Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Kyleeann's First Halloween!

 I got some fruit snacks at the store today in case any trick or treaters came by. Kyleeann is being my little model.

 She could hold  them. At one point she got so excited holding them she was flopping her arms around and one of the bags flew into her face, she just kept smiling.

 Not only were the bags small so are are the actual fruit snack. They are so good! They are Florida's Natural and the box I got was a Halloween box, I need to find the normal ones.

 We had a couple over from the ward and watched Hocus Pocus. It was a lot of fun, I made some spinach dip, homemade root beer and a festive Halloween cake.

Ward Halloween Party

 Our ward Halloween party was tonight. I didn't get a Halloween costume for Kyleeann because she was not going trick or treating but she did get an outfit. She is such a cutie!

Such a happy girl!

Candace was holding her and she fell asleep, partying is exhausting.

There was a photo booth there with tons of cute props but my hands were full with Kyleeann so we did it sans props. 

Robert had to work so he wasn't at the ward party with us but he was only one dressed up from our family. 

He had to get done up for work, they had a zombie Halloween party.

Pumpkin Carving!

We carved pumpkins tonight as a family. It was a lot of fun, Robert and I each had a pumpkin and Kyleeann played in her chair or sat in her bumbo.
I know it is hard to guess who this pumpkin belongs to.

 Robert's pumpkin:

 My pumpkin is staying at our place but Robert's pumpkin is going to work. That was actually why we got pumpkins in the first place because Robert needed one for work.

Update: Robert's pumpkin won the contest at work! 

Painted Little Piggies

This morning I decided to paint Kyleeann's little toes. They look so cute!

I am also getting her into my owl obsession. I have owl pajama bottoms on, Kyleeann has an owl shirt on and her bumbo cover is covered in owls. We love owls in this house. 

Kyleeann Faces

Kyleeann is really overall a happy baby but she does cry and have some sad faces. I feel kind of mean sometimes when I laugh at her sad faces but sometimes they are just so cute! I am trying to capture some of her sad faces so I have them to remember and look back on. 

Here is one of them:

 Here is Kyleeann being happy this morning, she is so much fun!

 This picture kind of looks like she is laughing but she doesn't really make giggle/laugh noises but she does make big facial expressions.

This is a picture from yesterday morning. I needed to get ready to leave and she just chilled on our bed and was happy while I got ready. It is kind of dark because my curtains weren't open but you can still see her happy face. 

Baby Pictures

The top two photos are a couple of my (Kelsie's) baby pictures and the bottom two are Kyleeann. I think the top right picture really looks like Kyleeann but I couldn't find a picture with her with that same sleeping smile. I have definitely seen that face so many times but I just haven't gotten it on camera. 

It is a lot of fun to compare our pictures. Most people tell me that she looks like me. She currently has blue eyes like Robert and I hope they stay, they are beautiful! 

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today is Grandpa Dave's birthday! We wish we could celebrate together especially since I know he got a homemade lemon meringue pie, yum! 

Grandpa is our favorite babysitter! We were so happy that he got to spend the first couple weeks of Kyleeann's life here in Texas with us and then we were so excited to go visit Grandpa and Grandma in South Dakota for just over a week in September/October. 

We love Grandpa Dave, Happy Birthday!

It's Fun Being A Baby!

Here are several pictures of Kyleeann. We were having fun talking and laughing together this afternoon and she just looks so cute so I thought I would post some pictures of our fun. Some of them are blurry, we were having too much fun to be worrying all that much about perfect pictures.

 I also captured her grabbing her toys. She is growing up so fast!

Yummy

Kyleeann discovered how to put her fist in her mouth today. She has gotten some fingers in her mouth before but she hasn't been able to do it over and over and keep it there for a time until today. Exciting times for baby girl.

Yummy yummy morning...

 afternoon...

 and evening!

Kyleeann is 2 Months Old!

Kyleeann really was 2 months on 10/2/2013 but today was her 2 month appointment. As you can see in the picture she is 11.7 lbs (67%) and 22.6" (54%)

At her appointment she also got some shots. She screamed but calmed down pretty quick and she fell asleep just a few minutes after I picked her up.

Kyleeann's First Plane Trip

 This was taken at the Sioux Falls airport, I thought it was funny

Right before going through security. We got through quick, that is what I love about small airports! 

 The first flight went great she was awake the whole time (its a 30 minute flight) so when we got to Minneapolis she was ready for a nap. I needed to charge my phone and all the plugs by seats were taken so we are sitting on the floor and she is taking a snooze.

 This is on our flight to Houston. She was a little fussier for this one but still pretty good. One of the flight attendants was nice and brought her a pair of wings for her baby book.

Overall Kyleeann's first plane trip was a success and not too bad for me!

South Dakota Trip

We loved our trip to South Dakota. We were glad we were on the east side of the state and not the west. They got an early snow storm, we were not prepared for two feet of snow so we are glad we didn't see any snowflakes.
 

This was at Applebee's on our last day there. Thanks for lunch mom and dad! Kyleeann was getting lots of attention from the servers, they thought she was cute. 

 We stopped by and saw cute baby Carson. They are 5 weeks apart. It was lots of fun catching up with Amy!

 Kyleeann and especially me enjoyed Kyleeann's morning time with Grandma. After she got home from seminary she would take Kyleeann while I slept in a little longer. Grandpa would help too. It was so nice for me!

Ava's Soccer Game and Fazoli's

We drove to Iowa to watch Ava's soccer game, Sam is the coach. 

It was a little cold and windy so Kyleeann got bundled up but it was still a little cold so the two of us watched the game from the car.

Ava, Kyleeann, and I

It was cold but she still fell asleep
