Valentine's Day Masacre

Every year 97.1 ZHT and Fox 13 news do a cake dive called the Valentine's Day Masacre.  Its an event where 97 women dive into 1 cake to try and find the grand prize (a diamond ring).  I was one of those women today!  It was so crazy but so much fun!  We got to the Valley Fair mall at 7am and waited until 7:45 when we got to dig in.  I had to pretty much use all my strength to stay up and not get trampled haha.  There were girls flying everywhere and climbing on top of me and sitting on my legs. The cake also shortly after diving in turned to pure dough!  Ugh!  I even heard some girls were eating the cake as they were digging!  Gross!! (Let me remind you that there were not only feet and hands in this cake but entire bodies, gum, glasses and socks!) Sadly I did not find any of the prizes but still had a good time!  I will totally do it again!  Here are some pictures that I got off of 97.1 ZHT.com.  I was also on the news, they showed me quite a bit.  Im so glad Todd suggested I sign up for this!  Thanks Todd and Mom for coming and watching me!!  Also for all of you who took the time to watch me on the news!!

2 Years!

So Monday was our 2 year Anniversay!  I can not believe it's already been 2 years since I married the love of my life!  So we weren't planning on doing anything too fancy (or so I thought).  So as I'm getting in my car after work I noticed my new dress and shoes sitting on my seat with a note saying, "Put this on, no questions asked."  I was a little freaked out at first cuz I did not see Todd anywhere.  So after trying to call Todd to see what was going on and him saying just go I finally went into work and changed.  When I came out Todd was standing by the car waiting for me.  So he took me out to dinner at the Melting Pot.  (Their fondue, cheese and chocolate, is AMAZING!!)  It was so fun to be all dressed up and go to a nice place.  After that I thought we were going to go pick up Kayson from his parents house but Todd said he wanted to drive around for a bit in Salt Lake.  He told me we were going to go see Elizabeth Smart's house haha!  So while I'm thinkin we are on the hunt for her house he pulls in to the Anniversary Inn.  I totally thought he was joking cuz come on it was Monday night and I had to work the next day!  But nope he was dead serious...  So we got to spend the night there!  It was also our first night away from Kayson, which was pretty hard for me!  But all in all it was such a wonderful anniversay!  Thank you so much Todd!!  It was the best night with the best person!  I love you so much!  Happy Anniversary!!

Here is our engagement picture haha!  Just thought you might want to see what we "used" to look like :)

December

This has been such a fun and eventful December! Kayson took his first step on my birthday, turned 10 months old, had his first Christmas and to top off his first step took 4 steps in a row today!! Kayson is getting so big I can hardly believe it! He has just recently had a big growth spurt and is looking more and more like a toddler instead of my little baby! He says Mama, Dadda, ball, doggie, teddy, Skyler and babba. He is not a big fan of his baby food anymore so he now eats whatever we eat and LOVES it!  Kayson loved opening all his presents!  He unwrapped most of his presents pretty much by himself.  His favorite toy I have to say was his baby doll.  I don't care what anyone says, Im glad my little boy has a baby doll!!  Santa brouhgt him some pretty neat things and I can't wait to do this again!

On Christmas Eve we went and looked at the lights at Temple Square.  It was alot of fun but very cold!  Kayson was all bundled up and warm and loved looking at all the lights.

  Kayson standing all by himself!  He is such a natural!

I just had to take a picture of him in his diaper and bow tie!  Way too cute!

Kayson loves playing with his friends!  Here is Kayson and Covey actually playing together instead of just staring at one another..

King of the presents!!!

YIPPEE!!

Last night Kayson slept through the night for the FIRST time! He has never done that! He went from 9:00 to 5:30, then just sat in his crib playing until 6!! We are soo excited! It has made such a huge difference switching to Soy formula!

9 Months!!

Yesterday Kayson turned 9 months!! Can you believe it?? I surely can't! He is such a big boy! He went to the Dr. for his 9 month apointment and weighs in at..... 23.6 lbs and is 28 3/4 inches! Some of his accomplishments are:

• eating table foods (he loves bread and mashed potatos)
• pulling himself up on EVERYTHING and walking while holding on
• walking with his walker
• has two cute teeth

We also found out that he is allergic to milk so he has to be on soy formula now. I can already see such a big improvement on how he is feeling! He still has a bad cough and a bad buggery nose but the Dr. said that should clear up within a couple weeks! We just love our little bug so much and are so glad he is in our family!!

Allergy?

So I think Kayson has a milk allergy!! We switched him from his Gentlease formula to the Costco brand a couple weeks ago and Im just now putting all of his "sickness" together. For that past couple weeks Kayson has been so fussy and grumpy which is completely not like him!! He has also had a bad stuffy/runny nose, a bad cough, a blow out EVERY morning, eczema, fluid behind his ear and has not been sleeping very well. I was freaking out thinking what could be going on with him until I thought well Im Lactos Intolerant so maybe he is... So today at work Todd sent me a link of symptoms of a milk allergy and Kayson had ALL but the colic symptom!!! I feel soo bad that he has been so miserable for the past couple weeks and I didn't put it together sooner! He has his 9 month apointment on tuesday so until then Im going to switch him back to his old formula and see if that helps him feel better!!! Poor little guy!
