October 2011

Pictures of Kyle's, Kajsa's and my costumes will be posted shortly. Trey was a BYU football player when we went Trick or Treating instead of a Kung Fu Master. For Halloween this year we went trick or treating in a neighorhood up on the benches of Provo. It is a little gated culdasac. One of our friends lives with his wifes parents there so they invited us to go.  It was so awesome. They give out King size candy bars. We did two streets and got loaded with awesome candy.  Too bad we are not big candy eaters. Most of it will probably go to waste. We will for sure eat all of the reese's peanut butter cups though.  One house gave candy for the kids and then passed out hot chocolate for all of the parents.  It was a lot of fun. Afterwards we went to Uncle Brad's and Aunt Malia's and ate In n' Out with them. It was a great Halloween. 

For Halloween Trey wanted to be a Kung Fu Master at Preschool.  Thank you Kung Fu Panda.  I made sure to remind him that he WAS NOT allowed to "kung fu" any of his preschool friends!





We had a great time playing in the leaves this year.  Kyle and I never really got to do this growing up in Orange County so we had lots of fun too :)





Trey went to Cornbelly's on a preschool field trip. It was soo much fun. Wish we could have stayed longer and brought Kyle with us. Hope we can go next year.




A little hay maze for the kids. Trey and his sunglasses always make me smile.



Miss Leanne, Chelsea and Me. It was so warm for the middle of October.



We went on a hay ride.




Kids played in an old fire truck




The whole group. We only had 4 moms and two of us had little babies as well. It was hard to keep track of everyone. We only lost one boy for a few minutes and chased others several, several times. 



September 2011

September was the start of a new chapter in our lives.  Kyle started his last year at BYU and Trey started Preschool.  Trey goes to preschool twice a week in Lehi. We live in Provo. This has worked out wonderfully for our family but has somehow made my life much busier than I thought.  I am still singing in my barbershop quartet group and we practice twice a week as well. We were preparing for Christmas so we had a lot of songs to learn. We enjoyed the warm weather and were excited for the start of a new round of intramural sports and BYU football and women's volleyball.  

Trey's first day of preschool. He was acting too shy to really smile unfortunately.



Playing with McKayla during recess

Played a fun hula hoop game on the first day of Preschool



I got a good laugh from this. Kajsa got the chair out herself and put it in front of the TV. Before this she had never shown much interest in the TV, but she was intently watching this program in her cute little chair.



They were so happy that morning :)

Kajsa tried spaghetti for the first time and loved it

I was getting ready before preschool one morning and came out to find Trey eating his breakfast with his sunglasses on. He loves those things. 

Kajsa tried her first oreo....

As you can see she loooooved it!

Enjoying the warm weather while we can

August 2011

We went to California for our summer vacation to visit Kyle's family.  We had a fun time at the beach with the kids.

 Kajsa loves putting her feet in the water.

 Trey loved to pick up the sand and throw it into the waves.

 They laid on the warm sand for a half hour. It was very cute.

 Trey really wanted to go surfing with dad, but this was the closest we got.

 For the second half of the trip we went to Big Bear to celebrate Steve's (Kyle's dad) Birthday. The whole family came up even Uncle Greg from Washington. We went to the zoo to see the buffalo's, and many other animals. We also took family picture's while we were there (see later post).

 Out on a walk by the lake.

 Grandma and Kajsa.

 Trey and Lucy hanging out with Uncle Greg. He was a real sport, he even let them put him in jail.

 Present time for Grandpa. He got a keepsake CD from family and friends.



July 2011

 In July, Kyle took the GRE in Logan, Utah at the Utah State campus.  It was fun to go up there just for the night and day. We stayed at the university hotel there. I took Kajsa with us but left Trey with my parents.  While Kyle took the GRE, Kajsa and I slept till 9:15!! Missed the hotel breakfast so we ate at McDonalds. Then we drove around town and walked around the temple. It was a beautiful temple and a very pretty city.  Kyle and I are holding our hands up in a "Y" shape underneath the Aggie's "A" :)

We also had a camp out in my parents back yard. We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores and then Trey, Kyle and I slept outside in the tent.  Kajsa slept in the house with my parents. We slept without the cover over the tent so we could see the stars.  It was beautiful!! My parents live away from city lights so we had a pretty good view. Trey decided that he didn't like s'mores because they are sticky and he does not like any food on his hands at all.  It was fun and we made a good memory with Trey.
