Kyson Turns 3!!

My baby boy has turned 3 years old! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! A few days before he turned 3 he got his birthday gift from his babysitter. He wanted to try it out and help Mommy make his birthday cupcakes. He loves his apron!!

My boys babysitter also gave me the idea of decorating my kids doors for their birthdays. So I decided to do it for Kyson the first time. He woke up to this...

He was so cute and said half asleep "Is that for me?" I said "Yes, it's your birthday!!" Kyson said,"THAT'S MY K" meaning he new that his name was on his door. He was so excited...I was excited...and then I realized I had pushed pause on my video camera instead of record!!! I could have killed myself. He was so dang cute, and I missed it all!

His BIG cupcake he helped to make...this was on his actual birthday. He picked to have burgers, homemade french fries, and his favorite pasta salad. He got a bicycle from us and a play guitar from on of my friends at work. He also got his very first Lego set form his Aunt Stephanie.

Then when my parents came down the next weekend for Brox's birthday I had Sara Prince make this cake. Every time I asked Kyson what he wanted for his birthday cake he would always say a "COOKIE CAKE". So a cookie cake was what Mommy (or Sara Prince) delivered. Seriously the cutest thing ever!!

Can you tell he was a happy little boy!

For posterity sake....

KYSON'S LOVES AT 3 YEARS OLD:

*Ice Cream (he gets one every time he goes poo poo in the potty)

*Swimming...I could not keep him out of a pool this summer. He is my little fish!

*Sports...he loves playing baseball, football, basketball, and golf.

*Reading Books

*Cuddling with Mommy...before he goes to bed every night he comes and asks me if I will cuddle with him. I love it!

*Rodeo's...he wants to "rope" everyone and everything.

*His Papa's...he can't get enough of both of his Grandpa's.

*Bicycle or motorcycle rides.

*Animals...any kind loves them all.

*Looking through our family photo albums.

*Nursery...don't you just love great nursery leaders!!

*Dancing/Music...he's got some great moves.

I guess I could keep growing the list....but I'm sure that is sufficient. :)

LOVE YOU KYSON!!

XOXO Mommy

Lasik

I've been neglecting this post. We've been taught not to covet... so I am still working on this one.

All done!

The day after surgery he was seeing 20/15!!

XOXO A Jealous Wife :)

Springs Preserve

I've got to catch up because it is a very special day today that I need to get to....

In July Shad & I went with the Hendricks family to the Springs Preserve. Our family had never been there before and it was a free day for the whole family. We soon realized why they make the free day in July...I'm just sayin' 120 degree weather is not so much fun with 2 little kids.

This flash flood display was one of Kyson's favorites.

Can you spot the creature?


Well we got 2 out of the 4 looking at the camera...batting 500 is always good.

The highlights for me was a free snow cone and kettle corn. Oh ya...and we got to see the youngest D.J. (per the Guinness Book of World Records) spin some music. This little guy was 6 years old. Ok to be honest it was a little anticlimactic. LOL!

XOXO Melanie

Princess

Ky - "Mommy - you are a princess!!"

Me- "What?"

Kyson points to a picture of our wedding day in front of the temple...

Kids say the funniest things!

XOXO Melanie

4th of July - Part II

After the Baugh family BBQ we headed down to Cedar City to enjoy the festivities at the park. It is always like a class reunion for Shad. For some reason we didn't get many pictures... we must have been having too much fun!!

Ky loved playing in all of the blow up bouncing things (whatever they are called). His favorite was a very tall slide. I thought he would be scared climbing that high, but it didn't phase him.

What more could a 2 year old ask for than cotton candy bigger than you!!

CUTE BOYS!

My FaVoRIte picture of the day. Brox with his favorite girlfriend from Cedar City. Mataya is like 4 months older but probably 15 lbs lighter. She is a keeper.


We love Cedar City!
