Our first few days of vacation

Before heading home... we had to see the Temple Square lights one last time. They were as wonderful as ever. I will miss being so close to the beautiful Salt Lake Temple.

We got to Kennewick on Wednesday December 12th. And it's been a party ever since!!

Kylie turned four months old on the 13th!! She is such a little cutie! She is learning how to rollover and is laughing when we tickle her. It is ADORABLE!! :) At her 4 month check-up she weighed 10lb. 10oz. (<5%) and was 24inches long (50%).

On Thursday we went to Trevor's band recital. They started a little bit early.... so we only got hear the last song. But he did a great job! And he looked great in his Santa hat!

On Saturday the 15th Dallin, Dad, Trevor and I ran the Cable Bridge 10K. We saw Lori and Julie at the beginning of the race, they ran the 5K and did amazing! Dallin and I did better than I thought we would since we only running 3-4 times to "train."

On Monday the 17th, Dallin, Kylie and I drove to Hillsboro to check into our apartment. Unfortunately, our boxes of stuff had not arrived (even though Uhaul "promised" they would be there.) We stayed the night at our cousin Darcee's house. Brent made the most AMAZING salmon I have ever eaten. The next day our boxes arrived so we started moving our stuff in. We didn't have any help... and it decided to snow like crazy.... but we got it all done. Everything is literally thrown and piled in the front room, but we were soaking and Kylie was screaming so we didn't care. haha! We stayed another night with the Burnett's, did a little Christmas shopping (tax free!!) and then headed home on Wednesday.

This is how wet Dallin was after the first few minutes...

We took family pictures when we got home. Kylie is such a little model. Thanks Danielle for being our photographer.

Lately...

We've been extremely a little busy lately... but I wanted to get up a quick post before we go home for the holidays and madness happens. :)

So here's what we have been up to.

• Breaking out the warm clothes  

• Doing crafts (okay so it's only one... but I have a lot more planned)

• Playing with new toys

• Mastering tummy time and grabbing anything within reach

• Putting up Christmas decorations and playing with the lights

• Packing up our house... and cleaning, and sleeping on the floor. (we put all of our stuff into a two Uhaul UBoxes on Friday and Saturday.... so we have been without furniture for a few days) 

Dallin decided to wrap up in the fitted sheet for warmth

oh... and they accidentally gave us one of their storage boxes... so we had a few extra packing blankets (like 12 dozen too many...)

• Schooling- DALLIN IS DONE!!!!! no more staying up until 3am writing code!!

• Sleep training

Kylie is doing SO well! We start our nightly routine at 7:30pm. Take a bath, read a story, eat, wrap her in a blanket, turn on the mobile, give her a kiss and leave her in the pack and play. We decided to try the "cry it out" method, but we go in every 10ish minutes to comfort her- but we don't pick her up. The first night she cried for an hour and a half, and I was bawling as well.... so we went and got her. (... epic fail) The second night she cried for 2.5 hours, but eventually put herself to sleep. Don't worry it's much better now!! She is now to the point where we lay her down, and she doesn't cry at all and is asleep by the time the mobile stops playing. And she sleeps until 6am. It is amazing to actually sleep though the night. I feel rested for the first time in months.
