Playing with Goofy Ty

He was too busy with his "trucking business" to really play with me but he did do his funny "scared boy" pose a few times. Love it!

Summer is Simmering!
Posted by Kelsea 1:26 PM
I was thinking of something along the lines of "Spring has Sprung" and that's what I came up with for a title.
We have gotten massive amounts of rain which has been good but now its just hot. My birthday is Wednesday! Yay! Kylee was here all last week visiting after running a relay race with her boyfriend Bo and his crazy running family. She did awesome. We got pedicures, went to two movies, MADE movies (details TBA), played with crazy boy Ty and went to a neighborhood water party. I was sad to see her go. I got her hooked on Farm Town. Best game ever on Facebook! Basically you take care of your own farm that you build. It's fun. Ty likes the noises the animals make. Ty is SO funny lately. He does this funny pose with his hands up in the air and now if you imitate him, he'll keep doing it over and over cause he sees you laugh your head off. Haha. He will be 15 months on Wednesday. He is very active, learning to run and gets into everything that isn't locked or tied down. We've started really baby proofing and need to buy like three more of those wooden baby gates. I wish they weren't $30 a piece!
Michael Jackson died. This makes me sad! I've been listening to him in my car.
Layoff rumors are looming again. Brandon said he should find out this week or next when they will happen and if his job is in fact at stake. If it is, we may put the house up for sale just in case. I am worried slightly but he is such an asset at work that things should be fine.
Some of the ILP kids came to America and are staying for a month to travel. Three of Katie's kids are here including her favorite, Sveta. I was hoping some of my kids could come but maybe next year since they're still young. We're planning on doing activities with them and visiting Gulya, our native coordinator lady who came with them. Yay!
I'm looking forward to July 4! I'm running a 5k, going to a parade, having a picnic and watching fireworks. I think we'll actually set off fireworks on July 24. Favorite!!
When my mom was here she bought me a new mattress for my birthday. I am in love! It was fun having her here. Not much else to report but just going along. My weight loss has stopped, mostly because I have been lax with eating habits and not exercising. Sad! I'll do better this week.
Until next time...
Summer Update
Posted by Kelsea , Saturday, June 20, 2009 12:18 AM
Here is what's up dudes:
-Got a massage gift certificate for mothers day
-Brandon went fishing with my dad in Green River
-Mom and Hayli came here for a week
-Me and mom went and got massages at the day spa
-Had a movie party
-Signed up for my first 5k (July 4 in Clearfield)
-Kylee is staying with me for a week
-Some of our Russian kids are coming to Utah
-Stopped biting my nails (we'll see how long it lasts)
-Started playing Farm Town
-Going to Washington for a week in July
-My birthday is on JULY 1!!! :) 28....awkward
-Rearranged downstairs
-Ty is walking everywhere, says "doggy" and makes all kinds of sounds including whining. Loves to play on the couch, wears size 5 shoes. Gives kisses and bumps heads. I love him.
-Went to the zoo
-Went house hunting with mom in Heber City
-Picked Hayli up from EFY
-Got pedicures with Adi and Katie
So I just wanted to drop a couple lines to reflect on how thankful I am for my little family. I have been struggling with Ty's new habit of whining for EVERYTHING. I get so impatient and frustrated but I love him so much. I need to balance this and remember how blessed I really really am. Also I love my hard working husband. Rumors of another layoff in September have been surfacing. No matter what happens in our life I know we're in it together :) I love my boys. Time for bed.
Until next time...
New Plans
Posted by Kelsea , Monday, April 27, 2009 5:57 PM
Well not really new...but kind of. I decided NOT to try out for the play at the community theater this summer because I found out it is going to be Man of La Mancha. I dislike this play greatly and I didn't want to waste my time. So I am going to stay in Vegas an extra four days. Yay! My week is busy already so a few extra days will be great. Tomorrow we are going to see The Soloist. Wednesday Bree is doing my hair and we're going to go pick up the tickets for Phantom. Thursday I am hopefully getting a pedicure, Friday Katie is coming and we're going to Hayli's play, Saturday is Haydn's baptism and dinner and Phantom! Sunday is church and Katie's going home. I would have left the next day but now it's Friday! :) So my whole week is open next week. Yay! Ty has been crazy lately. He says "HIIIiiii" now. It is so funny. He is getting good at mimicking. I moved his appt. to May 13. Also I think I'm having a movie party at my house on May 27. I have to decide which movie though. I will get input. Well, I better go cause the missionaries are coming over.
Until next time...
Our Vacation
Posted by Kelsea , Sunday, April 26, 2009 5:05 PM
IT WENT GREAT! Saturday we drove to St. George (stopped the night before in Cedar to sleep at Drew and Ky's) and dropped off Ty with grandma Lori and grandpa Ron. We continued on to Flagstaff and made great time getting there. Sunday we spent the day at the Grand Canyon and watched the sunset on Sunday night. We hiked in a little ways and the weather was perfect. No crowds. On the road the next day we bought some Native American trinkets (bracelet, pots) at a roadside stand and headed for Colorado. We stopped at the 4 corners monument. I was in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico all at once! We stopped in Cortez, CO and visited Mesa Verde National Park. There are indian ruins built into the mountains. It is amazing. I can't wait til Brandon uploads the pictures. It was definitely a highlight. Wednesday morning we left Cortez early and drove to Arches National Park/Moab. We wanted to get a camp site in the Devils Garden campground and we got the LAST ONE! Yay! We set up camp and went into Moab to buy supplies. We hiked to the Double O/Landscape Arches which was a totally fun 4 mile hike and it was so beautiful. Again, the weather was splendid. I saw SO many lizards! :) Thursday we woke up early, ate breakfast and went to hike to Delicate Arch. It was also a fun hike, even though it was quite sunny and warm but it was so worth it. Beautiful! The rest of Thursday we bummed around, ate dinner at a cafe in town, and climbed a big rock to watch the sunset. That night was way way windy so we didn't sleep as well as the night before but it was ok. We headed back to Cedar City and stopped in Richfield to visit a friend. We decided to stay at my parents cabin for the night since they would be there and I was going home with them anyway. Brandon left Saturday morning back to Tremonton and I came home with my parents and Kylee. Lori and Ron brought Ty over to my parents.' OH I MISSED HIM SO MUCH! I was so happy to see him. He is so silly. He is walking more and eats like no one I've ever seen. Haha. It was a good vacation for everyone and I am so glad I got to go and make memories with Brandon. When Ty gets older we can all go! It's been good so far in Vegas. I am PLEASED with the weather. But of course I miss Brandon :) I'll be here til May 4.
Until next time...

