GO AGGIES!!!!

This was Kyla's first Aggie home game. The pics aren't very good because I took them with my phone.



She liked watching for Big Blue and doing some of the cheers, but by the second half she was kind of bored. Good thing Josh came with us. Josh took her to give Big Blue a high five and he gave her a thumbs up which she thought was pretty cool.

Tumbling

So, we enrolled Kyla in a community tumbling class. It's pretty low speed but I think she has fun. This probably sounds awful but we kept giggling at the things she was doing. Like for some reason everytime she sat down after her turn was done she'd pull her arms inside her shirt.

Six Things

Okay, I normally don't do these kind of things, but it was kind of fun reading everyone elses, so here goes. Six things you may or may not know about me:

One: I love to take baths. There is nothing better than sitting in boiling hot water (with or without scented oils) and just relaxing for a few minutes.

Two: I love taking naps. I work very hard to coordinate my children's nap schedules so I can lay down for a few minutes during the day. I'm starting to sound like a very lazy person.

Three: I love traveling. It's so great to see and learn about new places. The weird thing is I always get at least a little anxiety before traveling but I always love it when I get to where I'm going.

Four: I love scuba diving. I've only been a couple of times but it is so cool.

Five: I've biked through part of the Austrian Alps. I don't remember how far we went but I do remember that I was out of shape. The smokers in our group were passing me.

Six: I was once proposed to in a restraunt in England with a gummy ring. So the ring wasn't real and of course neither was the proposal. I was so embarrassed.

After Tick of Treating

We didn't get any pics of Ky out trick or treating with her friend Audrey (smack to the head). This was after at Brent's parents house.
Kyla giving some princess attitude.
Her tiara was the same one I wore on my wedding day.
Caden really hated his costume but it kept him warm while going door to door.
After all her hard work, Ky was ready to dig into her candy.

Hickman Land Title really got in the 'spirit' of things

What can I say...my family really likes to dress up for Halloween and we've passed it on to our employees.
This is my sister Heather. Her husband might say her costume wasn't much of a stretch;).
This is my sister Suzanne with her dog Molly, who was play an extra large version of Toto.
These are mostly employees. Playing grandma Adams on the back row is my Aunt Marion, my cousin Deon is Lurch, and my brother Jim is Uncle Fester.

The Annual Cousin Halloween Party

These pictures were taken at our Gibbons (that's my mom's maiden name) family Halloween party. My parents sent up game in their big garage and the kids play and get candy. Then my mom and Aunt Marion feed us.
This is Kyla with her cousin Elysa.
Caden wasn't real sure about my sister Kristeen's costume.
Kyla and her cousin Cardon(who wouldn't smile).
Caden is supposed to be an oatmeal bear, but Brent told everyone he was an Ewok. Josh was dressed as a high school boy (eye roll here).
Caden got sick of his costume really quick and just wanted to sit with Grandpa Hickman.

Halloween Cookies

On monday we went to Kassey's house to decorate Halloween cookies.Ky put about one scoop of frosting of her cookie......
and then ate it.
I guess that's her artistic freedom.

An apple cidering we will go

We picked 10 bushels of apples.
Then we squished the apples.
End result: 38 gallons of apple cider and one very happy Kyla.

Kyla and Caden's First Pumpkin Walk!!!!

Those of you who didn't grow up in Cache Valley, and more specifically North Logan, may not understand the significance of the Pumpkin Walk. I'm pretty sure I went to the Pumpkin Walk every year growing up. So, I was excited to take my kids for the first time.

The Pumpkin Walk is about 40 different scenes made of Pumpkins, hence the name. If you can't tell, this is Sesame Street.
This made me laugh.
This is Ky's favorite book right now. I couldn't get her to smile because she was getting too cold and tired.

I'm moving up the technology ladder

Okay, so about 9 months ago Brent and I finally made the big step up to camera phones. I know, I know, most people have had camera phones for years, but I never thought we needed such fancy stuff. Well I've been taking pictures here and there, and do you know what I've found. It is so dang convient to be able to take a picture no matter where you are, because I take my phone everywhere. So earlier this week Brent went online and found a super inexpensive micro sd card (Ihave no idea what that stands for) so I could finally pull some of my favorite pics off of my phone. Some of them are really small and grainy because I didn't realize I was taking them at the lowest resolution. Even the best pics are only 1 megapixel, but that's better than not taking a picture at all. So the following posts are some of the back log of photos from my phone. Some are several months old, but I thought I'd post them anyway.

Adventures in Ice Skating

After being in Cub Scouts for a while and seeing how completely uncoordinated most of them were, I've decided I need to start teaching Kyla more physical skills. And what better way to start than at Mom and me ice skating.

Ky wasn't a super big fan at first. I wasn't really sure how to begin teaching her. So most of the time I was pushing her around while she sat on the little walker. Then one of the employee's came over and told me I couldn't do that (lame). She did however tell me a better way to get her started. I guess you're supposed to have them march on the ice, who knew.

What she really liked best was the hot chocolate they gave us when we were done.

Okay, when Kyla first picked up this chick at Baby Animal days, I thought it was dead. It just laid there all limp. As soon as she put it down it ran away. I guess it was just playing dead as a defense mechanism or something.
This Kyla and Meagan at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Just a couple of chicks.
Ky's Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Mike took her to McDonalds and Pet Smart for her birthday (she wanted to go see animals). This was in Pet Smart. Kyla walked right up the employee holding the snake and said "I want to hold that snake." You can't really tell, but her uncle Mike was holding her as far away from himself as possible. Yes, Mike the marine was afraid of the snake, but little 3 year old Kyla wasn't.

This is why I LOVE Logan!!!

This is the only one we took where we were all smiling and looking at the camera. This was taken a few days before the snow came.
I screened this for nudity. I just had to take a picture he was having so much fun and he looked so cute with his hair all crazy.

Caden is getting ready to crawl.

Happy Birthday

~~~~Kyla~~~~

We had pizza with Kyron and Audrey after swimming.
Kyron wanted to make a mean face.

Kyla LOVES playing with her cousins.

Kyla wanted to jump on the trampoline for her birthday.
