Okay, so here are some videos of Scott...
This first one is of him waving "HI".

This one is Scott eating an ICEE which is basically almost the same as a slurpee.

This one is Scott eating baked taters and just being a goof :)

And, last, but not by any means, least...this is a video of Scott walking. Okay, so he is using his walker toy, but it still totally counts as walking...esp. since this was only his 3rd time doing it...(and the first two times only consisted of 4 steps each). I am so proud of my big boy.

Mum,
I know you should be looking on here today for video of Scott walking, BUT I never get to uplaoding them last night and they are taking too long this morning to upload and I have to go...so I promise when I get home, I will upload the videos and post them on here...so, either you can see them later this afternoon, or you can see them tomorrow :)

I have wanted to share this video for quite a while now, and I wish I could figure out how to post the actual video, but I don't know how to go about it.
So, instead, I am just posting the web address, and since it likely will not just be a click on the link thing, just copy and paste it into the address bar.
Hope you enjoy it :)

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!This is a movie my bro-in-law Tony did up of Scott and Maigan. When I first watched it, I laughed so hard I could not talk or breathe barely...LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
p.s. Don't forget to turn off the music at the bottom of the page first.

An Ode to My Family.

You know, this is something I just gotta say...
I am amazed at the overwhelming amount of love I feel for my little family. I just look at a picture of Scott and my heart just melts and words could never describe the incredible love I feel for him. He is such an amazing child and Will and I have been so amazingly blessed to have him in our lives.
I look at pictures of him and I just laugh and want to cry, and my heart melts as I think of how beautiful he truly he...He was blessed with such a sweet and gentle spirit and I just love him so much.
And Will. Things have been so great between us. He is such a good man and he does everything he can to protect us and keep us safe and make sure we have everything he can give us. I love him so much and he is so good to me...
He is such an amazing father. I kinda liked that he had kids from a previous marraige cause I could see ahead of time the kind of father he is...and he is truly wonderful. He loves his kids so much and he would give them (and me) the world if he could. So far now, he gives us as much of the world as he can.
He truly is wonderful and I am blessed to be married to him.
We are, of course, excited to be expecting our second child together. This baby, like Scott, was a big ol' surprise...apparently that's what my pregnancies are like...big ol' surprises. Gotta love it!!! Truthfully, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love my husband, and my son to death and I can hardly wait to give just as much love to our new child (due Mar. 17).

Well, I finally did IT!!! What is IT, you may ask...well, to start off, it is something I have been trying to do for a very long time...truth be told, I'm sure at least 3 months (but mainly in the past month).
Sadly, there is a very sneaky person in my life that has made IT very hard to get...it reminds me of a quote in the movie, Mr. Deeds by the butler guy. It goes something like this... "...I think you under estimate my sneakiness, sir." I am sure this sweet, darling little person in my life is saying this everytime I try to get IT...
IT is a picture of Scott standing on his own. That kid...I tell ya...he will stand and stand and stand...then, as soon as that camera appears, "I want the camera. I don't want to stand. I know you're trying to get a picture of me mama..."
When we were at the Highland Games last weekend, he gave me all these fantastic big teethy grins with all 7 teeth showing...and not even letting him see the camera, and trying to get him to do it again...the kid senses that camera. It actually kinda bugs...lol
So, anyways, I guess I will now show you the one (and likely only) photo I will EVER have of him standing on his own...here it is...

Dang, my kid is so cute :)

