Kaiya's new Favorite Thing

Walking in Circles, she does it until she falls over, then gets up and does it again haha.

Christmas

So Christmas was spread out over a few days for us. First when Brett's sister Karie and her husband came in town from Utah we openeded some of our presents with them and let Kaiya open some too. You can tell Kaiya really liked what she got because later that night at 11pm I thought she was sleeping, heard a noise and went in their to find her sitting in bed with her sit and spin and blocks. Silly Girl. Then the night before we left for Brett's parents house He and I opened the rest of our presents to eachother. That way we didn't have to load them up in our already over packed car. I got lots of nice stuff from Brett, shirts, hat, purse lots of fun stuff. I think the best present I got Brett though was his Red Ryder BB gun. The look on his face when he opened it was priceless. Then we spent the rest of the time with Brett's family, which is always a lot of fun and a lot of noise :). Kaiya has been so moody lately so the pictures show many different sides to her. You can also check out the cute pj's made her for Christmas eve. Christmas morning was fun to see her open presents. But we woke her up early to open with her cousins so she was in a pretty bad mood. Anyways I will let the pictures tell the rest.

Kaiya telling Aunt Karie everything she got for Christmas

Kaiya's first Bubble Bath

and she was scared of the bubbles. At one point she was standing in a circle surrounded by bubbles and wouldn't move. Sad to laugh at your kids fears, but it was pretty funny.

What a good dog!

That's all I need to say about this video.

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Today we went and got our tree...YAY! There is a place called Lewis's Farm right by our house. We went and picked out our tree. After finding an awesome tree we went in and had homemade ice cream while they wrapped our tree up and tied it to our car. How awesome is that. Brett also picked out some Apple Butter. So we got home and put up the Tree and decorated it. kaiya loves to smack the branches and I just love the smell. Now the house truely is looking a lot like Christmas. I have homemade Bread in the oven to go with the apple butter. I love this time of the year!!

SOOO THANKFUL

I am soo thankful for so many things. I am thankful for Brett and the hard work he does for our family. Not only is he working full time but he is also in school full time right now pulling straight A's. If that wasn't enough he still makes time to help me out with Kaiya and play with us. He is truely an amazing man. I am also very thankful for Kaiya is always has us laughing. I will post a video of a good example of that. I can't mention the video with out being thankful for such an awesome dog that puts up with all of us, especially Kaiya. I am thank ful for my family and my in-laws who are awesome!. I am thankful for a place to live and always finding a way to get by. I love my Heavenly Father and I am so grateful for all that he gave. I am thankful for Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. Brett's parents went to Hawaii, so we didn't get to see them. But we still went to their house and ment up with some of Brett's sisters to eat. Kaiya had fun with her cousins. I had fun baking/cooking for 3 days. All of the food tasted soo good. Life is GOOD!!

Happy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! It was so cute to see Kaiya catch on to trick or treating. First we went to the church for trunk or treat. After a few cars she caught on quickly and would run up and look for the basket of candy. Then after we came back to our street and trick or treated with some friends. Kaiya would run up to the doors and work her way to the bowl. She would take FOREVER to figure out what she wanted. It's funny whenever there were smarties she would always end up with those. Afterwards we came back to our house where we had a bunch of friends over to play games and just hang out. My friend brought over a fog bubble machine and the kids had hours of fun with it. Especially Kaiya. It was such a fun night.

Scentsy Kick Off

So I had my scentsy Kick off party to start out my new business. We had lots of yummy food (HOMEMADE: raspberry cheesecake, german chocolate cake, banana bread,fruit skewers, sasage balls, apples and carmal sauce, salsa and salmon dip). I had lots of things to smell, but best of all us girls got to hang out and just be girls. For those of you who don't know what scentsy is check it out. www.scentsy.com/emilyshurtleff.

Sewing

So I decided the other day I need a new hobby. So I got a sewing machine..YAY I got a pattern for some pj's and decided just to see if I could make something. Well I think they turned out pretty good. I did mess up a few things and my lines aren't the straightest but oh well. Guess I will just keep trying :)
