New Baby

So we moved and I had a new baby! Bryce weight at birth was 8lbs 8oz and 20.5 inches. Labor was significantly shorter this time only 2.5 hours from when I was induced till he was born! Everything is going good he sleeps a lot during the day so I can get stuff unpacked. Bryce is 3wks now and weights 11.5 lbs and is 23.5 inches. An inch and a pound a week, not bad but he does eat every 2 hours.

Pioneer day with Grandma and Grandpa McRae. There was a little parade and neighborhood get together wich was fun. Then lots of fireworks that night.

Kyla laying out at the pool.

pics of kyla 4th of July

We went to get professional pics taken and she was very upset by the whole thing. Once the photo man left she did find a chair and a bucket that she had to climb into. Ill post the actuall pics of her when I get them back.

Kyla is now 18months! She is in the 67% for height and the 15% for weight. So Im supposed to make her eat more.

On the 4th we didnt do much since Im going to get induced in the morning. Just a relaxing afternoon. This is Kyla chasing ducks by a shallow cannal ***Note to grandparents Seth is RIGHT BY her and prevents any danger of her falling into the cannal.

Kylas 4th of July clothes..yes Im one of "those moms". She loves to sit in my massage chair and says "its funny" about every 5 sec while she sitts there.

Changes Changes

Kyla eating chocolate. She has an obsession. However it is a "Fiber One" granola bar so it makes me feel a little better giving into her demands.

Kyl a with her faithful friends "Bunny" and "Poe" most likly watching Kungfu Panda while I pack.

Kyla and Seth sharing an ice cream cone. After it was gone she cried for about 30min. I dont know if it was worth it.

Cub River puddle splashing. She is slowly getting over her fear of dirt. You really cant be the daughter of a landscaper if you scared of dirt.

Seth fishing at our campsite at the Cub. Notice how fast the river is going compared to its usual in Sept. We left earily cause there was a nice storm coming and there were flash flood warning for this area on the radio as we drove home.

SO now for the family update.

Seth has graduated from school finally and we decided Cache Valley didn't have much to offer in his line of work. So Seth and my dad are "joining forces" and will be working together starting very soon. Which means we are SELLING OUR HOUSE. It makes me a little sad...it's our house. (So if anyone is wishing to live in Hyrum let me know)

I am still pregnant thankfully and hopefully will be till the fall. However since my due date is in the begining of July this will probably not be possible. My doc informed me at my last viset that I am ahead of schedual as far as dilation/effacement stuff go and I probably only have 1-2 weeks left. He was confused when I was upset but it is so much easier to pack, clean, and find a new place to live while I am pregnant! Once babycakes comes out, Ill be even more useless. So hopefully Im late still. Like by 2-3wks late..,...after we sell our house.....and move......and Seth starts working down in Orem... Anyway. I put in my two weeks notice at work. Crazy! I dont know what I will do with myself. It will be weird not having a job but I am very excited to be able to stay at home with the kiddies.

Kyla is doing good just turned 18m so she will start nursery this week. YAY! She got a little spoiled when she was having her 105.0 fevers a week or so ago and is now trying to adjust back to not getting to watch tv (kungfu panda) when she wants and eat pudding/popcilces for meals etc. She is pretty excited by all the moving stuff but can unpack a box as quick as I pack one. So helpful.

Lots of Easter Pictures

Once again pics are out of order. The above is Kyla getting distracted by the flowers at Grandma Bockholts house. She kept picking them if eggs were'nt readily avalible. I just love her new Easter dress as well. She looked like a little angle.

Now at my parents she morphs into a crazy chocolate eating gobblin. The headband and glasses she got in her basket and she LOVED to wear them. This is the egg hunt at my parents.

Egg hunting with Grandma B

Kyla and her cousin Katryn getting ready to find those eggs. (Kyla has no idea what to do at this point but likes the attention Katryn is a little more prepared)

Easter basket happieness! All her little presents didnt even fit in the basket. Maybe next year Ill have more self control...or get a bigger basket.

Easter morning. Drooling chocolate.

Forgot to fix this pic oops. Kyla loved coloring and putting stickers on the eggs. She had TONs of fun with this.

Seth and I decided to color over 5 dozen eggs and Kyla to decorate them. Luckily my family really loves easter eggs. I think my dad ate a dozen that night.

Graduations

You can tell they are thinking the same thing- why dont I stop taking pictures!

Seth will be graduating in 2 weeks! He'll actually be done with school on Thursday of this week. We are so thrilled. If anyone wants to come to his graduation ceremony leave a commit and Ill get you the detials.

On Easter weekend my little sister graduated in Elemetary Ed and her husband Scott in Bus. Management. We are very happy for them. Unfortunatly Kyla tried to eat my camera before this (the only pic I got) was taked so its blurry.