What has gone on in the life of Krystin lately???
Well, for those avid readers of mine who may not be on SBO, or who are not my family or just don't know yet, as of today, I am almost 12 weeks pregnant. I will officially be 12 weeks on Monday. I tried to keep it mostly to family and my closest friends for the first while cause I wanted to make sure everything was okay and such. I had my first dr.'s appt. last week and he said all is well...that I am the right size for where I should be...so, yes, that is happy news :)
It happened sooner than we had been planning for, but I see it as a blessing. We wanted to have more children and apprently God felt we were ready for another...and who am I to argue with him???
As for cravings...shrimp cocktail. I don't think I will ever get enough...today was cheeseburgers...I had a bit, okay a lot of a junk food day today...I am not upset with myself over it cause overall I do eat healthy and one day of junk ain't gonna kill me :) On the Food Network the past couple days has been a grilling cookoff called Build a Better Burger...contestants basically make burgers but make them with lots of special ingredients...such as our favourite contestant, Jenny from Arizona (we think she is Mormon)...yesterday her burger had stuffed inside of it feta cheese and sundried tomatoes...then of course has awesme toppings :)
Well, all this grilling made me want cheeseburgers...so I had a 2 cheeseburger meal from McD's...and those fries, WOW!!! It truthfully has been too long since eating them...sad, but true.
After coming home from McD's, I went to Target to buy diapers and formula. Upon finishing there, WIll calls and asks me to go pick him up a 2 cheeseburger meal..so I do...along with a 6 pc. mcnuggets for me...lol
I am soooooo bad!!!
Will thinks the reason I am craving so much junk food today is cause it has been raining and gloomy all day...now, raining and gloomy does not mean cold...FYI!!! It was still a balmy 103 f while pouring rain...so, it was awful muggy and gross. It was horrid being outside today, which I was for 4 hrs at my mil's.
Well, it's all good, cause I am making up for my badness by eating a salad right now...YUMMY!!!
Okay, that was fun...Scott just got ahold of the dish detergent and turned the bottle upside down on the kitchen floor...at least it was the kitchen floor (linoleum) and not the dining room (carpet)...count your blessings, Krystin!!!
I would tell you alla bout Scott but I think I will save the majority of that stuff for his blog...which means I will have to go update his blog, too...dang it!!! What was I thinking???
Oh, I guess I should tell you my due date...I am due on St. Patty's Day '08 (Mar. 17) which is actually Will's half-sister's birthday (but they don't know her), but it is her birthday.
Tomorrow is a big day as well...not only do I have my fingerprinting appt. for immigration first thing in the am, but in the afternoon, I have my first ultrasound...the only thing I am not looking forward to is all the h2o that I gotta drink...never a fun thing :)
My future sil's bridal shower was last weekend and this weekend is my friend's baby shower...she had a beautiful little girl, Madison.
This weekend ist eh Highland Games up in Pleasanton, CA...we have gone the past 2 years together (Will and I) and he has gone the past 12 years...so, it's kinda a tradition that we go...well, guess who has just gotten sick...Will. So, he has said that is he does not get better he is not gonna want to go...which will really suck just cause it will...I mean, Scott was even gonna wear his kilt for the first time this year. But if daddy is sick, daddy is sick and I can't change that...sadly.
I have been getting a few scrapbook pages done recently. My new rule is taht whenever I do a page from Scott's or the family album, I have to also do a page from our wedding album...cause I really need to finish that one...well, I am proud to say that in the last few days, I have done 2 from Scott's album and 3 from the wedding album.
Well, I guess that is all for now...either tonight or sometime tomorrow I will make it a point to update Scott's blog, too, so keep checking his.

okay, YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS!!!
I figure what I will do is just tell you how to get to it so you can read all of it compared to just parts that I could copy and paste...and since I don't know how to make it link, I just figure this is easier...

go to ebay.com
in the search bar, type in the number: 130144061675
this will take you to, by far, the funniest thing I think I have ever read in my life.

Trust me when I say, this is well worth your time to read :)
I promise!!!

