Kiera gets to go to the BYU game!

So, last Saturday we all got up and put on our BYU game day attire and was headed out to show it off at Sam's Club when I get a phone call.  It was from my parents, they had two extra tickets to go to the BYU game, and my Dad would be able to pick us up in about 20 min.  So we jumped at the chance and started working out what Kiera and I would need in order to go to the game.  It was cold and I didn't want Kiera to use her nice new Jacket at the game, so we got in our car and went to Walgreen's so that she could show up in true BYU fan attire. We got her a sweatshirt and some stickers to put on her face. We got back to our house just in time to find my Dad waiting for us and for it to start raining.  Kiera and I loaded up and headed up to my parents to pick up my Mom.  There we got some blankets and ponchos.  Luckily the rain only lasted a few minutes into the First Quarter. Here is a picture of Kiera in her big green poncho ( from back in the day.  It is a Carroll High School Band poncho, oh the good 'ol days).

Once it stopped raining we got the poncho off Kiera, it warmed up, and she started to have a little more fun. She was able to dance to the music and watch the game.  We even got to go get hot chocolate together.  Over all I think she enjoyed the experience and I guess you could say that Jason and I are doing a good job  and brain washing our children.  Kiera already cheers them on, "BYU, BYU, GOOOOOO COUGARS" and gets excited about her BYU shirt and sweatshirt.


Well here she is once she got the Poncho off:

Wheeler Historic Farm

So my Mom found coupons for Wheeler Historic Farm that let us go and do the hay maze, wagon ride, and pumpkin patch all for only 3.50.  So she bought us the tickets and we went about a week ago.  It was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed going and running around, seeing the animals, and Rylan specially enjoyed the pumpkin patch. We went with Jason's brother and his family.  It was a good experience for anyone with little kids.  There were some other things you could do, but that cost more money. Here are some pics.

Got to love trying to get pictures out of children

Rylan did NOT want to take pictures with us. He wanted to be on the move.

Oct 8, 2010 - Kiera's Bday!

So I can't believe I've had Kiera in my life for 3 full years now. She is so much fun, she is just amazing.  I'm so blessed to have her. I can't believe how much she has grown!  Look at her in her first weeks!

And now look at her!

Some of the cute things she says to me: I give her lunch or a snack, and I get, "Mom your the best!"  Something else she does sometimes is we are just sitting around, watching tv or something and suddenly she'll say "I'm your princess" or something along those lines.  She has suddenly gotten a lot more into playing dress up and pincess's.  She still loves Mickey Mouse and her Baby dolls, but now we can add barbie dolls and her fisher price dolls that she got for her birthday.  She loves her little brother and the other day was informing me that he was her "honey." 

For her birthday Jason took the day off which was really nice.  We got some shopping done, where we bought Kiera some new clothes and then went to McDonalds for lunch at the birthday girls request.  After naps we decided to take Kiera up to the mountains. She continues to ask about fishing and camping.  We didn't do either but we were hopping it would satisfy her.  Here are the pictures we took up there.

She really does know to pose for the camera when she wants to

 After that we hooked up with Jason's brother Dustin and his wife Rena. They got her a back full of gifts that included a Happy Birthday balloon that she loved, sunglasses, a tutu, fairy wings, and a candy necklace.  You can see the candy necklace in this picture.

We all went out to Cafe Rio for dinner and then back to our place for presents and cake.  Kiera loved her birthday presents, at first I think she was a little dissapointed, there wasn't very many presents to wrap. 

 Then Mommy brought out the big gift. It was a doll house with a lot of little dollhouse pieces.  She loved it and started playing with it right away.  The next morning when she came to wake us up she even brought the tub full of pieces into our bedroom with her.
