Kylees 3!!

man i'm a slacker. Kylee had her 3rd Birthday nearly a month ago, December 5th. She loved her pink cake. We just had cake and ice cream at gramma Bells with all the cousins. She is getting so big and heres the proof. These are her 3 year old pictures. She absolutely loved getting them taken. I guess she has had lots of practice. She kept saying, I want to do another one! in between poses.

She is such a Sweetheart!

Thanksgiving Vacation

It sure has been a while. We had a blast for Thanksgiving. Our Holiday started on the 17th. We left for Arizona, Monday morning bright and early. It was a very long trip, 12 1/2 hours to be exact. The kids slept for a while and did waaaayyyyyyy better than I thought they would be. Any way we arrived to Mesa at 6:30 and man that last half an hour is torture. We were so happy to get there. The next day we just rested and went to the park. After that I don't think we had another dull day. Our days were full of shopping at the huge malls and everywhere else. Heath could only handle a half day so most days he came with until after lunch and then went home (so the kids could nap) and dad would pick us up after work. I got most of my Christmas shopping done which was great cause there are very minimal places to shop in good old Vernal.

Friday Heath took me to San Diego for our anniversary without the kids. It was really hard for me to leave Kortnee she is only 7 months old and I have never given her a bottle so I didn't know if she would take one. I was a wreck until the first time she ate after we left. I took a pump which was awful and only made me miss Kortnee more. Anyway we went to Sea Port Village when we arrived. Later that night we went to the beautiful San Diego, Temple.



Oh my heck it is so amazing, that is definitely the prettiest temple I have ever seen. I'm a little sad that I wasn't sealed there, but we did get to do sealings.


The next day we went to Sea World, which was so fun we loved the dolphins and Shamu. The rides were really fun too.


The dolphins were my favorite. I got to feed them and pet them. It was so exciting!

We went back the next day and then went the Beach after. We gathered sea shells from the beach It is so beautiful, I am excited to take my kids there I know they would have so much fun. Anyway then we drove home for 6 hours, I was antsy the whole way, I couldn't wait to see my babies.
The next day we didn't waste any time, we were right back to the stores, Me and mom are troopers. Tuesday mom was sick with the flu thing, I guess Kaleb had it on Sunday while I was gone. Well, I knew someone had to have it on Thanksgiving and it wasn't going to be me. The rest of the crew got there Wednesday night so we went out to dinner. Of course, the next day being Thanksgiving I got to wake up with, Yes, the flu thing! Lucky me, I didn't eat any thing until Friday night. I had some soup, Oh well, I lost like 8 or 9 pounds.



That night we celebrated Kylees B-day and Kaleb was so excited to sing the "Happy to" song.



Then headed out to the Indoor Speedway (Go Karts). It was way fun. I think Heath came in second place.



When we got home me and Mere got the camera out and that made everyone act crazy.



We had to teach mom how to take skinny pictures. You can't really teach Ben anything! haha
