KiNLee 9 MONTHS!!! ...AND...

Peyt thought he was funny crawling in bed with Kinlee :) He was!
We went to Miya's bday party...Nachelle nailed the balloon making!!! Kin wasn't a fan! :) ha
We heard her in talking then she stopped so we went to check on her after the boys went to bed...she must have talked herself to sleep :) how uncomfortable!
little Photog session! We tried taking the boys to the Christmas devotional for our Stake...they lasted about 0 seconds! haha we tried....

love my peyt!
NINE MONTHS!!!!!!! AHHHH! going by too fast...
She is healthy:
16 LBS 5 oZ -10%
27 IN tall - 31%

She is fun as ever!!! She LOVES her binki at bedtime...she has started crawling...still nails "dada" but no "mama" really. Absolutely LOVES her brothers! She had her second girl babysitter from the ward. and the boys said she loved her and Aryan made her laugh tons! She loves CHEESE! She loves feeding herself cheese sandwiches and PB&J sandwiches!

Drew wanted to take a pic...thought it twas cute! I love having a girl!
My grandpa is still fading...Peyt painted this for him. A sun to brighten his day since he can't see the sun in his Hospital room. When I took it to him, he smiled. I really think it brightened his day! He loved it. Ps...peyt says that is me and my grandpa :)
Drews pic!
Then we made egg carton flowers for him too!

My grandpa is tough, he is fighting...his Birthday is on Christmas...I am hoping he can make it to his birthday. The other night when we went to see him, I asked him to choose his fav Christmas song and we would sing it to him, he chose Happy Birthday! haha Loved it. I love that everytime I visit him he will hold and squeeze my hand. I love these precious minutes we get with him!

Reality

Everything is "ok" so far, BUT going to see my cute Grandpa in the hospital today just puts things into perspective, into what life is, reality. My grandpa has pulled through so many times, over and over again. But I can say that I haven't seen him look this worn, tired and weak. He has pneumonia, his heart is weak, and sounds like his body is just failing. A little bit ago, he was in the hospital, I went to see him and asked how old he was, he said "I will be 92 on my next Birthday, on Christmas Day!" He's gotta make it to his birthday. So today I asked him what he wants for his Birthday, he just pointed his finger and said "To get out of here". This cute man, is laying in his bed today, so weak, hooked up with so many wires(at least it looked like to me!) and the first thing he says to me is asking about my baby, not wanting the attention on him. Because he is thoughtful of others. My grandpa is really such an amazing strong man. I remember asking him once the advice he could give me, he said "Stay close to the Lord." as his eyes filled with tears, I could feel his strength and the true love he has for him. Reality is, cherish the ones you love, before it's too late. I wish I could say I am soooo close to my grandpa, that we hang out and see them all time but I don't, but whenever I do see him I love to get a hug and see the "sparkle" in his eye and hear him say "ohhh!" and feel the love he has for me and I for him. I love you Grandpa, I hope you can pull through yet again...but more than anything I want you to be happy and healthy! You are amazing! I love that as weak as you seemed today, you didn't lessen the grip on my hand, that when I squeezed your hand, you squeezed mine right back. Thanks for being you and don't stop fighting!

F*R*i*e*N*d*S

A DReAm come TRUE!!!

FINALLY!!! :) For Tysons 30th Birthday, I saved all my extra pennies to surprise him with the Golf Trip of his dreams! To California to play Pebble Beach! The prices had been outrageous for a while since the Masters or something were there so they finally came down a little bit and with the help of my Awesome Uncle Troy, we got the reservations made! YEA! Tys had invited 3 others, but Bruce was the only one who could join him! I am PRETTY SURE they enjoyed their time away!
Tys didn't wake up from his alarm...haha but this is them heading out early for their flight!
I haven't gotten any details on these pics, cause we're letting tys sleep... :)
Tys actually served his mission in California, so they went and drove through his mission and stayed at one of his converts house for one night. I do remember him saying they went to the In-n-Out where his addiction began! :)
BEAUTIFUL!!!
At their hotel, The Inn at Spanish Bay (?) They would turn down their bed and leave them a chocolate and water before bed! haha
I thought these were funny pics! They didn't even sit in different chairs but posed in the same one.
BUT how nice to have a fireplace IN THEIR ROOM!

I think this is the day they played at their 2nd of 4 courses...Spy Glass

PEBBLE BEACH DAY!



The LOckeR room of the pros...I"m pretty sure :)
There is most of his amazing trip! There are more pics...JUST SOOOO glad he finally got to go! It is so awesome that I could give him one of his dreams! I loved that. Something I could actually save up for! haha LOve you babe, glad you had fun! and thanks for joining him Bruce!

Little Dylan and Drew get to play every week! I thought this one was cute!

On Monday our awesome friends the Thompsons invited us to the Layton Lights...Tys was held up away so they had the kiddos and me ride with them! We thought it was funny Shaun crawled right in the back so we could all fit! ha thanks SHAUN! :)

AND HOLY CRAP!!!! I could not believe the destruction the wind did today!!! So I had to share some!
Peyt liked the stop sign upside down :)

Seriously, how do trees this huge just come out of the ground?!!?
Drew really wanted his pic with this one! I thought it was awesome, I figured since it was a historical event I wanted to take the kids through the main streets of Kaysville and Farmington to see it all. It was crazy!!! Glad nobody has been hurt, according to my FIL who is a Firefighter in Farmington. He has just been awake since 3 AM he said taking calls from all the wind!
