Kyla's Picture
Here is a recently updated picture of Kyla. This first one is funny because she ended up getting into a chocolate bar that we didn't even think she'd be able to get into. But she somehow got it and was eating it. It was all over her face, hands, clothes and floor...silly girl! The next one is of her in her toy box. The last one is her is-it-okay-if-I-play-with-this? look. :) Soon to come...Pictures of us in NYC!
Alright so there have been a few things that have been happening recently.
One--Kyla is 9 months old and just got her first cold followed by an ear infection. Luckily it hasn't been very bad at all and we caught it really early. She's on antibiotics and is doing well. She crawls all over the place and gets into everything except for her toys. She's definitely curious so I try to use my imagination to help her explore and do new things. Any ideas would be great! She does so many cute things. We have this picture of Christ in our living room and one day she looked at it for awhile and smiled and was really happy. I told her that that was Jesus, although I'm sure she already knew. Well then I asked her later, "Kyla, where's Jesus?" She got a big grin on her face and looked directly at the picture. It's amazing how close children are to the Spirit. Just yesterday I bought a bunch of Jesus pictures and laminated them. I'm going to put a keyring on them and that'll be her reverent church book for now.
Two--Hyrum and I just got back from NYC! He had his expenses paid for by oreo because him and a bunch of his friends got together and submitted an oreo jingle for their jingle contest they were having. They made it to the Top 10, got voted by friends and family to be in the Top 5 and won $1000 and a free trip to NYC to compete for the $10,000 grand prize. Unfortunately, they didn't win, but it was still a great experience in and of itself. He took Kyla and I along with him (we paid our way of course) and were only in the hotel to sleep. We were constantly doing something. We got to take a ferry across the bay to Staten Island and on the way saw the statue of liberty, went to the National Museum of History, walked along Times Square and a bunch of other places, took the subway to different places, shopped, and so much more. Hyrum was nice enough to watch Kyla for a night at the hotel while I went to see the Broadway musical Les Miserables. It was so amazing. I sat in the 3rd row and saw their facial expressions and even saw them spit when they sang. :) It was incredible. There was nothing like it. We definitely had fun. The bad news about that trip is on our returning home, our flight was delayed, we missed our connecting flights, stayed the night in the airport, lost Hyrum's watch, jacket and my brand new NY sweater that I just bought, and drove in snow from SLC back to Rexburg. But it was still a great trip overall of course!
Three--My friend Bonnie is coming to visit me next week with her cute little baby Makella. I am so excited to see her and spend some quality time together. Hyrum has a lot of catching up to do with school since we were gone for 4 days in NY so he'll be extremely busy and I'll be lonely so it'll be so much fun to have her here.
Four--Sad news: My grandpa (Steve, my step-dad's dad) just died the other day. I never met him before but he was a great person. Our prayers are with Steve and the rest of the family for their loss.
Well that's about all that's been going on here. I'll do some more updates later.

Just Starting Out
Hello everyone!
A few of my friends and family have a blogger so I thought that I would try it out. Just to introduce the family a little we have Hyrum, me--Amiee, and our little daughter Kyla. She is 6 1/2 months old and is soooo close to crawling! She can already make her way across the room and get what she wants, so she's already a little trouble maker. We hope that she will start crawling soon though (although I'm sure once she is, we'll be saying that we wish she was still immobile. :)) Anyway, I'll try to keep this thing updated as much as possible. Hope you enjoy! We love you!
