Pictures tell the story...

Shad and I at 5:30 a.m. on September 4th...heading to the hospital for Baby #2!!



Shad is ready to support me during the surgery... I think he just likes to get dressed up :)

There are no words to describe the feeling you have when you meet one of your children for the very first time.

Kyson meeting Brox for the first time.



My good friend had her baby the day before me... a beautiful little girl named Avery. (Please don't judge my appearance... I had only been done with the C-Section less than 3 hours and I threw up right when they walked in the room... sorry about that again Lindsey and Cory).



The supporting troops...



Leaving the hospital...Kyson had to ride on the wheelchair too...two of the cutest boys you will ever see!!!



Brox's cute mullet and bum!!

Oh yeah...and this happened the first morning home. We woke up to Brox crying and found Kyson had crawled into the crib and was trying to pick Brox up. I of course freaked out...but no worries we now have the child-proof door knobs on the nursery so Kyson can't get in.

Kyson's Birthday Details

I know I'm back-tracking a little but I wanted to post details of Kyson's birthday. We planned to get together with Kyson's babysitter (Lindsay) and her family for a small party at their community pool. Let's just say Lindsay and her family completely spoiled Ky. So a BIG thanks to the Bean family for making Kyson's birthday so special...it definitely would not have been the same without you guys.

Kyson loves swimming in the pool...can you tell??

The party crowd...these kids are all so cute!!

The cutest cupcakes I have ever seen. Lindsay got the Elmo cupcakes just for Kyson. He even got his own little cake.

This was by far his favorite birthday gift...his very own BOLT!!! He now sleeps with it every night.

That night we went with my cousins and friends to the Las Vegas 51s game. Kyson loved watching the baseball game and even got a free hat. There were fireworks at the end of the game that we watched from our car on our way out. He loved "da booms".

Thanks again to everyone who made that day so much fun for Kyson. We really appreciated it!!

XOXO Melanie

TURNS TWO!!!!

August 29th 2007 at 3:54 a.m. our whole world changed. We welcomed our first beautiful little boy into our family. The joy he has brought into our lives the past two years is indescribable. A few things about Kyson you might not know...

* He truly was the best baby ever!

* His first word after Da Da was football.

* Kyson always wants to help us out by throwing garbage away, loading or unloading the dryer, handing clothes to Mommy to hang up, and every night he always helps "clean up" his toys.

* He loves to have books read to him every day and night.

* He loves brushing his teeth and likes to get on his stool so he can spit in the sink like Daddy.

* Since he was a baby he has loved the water. If we drive by a pool and we don't stop he is not very happy. He is a great little swimmer with his floaties on.

* He loves both of our families so much...but is partial to his "Pa Pa's" and Uncle's (sorry Grandma's).

* He loves playing every sport but prefers baseball, basketball, and football. We can't wait until his little brother is old enough to relieve Mommy and Daddy from pitching every once in a while.

* Kyson loves real keys and throws a fit every time we get in and out of the car without letting him get in the front seat to drive.

* His favorite movies right now are Bolt, Cars, and "Horsee" (aka Mulan).

* He also loves watching Mickey Mouse.

* His smile melts my heart every single time... especially if I get an "I Yuv You" with it.

* Kyson loves riding "cycles" which probably means we should actually purchase some motorcycles for Mommy, Daddy and Kyson to ride.

* Kyson enjoys going to church and every time we walk in the front door he runs in and points at the huge picture in the lobby and says "Jesus". He also loves taking the sacrament and says "please" over and over again and until the deacons bring it to our bench.

* He loves to sing and dance. His favorite song that Mommy sings to him is "You are my sunshine".

We love you so much Kyson and can't wait to see you grow. I know you will be the best big brother ever. Have a great birthday!!!

Milestone - Kyson

I know most of your kids at Kyson's age were probably already past this stage but it still makes me a proud Mommy.... Last night Kyson counted to 5 all by himself for the first time (before this he would only repeat numbers when we counted). We have a book that you can move little cars across the top and he counted all five. Shad & I were so excited we started giving him high fives and lots of praise. So after that... every time he counted he ran back and forth between Shad & I and would ask for a high fives and then would start clapping and saying "Yeah". Cute little boy!!! It's so fun to see how proud he is of himself when he accomplishes new tasks. Side Note: He made sure he told me that "Mommy was the pink car". So funny!

XOXO Melanie

Most IMPORTANT update...

My C-Section is scheduled for SEPTEMBER 4th @ 7:30 A.M. YEAH!!!

McKenzie gets hitched!!

We drove to Ephraim (35 weeks pregnant) on August 6th for my sister's wedding on the 8th... and to pick up our little boy! We had such a great time in Utah. I forget how calm it is there compared to Las Vegas. The weather was awesome, my parents yard was incredible, the endowment session and wedding was amazing and my sister looked beautiful. She married a great guy from Filmore. We are so happy he is officially part of our family. Love ya Kenzie and Dustin!! (The pictures are copied from her facebook so hopefully they turn out ok.)

Don't they looks so happy! I love their pictures!!

XOXO Melanie

P.S. I barely survived the drive back home...LOL!
