Boys will be boys!
A couple of weeks ago we had some friends in town from Illinois. We went to dinner with them and then headed over to boondocks so the guys could play with the kids at the arcade. Anyways this is the prize that Kyle & Leyton picked out with his tickets!! At least he liked it :)

Expecting!!
Ok so we are expecting...a june baby! I wasn't planning on telling anyone for a while, but then I got really sick and my mom had to come up from St. George to rescue me. Thanks MOM!!
Kyle was trying but husbands just don't really know how to wait on you like moms do. I was also supposed to speak at my nephews baptism that weekend and wasn't even sure I would make it. (I made it but wasn't feeling up to giving a talk so my dad filled in. I'm sure he did a way better job than I would have.) So that is how all of my family found out so once they knew Kyle wanted to tell his family. Then for some reason Kyle told his whole sunday school class...(marriage and family) he said it just came out. So I decided that I would put up my countdown and that is probably how the rest of you found out!
I have been really sick this time. :( I don't know if last time since I was working I just didn't think about it and had to go about my day or if it really is worse this time. I am rarely dressed before 3p.m. and only am because I have meetings at night I have to go to. Do you have any advice on how to get over being sick...or constantly feeling nauseas? I just try to sleep a lot (because then I'm not aware of feeling sick) but lately I can't even do that because I'm so stressed out with my new calling I just lye there thinking of all the stuff I need to get done. And its hard to sleep with a 2 yr old running around.
Well enough complaining we are very excited and I know that in time it will pass... and I will forget all about it (maybe). I keep telling Kyle that this is our last one cause I don't want to go through this again...he just says we'll see!

Allergy Testing!
Friday we took Leyton into see an Allergy Specialist. They did the testing on his back this is what it looked like when we got home. It was so sad I had to hold him and it was not fun. I think there was like 37 different things they tested for...so 37 different scratches on his back :( Poor little guy. We already knew that he was allergic to milk but he is also allergic to eggs. And for some reason tested positive to beef and some different vegies. The Dr. thought that maybe because he was squirming around when the nurse was doing it that maybe some got crossed over. He won't eat beef so I really have no idea if he is allergic to it or not.
The good news is that he has an 85% chance of growing out of it...but who knows when. We are hoping sooner rather than later. For now we will just avoid all milk products and eggs. I did however get a little epi-pen in case he ever gets something that causes him to stop breathing. He also told us that if by accident he eats something... I don't have to wait for him to react I can just give him some benedryl and for allergic reactions I can double the dose.
So I guess it was some worth it. I got more information then from his pediatrician, but I felt really bad that I was putting him through it at only 2.

Happy 28th Kyle!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!!
Yesterday was Kyle's b-day...at about 6:30 a.m. he got a phone call from one of his employees calling in sick:( so needless to say he had to go into work at 8:00 a.m and got home around 9:30 p.m. So much for taking him out to breakfast to celebrate (which I had planned to do) poor guy! We'll have to celebrate this weekend!
We Love You Hope You Had A Great Day!

New York!!
Last week Kyle and I had the opportunity to go to New York!! It was so much fun! We left Leyton home with Grandma and Grandpa and his cousin Gunner. It was hard to leave him for me cause I've never left him for longer than a few hours before...but I survived! (I missed him though)
Here's some of the highlights of our trip!
Here we are at the US Open Tennis. This was the view from our seats :) They really weren't bad....the only bad thing was during the day games it was so hot I felt like I was melting! Seriously!!
The Statue of Liberty!
(don't mind all of the random people in the picture we wern't thinking that we chose to go on Labor Day....it was a little crowded)
My favorite moment was definitely seeing Wicked! It was fantastic!!
A must see.. I can't wait to see it again.
Riding the Subway.. it was so easy and cheep! One thing that we didn't know was that in some places the subway is three levels and also goes above the ground. Its pretty dirty but fast and impossible to get lost on.
We went to the Today show and were right next to a girl who got on TV if they would of just panned over a little we would have been on TV... we also got to see Michael Boubla perform.
(I have no clue how to spell his name)
Then before heading to the airport we went out and saw the temple. I forgot my camera so this is the picture of it from the Church's site. It was really cool though but was closed of cleaning so we only got to go in the front doors.

My Baby is 2!!!
Wow its hard to even remember that this was my little boy just 2 years ago...I can't believe how fast it has gone. Its so amazing to me that in just 2 years he has gone from so dependent on me to this very independent little man. Its such a testament of Gods plan.
I love watching him grow and learn new things each day. He's talking so much. I can't even begin to imagine my life without him. This picture was taken on his 1st birthday even in one year he has changed so much.
