26 Months!

Kyson has grown up so much lately and makes me laugh and scream in just a matter of minutes. He is one busy kid and never stops. He still throws a fit like no other but he can give the best kisses to make up for it. He loves to help his dad. The other day Derek was fixing a leak in our toilet and Kyson came running out and got his hard hat and pliers and ran back in to help Derek. He gets so excited when he thinks he fixed something and he always has his tools out with one of his toys tipped over cause he is fixing it. He still loves to dance and is always up dancing to whatever is on. He hasn't been sleeping very well this past while and it's driving me crazy. He wakes up at like 2 and wont go back to sleep until 4 or 5 and that's usually cause I threaten him that he will have to go back to his room all alone and then he will finally lay still until he falls back to sleep.

Here are the better pictures of Kyson on the horse over the deer hunt. He is so cute in his cowboy clothes and still has an obsession with horses. I don't have any recent pictures of him cause he broke the camera and I'm waiting to get a new one.

And yes, I am excited for Christmas.. I would just skip Thanksgiving if I could. I begged Derek to let me put up the tree yesterday and he wouldn't give in. It's not like its that early just a week or so.

Halloween 09

This year for Halloween we headed up to Delta cause Derek had to do some plumbing in Fillmore. Kyson loved it cause he got to see "Eeahh" (Addi), we cant figure out why he calls her "Eeahh" but no matter how much we all tried he wasn't about to change. He was a frog and she (the princess) kept trying to turn him into a prince all night but it just wasn't working. The costume was very suitable for the situation cause taking him trick-or-treating was really like herding a frog, it was impossible. He walked so slow and then would run off if he saw anything, mainly cats and he wouldn't let you carry him. I still can't figure out whose idea it was to walk around my parents neighborhood because while we were herding a 2 and 3 year old cars were flying past us with BIG kids in them. We practiced knocking on the door and saying trick-or-treat before we left but when it came down to it they both just would grab candy without saying anything. Addi was sure to say thank you afterwords and when Kyson was walking away he was sure to say bye... good enough I guess!

Traffic Jam!!

Today me and Kyson had the most amazing time sitting in the car for 2 hours while we waited to get our H1N1 vaccine. Luckily it was in the car and not standing in a line cause it is only 50 here and even better Kyson just watched a movie the whole time while I slowly inched the car forward!! It was ridiculous how many people were there. I went an hour early and still had a 2 hour wait and when I was leaving the 1 lane of cars that I sat in was doubled into 2 lanes and not moving. I am so glad I went when I did or I would have turned around when I saw the double lanes. I got the shot and Kyson got the mist (and has to go back in 30 days for a boost shot) I hope he doesn't get a fever from the mist. So now everyone can leave us alone about getting the vaccine and we are swine flu free here, except Derek... although I am pretty sure with a wig he could have passed for pregnant!!



I'm sure this is how they would rather do it, knock out 8 people at once instead of 1 car at a time.

My Cowboy!

This weekend while we were in Fillmore for the deer hunt Mark decided to put Kyson on the horse. Kyson LOVED it, he didn't want off! We even put him in his cowboy outfit, except the hat... I forgot that! With or without it he was cute. Brenda took alot of pictures and we (Derek) tried to put them on a cd but when we got home it didn't work so these are from Derek's phone, I will have to try again to get them on a cd next weekend.

Ultrasound & Kyson 25 Months

Yesterday was my ultrasound to check my measurements and as I predicted I would sit in an office for an extra 20+ minutes from the already 1 hour of a full bladder and spend $200 to hear that everything looks right and that I must just be carrying the baby high or something. I don't think Kiptyn was liking the ultrasound to much because everywhere the little thing was he would kick or hit at it. I only got one picture because they were way backed up so the lady was just looking for what she needed and not getting any fun pictures. I'm glad to hear that everything is ok and I love seeing Kiptyn but I along with Derek am really sick of paying doctor bills this pregnancy(it means I have to work more)! Hopefully we don't have anymore surprise visits with the doctor until he gets here! The lady doing the ultrasound said he is head up right now and that could be what is making me measure a little big, all I have to say about that is he better get to turning before its to late. His weight was 1 1/4lbs and I don't really remember what she said for length.

