Halloween 2011

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!

We always go to a few Halloween parties each year. We went with Clint's costume idea this year. We are Jack Burton and Gracy Law from one of Clint's favorite 80's movie "Big Trouble in Little China." Bodie is a Power Ranger and Kayla is a strawberry. We always enjoy dressing up and having fun each year.

These are the kiddo's who have joined our group.

They were not very happy to get this picture.

Nana was able to come out from Oklahoma for Halloween

Dirty Thirty

The time has finally come. My 30th birthday!! I am not very happy about it!! Clint was SO sweet and surprised me with a weekend getaway/birthday party up at Snowbird's Oktoberfest. He got us a room at the Cliff lodge and arranged for some friends to come up. We spent the day on the alpine slide, zipline, riding the fake bull, the tram, and a TON of eating!! It was SO much fun!!

The weather couldn't have been more perfect. The leaves were changing, and the sun was out.

Circus

We took Bodie to the circus on Sunday. He had a lot of fun! We went before it started to see the elephants, lions, tigers, horses, and zebras. You get to see the animals much closer than at the zoo. Sorry these pictures aren't the best. My camera died, so these are from my phone.

We told Bodie he could pick one souvenir. Of course, he picks the most expensive "crap" toy available. Some stupid light up toy that cost $22!! That's more than a ticket to the show.

There was lots to see and do before the show. Lots of clowns and juggling.

It was a little strange being a family of 3 again. My parents watched Kayla for us. She wouldn't have lasted very long here. I couldn't believe how long the show was! It was a ton of fun to take Bodie and just focus on him.

First time boating

Clint's friend Mike has a boat and we go out on it every so often. We have always wanted to take Bodie, but it never really worked out. We finally were able to get him out on the boat this weekend and he LOVED it!! I wasn't able to go because we didn't have a babysitter for Kayla. Clint and Bodie had a great day tubing, wakeboarding, and fishing.

Bodie and Mike

Four!!!

We celebrated Bodie's 4th birthday this past weekend. I cannot believe that he is 4!! Clint's parents were able to come and be here for the party. We had the party in the backyard and had a bounce house and slip and slide. The kids had a ton of fun playing with water guns and running around. Bodie received awesome presents! He finally got the bike that he has been begging us for and rides it every day.

Kayla is also 4 months old. Here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 14.5 ounces (70th percentile)

Height: 24 inches (50th percentile)

Overall: 50th percentile

Kayla is such a happy, smiley baby. She holds her head up great and is reaching for things. Her hair is getting pretty crazy and I don't know what to do with it. Clint says she looks like a troll doll. Her nick-name that we have given her is spitty slug. She spits up A TON and really has no desire to move. She enjoys just laying on her back and chilling (which I am fine with).

Crash and Burn

This is a first in our house. Bodie has never been a good sleeper/napper. Bodie can go all day and all night long. He was refusing to eat what I made so I wouldn't let him leave his chair until he ate dinner. I turned around and found him dead asleep, snoring.

2 month chunk

2 months old

1 month old

I took Kayla a couple weeks ago in for her 2 month doctor appointment. She is a chunk!!

Weight: 11.3 lbs

Height: 21.7 inches

Head: 37.9

Overall 75th percentile

I went and looked back at the size of Bodie at this age.

Weight: 8.14 lbs

Bodie has never been outside of the 10th percentile. There were times he wasn't even on the chart! It is so different to look down at a baby with fat rolls. She is growing SO FAST!! Kayla loves to smile and coo. Many times it is difficult to feed her because she is smiling so much. She is truly a good baby. We love having her around. I have to return to work in 2 weeks and I am just trying to get prepared for this transition. Its giving me a lot of anxiety!!
