October in Review

Here are some pictures of some of the things we did as a family this October. It has been a very busy and exciting month. For those of you who don't know we also found out that we will be having a little boy in March. Daniel is so excited to have a brother. Kaylie is excited about the baby, but would really like it to be a sister.

On Columbus Day Jeff and I took to the kids to a pumpkin patch and had a blast. We are planning to make this a family tradition. We all really enjoyed the fresh, hot apple cider donuts. YUM!!!!!! There is also a video of Daniel trying to roll down the Jack and Jill Hill. It is hilarious!

A couple of weeks later the kids got to carve and paint their pumpkins. Daniel wanted to try and carve a pumpkin for the first time. He picked out the design and I helped him cut out the mouth and even up the eyes and nose, but he had a blast scooping out the inside. We later roasted the seeds and he and Jeff loved them. Kaylie loved painting her pumpkin. She put all different colors on it but in the end the all messed together to make a tan pumpkin, but she loved it.

Daniel excitedly told me he wanted to be a frog this year for Halloween, but not any old green frog, he wanted to be a poison's tree frog. Talk about a homemade costume this year. Kaylie wanted to be a ladybug. I had fun making both kids costumes this year. We had our cousin's come over and went to our Ward's Trunk or Treat. The kids had a lot of fun acquiring their candy, but they loved looking at it all afterwards; especially Kaylie. It will be interesting to see what they want to be next year.

This set of pictures is of the kids having fun in the fall leaves this year. It took Kaylie awhile to want to roll and play in the leaves like her brother and when she finally did my battery died on my camera. That seems to be how it always works though. Here is hoping for another nice day so we can try for some more pictures.

Last but certainly not least are some fun pictures of the kids in October. The upper left hand corner picture is of the two of them dancing before church one Sunday. I had to put the one of Kaylie asleep on the couch in because she looks like such a cute angel and because she has decided for the most part to give up naps. Here is to growing up. Daniel and Kaylie both love to draw. Lately Daniel has been asking me to help him spell, which in and of its self is funny because I am a horrible speller. Here is to the day when he wants more than family names or cat and dog. Now Kaylie is wanting to spell like her big brother, lets hope they are both better than I am.
That is all now. I have a feeling November is going to fly by just like October did. Until next time. Enjoy!!!!

Life for the Yeager's

So it has been three months sense I have posted. Been a little busy and having a lot of fun. We have had a wonderful summer. We took a road trip to Ut. and along the way stopped in Ohio, S. Dakota, Wyoming, Missouri, Wisconsin and W. Virginia. Maybe someday I will post all the pictures but for now I will start with the most recent happenings in our family.

Daniel started kindergarten this past Monday. He has had a great week. On Monday morning I was able to get some great pictures of him and some good ones of Kaylie because she started pre-school Tuesday morning. Jeff is busy with a new school year, church and home. I was recently put into the YW's as the 2nd counselor, and I'm starting to get back on my feet after a few months of throwing up and being utterly exhausted. Yes, this means that our family is expecting baby #3, due the middle of March. We will be finding out in about a month what we are having. Daniel is routing for a boy.

So life is busy, but great. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Two-wheeler Time

Daniel has been learning how to ride a two wheel bike this week. This is video is after two days of practice. I have been trying to get a video of Kaylie riding her tricycle, but she is a little harder to video tape. However both kids road their bikes tonight from our house to the near by park and back. I couldn't believer Kaylie actually pedaled the whole way. Both out kids our growing up way to fast.

Zoo Day

During the beginning of May a whole group of us went down to the Bronx's to go to the zoo. Here are a few pictures of the kids. Unfortunately we got separated from one family and I don't have any pictures of their kids. We had a bast seeing the baby lions and lots of other animals. It was a great day. Can't wait to do it again this fall.

Fun Pictures

Here are just a few fun pictures of the kids from the past couple of months. The first two are of Kaylie outside one morning while Daniel was at pre-school. She was playing in our Lilly of the Valley field in our back yard and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pictures of my beautiful little girl.

This one is of Daniel playing quietly one afternoon while his sister took a nap. My little boy is sure growing fast.

This picture is of Kaylie trying on her new big girl underwear. Unfortunately life has been to crazy to devote several days in a row to potty training. Here is hoping for time in June.

This is just a very silly picture of Daniel when he had a shaggy mane. It was so long. His curls were even starting to come back, and he hated feeling his hair on his ears. Every time I look at this picture it just makes me laugh, Daniel however someday won't think it is to funny, but for now he laughs with when looking at it.

Seed Planting

This April we worked on our backyard getting it ready to plant grass seed. Here are a few pictures of the kids out helping Jeff and I.

Easter Pictures

Here are a few of the pictures we took Easter morning. I couldn't pick my favorite of the kids so I put a lot of them into a collage. Hope everyone had a grea Easter weekend. If the pictures are to small double click any picture and it will make them bigger.

Easter Wish

To our families: We hope each of you have a great Easter Day. We love you.

Baptism Weekend

So as many of you know my cousin got baptised this past weekend. My sister flew in from UT for it, and several of my cousins that live in Greenwich came. However the night before the baptism my sister and I were up very late finishing cakes and getting things ready to leave early Saturday morning to head to Greenwich. Well at about 11:30 at night I start to hem Jason's pants for the baptism. Now he is 6'4". For many reasons, most of them on the silly side I had my sister try his pants on and in the end after many laughs we decided she could do her own weight loss commercial.

Here is one right before the baptism of Jason, Jeff and the Missionaries.

Now, I love this one because it looks like Jason has a halo around his head. Remember he is 6'4".

I am so happy for you Jason.

Having Fun

Here is a picture of the kids playing horsey-ride, as well as the dancing video below. They were having a fun time that night and did not want to go to bed. Can you tell?

One night I caught the kids dancing together before bed. I love the tune Daniel is singing while dancing. Sorry for it being sideways. This was the better of the two videos.

Spring Is Here??????

We have had some gorgeous weather the past couple of days. The kids have enjoyed some picnics at the park and are loving being able to be outside in the sun shine. Lets hope it sticks around.



This morning we were coming home from VT and saw some bikes for sale. We knew Daniel was going to need a new bike this year and we found the one below at a great price. He was so excited to use his own money to buy himself the bike. He is also excited to learn how to ride without training wheels soon. My baby is growing up so fast. Tonight I register him for kindergarten. WOW, how time has flown!

"No Mommy I Can Do It"

Kaylie insists on dressing herself most days. One morning I was able to get the camera and get pictures of her putting on her socks. I love the concentration, and then when she realized what I was doing she turned her back on me. You got to love 2 year olds.

Fun in February

At the end of February we got over a foot of snow in one day. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids playing in it while Jeff and I shovel out one of our neighbors drive way for him.