And every blog needs a picture or its just boring so here is how I found Kyson in my bathroom the other day... he had makeup all over him and the bathroom. He is really starting to hit his terrible two's and he has a temper. If he doesn't get what he wants he will charge you from across the room, he bites, pinches, yells at the top of his lungs, throws stuff, pretty much anything you can think of he does when he is mad. He is getting so big and it amazes me that he knows what I am always saying to him and he can answer back alot of the times. I love that I can tell him to go grab something upstairs and he actually comes back with what I asked for... he's the best helper ever!! He is quite the momma's boy right now, which I love but it also means that I never get a minute to myself if I am home. He isn't sleeping as good and is on a kick that if he wakes up he wont go back to sleep, yep that means that I am up at 5 some mornings trying to get him to watch tv so I can go back to sleep. He hates taking naps so I stopped making him but I really don't think he is ready for the change yet cause he usually falls asleep watching a cartoon around 3 or 4, which makes for a late night up with him. If he doesn't have a nap its heaven cause he is ready for bed at 7! He LOVES trains, taking his vitamins "mightamin" and if I forget to get his "mightamin" he will climb up on the counter across the stove and get them down and bring me the bottle, he still loves playing in the tub, loves it when his dad tortures him, he loves to torture Addi, he is always putting on his cowboy boots and he will wear them all day until I usually take them off. He was a ring boy at Cristy and Chant's wedding last weekend and he had to wear a tux, he looked so cute. I didn't get any pictures so I will have to wait til Cristy gets her pictures back. He did way better than I expected him to do since he didn't have a nap except for the ride out there, but that all came crashing down during the dinner, he was a MONSTER!

21 Week Check-Up

Today I went to the doctor for my 21 week check up, first off WAHOO I'm more than half way done, second off it's always nice to hear the heartbeat. Kiptyn's heart sounded good and then the doctor measured my stomach and I measured 26 weeks, yep that's 5 weeks bigger than I should! So all you people that try to be nice and say I don't show or that I'm not big... you have been caught in your lie I'M HUGE!!! So I have (or get) to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure he looks ok. Which isn't a bad thing since I will get to see Kiptyn again but I am pretty sure that Derek is getting sick of paying doctor bills! I told the doctor I ate a lot this week and he didn't like that excuse, then I tried to just have him move my date up 5 weeks and he really didn't like that idea! Hopefully I am not going to be having a 10lbs baby!
Yep I'm huge!!

2 Year Check Up

Kyson had his 2 year check up yesterday and he is 35 inches tall (70%), 28lbs (60%), and his head is 50cm (80%). He had to get his finger pricked and he didn't like that at all, he kept looking at the lady while she was getting blood like what the heck are you doing to me. Then he also had to get his flu shot and he really didn't like that! I think if he ever sees that lady on the street he will probably start to cry and not because he got poked twice from her but from her HUGE tattooed eyebrows! No just kidding he will cry from the pain she inflicted! After his appointment we followed it up with me going to get my blood work done. That is always fun but even more fun when you add a 2 year old (2 hours past nap) in a small room with and emergency cord to pull! Yep he pulled it but luckily nothing happened probably cause we had it turned off right after he did it. Luckily the lady taking my blood had 7 kids herself so she was use to wild things going everywhere possible. She made him a hand balloon with a glove and he sat on a chair next to the sink and washed it the whole time she was actually taking blood so it actually wasn't too bad once we got him calmed down in the tiny room! And I bet you can guess what happened on our 4 minute ride home... he fell asleep and stayed that way for 2+ hours! SWEET, I love it when he takes a long nap... right up until its time to put him down for bed, then I don't love it so much!