There ya have it. Should be an adventure. Tomorrow is get the house clean and pack day. The car is all ready to go. Yay!
I picked Mabel up from the vet today after she was declawed. She was pretty sad but I think she'll be fine. We're keeping her in the office with her own litter box that is sand free. No pebbles in the paws they said. So I am going to be playing vet for the next couple days as well. Sibbie thought FOR SURE she was gone. Sad. Well, time for bed!
Until next time....
Rain Rain Go Away
Posted by Kelsea , Tuesday, April 14, 2009 1:17 PM
So yesterday and Sunday were absolutely gorgeous. Easter Sunday was just what you would want easter sunday to be. We went to Chris and Monica's for easter dinner and Ty looked adorable. Our camera battery died so of course I didn't get pictures of him :( Anyway today is Tuesday and it is RAAAAIIINNNING. Alot. It makes me not productive (thats it I'll blame the weather). I took both cats to the vet today for shots and Mabel is getting decalwed. Finally. It will be nice. She will be 2 on April 24. Gosh they grow up so fast. Lol. Ty is still walking here and there but still uses crawling as his main mode of transportation. We have been getting ready for our vacation. Well at least we have been getting the car ready. We still need to figure out where we're staying and I HAVE to get laundry done. Laundry is like the annoying friend that doesn't go home after the slumber party is over. Just kinda...hangs around. I don't know.
Anyway Ty is asleep right now and so I thought I would just jot a few lines. My beautiful flowers have come up in the front planter and the tulips will be up any time now. Yay! My corner planter (and probably the front) is going to get rocks soon. I bought some solar lantern things. I don't know if we'll actually plant anything this year. Also I need to hang out with people in my neighborhood, there are cool people I just never come out of the house I guess. When the weather is better I swear I will. I like being outside on nice days. Who doesn't?? Our tree is FULL of honeybees. I love them. But when the wasps come I hate it. Also I hate mosquitos.
Oh! I am going to see Phantom in Vegas on May 2! I scored cheap cheap tickets in great seats thanks to Lori. We are so very excited and thankful! I am also going to see Aida in September. This is a good year for plays! I saw Wicked on the 10th. It was very amazing. I am going to audition for a play on May 5 so we'll see how that goes. Its just a community theater thing. Kostya is coming to BYU in January. Brandon and I are thrilled.
Well I am rambling now so its time to go. Life is good!
Until next time...
