Swim Practice

We try to take Kyler to the pool at least once a month. He loves the water so much and it is one of the few outings we can do in the cold. It is an indoor therapy pool so nice and warm and only 4 ft deep (works good for short ones like myself). He gets braver every time. Today's accomplishments were he blew bubbles underwater, let us put him on his back to float, and jumped off the side into Blake's arms.

Movie Time with Dad

Just one of those sweet moments watching Kyler and Blake eat popcorn and watch Cars on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Comprehensive Exams are OVER!

Last Saturday we went out to dinner with Blake's parents to celebrate 1 a belated Valentines day and 2 that fact that Blake just finished his comprehensive exams for his masters. He spent everyday last week taking a different 2 hour test on everything he was supposed to have learned in school the past 2 years. He is relieved it is over and I am glad to get my dinning room table back. I can't even begin to explain the stacks of papers and notes that have taken over. I am so proud of him for all his hard work.
On a different note, we went to dinner at Le Nonne in Logan. Anyone that hasn't tried it YOU MUST. It is a wonderful Italian place that is all spices and olive oil. You'll probably spend about $15 a person and it is small so I would make a reservation. If anyone takes me up on this and tries it out let me know what you think.

18 Month Photos

So really they were taken at 20 months as a result of the black eye in December and various cuts, bruises, and even a rash after that. We finally decided they had to be taken before we cut his hair that was getting out of control. He was the happiest kid for the photo shoot but every time he smiled or laughed he took off running across the room. I have realized why you have so many pictures of your children from birth to about 9 months, THEY DON'T MOVE!

Snow Storms

Here is a photo of the snow outside Blake's parents the night we came back from Florida. I feel so bad we weren't around to help shovel. Hee Hee


Another storm came in just yesterday and Kyler and I went out to play. Luckily we got out there before the wind went crazy.



Orlando Florida

We spent a week in Orlando with its wonderful 80 degree weather while everyone in Utah was getting buried in snow. We had a great time with Blake's family trying to fit in as much fun as we possibly could. The only downside was Kyler got sick the day we arrived so that plus the crazy schedule we had him on made him pretty worn out. It took almost a week after we got home to get him feeling better. Blake alone took over 200 photos so here is just a small sample of what we did.
