Kyle's Birthday, Halloween Party, and Trunk-or-Treat.

Kyle just turned 22!  SO OLD!  :)  The Saturday before his birthday I planned a dinner with the Jett's and the Young's.  It was supposed to be a surprise but Jenaca might have let the cat out of the bag the night before at the corn maze when she said "See you guys tomorrow night!"  and Kyle was like "...what's happening tomorrow night?"  And I am a terrible liar/secret keeper and I couldn't stop laughing.  Sigh.

Kyle and I got to go to the BYU v. Idaho football game with his parents where I got to see my aunt Cindy and cousin Kyle.  And where I got a terrible sunburn on half of my face and my ankles... awkward.  Then we had dinner at Outback Steakhouse.  And of course I have no pictures from these events.

On Ky's birthday (the 25th)  I filled his desk with 30 balloons, a bunch of candy, and a Transformers birthday banner.  He loves Transformers! The poor guy had to deflate all of his balloons so he could work. And he had to deal with everyone in the office knowing it was his birthday!

That night we went to Applebee's with his family where they sang an obnoxiously loud birthday song and Ayla was a nightmare the entire meal.  Surprise, surprise.  Then we opened presents and ate cake at his house.  I hope he had the best birthday ever because I LOVE HIM and he is so great.

Green and yellow for Green Bay... obviously!

Happy birthday, Kyle!

Friday night the Jett's hosted a Halloween party.  There were games, food, and fun friends!  Kyle and I dressed up as zombie killers and Ayla was a puppy!  Next year we are so planning our costumes in advance.  We had to rush around like an hour before the party getting our costumes together.  Not being prepared is stressful!

Zombie killers!

Saturday my ward had their Trunk-or-Treat/Chili dinner.  We walked Ayla down there in her puppy costume and had a great time!  Even if we weren't there very long.  Ayla didn't get the concept of going from car to car.  She wanted to stop at every car, sit down with whoever was passing out candy, and was upset when we told her she had to keep going.  She had fun seeing all the other kids in their costumes though and she LOVED the popcorn and the hot chocolate she got!

My loves walking to the church.

Ayla and Kyle are best friends.

Ayla had to stop and play in the leaves on the way there!

mmm hot chocolate!

Trick or treat!

Haunted Ginger Bread House and Thanksgiving Point Round 2!

I am so behind in my blogging... and I have so many pictures!  I'm going to break up everything that has happened the past few weeks into mini posts!

A couple weeks ago we made gingerbread haunted houses at Kyle's house.  And by "we" I mean Kyle worked really hard on an awesome one and I tried to stop Ayla from destroying everyone else's and eating all the candy.  :)

He's so thrilled that I'm taking pictures...

Sydnie and her haunted house!

Kyle's finished haunted house!  So great!

We also got to go back to Cornbelly's Corn Maze with our friends the Jett's and the Young's!  We brought the little girls along and it was so much fun!  I didn't bring my camera (seeing as I lost it at Lagoon) but Kyle took a few good pictures of Ayla!

"SWIDE!"  This girl loves her slides...

Madison Young and Ayla being friends in the wagon.  SO CUTE!

Ayla in the room full of corn.  She had so much fun!

A whole lot of nothings.

Since my camera flew into the abyss at Lagoon I have been seriously slacking in the photo department.  Mainly because my iPhone 3GS takes the worst pictures in the history of cell phone cameras.  I mean seriously, my old nokia took better pictures.  I will share the few pictures that I do have though.  (Ignore the terrible quality!)

One Saturday night we (Kyle, his friends, and I) were children and we TP'd someone's house.  YUP.

A little girl at church drew this picture of Ayla.  Ayla held it like  it was the most amazing thing she'd ever seen.  She stared at it for a good half an hour straight.  And I'm not kidding.  "pwetty picture AYA!"

Ayla fell asleep on Kyle after a long night of running around with other babies and carving pumpkins.

Carving pumpkins!  Stephen, Adam, Amanda, Madison, Ayla, Kyle and I!  We're missing Jenaca and Savannah who are taking this picture!

PUMPKINS!  Ours is the one on the right! (A bat inside of the moon...)

This is Ayla admiring her "pwetty hair" in the mirror before church.

Ayla is a total tomboy and she has recently been obsessed with being naked and with this UW hat.  She thinks she is prettiest when she is wearing this hat.  Always backwards :)

That's my phone dump for now... Minus the two pictures that Jenaca took which were stolen from her FB page :)

Photo Session!

My great friend Lauren is a photographer.  She offered to take photos of Ayla and I, which were WAY overdue!  I was so excited to get pictures of my (almost!) 2 year old baby girl.

Lauren was so great with Ayla and she takes the most BEAUTIFUL pictures!  Here are just a few!  You can see the rest at her Photography Blog, Bella Classico.  Check her out!  Book your photo shoot TODAY!

Weekend Fun!

This weekend was jam-packed with so much fun!

Friday night Kyle and I had been planning on going bowling with Corinne and Brady.  We had been planning this for a couple of weeks and I was so excited!  Turns out, Friday there was an AWESOME deal for Cornbelly's Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point.  Our tickets were $4 each rather than the regular $12!

Turns out, changing plans was the best thing EVER!

We met at the Sunflower Market where we were going to have some good ol' sloppy joes.  That didn't happen because the market decided to no longer do dinner.  So we went to Dickey's BBQ.  So fine with me, I absolutely love that place.  And I learned that they have a student discount!  Big BBQ sandwich, one side, and a drink for $4.99!  Amazing!

After dinner we headed over to Thanksgiving Point.  We were blown away by all the fun things there were to do!  It wasn't JUST a maze, there were so many great activities!  My favorite part was the room full of corn.  It was like a giant sandbox with corn kernels instead of sand.  See photos below!  :)

Kyle bought a mask before the date and wore it the whole drive to the market...

CUUUUUTE!

Corinne won the race!

ROOM FULL OF CORN!

CORN! WOO!

My love and I :)

So. Much. Corn.

We had the best time with Corinne and Brady, they are just about the nicest people you will ever meet!

Saturday Kyle and I went to Lagoon.  It was fantastic.  I haven't been for years, but oh man, I have no idea why I don't go every year!  We went on all the rides, saw the show, played some games (Ky won me a pink elephant!), and had good food and yummy ice cream!

The best part was spending time with Kyle :)

Sadly, I don't have a single picture because I lost my camera on the Wicked roller coaster.  Yup.  No more camera.  I also lost my cell phone that day but luckily it was recovered and not damaged at all!

Sunday was spent laying in bed watching conference and then joining Kyle's family for a yummy taco dinner!

I just love Kyle and can't even explain how much fun I have with him.  He makes me one happy girl!

Wednesday Football!

Here are a some pictures from Wednesday night football.  These are mainly all Ayla.  This was her second time going to a Wednesday night football game.  I tried to take her a month ago and this is what happened:

Ayla was running around back and forth with me chasing her all over the place.  Suddenly, she noticed Kyle was out on the field.  She yelled: "TILES!" (That's how she says his name) and took off running into the game!  I had to run out after her so she didn't get trampled and take her off the field.  She screamed and cried because she wanted "my tiles!"  So, we had to leave because she would not stop trying to run onto the field to get to her Kyle.

This time, she did great.  I actually got to watch the game, she got to play with some little girls, and I only had to run out into the game and grab her one time!

Boyfriend is #85 :)

Looking like such a big girl playing on the brick wall like the big kids!
