Tis the season!

the season of Christmas programs!  It was so much fun to go to Kyrie's Preschool christmas program.  All the kids were so cute!  I really love Kyrie's teacher, she is amazing with Kyrie.  Kyrie did a wonderful job.  I was one proud mom!

Ward Christmas Party.

Kyrie was so excited to see Santa she froze on his lap and wouldn't get off.

Residency Acceptance

It's official! Brian has just been accepted to the US NAVY Hospital Surgery GPR dental residency at Camp Pendleton, CA. We can't wait to move back out west after 4 wonderful years in Louisville.  We should be packing our bags and heading west by early July.  Here we come Sea World and Disney Land!!! 

Random picture update

Okay so it's been a while, so here are some pics of what's been goin on here.

Yes, that is a dead deer on top of my Hummer.

Yes, that is blood trickling down the side of  the car.

Yes, that is a proud Brian showing off his kill.

Yes, that is the skinned deer hanging in my garage.  

And yes, that is my three year old daughter showing off her daddy's kill.

Skip to the zoo.  

Kyrie loves the Tiger show almost as much as I do.

Skip to Thanksgiving.  

Fried Turkey... yummm!

Eating!

Sorry about the randomness.  I just have low blogging motivation of late.  But hey, at least I updated, right?

On Thursday Amber and I, plus all the kids, went to Bernheim Forrest.  It was beautiful!  I love fall colors!

Great Wolf Lodge Fall Break 09

Here are some pictures of our Fall Break to Great Wolf Lodge. Natalie will probably fill in some more detail but for now here are the Pic's. We did have tons of fun and the kids loved the indoor water slides, story time, and the great kids game room. Enjoy. 

To update or not to update?

Yes, it's been a while since my last update.  It seems that after I take the time to upload my pictures I have absolutely no desire to write anything about the  "said" pictures.  So here are some random pics that have been taken in the last month and I'll do my best to at least label the pictures you will be viewing.

Below, Brian took the scouts and Kyrie to Red River Gorge, KY for a camp out.  Kyrie watched and cheered (go daddy g0) as the boys, and Brian took turn jumping off the rocks.

 So while Brian was busy setting up the tent, Parker (another little three yr. old camping buddy) needed to relieve himself.  So as boys do he pulled his pants down aimed and went.  Kyrie, after watching Parker, decided she would relieve herself in a like manner.  Needless to say girls and boys have different plumbing and Kyrie's potty experience was not as clean or as precise as Parker's.  Thanks Parker for this valuable lesson.

Kyrie, Brian, and the boys (scouts) hiking!

Hiking with Paul Bowen. 

  Kyrie had a blast hiking, and eating hot dogs by the camp fire.

Kyrie loves it when dad comes to the zoo because she gets to ride the merry-g0-round.  I have found that getting Kyrie off the merry-go-round is next to impossible and have decided to leave that draining task to someone (like Brian) with superior strength,  to wrestle Kyrie off the merry-go-round. 

Me and Kyrie at the Gorilla habitat.  I am continually amazed at how pungent the smell in there is.  Wow, it takes my breath away!  Kyrie walks in and says "Oh mom, stinky poopy".

Kyrie and her cousin/bestest friend Elana caught primping in the bathroom. 

Brian, Shane, Stacey and I drove over to Lexington for the Kentucky vs. Louisville Football game.  Brian made some killer ribs  and Shane made a mean green bean casserole that we enjoyed before the game.  

Oh so yummy! 

Just posing after a well earned victory.

Kentucky won! Blue is easier to wear than red, go BYU!

Kyrie

Some random pics from z00 trips the last couple weeks.  Kyrie loves her cousin Elaina and wants to hang out with her every day.

Kyrie heading out for her very first day of preschool.  She loves school!
