Merry Christmas!

So this year Tim decided to start some traditions. So he helped Kyle get milk and cookies for Santa together, and helped him write a note to Santa as well. I had to find the "Twas the night before Christmas" poem online to print out(I know.. dumb.... I haven't even bought it yet) so Tim could read it to us. Suprisingly Kyle sat in his lap through the whole poem(it was really sweet to watch). Last year Tim and I did start our little tradition of wrapping and setting up Christmas together after we put Kyle to bed. Tim gets the big jobs, and I do most of the wrapping.

Kyle had a wonderful Christmas day! I think he got more than he wanted.. but the things Kyle loves most in life...(other than his Mommy and Daddy) are
1. Thomas the Train
2. Mickey Mouse
3. His car (well now it's a favorite)

He was so excited to see that Santa brought him his own car.... He also loved the gifts Mimi and Papa sent for him to open!

The Beymer's came over for brunch, and we had a great day! It is always nice to spend holidays with the people we love. We hope everyone else had a good Christmas, and has a Happy New Year! We are so incredibly thankful for all of the love we have. We are looking forward to this next year bringing us new and exciting experiences. We know we are so blessed everyday for the things we have, the health we all have, and the love we all have!

Happy Turkey Day!!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We went to my brother's house, and man did he make a spread..... 3 turkeys!!!! Which were all great! We just ate and hung out. We got one picture, and then my camera crashed, so needless to say I was really mad! I mean c'mon Christmas is coming!!!! Anyways, we want you all to know that we love you, and miss you, and also, we are so thankful for all of our family and friends. Tim and I have been blessed with so many great blessings, and so many people that love us and our son so much. We are very lucky people, and don't forget any of it for a minute!!! We are so thankful that Tim still has a job in this horrible economy, and if he didn't who knows where we would be!!! SO we all have to remember when we go through tough times, that things could be much worse and to always count your blessings each and every day!!!! Love ya!!!!

Kyle Has A Secret To Share!!!

YES!!!! It is true!!!! We are having another baby!!! I am only about 8 weeks along, but feeling it bad already!!! Yes, it came as a major shock to us, but we are very happy, and seeing this as a wonderful blessing!! Tim is for sure ready to get all this baby stuff over quickly. I am still a little overwhelmed with the thought of this, but it is sinking in slowly! So this was the best picture I could get Kyle to take with my makeshift sign.... but can't you see how happy he is to be a Big Brother!!!! SO.. our little Kist Klan is getting bigger, and we are so excited! But.. This is it!!! :) :)

Mimi was here again!!!

So my mom came to visit again about a week ago. She came in on Tim's birthday! He insisted that she be here for his special day!!! He turned 27 on the 15th.... I know a little late.... We just hung out and had dinner with our neighbors. I think he had a good day!! It doesn't take much to make Tim happy. Later on in the week, Mimi, Kyle and I went to Old Sac, and walked around... so these are just some cute pics taken of him...

Kyle's Future!

So last night Tim was working on the truck, and had Kyle out with him in the garage. I walked out to find this.... He already knows what he is doing!!! So cute to watch my little man helping his Daddy fix the truck just like his Daddy does!

Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween wasn't much of a Halloween this year. Kyle is teething again, so he wasn't very happy, so we just put his costume on and got a few pictures. Isn't he the cutest clown you have ever seen!!!!??? We didn't even take him to a pumpkin patch.. How sad!!! What bad parents we are!!! There is always next year though. We hope everyone else had a great Halloween!!

More Recent Pics

Ciarra had a Halloween dance at her school on Friday, and I got her to be Pebbles. She was so cute!! I went over and did her hair and make-up. Isn't she beautiful??!!

I gave Kyle a haircut this weekend, and wanted to have some fun, so I gave him a mohawk! Daddy wants one to match. Don't worry family, it was seriously just for fun, not for keeps... I will be cutting it off this weekend. But doesn't he look so cool??!!

Our Silly Boy!!

Just some fun and cute pics taken recently!



Kyle LOVES his little backpack. I will put it on him, and say..."ok, you going to school, by- bye!!"and he will walk away and wave bye-bye to me. It is so cute!!


Baker in training!

He is definately our little ham!


He has these foam puzzles, and one of them is a clock, he just likes to take the clock out, and put the other part over his head, and just run around with it on. I know.. he is a little dorky!!! But so dang cute!!

So this is my new wig!! After looking at these pics, I realized it wasn't on properly, so it looks really bad!! But thank you so much Mom!! I love it!!

Quick Trip Down South

A couple of weeks ago, Kyle and I went down south for a quick trip to see "Baby" blessed. I was so happy we were able to be there. The 1st couple of days, my mom and I drove to see Tami and the kids, they are back in Cali, and I haven't seen them in over a year. we had a great time helping her unpack in her new home. I miss them so much. We had a busy day the day of the blessing, got to see a lot of family and extended family. We had time for one more stop to see my Grandpa. He is always so happy to see Kyle. It is so nice to see that bond. It was a good trip, fast and very busy! We miss everyone so much and wish we lived closer. I just got a job, so that would have been my last trip down there for a long time. So here are some pics....

Kyle's Walking!!!

Kyle started walking a couple of weeks ago. It is hard to get a video though when it only lasts for a few seconds. So now that he is totally on the go, I finally got one. Sorry it is sideways, I will take one the right way soon.

Also, the 2nd video is for my sister Tami. It is him doing "SOOO BIG!!!" and giving loves! Kyle is a very sweet little boy. He loves giving kisses and just being lovey.

Pics of our 1 Year Old!!!

So, when I was down south this last time to see the adorable new babies, Ashley was also in town. She has become a really good photographer, and I asked if she could come take pictures of Kyle. Of course being the extremely kind and generous person she is, she said yes. I was so excited. She just sent me some of the pictures, and they are amazing!!! I love them!!! I thought I would share them! Again thank you so much Ash, I really appreciate it and you did a great job!

Watch out Abercrombie!!! Your future model! :)
