I've noticed early on last week that Kyden was starting to go through a growth spurt. Yikes! This meant for less sleep, and more crying. He's not much of a cryer and I got used to that so now when he cries it drives me bonkers. Well he's gotten a little bit past his ravenous hunger and is now to a stage where all he wants to do is sleep. I LOVE IT! I think to myself "now I can get stuff done" What I actually do is spend more time in bed or on pinterest (most addictive website. It's science.). I also noticed early last week that he is going through this stage where he wants to hug, or lay his head on you (or anything that's bigger than him) If I lay him on the floor with a stuffed animal or a pillow he will bury his face in it. It is so sweet. If dad is being silly he will laugh and then lay his head on my chest, or shoulder. It is the sweetest feeling! I'm loving this age/stage!

Bath Time!

Kyden became way too big for his bathtub when he was 2 months so we started bathing him in our tub. It always hurt our back if we were not in with him so we decided to bathe him in the kitchen sink. BEST idea we've had. When telling Mike we should I told him we were all bathed in the sink, it isn't that weird. We LOVE it. Much easier on our backs! The only problem is he slips. We've tried everything. little rubber fish, a rubber mat, even a foam tub for newborn sponge baths. We just have to be cautious until he can sit up on his own. Here are some pics (he LOVES the water!)
Gotta love this water baby!

Baby Blessing 4/15/2012

I forgot to blog about Kyden's blessing! My bad! We had him blessed Sunday April 15th at 9:00AM. It was a lot of fun, and very sweet! I wish my brothers could have been here to be in the circle but that's OK. They are doing very important things in stinky Texas ;)
Here are some pics at our brunch after sacrament

 This was much cuter on pinterest. But was fun all the same!

 Sleeping in and out in Abuelo's arms! Elvis is so funny, he said to me "I did not rock him to sleep!" afraid that I was going to be mad

Primo Liam

 Mike's sweet cousin Mirella made these from scratch for the blessing! They were awesome!

 Saying bye to Liam. I forgot about my camera after everyone had left so I was a little sad I didn't get any pics of Kyden with his cousin Chance. We'll have to get some next time ;)

We have teeth!

So I had to stop at Harmon's on my way home from school. While I was there I got some paste so I can brush Kyden's gums. (I'm embarrassed that I haven't been doing that already! I'm a firm believer in starting young with good healthy habits!) So I began brushing his gums when I noticed that his first tooth had actually broken through! No wonder he's been sick! It was just a tooth coming through! Funny though, I swear just yesterday it was just a little white spot, even just when I was at my dad's I swear it was just a spot! I'll post some pics as soon as I can find my camera ;) His second one is working its way through right now. Poor guy is sure to let us know it hurts!

Mikey's 27th Birthday!

For Mike's birthday I always make him whatever he wants for dinner. This year he suggested breaded chicken with Lion House rolls, Boston Market Sweet Potatoes, Funeral Potatoes, and Texas Sheet Cake. I invited his family over to celebrate and sing to him. He was so excited about the gifts...hammer, and flashlight. (he has this weird thing about flashlights. Loves them.) I was giving Kyden a bath that night and Mike came in the bathroom to show me the cool features on it. He was uber excited. He is so funny. I can tell when he is touched. His voice gets really soft and sweet, and he has a big smile. One time he said "wow, this is how I know you really do love me. You listen to the things that I say". He's a cutie. Here are just a few pics....

Easter 2012

Easter morning we went to our stake conference. Mike and I are dummies and forgot it was stake conf. We went to the church at 9, and conf started at 10. oops ;) Since we were an hour early we went in and played with the baby. After that we went to Mike's Cousin's Grandma Ruby's house for an egg hunt. So fun! She is such a sweet lady! (I didn't have my camera, so I'm waiting for Rosi to send me the picks she got) Then we went to Grandpa Oblad's for dinner. Last Thursday Kyden and I went to dye easter eggs at Grandpa Oblad's. Here are some pics of our adventures.

 Yes, Dad's shirt says "Trek yourself, before you wreck yourself" freaking awesome! I promised dad I wouldn't put this on facebook. I barely got permission to put it on our blog. Interestingly enough Kins and dad were about to go to the grocery store when they realized they were wearing the same shirt. Dad laughed, and Kinsie changed.
