Carnival Time
Yesterday evening we took Kylie to the Fort Herriman Days celebration. It was really fun and Kylie was squirming from excitement when we walked in. We'd been hoping she'd enjoy the rides a little more but that kind of backfired on us. She tried the little train first and loved it (the cars are made out of barrels and is driven by a lawn mower). She kept shaking it to go faster! Then we decided to take her on the ferris wheel together. It guess I was imagining it would be a smoother type of ride than it was and I was awfully sick to my stomach when I got off. Kylie did pretty well until the last few revolutions and she was very much done. We were the last ones off so it took awhile to happen. After that ferris wheel Kylie refused to try anything else. Even though she had been saying "jump! jump!" all evening, she wouldn't even look at the bounce house. The ponies were good for petting but not sitting. She wouldn't even get back on the train that she liked so much at first! So lesson learned. Leave the rides that might make her nervous for the end. She did like the baby bunny at the petting zoo though. We ordered some yummy hamburgers and fries and came home with an animal balloon in tow. We had a really fun time!

Lazy Days of Summer
Here are a few pictures we took when I was up at my mom's house one weekend about a month or so ago. Things are good but pretty chill. So far my day's this summer have been pretty routine and lately look like this:
8:30am- wake up.
9:00am-feed breakfast to the munchkin
9:30-10:30am- bath time and get dressed (baby included)
10:30-11:30a- playtime
11:30-1:30- baby takes her nap
1:30-2:00pm- lunch
2:00-5:30pm- (varies during the week... playtime, go on a walk, run errands, splash park, check email)
5:30-8:30pm- (think about dinner, playtime with dad, Kylie's pretty wild by this point in the day so we do whatever we can to blow off some of that energy!)
9:00pm- baby goes to bed (usually)
12:00pm- mom and dad go to bed (we are night owls in this house)
So there you have it. Excitement at it's best! Kylie is getting to be a very busy little girl so she keeps us on her toes. She is so easy to love!

random stuff
Kylie's been very feisty these past few days. She wasn't feeling well the end of last week so I'm glad she's doing better. Last Friday she spent the entire day sleeping except for two hours around lunch, and a few hours in the evening. Then on Saturday I was feeling crummy with a slight stomach ache and repeated the same pattern. I'm guessing we had the same thing but am glad to be back on the mend!
Our sweetie has a lot of determination and attitude for someone so small! I've been taking her to the park and going on walks with her on nearly a daily basis lately. It's been raining nearly everyday for the past two weeks, so I try to make it out if there is a break with some sunshine. It's good for both of us to get out and for her to be able to run around at her hearts content. She likes riding around in the stroller much more now than she used to so it's nice to take her on little jaunts around the neighborhood. I can really tell a difference in days that we go out and those that we don't. She's a very busy little girl for certain and it just makes things hard if she can't get some of her energy out!
Kylie has also learned what you do with magic markers, though this is something definitely didn't teach her (she lifts up her shirt or dress and writes on her stomach). At least it was that and not on her dress right? She has many loves in her life, which haven't seemed to change (dad, babies, dogs, capri sun's and can's from the basement). She seems to think we are witholding yummy, yummy treats from her, so she'll go down into the basement pantry, grab a can of anything and painstakingly drag it up the stairs and beg for us to open it for her. We've learned that she'll rarely eat what's in the can, so I'm not sure exactly what she's thinking when she does this! Lately when she wants to eat something she'll point at it or hold it and say "yum! yum!". It's so cute!
I accepted a new calling this past week. In addition to playing the organ I now get to work in the nursery! I had a calling in the nursery probably four or five years ago and loved it. I can never figure out why people don't like being with the nursery. We have a really good class, with a large room and the children are all the younger ones, just around Kylie's age (18months-2years). The other teacher is just awesome and also has a little girl in our class. I'm really excited about it.

Chinchilli Days
This is the funniest commercial I've seen in the longest time. Jared's family members will especially get a big kick out of it.

Down for the count
Well, the short story is that I made a fool of myself this weekend and fainted during our BIL's wedding ceremony.
On Friday we drove down first thing to my BIL's and new SIL's wedding at the Manti temple. We were running a little late, and it took us ten minutes longer to get to the temple than we were anticipating. By time we dropped off Kylie with Jared's cousin and changed into our clothes we arrived just as they were closing the doors. At that point it was standing room only.
The sealer spoke for awhile and then started the ceremony. We had been standing awhile and I was shifting the weight on my legs back and forth to keep the circulation going. I didn't notice the heat in the room at first, but the longer I stood the hotter I became and I was starting not to feel very good. I was holding hands with Jared and he whispered to me that my hand was really sweaty. I was feeling pretty crappy by that point and told him that I wasn't feeling well. He replied "Your not going to faint are you?" and I said no.
The next thing I know I'm waking up in a daydream haze with a few people bunched around me. I was pretty confused about what was going on and embarassed because they had stopped everything after I fainted. I've never had that happen before and we just confused about what was going on. Later that day Jared told me right after he looked back at the ceremony he felt my weigh shift to the side and down I went.
After I was able to come to my senses they had me sit down and I felt much better, but still kind of dazed by everything. Not five minutes after me, I heard kind of a whoosh and a flurry of commotion in the corner. Another girl went down for the count!!! Secretly I was glad I wasn't the only one and surely I wasn't the only one who thought the room was hot. I felt bad for my BIL and SIL though. Your wedding is a day you dream of your entire life and you sure don't need two people passing out during your ceremony! That's the first time I've ever passed out or have been anywhere and seen it happen for that matter.
And for what it's worth I felt great the rest of the day (eye roll).
