My Kaiyenna!



Last night for dinner we had my favorite...Mac & Cheese with hamburger and tomatoes. It's delicious. Well Joey fed Kaiyenna while I fed Keydran rice. After Joey got done feeding Kaiyenna, she didn't believe it was already gone. Even though her bowl is a see through plastic. So Joey gave her her bowl and she carefully inspected it. But to mine and Joey's surprise, there must have been more in there. Because Kaiyenna started eating more and going mmmm. Yeah...she was pretend eating. It was funny. Then today, I put Kaiyenna down for her nap. After a few minutes, I could hear her talking so I went in there to put her back down, and it's a good thing too. She had taken off her pants and also her diaper, and she was sitting on her bed and laughing when I walked in to see her half naked. It's a good thing that she didn't poop, or that there was nothing in her diaper. Good thing I changed her diaper right before she went down. All though that doesn't really mean anything.

What a weekend.

We started off our weekend with the baptism of our friend, Nephi. Morgan, Nephi's wife, asked my sister Angela to sing, but Angie didn't want to sing by herself so she asked me to join her, with my brother Braden playing the guitar.

Well I had my Brook White moment with forgetting the lyrics and starting over again. After the restart we did pretty good. Angie was going to introduce me as Brook White to break the ice, but she decided not to. I enjoyed singing even though, according to Joey, I turned ghost white while I sang. I get nervous I guess.
On saturday we went to Kneaders and had their all you can eat french toast. (not every Kneaders, just the one in Herriman.) With Joey's little sister Cassie and her man slave Eric. After that we went shopping. We were in serious need of food. So we went to Smith's. After that Joey dropped me at home with the kids so he could go to Costco and fill our car with water. I cleaned out the whole fridge. It was kind of dirty. As I got done with that I started to feel a migraine coming on. So after Joey got home I went up stairs to try and sleep it off. After about a 1/2 hour I woke up to the sound of Keydran screaming to eat. As I go down stairs I see my poor husband exhausted and frustrated on the couch holding screaming Keydran. I go in the kitchen to find Kaiyenna ON the table. How she got on there...? It's one of those high tables and chairs. My head was pounding, so I took Keydran while I had Joey take care of the little monkey. As I fed Keydran, Joey put Kaiyenna in time out. And Then took his frustration out on putting the rest of the groceries away. After I was done nursing, I felt the urge to vomit. So I ran into the bathroom. Feeling quite better afterward. My headache seemed to have gone away after that, giving me an appetite. Which was nice. All I had eaten that day was breakfast. And I needed food. That was a good way to end the night. Sunday morning came and my headache started to come back. So I took some Ibuprofen and drank some coke, it was gone before I knew it. I was very grateful, I really wanted to go to church. I hadn't been for a while. The week before I was riding home from St. George and the week before that I was up in the hospital with Kaiyenna. So after arriving to church...5 mins late, we had to sit in the second row, for everywhere else was full. Kaiyenna was so funny. She was mimicking the music leader by waving her arm in the air. But that didn't hold her attention long and before I knew it, I was wondering the halls with her. After a few minutes, the classes from the other ward were letting out and the hall were filling up with people. Kaiyenna go excited and started running down the hall. She kind of lost her balance and fell. Hurrying to get up, she started running, she must not have been paying attention to the boy a couple of feet in front of her and ran right into him and bounced back a few inches. It was really funny. Everyone was all right of course. Finally sacrament was over and we took Kaiyenna to nursery. Excited to play with the toys, she went with out a fuss, or even a goodbye kiss. Off to sunday school Joey and I went. I was nursing Keydran in the mothers room for most of that. I got Keydran to sleep for the last 5 minutes of sunday school and the first few minutes of Relief Society. After his little power nap he woke up with a ton of energy. I put him on the ground to kick for a while, them he got fussy cause he had to fart. So, I put him on my lap to help him. He then tried to kick himself so his head was hanging upside down off my knees. So I put him upside down holding him against my stomach. I felt in better control that way. But anytime I put him right side up he would start crying, So I would put him upside down again and he would start laughing. It was funny. Church was good and I really enjoy going. It's nice to have a life out side of babies, and to talk to people. All in all, it was a pretty good weekend, besides the vomiting part. Thats never good.

Scrapbooking

I've been trying to get pictures together to scrapbook our wedding album. They are all on discs of course, but I happened upon 2 photos that made me laugh. Our photographer was trying to shade us from the sun. He put his sheet over us to block the sun...see how it worked so well. You can't even tell its there. And we didn't have to take a picture of us squinting our eyes.

Like we would send out a picture with us pretend hammering...

or where it looks like I'm pooping in the guys hand and where the other guy is sniffing Joey's fart and where Joey is picking the guys nose...don't you know Joey. You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends nose. It was fun anyways. Whats life with out a little fun, right?

Charlie bit me.



My nephew Mckoy showed this to me when we were in St. George. It's way cute.

I've been home alone now for nearly 5 days. What an odd feeling it's been to be alone. My beautiful wife ran off with our two beautiful children to enjoy a short vacation in St. George with her sister and some friends. The house has been so silent. I miss hearing the cries of my beautiful babies, and the scorns of a loving wife encouraging me to get off my duff and do something aside from watching Jazz Basketball (It's playoff time, so only a few more weeks of Jazz Basketball to suffer through honey. I love you!)

I've tried to keep myself busy, with softball, golfing and most of all working. I spent Friday evening at work until Saturday morning at 1:00 am. A 16 hour workday??? I must be going nuts.

As I sit here and type this post, all I hear is the humming of our tiny silver fan on our dresser and the creaking of the black rocking chair on which my duff is resting. It's lonesome...But I'm excited!!! My family returns home to me this evening. It will be nice to wrap my arms around my wife and kids. I can't wait for the sweet kisses and tight squeezes from each of them. I have been blessed with the most perfect family and hope they know how much I truly do love them. I have learned this past week that my life would be absolutely miserable without them. It's as if a piece of me has been missing.

To my wife and kids...I look forward to seeing you this evening. I love you. I hope you had fun without me (not too much though...I'm not sure I could handle another 5 day stint without seeing any of you).

I miss you and I love each of you Super SMUCH!!!
