First real injury...

My sister brought her boy Mason over to play with Kayson for a few days.  They are about 4 months apart in age...Kayson is the oldest.  They played so hard and had a lot of fun.  But Kayson left with an ouchy on his eye.  He was being too creative and fell.  He didn't even cry that much...just looks worse than it really was.

Loves to ride mom's horses...

Kayson realized that riding horses is one of his favorite things to do.  He is big enough and smart enough to hold on by himself while I lead him around.  As we pass the other horses in the pasture, Kayson waves to them.  What a cute boy...I just love him!!!

Trip to Oklahoma...

I went with my parents to see my sister that lives in Oklahoma. I took Kayson with me and it was quite the trip. Going through security at the airport wasn't that bad. I had a carry on and Kayson's stroller/carseat. They had me take Kayson out of stroller and carry him through the metal detector thing, and they sent his stroller and car seat through xray machine on conveyor belt. His stroller got stuck because they didn't collapse it all the way. And they couldn't get it back out, it took two of them to figure out what to do. After that, we made it to our gate with 10 mins to spare. I changed Kayson's diaper and thought we would be fine with the whole diapering thing til we landed in Oklahoma. We got on plane and took off. The flight attendant told me to nurse Kayson so that his ears would pop as we were taking off. That worked out fine, and he fell asleep. I was so glad he was being good. He woke up about half way through the flight screaming his head off. I tried finding his binki, but soon realized that it was in his car seat and probably fell out when it went through the conveyor belt at security. It was the only binki that I had brought with me. So, we still had an hour left of our flight and Kayson would not calm down. Everyone was staring at me, at least that is what it felt like. We were hitting turbulance, so the seat belt symbol was on, but I had no choice but to stand up in the aisle and rock him. It worked, he calmed down. Thankgoodness, but then I could feel him filling up his diaper. I knew that I needed to change him soon, but the line to the bathroom was 7 people deep, so I waited and waited. He kept filling and filling. It started to come out the top of the diaper, so me and my mom stripped him down on the fold out tables and changed him. I didn't know what else to do but put his clothes and dirty diaper in a barf bag. The first stop we made when we got to Oklahoma was Target to buy more binki's.

Hiking in Kolob...

We drove up to Kolob and hiked around a little. A storm was heading in, so it was a bit cold.

Now into January...

The weather was unseasonably warm, so we went out in the boonies and roasted a hot dog. Kayson loved sitting in the camp chair and staring at the fire.

5 Generation pic...

Just before Christmas, we visited my great gma, which is Kayson's great-great gma. He was so good with her. He talked to her and gave her kisses and just snuggled. She was so glad to see him. Kayson is my mom's first grandchild, my grandma's first great grandchild and my great grandma's first great-great grandchild.

Kayson's blessing...

Kayson was blessed on December 11th. Somehow in all the hustle, I didn't get a picture with Guy, Kayson, and me. This is the only picture that I took on that day. This is my mom and dad and youngest sister Samantha.
