So Good

Kaya never ceases to amaze me with how good she is. Since she was born she was a good baby. She ate well, slept 6-8 hours at a time, never really cried, etc. She has always been so good and just sweet. She goes to bed at 7 every night, happily. She waves bye bye to me as I leave her room (tugs at my heart every time). She takes a nap every day, happily. She snuggles into her blankets, gives me a kiss, and just goes to bed. Seriously, it is crazy sometimes how good she is. Just when I think she can't get any sweeter she surprises me though. Like this week......we went to my baby appointment in American Fork and she was a perfect angel. She sat on the chair while I talked with the midwife. She played with the toys in the room and then listened to the baby's heart beat. She loves to hear the baby! When the heart beat starts she says, "Baby doll?". I love it! After finishing talking with the midwife, Kaya cleaned up the room, putting away the toys. She then put on her hat, put her toys in my purse, then handed me my shoes. She then grabbed her blankie and put out her hand and said "walk" (which means, 'Okay let's go mom'). She is so helpful! I don't know what I did to deserve such a good, sweet little girl, but I honestly don't know how I ever survived without her! Let's just hope this next one will follow Kaya's lead. :)

There is an end in sight

Jordan has been working on his MBA since last summer and to be completely honest it has been hard. It is an incredible program and I am grateful that Jordan is going to school. However, he is also working full time for a start up, SpinGo, that is doing well. I feel bad for even complaining because we really are so blessed. SpinGo is doing great and Jordan loves his job! We have a beautiful, sweet, healthy little girl and one on the way. We just moved into a brand new home. We have family all around us, which is the best! But, there is something about your husband being gone that is just hard. He is gone all day at work and then twice a week goes straight up to school and isn't home until about midnight. The other nights he is doing school work or getting caught up on work. He has so much on his shoulders but he continues to be my happy, incredible, focused husband. Even though Jordan is gone a lot and we are crazy busy, he never loses sight of what really matters. He will stop work and meet Kaya and I for lunch if we aren't going to see him for a while. He calls on his way to and from school just to say hi and that he loves us. I am so blessed to have such an incredible husband! And, there is now an end in sight. Graduation is the first part of December and I must admit that it is going to be the best Christmas present ever! My husband! Kaya will be 2 1/2 and Jade will be about 9 months. Jordan will be graduated and more time can be spent just being at home. I can't wait for Christmas! ha ha

A Great Day with Kaya May

Today Kaya and I had such a fun day together. We didn't do anything really crazy or spectacular but the day was perfect in my eyes. We spent the morning playing outside in the front yard, which Kaya absolutely loved! This winter has been an extreme one and this week it has finally been somewhat warm. Maybe Spring really will come. :) After playing outside for a while we decided to have a picnic on the front lawn. We got a bunch of snacks, put out a blanket, and just sat down together and talked and ate. It really was perfect. Just me and my girl. Kaya then took a 3 hour nap, allowing me to get a lot of work done and have time to take a nap myself. This was great needed! After nap time, Kaya and I went and ran some errands. We went to Macey's to stock up on some things for when the baby comes. Kaya drove us around the store in her awesome race car shopping cart. She was really into it and really thought she was driving. She drove us over to the bakery, where we both got ice cream cones! Gotta love Macey's! Everything about the day really was perfect! Kaya was so happy and the entire day was just about me and her. Man I love that girl. It was the perfect day before this next little one comes.
