Slip-n-Slide All Night n It'll b Sweet

Some friends had invited us to the park to join them slip-n-sliding. It was HUGE! The plastic went all the way down the retention basin and it was covered in soap and we borrowed a neighbor's hose to slide down. Kya wasn't to sure about it but Preston sure had fun!

She held on to her chip the whole time!

We had the ASU game to go to afterwards and Preston was soaked! I didn't go down for that reason I didn't want to be soapy and soaked for the whole game. But he did hang his shirt out the window on the way to the game so it wasn't too bad for him.

Lazy Mom, Obedient Girl

Last night was kind of a late one. Preston and I didn't start a movie until 11 so we kind of knew it was going to be a little bit tough this morning. (Because our master bedroom is ALL windows and we now wake up with the sun!) So this morning at 6:45 Kya started her I'M AWAKE yell down the hallway. Any other morning I probably would have just gotten up but I just didn't feel like it today. So I got up to go to the bathroom, because that's usually when this prego mama has to get up and go anyway, and on the way I passed by the intercom, and said into it, "Kya, lay down and go back to sleep." Not thinking it would work I relieved myself in the pottyroom and started walking back. To my surprise she had quieted down and she really DID go back to sleep! I climbed back in bed and slept til 8! The latest yet in this glass house! Kya is a SUPER obedient kid, with a lot of things, it's just awesome that she even listens to me over the intercom!

Playing LOTS!

The other day Kya went down pretty hard on the concrete and skinned her knees for the first of many more to come, you can see them a little in this picture.

Kya loved that we have SO much space to run and play... we are always running and playing!

Cutest Girl!

What a funny girl! We got to go to IHOP for breakfast! And she was a HOOT!

Isn't this the cutest outfit ever! My mom got it for her, she was getting all the other grandkids back to school clothes and she couldn't leave Kya out on the cute clothes! Thanks again MOM!

She's a little tired in this one but its cute!

Planter -- Sandbox Same Thing!

We have some planters in the front that we decided to wait to plant flowers in until it cooled off, and go figure its Kya's favorite place to play. She is always super dirty!

Kya tried to eat the dirt, and then with her dirty hands tried to get it out of her mouth.

AWESOME!

Fun at the Grimes

For all of those who are thinking in your head, "Hey they didn't come to visit US" the Grimes' did call to invite us.
AND we didn't die we just moved... so come visit us too!

So it was really funny we all were eating cookies in the front room and Preston had just finished his milk so he filled the cup up with water, (luckily!) and Kya climbed up in his lap and spilled the whole cup in his lap!

Looks like he peed right on the couch!

Stuck

Ok so it's not very often that Kya will let me out of her sight during the day. So when she was fine with playing in the entertainment room while I walked out of it, I decided to go upstairs and take a shower. I took a pretty quick one but when I hopped out I listened for her she sounded happy but she was calling. Yelling really or like she does when she wakes up. I was still in my towel upstairs so I yelled down to her, "Come here!" I heard her respond, "NO!" (Her usual response to any question.) I threw some clothes on quickly and came down to check on her. I thought I had heard her in the entertainment room where I left her, but there was no Kya. So I turned around and looked in the family room and still didn't see her. Then I heard her call again, a little confused I turned around again and heard some sound coming from the shut powder room in the hallway. She had gone into the bathroom and shut herself in the dark. And she was totally fine and happy! She used to do that in our other house in the pantry... she apparently loves hiding in the dark.

Anniversary

All because two kids fell in LOVE!

And then there were two!

I noticed that I don't take many pictures of just us anymore, Kya's usually more cute than we are.

We have done a lot and been through a lot! I'm so glad it's been with my sweet hubby! I wouldn't have it any other way! Preston is so kind and loving. I know he cares for me and loves me! He is such a strength to me, he is my best friend and he is a great man. I am super lucky to have him.

Soon after we were married I had to be in the hospital for about 2 weeks. He was always right there for me and did so much for me. That attitude of giving and doing so much for me is still there. I know he would do anything for me and it's good to know I can count on him!

He is a spiritual giant. He really helps me to be better in a lot of different areas of my life. He is a good example to me and I know that he will be that for our kids too! I watch him in his daily routine and he makes doing the right thing easy! I have seen that in him for a long time, he constantly works on things to make himself and us better!

Mine and Preston's story starts out so funny. I love it. There are many times that Preston and I will sit and talk of all of the details of how we first met started dating and got to where we are. I'm glad we had such a great base, and after a while we both couldn't live without the other. Preston always knows how to make me laugh. He surely does keep me entertained.

My love has grown throughout the years and I love every minute with my sweetie!

Happy Anniversary Sweetie!
