My baby turned 2!!!!

So my baby just turned 2! So crazy! Time is flying by. She is so much fun though! You can pretty much have a full on conversation with her. She talks so well. Even the doctor was impressed by how well she talks. She is just a smartie I guess. I don't take credit for doing anything special to teach her. I think I owe it all to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Dora... :) At her 2 year appointment she weighs 33 lbs and is 34 inches tall!! She is our chubba wubba!! :) So for her birthday we were just going to have a little get together in our back yard at our new place. But then the forecast called for rain, so we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese instead. It was lots of fun! All of our family was there! Kyri really enjoyed spending time with everyone. We just had butterfly cupcakes, played games, and enjoyed each others company. All in all it was a great day. :) Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. :)
Here is a little picture journey of Kyri!!

Finally.... A real blog post!

So it has been a long time since I really posted anything on my blog. I don't know what happened. I use to be so addicted to blogging, but lately not so much.... Well here is a little update on our family. Kyri will be 2 in May. Where did the last 2 years go?? She is growing up way to fast. But she is so much fun. She makes me laugh all day long. Yesterday we went outside to play for a little while and she saw some birds fly over her and she goes, "Birdies!" and I smiled and said "Yep!" Then she goes, "I talka birdies" me,"you are going to talk to the birdies?" her, "uh huh!" then she waited for a minute and then yelled at the top of her lungs, "BIRDIE!!!!" Maybe it really isn't all that funny unless you were there. :) To me it was funny. She is just a BIG ball of energy! She loves to be outside. I can't wait till it is warmer so we can be out there more often. She does love to play in her jumpy jump and watch movies in her room though. Me and Brandon are still the same. He still works at IM Flash, and I babysit about 2-3 times a week. We still live in Orem, but spend most of our time in American Fork. :) Why we ever decided to buy a house in Orem I don't know. But we are loving life, even though we have a bit of a tragedy happen in the last week. Most of you know that we found out about a month ago that we were going to have baby #2. We were excited and told everyone fairly early. Over that month, I have felt fine. No morning sickness, not a ton of nausea, nothing to complain about. Well a couple fridays ago i started to spot just a tiny bit. But I didn't think anything was wrong, because the next day nothing happened. Then again on Sunday it happen a tiny bit again, so I decided to call the dr on Monday morning and see what they said to do. They set me up an appointment for Tuesday to have an ultra sound just to make sure everything was ok. So I went into my appointment thinking nothing was wrong. That we were just going to go in and see our baby and then be ok. Well, that didn't happen. The ultrasound showed the baby measuring at 6 weeks, not the 9 that it should have been. So the lady asked is there a possibility that your dates are off? Well, sure? I don't know. Anything is possible. So then after the ultrasound, we had an appointment to meet with the dr to go over the ultrasound. As he looked at it, he said, i'm so sorry. It looks like you have had a miscarriage. He said that there wasn't anything that we needed to do now, so that we could wait and check in a couple of weeks again and see if there was any change. So we decided that we wanted to wait. He also had me go and get some blood drawn so they could check my HCG levels. So I had my blood drawn on tuesday and then had to go back in on Thursday to have it done again. So they FINALLY called on friday after playing the waiting game forever and informed us that the levels had gone down which ment bad news. So all in all if none of that made sense, I did lose the baby. It hasn't been easy, I am definately sad. Very very sad. But I know that it happened for a reason and that Heavenly Father knew what he was doing, by letting me get pregnant and there is something to learn by going through this. I am so thankful for all my family and friends who have been here with me through this tough time. I am so thankful for my knowledge of the gospel, and for my Heavenly Father. I know that he wouldn't put me through anything that I can't handle. No matter how hard it is. I am sorry to all of you who may find out through reading this post. I wish I could have called all of you to tell you, but so many people knew, and telling the story over and over is really hard. I couldn't have done it over and over. So I hope you understand and aren't hurt that I didn't call you or text you the news. I am doing fine though. I am ready to move forward and continue my life. I am grateful for my husband and for my baby girl who have made this whole thing much easier. I love you all and appreciate all the love and support from all of you!

