4 and 5 months old, and all the other happenings!

So I've been slacking, so we're gonna do 4 and 5 month updates together. To start with, here's her monthly pictures!

• Kyree is now rolling over. She rolled over from belly to back a day after she was 3 months old. Then while we were on vacation in California she rolled from back to belly, so that was just a couple weeks ago. Sometimes she start rolling and gets pretty far from where she started, but that doesn't happen very often, maybe she forgets how well she could get around if she really wanted to.
• She is getting pretty good at sitting up. I still have to always sit behind her, but I imagine in a few weeks she might be strong enough to sit all by herself. Really she would love to be running around with her brother already, but all in good time girl!!
• She is extremely ticklish and usually will laugh every day for me when I tickle her. The only other person to get her to laugh so far has been Ashton, and he really doesn't have to do anything cool, he just has to give her some attention cause she loves him so much!
• She tried rice cereal and didn't really care for it. We stopped for a while cause I thought it was causing lots of spit up, but I might have been wrong, so we're starting back up again tonight.
• She is a pretty good mama's girl, if I'm in the room and she can see me, she usually wants me. She'll sometimes do this thing where certain people will look at her, or hold her, and she instantly gives her sad lip and starts crying.
• She is finally taking a BINKI!!! And I absolutely love this fact! She is normally a pretty content girl, but it has gotten even better now that she takes the binki.
• She still totally loves her baths! She gets so excited when we are turning the water on and getting her naked.
• She's started taking naps in her crib in her own room. We are trying to start having her sleep in her room at night, its only been two nights though and its not going very good.

Jared and Hayley's wedding and California!!

So Jared and Hayley got married April 9th in the San Diego Temple! So we were able to take a trip out to California to be with them. So we left Monday and drove Monday and Tuesday, Rory had to leave on a business trip Wednesday so I stayed with Mark and Amy Wednesday and Thursday, then went to the house my parents rented on Thursday evening, picked Rory back up on Friday, and the wedding was Saturday, after the wedding we drove to Vegas, then the rest of the way home on Sunday. The trip was, well, not really a vacation it didn't seem. It was tough work. The drive actually went really good, the kids were so good!! The hard part was the hotels and Mark and Amy's house just because Rory wasn't there with me. Everyone was so extremely helpful though and I just feel like I owe the world to all the family that was around to help. Rory actually had to go on another business trip the week we got back so I went and stayed with my parents while he was gone. Jared and Hayley had a reception here that weekend so we were able to go to that. Now was are finally home and it feels so good to be back into our routine. Can't lie, i'm glad all the madness is over. Jared and Hayley's wedding was absolutely beautiful though, they seem really happy, and we are thrilled to have Hayley in the family! Here's a few pictures from everything, I really wish I had gotten lots more, but it was pretty insane so this will have to do.

My dad and Ashton are always buddies when we're together, usually takes him a while to warm up to my dad again, but once he does, they have a great time. Especially on this trip though, they were great buddies. When we were driving home I asked Ashton "are you excited to go to Ashton's house?" And he responded "No, go to grandpa's house!"

As you can see in these pictures, Laurie and Chelsea were such amazing helpers at the reception in Highland. Rory wasn't able to be there, so I was so grateful that Laurie and Chelsea jumped in and saved me!

And so more photos just from the last few months! Ready for photo overload?!

Baby Blessing and 3 Months Old!

We were able to have Kyree's baby blessing on February 7th!! It was a pretty crazy day but we had such a great time! We were lucky to have my parents staying with us that weekend since my dad is helping us with our basement, so they helped so much, I don't know if we could've done it without them. Here is Kyree in the dress she wore. This dress is special... my mom wore it, I wore it, and now she was able to wear it. It was made a by a lady in New Zealand, which is where my grandpa served his mission. My grandma has done an amazing job keeping it in such good condition considering everyone who has worn it!

We had lunch at our house after the blessing and had about 50 people here. It was super crammed, but hopefully everyone still enjoyed themselves! I was horrible at taking pictures cause there was a lot going on, but here's the ones I was able to take.

 4 generations!! I love it!

 Ashton wasn't very happy at me for taking him away from playing with all the kids, how dare I!!

And Kyree also recently hit 3 months! Here's her pictures!

• She had started sleeping thru the night and it was awesome!! I'd put her down around 10-10:30 and she would get up anywhere from 6-8. A couple times I even had to wake her up cause I was getting uncomfortable! Unfortunately she got sick and that all went out the window, but I sure enjoyed those few days of getting a full nights rest!!
• She is a pretty fussy baby except if she can see her brother, then she is a happy camper. She loves sitting in the bumbo still, and is getting more interested in toys!
• She still absolutely LOVES being naked.
• She WILL NOT take a binky no matter how hard i'm trying. I still haven't given up, I usually try numerous times a day, but still have had no success.
• Since being sick she does not like to sleep in the crib or cradle, she likes sleeping in the bouncer.
• She is a massive drooler! I probably could change her clothes 3-4 times a day just because she is so wet from all the drool and spit up. If she's at home I usually have her wear a bib to sort of help with the problem.

And for a few more of Kyree and can't forget Ashton!!
