7 Months Old!

2010-06-27T16:45:00.011-06:00

I cannot believe how fast time has gone by but this little girl is now 7 months old. She is such a good baby and is a little too attached to her mom and dad. We have learned in the past little while that she is going to be a handful. We thought Tony was busy, but I think she will surpass her brother on this one. She is into anything and everything she can find and loves to play in Tony's room. Kayla adores her brother and wants to be as big as he is. We all love and adore her and who wouldn't especially with that smile!

A few of my favorite things!

Standing up
Getting into the DVDs and everything else
Bath time
Being outside
Playing with her brother's toys (especially the piano)
Saying ma-ma ( and smiling at dad when she does)
Loves the freedom of being able to move on her own.
Snuggling with her cabelas bear
Anything and everything Tony does.
Dogs!

Father and Son outings

2010-06-15T10:17:00.021-06:00

Tracy and Anthony have been going on father and son outings. I tried to get Tracy to post this, but its been two weeks since I asked so I will do my best. The first outing was on Memorial Day weekend and Anthony got to go see Thomas the tank engine. When asked how it was he simply replied, "it was fun". Thanks to Amanda and her family for letting them stay and going with them. Tony had a blast and is still pretending that he is having sleep overs with Kade and Kendal. Sorry about the little guy getting car sick in your vehicle Amanda. While the boys were gone I did a lot of reading and Kayla did a lot of sleeping. We rarely have peace and quite time around our house these days.

His favorite souvenir was a Thomas tattoo.

FATHER AND SON CAMP OUT 2010

Kolob Reservoir

Its hard to catch any fish when you throw rocks in the lake, but it sure entertains the kids.

Waiting for the BIG ONE.

Eating is always a good way to pass the time when fishing.

A little of everything.

We are a little behind in posting some pictures on the blog. We have been busy around here with getting a yard, playing outside all day, and our every day to day hassles. I have been listening to books and scrapbooking rather than posting pictures on the blog. Kayla is now 5 months old and is getting bigger and bigger. She turned 5 months and got 2 teeth on the bottom all with in one week. Anthony spends every minute he can outside now that he has some grass, a trampoline, and a sand box to play in. He is constantly on the go. So here are a few random shots from the past couple of months. Meanwhile Kayla is learning how to scoot around while I am posting this blog. She has now made it off her blanket, and if she is anything like her brother nothing will slow her down.

Kayla had some new pictures taken a few weeks back.

We got lots of cute pictures for how tired she was that day.

Anthony and Kayla trying on new headbands I bought for her. I think Anthony looks like somebody from the 80s.

Kayla demonstrating her new talent.

I really need to quit waking up at 6 am.

It looks like he is getting ready for the pinewood derbies.

Its a good thing Dad has real ones on the side.

Anthony has been into making pizzas.

Blessing Day!

Here are some pictures from Kayla's blessing. It was such a special day and we want to thank everyone for coming down and sharing this time with us. My mom made her dress. It turned out great. I'm glad she is willing to do this and create special keepsakes.
Proud parents.

A picture with the grandparents.

Harry Potter Sighted!! That is at the local walmart.

2010-01-28T19:53:00.003-07:00

The other day while we were all shopping in Walmart Tony spotted Harry Potter. He was so excited to see that Harry was still shopping just like he was. Tracy and I looked around and sure enough there was a boy with glasses, messy brown hair, and pretty skinny right in front of us. He had all the same characteristics as the real character. I think Tony failed to notice the whole family was sporting glasses as well. We are still laughing about it and wondering how many other kids that are three can recognize Harry Potter. This particular three year old must spend too much time with his mom, and encourage her craze for anything Harry by watching the movies with her during the afternoons when nothing else is going on. I just hope he grows up with a love for reading the books instead of just watching the movies.

Ice Fishing with Dad

2010-01-18T21:55:00.015-07:00

Tony was sure excited to go ice fishing with Devin Monroe, Carter, and dad. It was a good thing Devin had an Ice fishing tent because it was cold and snowy when we first got there. The fishing was slow, so we went and played on the lake.

Tony thought it was pretty cool that he could stand on the lake.

Being pulled around by Devin.

Watch out for the fishing hole!

I can't see, and I don't care.

Wipe out!

An attempt to capture her cute smile.

All dressed up and too tired to go anywhere.

Do I have my dad's hairline or what?

She already has the scowl down.