Chique Boutique

Here are the details for the boutique I am doing! Make sure you come and visit me!!

Christmas.....

Ok, so I am a little behind the times here. But hey, better late than never. We had a good Christmas this year. Considering Brandon had to work from 630am-630pm. Kyri got super spoiled by everyone. She got a play kitchen, a bouncey horsey, and a mini trampoline with enclosure just to name the big things. She got MANY other things that she loves, but those were the highlights!! Especially the jumpy jump as she calls it. She loves that thing. It now lives in her bed room where it takes up half the room. But it is so worth it because it keeps her very entertained!! We put a tv and dvd player in there for her also and so she will sit for hours and jump and watch Dora. :) It is a very good babysitter. Especially for the days I need to get stuff done!! She recently has wanted to lay in it with her pillow and blanket. She sometimes takes naps in there now. She is a silly goose! She is very good at jumping now!! :) Gavin got to come to Utah for Christmas, so that was fun! He has been living in Arizona with his real dad for over a year now. It was fun to get to spend more time with him. I can't believe he is 6 already! We went to dinner the first night he got home and had lots of fun with everyone. Kyri especially had fun with him. We miss him lots now that he is gone. Not much has changed around here. Brandon is still working at IM Flash, I babysit 2 little kids about 3 days a week. Kyri is just growing like a weed. She talks so much now. She is growing up too fast. I am going to be doing a boutique on Jan 29th and 30th with our Sew Simply Sweet stuff. My sister in law has started to make hand stamped jewelery and I will hopefully have some of that there. I will also be selling my aunts super cute crochet headbands with flowers on them, along with all the other stuff we have. Like the car seat covers, the dresses, crayon roll ups, and super cute fabric flower clips. When I know the address I will post it. You all should come out and see me. It will either be in Lehi or Eagle Mtn. Well here are some pictures of Christmas and dinner with Gavin! Enjoy!

Us @ Chilis for dinnerKyri's 1st Trax ride! She was super tired!

We said goodbye to our bunny right before Christmas. As much as we loved him he wasn't getting the attention he deserved! So we gave him to our good friend Hollie who has 3 older kids to love him and take good care of him. As greatful as I was to see him go to a good home, I still cried when Kyri was saying bye to him!! This is her doing that. Christmas Eve at Maimes house.

Christmas morning we did Santa at Grandma Arlenes house.
After she got to open presents in the morning she thought every present she saw was hers. :)

Part of our Arizona trip.

We went to Arizona for a few days and while we were there we went to this animal refuge place. They had a ton of tigers, a lion, and other wild cats. They had monkeys and alot of other animals. It was really hot that day and we were out in the middle of the desert so there wasn't much shade. But we did find a little spot where there were some benches and also these baby deers that were rescued from people who took them from the wild. They were so cute. The one was our friend after a little bit. He kept sucking on fingers. The guy who takes care of them came out when we were by them and he brought them out some bottles so we got to try to feed them but they didn't really want to eat. Even though the one kept sucking on our fingers. All in all it was fun. It was fun to spend time with Gavin after not seeing him for almost a year!

Kyri and the pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch last night with my dad. We had lots of fun. It was rainy the whole way there but once we got out and went looking it stopped and ended up being perfect. I forgot my camera so I only got pictures on my phone which doesn't take very good pictures but here they are.

She was in punkin heaven!!

She found lots of little pumpkins to put in our wheelbarrow.

This is her favorite one. She wanted to take it into dinner with us afterwards. She keeps saying punkin, punkin!!

My silly little girl

So since I have started making my car seat covers, I had to get our carrier car seat out. Well Kyri has decided to use it as her own little chair. The other day I was making a tutu and she sat in it to watch her all time favorite movie, Mickey Mouse Club House Adventures in Wonderland, and next thing I looked over and she was out. Silly girl. We watch this movie about 7-10 times a day i swear. She will just randomly start singing the song that they sing on there. Or go around saying "OH TOODLES" She is pretty much obsessed.
