Halloween-yes a little late
So Halloween this year was not so great. I was SO excited!!!! And then, it strikes again... Kyler was sick and we 
couldnt go out. He did get to wear his costume to my aunt's house on Thursday but he was miserable, so it stayed on for about 5 minutes. Actual Halloween day, we spent most of it in the hospital because Kyler had a REALLY high fever. Luckily, he is better now. Just a note about Kyler: He is walking, he LOVES to climb on things (just like his Dad). Story from Deric's mom about Deric: one time when he was about 2, she couldn't find him. She looked and looked and looked and eventually found him, asleep....on top of the fridge! He opened ALL the drawers to get on the counter, then proceeded to open ALL the cupboards to get to the fridge. All I can say is, like father, like son. Kyler is learning to climb on everything and anything. Here's some pictures from Halloween and other things. Deric says I always take pictures of Kyler when he is in his high chair, so II'm trying to be better at that! P.S. Kyler was a monkey for Halloween!

He LOVES to play outside, I'm worried for when it snows!! 
Haha the picture with his binky is when he woke up in the morning, he slept on his binky clip and it stuck to his cheek- Deric and I thought it was pretty funny!
He loves to play outside and is walking all over the place, getting into EVERYTHING!

Today is our 2-year anniversary. I want to take just a second to say how amazing my husband is! Deric and I have quite a love story in my opinion. Most of you already know it, so I won't bore you with writing it again. I'm so grateful it happened the way it did! Marrying Deric for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple was the best thing I could have done for my life! I love him so much! He is such an amazing husband and father to Kyler! He always tries to make me happy-no matter what. He is constantly telling me how beautiful I am-even if I don't feel like I am. He always is asking me what he can do to help me-especially with Kyler. He works SO hard at work and school to try to better OUR future. He loves sports-as do I. He lets me beat him at horseshoes-or so he says :) He holds the priesthood and uses it regularly. He takes me to the temple every Friday morning. He supports me in anything I do. Those are just a few of the reasons why I love Deric. I'm excited to celebrate our special day today and am looking forward to many more years to come and ESPECIALLY for eternity! :) Love you Babe!!

One Year Old and Going Strong!
Today is Kyler's 1 year birthday! I must say, birthdays are so much more fun when you have kids, more stressful too but it's all good. i know Kyler only turned one and doesn't really realize what's going on, but I still had a party for him. All of the family on Deric's side got together today for Kyler's favorite dinner (not really, otherwise we would all be eating bananas and grilled cheese) but it was more of mom and dad's favorite dinners! Anyway, Aisha and I made a SWEET cake for him! (see below) it was a race car cake and was s
o super easy and fun! Other than the fact we only had one cake pan, so it took forever, it was still great!
He loved it and dug in real fast! 
Now time to reminisce-a year ago today, I remember waking up and having major contractions, I hadn't slept well in the night, but then again, being 9 months pregnant, you really don't. I told Deric that if this was false labor, I didn't want to know what real labor felt like. I had had plenty of Braxton Hicks! The doctor had told me that if you think you are in labor, jump in the shower-if the contractions stop or go away, it's false, if they stay-you're in labor. So I did. I jumped in the shower (againsts Deric's wishes) and the contractions were still there! I was so excited and ready but oh so nervous!!! Deric was washing dishes and wanted to finish doing them, so we just hung around for a while. I finally decided I couldn't stand it anymore and we needed to go to the hospital. When we checked in(around 9:30 a.m.), I was dilated to a 5. My doctor just happened to be out of town and I was terrified to have a different doctor that had never seen me. But what can you do?The doctor for the epideral had just left that wing, so I decided I could just last on regular pain killers-ya that lasted for close to like 2 seconds-haha just kidding, but I was in a lot of pain. By the time I got an epideral an hour later, I was completely dilated and fully efaced. BUT I couldn't start pushing because I have what's called Strep B and I have to be given 2 doses of a certain medicine BEFORE the baby is born or else it could be really bad for the baby. At this point, I had one dose and they were waiting to start the second dose. So we waited, and waited and waited. Finally I told them I couldn't wait any longer-this baby was ready to come! So they broke my water and away we went! Deric called all of our family and told them to hurry because the doctors and nurses said they expected me to go way fast considering how long things took to get going. My mom was shopping and didn't think she would make it-she was so distraught-it's kinda funny. Well... low and behold-I have a stubborn son! Kyler took a LONG time to get here!! He kept turning his head to the left and he wouldn't turn it the right way. I was getting exhausted from pushing so hard and it was getting late. The epideral had worn off and I was administered something else. Finally, the doctor came in and said we had a choice-either a C-Section or forceps. Things weren't looking good. Kyler was swollen from being in labor too long and I didn't have any energy left. Deric and I didn't know what to do. We had never had a kid before and didn't know what the best choice would be. I asked the doctor if she was in my position what she would do. She said she would try the forceps and if that didn't work, to go on to the C-Section. So that's what we did. It took about 3 pushes with the forceps and Kyler was born! He had had a bowel movement while he was in there, so the NICU kept him from breathing until they could clean it up. I was so scared when he didn't cry when he first came-"aren't they supposed to cry?Why isn't he crying" was all I kept saying.
He weighed in at 8 lbs 10 ounces and 22 inches long! The cutest thing ever! 
He had a little heart shape on his forehead that still shows through when he gets mad! I think it's adorable! Well now that you've been bored to tears with my memories-I think I'll end! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLER! WE LOVE YOU!!!
