Kids Pictures

So I finally got the kids pictures done. Aaron and Taylors pictures from school wern't great so I needed to get some for the official "school year photo" and then of course Kyle wanted some of just him too. I won't post all of them because there are like 40, but I'll pick a few of the best... I need to figure out how to put in a slide show, help JaNae & Kristi!!

Here Kitty Kitty

Poor Kyle, when I got up this morning to take the kids to Seminary I glanced in Kyles room. All I could see was the cat lying on his pillow, so I took a closer look. The cat had kicked Kyle off his pillow and taken over. He has a bunk bed and sleeps on the top. The cat climbs his ladder. It's hilarious. You can see his little head to the right of the pillow in the picture...

Those Vampire Books

So I finished the Twilight series, and I bought a t-shirt, for me, and Taylor, and Ryan rolled his eyes, alot. And we talked about the stories at dinner. Because even Aaron has read them. And Ryan rolled his eyes, even more. And soon Kyle was asking questions and wanting to know about the characters. And Ryan rolled his eyes so hard they got stuck up in his head for a few minutes. Then we started talking about the movie, and watching the trailers. Then we talked about going to the midnight showing. Even though it is on a school night (Taylor's grades are awesome so we decided it's ok as long as she still goes to Seminary and school, without complaining) and Ryan (being sweet again) said he would take us. He said this with a straight face so I bought him a ticket. I think I forgot to mention that he took Taylor to get the book when it first came out. He went to Barnes and Noble at midnight with her and all the teenage girls and mom's. He was the ONLY dad there. There were 3 teenage boys there with their girlfriends, or I'm sure he would have been the only male, I'm still not convinced he was the only one there without expecting some sort of "appreciation" or maybe those teen boys are just whipped? Anyway, I found a t-shirt online that was perfect for him. I bought it, and he laughed, and wore it. I'm so proud...

Kyle and Ryan go to the game

So Ryan splits season ticket to the Phoenix Suns with his parents. Since I am such a lover of Basketball he often has the opportunity to take someone else to the games. Out of all the kids Kyle is the one who loves the games best. Taylor likes to go and Aaron thinks it's ok. I can handle 1 or 2 games a month but any more than that is more than I need. So at the end of last season Ryan promised Kyle that he would take him to the first game this season. Kyle has been waiting and waiting, sort of patiently, for this day to come! It was on Monday night, and it started at 7:00 I think. It was a good game I guess because it went into double overtime. Yup I said double... Ryan said Kyle was cheering for a triple overtime but the Suns pulled it off and won by 3 in the second overtime. Needless to say they got home REALLY late, and I let Kyle sleep in until the very last second Tuesday morning before I had to get him up for school. Ryan got less than 5 hours sleep because he had to get up and take the kids to Seminary Tuesday morning. I asked him if he wanted me to drive but being as sweet as he is he got up at 4:45 and did carpool. Then last night (Tuesday) he went to the Metallica concert with his brother. He was supposed to take Aaron but as I stated earlier, Aaron is grounded from everything he knows and loves, so he was unable to attend. Again he got home Really late, even later than Monday. I imagine he's going to be super tired. Again. What we won't do for our love of sports and rock bands...

Kyle's Specs

So I get this letter from the school 2 weeks ago, turns out Kyle can't see. Who knew? I took him in for an exam (I only had to hold him down while they put in the eye drops, amazing) and I let him pick his own glasses out. He's been asking every day since if they were in. You'de think he'd won the lottery today when I checked him out early for the fitting. I think he did a pretty good job with the frames...
