03-29T15:30:00.000-07:00

Well, after playing horsey with Mommy, I wanted to play with Daddy. That is when I realized he was not a horsey, instead he was a Buckin' Bronco. Let's just say that my first attempt didn't go quite like I planned.

How does that saying go........"If at first you don't succeed, try try again!" Well, that is what I did and I'm happy to say that the result was a lot better than the first time.

Horsey Rides on Mama

2009-03-29T15:13:00.000-07:00

Mommy gave me my very first horsey ride today!!! It was so much fun. I can't wait until I get a little older and understand the concept of holding on! Enjoy the video and pictures. I love you all.

BUBBLES!!!!! .......She likes bubbles!

2009-03-21T20:01:00.000-07:00

After a very long day of playing, going to a friends birthday party, going to a wedding, and going to an elder's quorum party...Kylee needed a bath. I decided to introduce her to bubbles. She had her very first bubble bath tonight. She loved it. Enjoy the pics. Love you all.

Hello to my Family in Utah!!!

2009-03-21T19:52:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say hi to my family in Utah. I love you all and can't wait to see you in May.

2009-03-21T19:40:00.000-07:00

After many weeks of practice, I have nearly mastered the art of walking. Okay...I'm exaggerating. I actually just took a few steps, but I'm getting good at it. I hope that you enjoy the video below and expect many more to come.

Almost Done!!!

2009-02-20T20:32:00.000-08:00

We have been slowly remodelling our house for the past few years. It has been a long, hard, painful process. First we remodelled the back room. The owners before us closed in the porch and left the stucco on the walls in stead of putting drywall up. We had to tear out the stucco and put up drywall. We also had to put insulation in the ceiling, because they didn't put that up either. While doing that, we decided to remodel our kitchen also. We changed the position of the sink, dishwasher, and stove. We filled in a doorway and took out a sliding glass door that separated the add on from the dining room, We put all of the debris in the back yard, since it had no other place to go. We received many notices from our HOA to clean up our back yard or we would be fined. We cleaned the back yard many times. Since we have been remodelling and taking stuff out of the house, we have used the back yard as storage too. We received more notices to clean the yard. Finally, Kevin and I were tired of receiving notices. Kevin decided to put up a wood fence, instead of the screen fence that was up. It looks awesome. You did a fantastic job Kevin!

Since we remodelled the kitchen, as stated in the previous paragraph, we have had concrete for a kitchen floor. We hoped that we would get laminate flooring in before we had Kylee. That didn't happen. We then wanted to get it in before she started crawling, but that didn't happen either. But, we finally got most of the flooring in. We spent the morning of President's day putting in our wood floor. Kevin was in charge of using the circular saw and measuring the wood to the length we needed. I was in charge of locking the floor in place and making sure there were no spaces between the pieces. Well, there was only one incident that day. Thank goodness it didn't involve Kevin and the saw. Yes, it involved me......and a HAMMER. I was looking at a piece of wood while trying to hammer another piece of wood against it so there wouldn't be any gaps. Well, needless to say....I missed. I hit my index finger. It hurt so bad. I immediately put an ice pack on it. It then began to swell, turn purple, and hurt like crazy. The swelling has gone down some, but it still hurts a little bit. Anyway, here is our almost finished kitchen floor.

Next comes different paint, baseboards, a chair rail for Kylee's room, and then the guest bathroom. Just gotta take it one step at a time!

Wrestling with Daddy!

2009-02-20T19:41:00.001-08:00

I LOVE to rough house with my Daddy. It is so much fun. I beat him all the time. In the pictures below, you will see that I pinned him a few different times. Oh yeah!

I'm just faking so he'll leave me a lone for a second.

I told you so!

Point for Kylee!

This is soooo much fun!

Two points for Kylee!

Three points for Kylee! I'm kicking trash!

Four points for Kylee!

Woooo Hoooo! I remain undefeated!
Hey mom, wanna wrestle?

Wild and Free!

2009-02-07T21:55:00.001-08:00

Daddy left me on the bed to get the wipes while he was changing my diaper. I decided to explore. This is how my daddy found me when he turned around. Good thing the camera was on the dresser. Good luck trying to keep me still when I get my diaper changed.

What a cute little bum!

