As most of you know Makayla has had a few issues this year that have been really hard for her. We have worked really hard for her to overcome these and Makayla did it!!!! Ben and I are so proud of her. She has worked so hard and been so amazing through all of this. She was promised after her success that she could have a swimming party with all her friends. She had so much fun! She wanted a princess cake and loved it. Makayla you are growing up so fast. We love you so much and are so proud of you.

Last Saturday was a free fishing day here in Nevada so we all went fishing at the pond here in Fallon. It was a little chilly and rainy but luckily for the couple hours we were there it was beautiful. Daddy did a great job checking the weather and making sure it would be nice. We didn't have any luck catching anything but it was a lot of fun. Makayla had a great time on her first fishing trip!Daddy is teaching Makayla the art of fishing.

I think she's got it!Mommy enjoyed it too.
Woops!!! Kyle is hungry. Let's take a little break and feed him.The best part of the whole trip was when daddy wanted to teach Makayla and I how to have the perfect cast. Well, the line ended up in the tree. Makayla thought it was hilarious and so did I!!!
When we got home Makayla was riled up and Kyle was exhausted! Typical three year old and 7 week old. What a great day!!!

Makayla loves her brother!!!




Makayla loves Kyle so much! I thought that she might be a little jealous when we brought him home but she really isn't at all. She is constantly wanting to hold him and feed him. Every time he cries she is right there trying help him stop. Her favorite thing to do is sing to him. She is the sweetest and best big sister ever!!!

One Month Old


I can't believe it!!! Kyle is already one month old. How time flies when you are happier than you have ever been. I love being a mother of two. Makayla is so much fun. I love that we can have conversations about things. She does have a little attitude now that shows up a couple times a day but with that is her sweet little personality that loves everyone and everything. She is constantly telling all of us how much she loves us. And then there is my little boy. I can't even imagine life without him now. He is such a huge part of our lives. We are so blessed to have this special little spirit in our home. Kyle is growing up so fast! We just took him to the hospital to get his newborn lab work done and while we were waiting in the room there was a baby scale. So we turned it on and put Kyle on it. He weighed 9 pounds!!! Holy cow at least we know he is eating well. It will be fun to see how much he has grown at his two month appointment. Kyle is trying to smile at us but he hasn't quite gotten there yet. This morning I got a half smile out of him but we are waiting for the real thing. He is starting to grab our hands which is always fun. He also is holding his head up a lot better. Overall he is absolutely perfect. We love him so so so so much!!!
While we were in Utah we were trying to think of a nick name for Kyle. We thought of a bunch of things but nothing stuck. When Brooke handed him over to us at the hospital she told us that she had been calling him Ky Guy. Well, Brooke I am glad to tell you that that has stuck and we love it. That is pretty much all that Makayla ever calls him. He is our sweet little Ky Guy!

Kyle is two weeks old!!!


Kyle is two and a half weeks old! We went to the pediatrician yesterday and he is now 7 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. Good job buddy!!! The doctor said he is perfect which we of course already knew. After the doctor we got his picture taken. He did great and Makayla loved helping out with things. Makayla still loves her little brother. Her favorite thing to do is feed him. Today it came in really handy when Kyle was screaming to be fed and I needed to make lunch. I had Makayla feed him while I made lunch. She is the best big sister ever!!!
