Thomas the Train

Ryan and Tristen came and picked up Kylie to go and see Thomas the Train. She had a blast being with Nathan and Rylee and her aunt and uncle.  She had so much to share with us when she got home about what a great day she had.  Thanks, Ryan and Tristen for thinking of taking her.  She had a blast.

BIG Sister!

It has been quite the week with school getting out and me having to go in to my classroom for a little bit.  One evening after school was out I went over to help with new teacher interviews.  Kylie and Daddy got to stay home and take care of Zachary.  Here is Kylie giving Zachary a bottle.  She thought that was really fun.  The only problem is, is that for the past four days Zachary has taken to spitting up.  And I mean spitting up a lot.  There is sometimes after a feeding that we wonder if he is keeping anything in his poor little tummy.  The doctors say that he must be is we are able to calm him down afterwords.    That is what they said over the phone anyway.  I think that we are going to try to get him into the pediatrician this week anyway to see if there is something that we can do for him.

Everyone has been telling me that Zachary is changing a lot.  I didn't realize how much he was really changing until I started looking at all the pictures we had taken of him.

Zachary and Allie

This weekend we were able to meet our little neice/cousin Allie.  Kylie just had to have a picture holding both Allie and Zachary.  As you can see, Zachary is not liking it too much.

Kylie loves to read, and she is doing such a great job!  This is a book that grandma parsons gave to Zachary and she just had to read it to him and her dad.

We put Zachary and Allie down on the floor by each other and it was just fun to watch them watch each other.  Here is just a couple of pictures that we took.  I think we ended up getting about 30 of them all together.

Check out those feet!

Let's hold hands.  This was just too cute!

The Missing Tooth!

Well it finally happened.  Kylie's first tooth came out.  She was so proud of herself that she let her daddy pull out her tooth. (When in reality Kelly said it was just sitting there.)  We wrote a fun note to the tooth fairy and placed it under the pillow.  She was so excited to see the money that was left behind that we had to hang it on the fridge.  It is still there today.

Fun Pics of Kylie and Zachary!

Just a couple of fun pictures that I took of Kylie and Zachary.

Kylie's Loose Tooth!

On Thursday evening Kylie kept saying that it hurt to chew her food. Kelly looked at her teeth and sure enough she has two of them that are loose right in the front. She is pointing to the loose ones in the picture. After she discovered them she wrote this little note/story about her loose teeth in her journal. I thought it was really cute and I wanted to share it with everyone.


This is what the note says, just in case you can't see it.
"Kylie's Loose Tooth"
I got my loose tooth last night it wiggled and hurts very much. It went wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. I love my first loose tooth! Love, Kylie

Big Eyes!

Here is a couple of pictures of Zachary while he is awake.

Zachary has arrived!

Zachary decided to arrive a little over a week earlier than planned. But that was ok by me. In the early morning hours of April 24th after getting back into bed from one of my many trips to the bathroom, my water decided to break. We got the grandparents called in Henefer and they came to pick up Kylie and we headed out the door. Ten hours later at exactly 10:30 a.m. we had our precious little bundle to love and adore. He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and is 21 inches long.
Here are a couple of pictures of this wonderful occasion.




Check out the size of my feet! The nurse made the comment that it looks like we have a little basketball player. If she only knew how true that really is.
Kylie has proved to be such a great big sister. She loves to hold her baby brother as much as she can, and she has been a big help to me it getting those things that are just out of my reach.