Daddy thinks I'm gonna be a sleep-walker!

2009-02-07T21:42:00.000-08:00

As they lay me down to sleep, I am peaceful and still. But, throughout the night I seem to toss and turn and move up and down the length of my crib. I even talk in my sleep sometimes. Here are some interesting photos that my dad took while I was asleep and moving.

Christmas Bowling Time!!!

2009-02-07T21:28:00.000-08:00

Every year, my family goes bowling and has a gift exchange. Every time you get a strike you open a present and then steal presents from the other family members. It gets quite competitive if the presents are good. But in the end, Kevin and John (dad) are usually the ones with the best presents (if you catch my drift).

Bowling makes me sleepy! Right now anyway!

GOOOOO DAAAADDDDDY!

Nice picture Kevin!

That's Hot!

Me and Logie just playing and having fun! We're best friends!

My First Airplane Ride!!!

2009-02-07T21:02:00.000-08:00

I know this is a really late post, but I love the pictures that we have of Kylee on her first airplane ride back from Utah.

Christmas Pictures!

Every year, daddy has to try and beat Aunt Heidi in ping pong. He is warming up against Uncle Bryan right now.

Happy Holidays!!!

2009-01-03T14:27:00.000-08:00

I know that I am very bad at posting things on time, or that I have been lately. We had a very lovely Thanksgiving. We stayed in Arizona and had dinner at my parent's house. We do this every year. We watched football and enjoyed each other's company. It was a very relaxing day. The next day (Black Friday), we went shopping like the other crazy people. I didn't get many pictures of Thanksgiving.

Christmas was so much fun. We travelled up to Utah to spend Christmas with Kevin's family. It was nice to get away for a week and a half and relax a little bit. It was snowing like crazy while we were up there. Kylee had so much fun playing in the snow. I sat her up in the snow and she was playing in it for a little bit. Then she just layed down. I had to take the opportunity to help her make her first snow angel. It was so much fun being able to play with her in the snow for her first Christmas.

Christmas day was so fun. I loved watching Kylee try and rip the wrapping paper off of her presents, not to mention some other presents also. She enjoyed playing with the paper more than her toys, until she realized what her toys did.

Kevin and I really enjoyed being in Utah for Christmas. It was so much fun being Kylee up to see Kevin's family and to play in the snow and with her cousins that she doesn't get to see all of the time. We love you all and hope that you had a wonderful and merry Christmas.

We had so much fun bringing Kylee to the 25th Ward Trunk-or-Treat. It was so fun. Here are some random pictures of the Trunk-or-Treat and of Kylee and us at my parent's house afterward. Enjoy!

Arys Palmer is too dang cute!!!

I love the Sumo costumes!

Kylee's favorite across the street neighbor, Brianna Hopper!

The Ryan family dressed as the characters from the movie Enchanted! Too Cute!

Grant is too cute as a dinosaur! Roar!

I love the costumes here!

John Palmer, getting some food before going to the Westwood vs. Mesa High football game! Mesa High spanked Westwood. Jackrabbits ROCK!!!!!

Don't mess with Kylee the bear. GRRRRR!!!

Afer the Trunk-or-Treat, we went to my parent's house and took pictures with the new babies in the family, and most of the cousins! It was so much fun. Kylee can't get enough of Gavin (the blue monster)!

Jennifer & Gavin (Blue Monster), Bethany & Kylee (Bear), Noah (Black Spiderman, not Venom), Ande & Logan (Giraffe), and Brock (Jedi Knight)

My cousin Logan and I are playin' and giving each other lots of hugs and kisses!

I was so tired after that long night of pictures and fun!

Daddy's Funny!

2008-10-26T19:26:00.000-07:00

Here are a few videos of my dad feeding me. He is such a goof ball!

Daddy's trying to feed me and talk on his phone at the same time! I want my food!!!!!

I finally got my food! Yeah! Why is he wearing those silly glasses?

Daddy's telling me that I need to swallow my food. Why? Can't I just spit it out everywhere?

Yummy Yummy Yummy!

2008-10-26T19:06:00.000-07:00

Last night was my very first night trying to eat my rice cereal with a spoon instead of out of a bottle. It was very interesting. I had a lot of fun with my mommy and daddy though. They had a lot of fun too. Check it out!

