New York II

There are sandy beaches in NY-I never knew that.  I put Kyla's feet into the wet sand and she really did not like it, she better start to like it because I have two more beach trips this summer.

Kyla sitting on the sheet, her favorite thing was to try to pull up the sheet and try to get the sand.  Oh yeah- the blurry spot on the pic is a certain someone who refused to let anyone see this pic with he or she in it.

Little Italy which is my favorite place.  I love pasta!

Im trying to get Kyla to hold a bottle by herself so I leave her with a juice bottle.  For some reason she doesn't like to touch it so she gets very creative. 

I actually think this pic is adorable.  Kyla was trying to eat the flowers in central park, Jake intervened and it made Kyla upset-those flowers looked tasty!

Just finished breastfeeding at Hard Rock in the queen chair.  Kyla is quite a traveler and can nurse anywhere including on top of a double decker bus.  

Grandma holding sleeping Kyla in a 3 story Vitoria Secret building while I shopped.  It was awsome.

Groovy

Ooooouuueeeee Now dont I belong in an attractive family! For my birthday June 4th I got a card from my Grandma and Grandpa McRae that had these pic in it. My favorite is the mustaches my Grandpa and uncle Brett are sporting. If your wondering what is wrong with my baby pic I'll tell you- The Docs shaved my beautiful black hair (just in the front) so they could put an IV in. Anyway I thought these pics were too good to keep to myself.

I do have to comment on my mom. She looks like the second youngest person in this pic. I now know where my sis Kaylee gets her young look from...Wow. The bangs make me giggle especially since I know how much hair in her eyes drive her crazy!!

This is my actual B-Day the big 25. Half way to 50. Yay. Sadley I got mastitis the day before so I was sick as hell. Lucky for me I have the worlds greatest mom who came up and pampered me and Kyla for a couple days since Seth works ALL THE TIME. My mom took some family pics but Kyla is the only photographic one in the family, as you can tell by my blog. Seth and I did make it to a movie that night- Indiana Jones. It was fun to go on a date with my hubby, it had been awhile.

MADDNESS

So if you wonder why I'm looking haggerd here is why: I have 13 dogs living in my kitchen, yes 12 are puppies but I'm still allergic to them no matter how cute they are. Kyla and are are currently sick with a nasty cold/cough (she is a champ and haddles a runny nose, fever, and cough much better than I do). Roxy isn't the brightest mother, either that or she just has more than she can haddle, and frequently rolls on the dogs which is certian death for them if Seth or I do not rescue them. This means that during the night I get up around every hour; Seth and I take every other night for puppie dutie unless I'm at work. Lately at work (how fitting that its a psychiatric unit) we have been completely full-busy even during the middle of the night. Sometimes I wonder why Im the nurse and not the patient hahahah. Anyway back to my puppie drama. Roxy does her best to feed them but they need to be "suplemented" that means bottles-unfourtunately I can only bottle feed one puppie at a time. They funny thing is is that I dont want to spend money on puppie formula (yes there is such a thing) so the vet said I can use my breastmilk. I will explain this further I have an entire freezer full of the stuff. Kyla is into spoons and hates bottles so if Im lucky I can use about one frozen bag a day. Needless to say the milk will go bad before I can use it so it goes to the dogs. If I would have known all my hard pumping work in Feb would go to this. So Im a bit sleepdeprived because of the above and because Seth is super busy with his work-shouldn't complain- so when I get home from work Kyla wakes up and I dont get to go to bed till Seth is home (sometimes that is at 8pm) which makes it up to 36 hours sometimes without sleeping (I do try to sleep when she does but she really only cat naps so its hard). Anyway Im done venting despite what I may sound like, I really do love my life..most days.....

At least Im surrounded by cuteness, I love it when they sleep on their backs!

This is one of the things Seth has been working on, it's a design for the Hyrum park that is going to go in a block from our house YAY.

We spent some time outside and Kyla learned she loved to pick flowers, most were crushed in her death grip but I managed to rescue this one. Then I put her in front of mirror on the floor and she laughed at herself for quite some time I think she is getting vain- Im probably to blame.

HURRAY FOR PUPPIES!

On May 21 Roxy gave birth to 12 puppies! There are 5 black and 7 brown (and I like to think of having one REALLY big white puppie) Females: 4black and 3brown Males: 1black and 4brown They are all a good size and seems to be very hungry. Poor Roxy has 2 inverted nipples (anyone know what to do about that?) and is altogether missing a nipple too. They are just sooooo cute and soft.

Kyla was suprised when the little puppie stated to try to nurse her.

Seth and I were watching a movie and it was time for Kyla to go to bed so Seth put the movie on pause and took her to her room. I heard Kylas favorite CD turn on (not unusual it seems to help her sleep), but then when about 5 minutes went by and Seth did not return, I got curious. This is what I found, Seth wearing a wig and Kyla in her new nerdie sun hat, dancing around to Aerosmith.

Is it ever to early for Halloween?????

I found this wig in my craft box I was cleaning out and I decieded I (or should I say Kyla) needed to have some fun.

Kyla's Happy Place

You may not notice but ROXY IS PREGNANT!!!! She is getting very fat and hungry. Puppies should be here May 23, 2008 Josh (my uncle) thinks the litter will be half brown and half black, even though we mated her with a yellow lab. He explained all the genetic gargen that I wont go into.
