Love Story meets Viva La Vida

X-Games Watch Out!

My parents own some land and their neighbors' son spent a lot of time making a bike track on their property. They let Ty come and ride it on Saturday. His first attempt was his best because he didn't know what was coming. He went down and up some pretty big and steep hills. All his attempts that followed were a little more cautious. I'm pretty sure that's backwards from how any other kid would do it. Anyway, he had fun and is looking foward to going back. He's pretty good for having been off training wheels for only a month.

Ty & Kaycieisms

I thought since this blog is also a journal of sorts that I would write down some funny things Ty & Kaycie say so I don't forget.

Kaycie's dad & grandpa were trying to teach her how to ride a bike last weekend and she was getting really frustrated. She said "I just want to be the girl who doesn't know anything!"

When Kaycie was sick a couple weeks before her birthday Ty said very sweetly (in a tone as if he was speaking to a baby), "Don't worry Kaycie, if you're still sick at your birthday we'll save you a piece of cake."

Lucky Kids!

My kids have only ever entered one contest each and they've both won them. I need to buy a lottery ticket with them. Anyway, this time the winner was Kaycie. Sonic Drive-In asked if I wanted to enter her into an easter drawing a couple months back. I had totally forgotten about it. They called me today saying she was the lucky winner and asking us to come pick up her prize. Ty was bummed and I had to remind him that he already won a contest so they were even now. So we get to sonic and I take Kaycie inside and all the workers are smiling and they bring out this huge bunny! It's at least twice the size of Kaycie! She was beaming. She also got a pretty cool prize basket. Anyway, I came walking back to the truck with the huge bunny and the prize basket and Ty just started bawling...he had a serious case of envy. Luckily for him, most of the prizes in the basket were boy things and Kaycie was easily willing to part with them. All she wanted was "Mr. Fluffy".

Stuff Mostly

Man! Where has the time gone? Much has happened since my last blog. Kendall has grown so big and was blessed this last Sunday at home. Scott threw his back out the day before the blessing so we had to call all the family and cancel. Then we decided to still get together since everyone had already prepared food. Our bishop was nice enough to come to our house after church so we could bless her at home. My mother made her dress, my sister Lisa made her bow, my sister Tami made her bracelet and my sister Melanie took the pictures. I'm part of such a wonderful family! Kendall is starting to become an easier baby. She's not nearly as fussy anymore and she's smiling a lot now, mainly when her diaper is getting changed. She loves her diaper changes!

Well, the sale sign is up. We're short-selling, but such is the economy in Arizona right now. If you have to sell and you've been in your home less than 10 years, chances are you have to short sell. We will probably rent somewhere closer to the office or stay with family and save save save! Being a small business owner in this economy is a struggle because it's not steady income. It's definitely got ups and downs. I'm proud of Scott though, he's a good doctor and the patients that come in love him and his staff. We're hoping to keep the business afloat until the economy gets better. If not, oh well. We know that Heavenly Father doesn't give us anything we can't handle.

I spent this last week transferring old home movies from mini-dv tapes to imovie on my mac. It's so nice to have them on the computer now. They're so much easier to watch! My kids have been having so much fun watching themselves as babies. Kendall and Kaycie look so much alike too! Kaycie is the baby with the pink skirt on. It's crazy. I'm also posting a cute video of Ty taking his first steps. I loved his crazy hair and the funny expressions he always made.