Do all mommies do this, or just mine? She was making faces the whole time I was trying to eat!

Mommy, I can do it myself!!!

See, I told you so!

This is the final picture! It was a very fun night. I can't wait for dinner tonight!!!

At Work With Mommy!

About a month ago, my mom took me to work with her while my Grandma got better. I had such a great time at work with my mom. I have a crib there to take my naps in, toys to play with, and I even got to help my mom with some of her work. It was so much fun. Here are some pictures.

I'm Still Here!

2008-10-22T18:19:00.000-07:00

I know that I haven't been the best blogger. I like to posts pictures when I blog and I haven't been able to take too many when I'm at work all day and Kylee is with Grandma. I'm going to try and be better. I just wanted to let you all know that I am still here.

Kylee had a doctor's appointment today. She is doing very well. She weighs 14 pounds and 4 ounces. She is about 26.5 inches long. She is in the 95 percentile for her height and the 65 percentile for her weight. She is a very healthy little girl. The doctor said that she is able to start eating cereal now. She is very eager to start crawling. She pushes up on her hands, put just can't get going right now. She is trying so hard and I can't wait for here to start moving.

I love getting ready for church. Some of the dresses that I have make me look like a princess. The dress that I wore to church yesterday is one of my favorites.

I Love You Grannie Annie!

I was at my Grandma Jolene's house yesterday with my cousins. We went swimming for a little while and then we played and played in the house. I love my cousins Noah and Brock, but Logan is my best friend. He is a couple months older than me, but we love to hang out!

I just got a new Bumbo, and I LOVE IT! I love sitting up by myself. I love to use my Bumbo while playing with my toys. I really like to play with the Awesome Butterfly hanging in the middle of my little gym thing.

A few weeks ago, I went swimming with my mom; my grandma; my cousins Noah, Brock, and Logan; and my Aunt Ande. I had such a fun time. I love being in my swimming suit and splashing around. My cousin Noah loves to do cannonballs right by me. I love getting splashed, even though it shocks me at first. I love to play with my mommy and my cousin Logan. He is just a few months older than me, but he is one of my best friends. I can't wait until I can take swimming lessons. It'll be so much fun.

I was over at my grandma and grandpa's house for family dinner today. My Aunt Amber was there also. My mommy needed to do something so she asked Aunt Amber to hold me. Aunt Amber played a really fun game with me. AIRPLANE. I love this game!

I'm So Pretty!

After a long day at the office with my mom on Friday and after my daddy got off work, we headed over to grandma and grandpas house. Grandpa went to the lake with the young men from his ward, but grandma was home and ready to go with us to the mall. We travelled for what seemed like forever, but finally arrived at Superstition Springs Mall. We found the closest parking spot and then walked to Claire's to get my ears pierced.

There were two people in front of us in line. One was a little baby girl just like me and the other was a teenager. Finally after about 10 minutes and having my mommy fill out some paper work, it was my turn. My mom had to hold my arms down and then turn my head to one side and then the other after the lady pierced my first ear. It was only painful for about 10 seconds. Mommy and daddy had my puppy, my pacifier, and a bottle ready for me when I was done.

It was a little scary at first, but I am soooooo pretty (not like I wasn't before though Ü)!

I Survived!!!

I woke up this morning after an 8 hour rest feeling very refreshed and happy. My dad changed my diaper and picked out my outfit. He then fed me my bottle before I had to be taken to the doctor by my mom.

I saw the doctor walk into the room and she proceeded with her normal check up: temperature, check my eyes, ears, and nose, and of course she got my measurements. I now weigh 11 pounds and 6 ounces and I am 25 inches long. I'm tall and skinny! I thought that the appointment was over, but then SHE came in....

My mom handed me back to the nurse, who proceeded to give me a drink. It was very tasty, but then she took it away. I wasn't very happy about that. As my mom was about to give me my binky, I felt a sharp shooting pain in my leg. I HAD BEEN SHOT!!! The pain was almost unbearable. It felt like it would never end. I suddenly felt two more shooting pains in my other leg. All I wanted to do was come to the doctor and get my check up, but I had to get my shots.

Well, it's a few hours later now. My legs are very tender, but I am in the loving arms of my mom and my grandma. I survived my first shots!