CHRISTMAS 2009-things to remember

Santa flying in on a blue helicopter (Tony was close to being first in line to see Santa until it was more exciting to watch the helicopter fly away. Thus, they ended up around 150th in line.)
What did Santa bring you Tony? Yo-Yo (because that is what he got for sitting on Santa's lap)
Letters To Santa: 1 yellow present, 1 green present, 1small toy for his stocking and 1 small present for Kayla because she is still little.
Trying to take pictures of them both in their Christmas jammies and Tony holding the binky in her mouth to keep her from crying.
We have never seen Tony pose so much for the camera
Getting a book for Christmas and reading it to us before he even broke into the big presents from Santa Claus.
So excited to get a wagon, a big mack hauler, a remote control fire truck, but even more excited to see the toys Santa brought Kayla.
Tony trying to take and keep Tracy's Utah cup several times. We kept finding it in his wagon with the rest of his presents.
Christmas fun with Grandpa and Grandma Munson and being pulled around by Grandpa in his wagon.
Kayla getting so warn out by the festivities she fell asleep before Tony was even done opening up presents.
Not having to pick out my own Christmas gift. Thanks for the zune babe!

KAYLA MAE-1 MONTH

ANTHONY SCOTT-3 YEARS

1 month old!!

2009-12-14T12:25:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Kayla is already a month old. Here are a few shots from her first month. She is such a good baby and is growing bigger every day. We took a picture of Kayla and Ryann and they are the same size even though Ryann is 2 months older. I think my favorite pictures are the ones with Tony. As time goes by he is a little more excited to have his sister around. Hope you enjoy.

I'm Finally 3!

2009-12-06T10:18:00.008-07:00

Anthony finally had his 3rd birthday. He has been looking forward to this for months now. The only thing he asked for was one more turn piece for his track, but just like always he was well taken care of and received lots of fun presents. Thanks everyone. He has played with and enjoyed every single one. We decided he doesn't need Christmas, but I am sure Santa will still visit. This is what happens when you have your birthday so close to the holidays. Everything comes all at once so it seems like a lot. Tony refuses to sit still and pose for the camera anymore so here are a few shots of all the birthday action.

Happy Birthday little buddy thanks for being a wonderful son. You always keep us on our toes. We love your little comments and how excited you get. You had everyone laughing when you were so excited to receive a hundred dollars($5).

Thanks everyone for making this a fun birthday.

We no longer live with Tony he is now Handy Manny. I needed a fix it man around the house and now I have one with singing tools and all.

Blowing the candles out on his Thomas the train cake.

He had lots of help opening up his presents.

Tony was playing at Grandma's while waiting for the baby and jumped off a chair and broke both bones in his arm just above the wrist.

Tony was sure excited to meet Kayla, since he could not visit her at the hospital due to the swine flu restrictions.

Kayla Mae, 8lb 4 oz 20 in long, Mom and baby are both doing good. She's pretty cute (I think)

Tony needed a popcicle while I carved the pumpkins

Waiting for Trick or Treaters. A few of them got a big trick when Tony jumped out of the bathtub and wanted to hand out candy naked.

Can you name this species?

2009-10-01T21:32:00.004-06:00

Today while gazing out my window I noticed this little guy trying to cross the street. So to add some excitement to our day Tony and I went to investigate. I thought for sure we had discovered a desert tortoise. I decided to call Tracy since he is tortoise certified. Tony soon got bored and we went back in the house and left it to continue on its way. Tracy decided to contact the turtle guys. Next, thing I know some guy was calling my cell phone telling me to put it in a box and keep it until they could come and get it. We thought we were doing something good to help save an endangered species, until we learned it was someones pet from our neighborhood. Apparently, this guy has escaped before and they have been called in to capture the same tortoise.

Its things like this that bring amusement and some excitement to our normal daily routine. We did learn that the tortoise is a desert species from Russia and costs around a $100. So I guess we did do somewhat of a good thing.

Is It Broke?

2009-09-28T18:29:00.006-06:00

There is nothing like waiting at the Doctors and the Hospital all day to hear that Tony's elbow may or may not have a fracture. They want us to come back in a week and hopefully they will be able to get a better X-ray.

Tony hurt his arm on Sunday while jumping on the trampoline with a big kid (Dad). He was tough at the Doctors, he never cried even though the tears were building while they manhandled his poor arm to get it just right for the X-rays.

Tony will have a nice relaxing week of watching movies and playing inside, if we can get him to slow down.

FINALLY...

2009-09-16T13:26:00.007-06:00

I have finally started a blog for our family. It has taken me all summer to get this going. We have had a busy summer in the Munson family from buying a new house to going on vacation. Here are a few shots from our trip to Califonia in July. Hopefully I will be better at blogging then I am at scrapbooking.

Here is the family in front of Disneyland
