MY BIRTHDAY!

yesterday was my birthday, which was really fun. matt is the best husband and got me a 90 minute massage and 60 minute facial at the new spa in town. he did a really great job on that gift, because normally he is into more logical gifts like knives. it was so awesome, he had to work, so today we are going out shopping and to dinner. i had to be in charge of our ward's play groups so we made turkey hats and taught the kids a thanksgiving song. they looked so cute!! all in all it was an ok bday, but it did make me miss my mom. she used to make us a special meal and chocolate cake. and i missed sharing my bday with whitney a little too, but it was a fun bday. i know that everyone wants picts too, so i am adding some from halloween. kyle was a cow, and matt and i were farmers, it was cute!!!

little momma's boy!

i never write i know. i am terrible about it. here is a couple new pictures of us. things are going really good.this is matt's last week of the fire academy and he will start his shifts next week.i have never seen him so tired or sore, but he loves it so much. he has his graduation on friday, so i am really looking forward to supporting him on this, it means more to him than gratuating with his degree!! kyle and i have been trying to come up with stuff to do since it has gotten cold, so we go to the stake center by our house and he rides his bike and we have a picnic. its seems like everyday we get together with other moms and their 2 yr olds and do something. (today we had a pizza party).it is really fun to play with kyle. well, i hope that everyone is doing well!!

so i guess i was tagged...

before i get my "tagged" answers, i have to tell everyone that Matt got a great job. he is the newest firefigher/paramedic for the Idaho Falls FD, which is so dang exciting!!

a couple pictures

kyle is so funny! he is putting out a fire with the hose from our bicycle pump and laughing at us when we were acting crazy!! he is so cute!

there has been a lot going on...

there has been so much going on since i last posted. we have been to California, back to Idaho for me to finish classes ( which i just found out that i got all A's and one B+) and now we are in Chicago. then we leave here on the 1st of august to go home to Idaho. matt has a golf outing with friends on the 7-8 th and i leave for Texas to see my parents on the 15th-21st. its going to be fun!!
anyways we are having so much fun here. kyle is definatley a two year old by the way he has started to act, but now he can say "please" so we make him say it on a regular basis. he is spending as much time as he can with Deb-Deb, and she acts crazy (does her little dance) and he laughs and covers his eyes because he is so embarassed. its so funny, and something we can all relate to. well, that is about it for now!! ( i will post pictures later)
