Yesterday I kept Natalie home from school because she was having breathing problems. Since my Natalie LOVES school, she gets very sad when she has to miss it. So I told her we'd make it a fun day. It was very nice to spend the day with my girls. Natalie's favorite part was decorating a "doll cake". I remember doing this when I was little and I thought it was the coolest. She had a blast decorating the dress of her doll and specifically asked me to put it on our blog so grandma could see it. I think it turned out very pretty. Watch out Vera Wang.

Hello 2010

This blog post is way overdue. Rather than write lots of separate posts about what our little family has been up to I'll just do a quick overview:

-Celebrated Thanksgiving with my family(poor Kyle had to work)
-Found out Kim and Ryan are having a girl and that Xan and Jason are expecting as well!
-We got to meet Elder Cook when he came to set apart Kyle's dad as our Stake President. Very cool for Natalie to meet an apostle.
-Leah started laughing and rolling over.
-Kyle turned 31 and we did NOT have a party ;)
-Grandma Bailey's annual Christmas party.
-Decorating gingerbread houses that my dad made(poor Kyle missed this one too)
-Celebrated Christmas with family(poor Kyle had to work)

-We got a new addition to our family: Rainbow, Natalie's fish, our first pet ever and possibly the only animal she's not allergic to.

-Hartley's developmental evaluations came back showing she qualifies for assistance, we're excited to get that started and hopefully get her talking.

-Natalie lost another tooth(I pulled it out so she'd stop whining and eat her dinner haha)
-Kept busy with our church callings.
-Rang in the new year(poor Kyle had to work and we missed the big party in Safford, sad)
-Church time changed to 3PM(not sure how we'll do with this!)
-Celebrated our 3rd anniversary(poor Kyle had to work-are you seeing a kinda rotten trend here?)
-Threw a baby shower for Kim while she and Ryan were in town.
-Took a nap.
And now we are so happy to slow down now that the holidays are over. Hopefully this year brings lots of fun and new things to our family(except new babies, no babies this year). We have plans for home improvements and maybe a trip or two but mostly just enjoying time with our little family while we're still little.
