The Party

Although Kyle's birthday was actually a few days ago, we celebrated today. So much fun.


Here is my attempt at a transformers cake. It looks very homemade. But you know what? Kyle knew what it was and loved it.




All the cousins. With 20 people in my house I felt how small it is. But thankfully the weather was nice and we were able to take the kids outside.

I am all about food, so in case you care to know, we had sweet pork with fresh flour tortillas, black beans and rice. Mmmmm. Looking forward to leftovers this week.


We finished the day bumper bowling. Kyle got absolutely spoiled. But your 5th birthday only comes around once.
Thanks to everyone who came. It was a lot of fun.

Kyle is 5!

Happy Birthday to my little buddy. Can't believe it!
Here are some pictures of the sweet little guy:




Doesn't he look like a little doll here!








It has been so wonderful to have Kyle in our home. We are lucky to have him and are grateful for his spirit and his giggles.

I love you little buddy!

Kite Flying

Yesterday it was so beautiful. Sunny, mild and windy. So we broke out the kites.


Yes it looks like fishing, but actually Brian attached the kite string to his fishing pole and bringing the kites down was easier this way.







Then the very next day we woke up to this:



That's life in Utah.

Oh Kyle

So my little Kyle has always been very curious and is already asking questions that I can't answer. Nothing a little trip to the library can't fix. So we have been checking out kids books on other countries. Right now, it is China.
"Here is what Chinese money looks like," I say. "Here is what the Chinese alphabet looks like. Here is a city in China."
Kyle is looking very intently at each picture.
"And here is a picture of Chinese boys and girls in their classroom."
Kyle, still looking intently, says, "Mom, why are they so sleepy?"
