It is official!

Many of you already knew, but I decided to publicly announce that I am Pregnant and Due July 30th 2011! This would make sense since.....

1. I have been so sick. sick. sick.

2. I am always tired, I could sleep all day:)

3. Smells drive me batty! Things like my favorite perfumes, my favorite salsa, my favorite soaps, and lotions etc. Are so gross, gross enough to gag.

4. I can only keep down certain foods like potatoes, refried beans, tomato soup, rice chex, etc. This sure makes cooking a chore!

Zach and I could not be more excited! The best thing that ever happened to me was marrying Zach, and the best thing that has ever happened to us is having this baby!!!!

The Delayed Christmas Post....

Warning...So many pictures ahead, all from our awesome Christmas Break, and I barely had any pictures of all the fun things we did with our families! here it goes...

Zach in all his awesomeness...
Eva's Christmas horse (homemade with Nana) is eating lettuce from the kitchen floor. Eva LOVED this horse. This is a major understatement.
Eden and Nana read lots and lots of stories! Eden has some stories memorized reciting the title of the book, the author, and then each page. The best part is that she tells the stories with emotion, and facial expressions!
Zach and I in our Christmas eve attire...I got Zach a men's nightshirt with his name embroidered on the pocket :) we all had a good laugh, and then I wore my annual Christmas onsie :)
This was Lydia in the nativity as can you guess? a lamb or something? I even combed her hair for her.
This is us as lambs/donkeys in the Christmas nativity.
The classic cousin trio here! Macyn, Wendy and I were all born close together and have been great friends ever since!
Check this little guy out! Especially those little animal hands!
The kiddos...look at Eva in her little wiseman get up and little oakley with the scrunched face.
Zach and Eva, wismen from the East.
We tricked Eva into being a wiseman by putting her little minnie mouse stuffed animal in the box so she could carry minnie around.
Eden was Mary, but she would say that her name was "Married"
Eva and Unlce Haydo down at Riverwoods.
Eden and Bethany at Thanksgiving point to see the Reindeer.
Looking at the Reindeer that were very very small.
This little one cracks me up. She woke up from a nap, climbed in her little sister Leila's pack and play and played Alien, her made up name was "SipSap". The Static got the best of her!


We played in the snow until we froze.
Eden and Eva's favorite was the snow man "clifford" that we made.

The break was so great! In fact other than the fun things we went out and did, we watched almost every Jane Austen movie we could get out hands on. We watched the full Pride and Prejudice, Emma (3 versions, watched multiple times!), We then watched sense and sensibility, and who knows all the other movies like that out there. It was definitely a blast.

Silly Gooses

So isn't it the greatest thing to have the "funnest" husband ever. Isn't it wonderful that there is never a dull moment in life with the one you love? Zach always keeps me giggling....

Check out Zachs hat, and the surprise kiss as we almost flopped into the pier!
Just look at him, how can I not join in his fun?!
I just had to add this silly picture of my niece Eva in...She always puts a smile on my face!



I LOVE YOU ZACH ATTACK!!!!

Iris

Zach wrote this beautiful poem for me. He is AMAZING!!!

Dear Kylie,

My Iris.

She is royal

like the purple that flows in petals

how the yellow laughs with glee

I want to hear that yellow

inspiration

The smell

The symbol

she is my iris

my wife

I adore her

water her with kisses

and hold her deep in my soil arms

how I love her

she is growing

I want to keep her pure

alive

and well

but alas

I am but earth

and cannot help this flower

she will die

at someday

her petals fall

like rain

it's sad yet

she as left behind

seeds

posterity

multiples come forth

from this

faithful iris

how she will

last and has lasted

she will come again

she will come again

when the sun rises

she will be an immortal

Iris

Royal as she is

purple

And how we will all know

at that dawn

the beauty of

mothers love

love,

Zach

Crazy Finals week!

So this week has been crazy and it is only Tuesday! We have been trying to get our finals done, not to mention all the dishes that have been piling in the sink for a week...due to lack of time!...Tonight I was laying on couch feeling really sick. Zach came home from one of his finals and picked up his guitar and began to play and sing for me. He is the best. Really I wish I had a picture of him playing and singing tonight! He improvised a song about when we first met to where we are now. It made me get a little teary eyed because it is amazing to think of all the memories we have together, where we have been and where we are going.

Love is so wonderful. I am so glad that I have a husband who sings me songs, helps me feel better, can always make me laugh, and he is just all around good. I love you Zach!

Thanksgiving Feast 2010

So we recently got back from Arizona where we spent Thanksgiving. It was great.

Until I find some Thanksgiving pictures....Above is a little picture of Zach and I...I performed in a Halloween show for Manti Music and Dance. Zach was wonderful and came to see me do some ballet. The dance I did was very cool because I wore a glow in the dark tu tu and there were black lights. It was very neat. I will post a video soon:)

Anyway is'nt my Mr. so handsome? I sure think so.

Only in Ephraim...

So, Only in Ephraim do you pull up to the gas station, your car breaks down, and then 5 guys (random guys) might I add (except for Zach who is the 2nd man in from the left.) come up and start helping to fix your car! It is amazing! And they fixed the problem that even the auto shop could not figure out! (Thanks Aaron!) Ephraimites are the best. We, us and our married friends, were headed for a wonderful trip to the American Fork temple, because the Manti temple was closed for cleaning. We would not of gotten very far if it was not for these helpful men!

We love Ephraim!

ps. I took the picture from inside the car :)