So I would just like to start off stating that i am fully aware of just how lame-o I am when it comes to blogging.
It's funny that when I started blogging I was blogging every day and I always had something new and funny to say...now, I'm just lame and never blog...lol
Well, as for newness here...
Scott is still getting crazy big!!! He is long and skinny and it bugs me that they don't make baby clothes to accomodate that...seriously. When I can go to the store, and buy a pair of 6 month pants (despite the face that my kid is almost 9 months) and they are still ginormous, and I mean GINOROMOUS, in the waist and barely long enough...sure I could buy 9 month pants, but the 6 month already pucker a very very ridiculous amount with a belt, it would just look ridiculous putting him in anything bigger...that's just terribly irritating. Not all babies are chubby. My baby is not chubby, he is skinny and he still needs to wear pants...I ahve two pairs of shorts for him that are size 0-3 month...1 fits him perfectly, the other is still too big...now I am not saying they would fit any 0-3 month cause that would have to be one BIG baby...I'm just saying it's sad that he will be able to wear these pants next year as shorts...lol
Scott is also quite the explorer...and it really doesn't help that we have yet to Scott-proof our place :) This is my dilemma...we need to get some sort of safety things for our cupboards without damaging them (all the less to be charged for when we move out)...now, we don't have handles on our cupboards, so that option of the sliding ones that go on handles is out of the question...sad, really, since they would do no damage...any other safety things for cupboards that I know of either need screws or stick....I guess if I had to choose between the two I would go for the sticky ones, but how would I remover any residue when we move out??? See, this is why I want my own house...then I wouldn't have this dilemma...
We have a new boxing gym opening up just down the road from us in a couple of weeks...they teach kickboxing, jiu jitsu and reguular boxing...Willr eally enjoys jiu jitsu and it really quite good at it and has been considering going back to his old gym to get back into training...Well, I was driving by this new place and they were having a pre-sale, so I stopped in...I figured out that if we cancel our membership at the gym we are at (since neither of us ever go), and Will was to sign up at this new gym, we would save about half of what we are currently paying...plus, we then don't have to pay for fees to train at his old jiu jitsu gym...so, at this new gym, he has access to all weights equipment as well as any classes offered...for half the price of us both going to the other gym.
Now what about me, you ask, cause I am now out of a membership...I figure I will go work out at the gym in our complex right across the street and once I am more in shape, I will sign up at the same gym as Will for kickboxing again...
Did any of that make sense???
My mother-in-law's birthday was last week and we threw her a surprise birthday party...it was really quite cool to meet some family on Will's side that I had never met before...and, of course, they all loved Scott.
Well, I probably should get some cleaning done...I may have to resort to washing some dishes by hand since we are currently out of dishwasher detergent...or maybe I will try to get Will to stop off at the store on his way home to buy some...I really hate washing dishes by hand.
Well, I guess that is all for now...
If you want to see any uber-cute pictures of Scott, please feel free to check out his blog.

Alright, so where to begin...I guess I should tell you about our trip to Utah :)
Well, first off, on Friday was Scott's regular check-up and we found out he had an ear infection, so the dr. gave us some medicine and some numbing ear drops so the pressure change in the plane would not hurt his ears.
Scott and I flew out on Saturday night arriving in SLC at about 2:30 am...my mum and my Aunt Madeleine came and met me at the airport...they got lost and tried having me tell them where I was in the airport...I dunno...how do I know what terminal I am in??? I didn't even know there was more than 1 terminal...lol
they found me eventually :)
Sunday morning we woke up at a ridiculous hour of day considering the time we got to bed...Aubryn and Izzy came into the bedroom (I was sleeping in the same room as Laurenne) and they all wanted to see Scott...Izzy is so sweet and cute...he has had no problems adjusting to his new family :)
This is Sunday morning...

Later that afternoon we all went to church...Aubryn was sitting next to me reading a book about dogs. In the book the dogs had a furry patch of fur on them...and Aubryn looks at me and asks (with somplete seriousness and sincerety), "Do you think there is a dead dog somewhere that is missing his fur cause it is in this book?"
I tried not to laugh cause I knew she was being serious and genuinely asking me a question, I simply stated that there was no dead dog missing its fur.
That night, Estelle, Troy and Thoma came over for dinner...I haven't seen Estelle since she got married back in '01, I think...oh, wait...that might be a lie, but I'm not sure...I may have seen her last summer when I came back to the USA, but I don't remember...anyways, they came over for dinner...here is a picture of her and Thoma :)

On Monday Scott and Maigan both had their first bubble bath...Scott enjoyed it a bit more than Maigan did...lol


First place we went on Monday was Ikea...I have had Ikea withdrawals ever since leaving Edmonton last summer...you see, I am used to living 5 minutes from Ikea, not 2.5 hrs. North or South...It was just fun to walk around there...and, of course, eat cheap Ikea food. :)
We then went out to American Fork to Shade clothing to buy me a bathing suit...I found it online and wanted it so bad...luckily, even though the store was out of stock, their warehouse was just a couple of blocks away and they had it there...YAH!!!
We also went to a church bookstore and I bought a bunch of books for Scott...I am a cheapskate when it comes to buying books, I hate spending $10 on a book, but when I find them for $1.50 or $2.00, I will buy them...I got some really cute books.
We also stopped by the Jordan River Temple in South Jordan and I took a couple of quick pictures...

On Tuesday we went swimming at an indoor play place for the kids...we had a bunch of fun...Aubryn and I went down the waterslide (which was CRAZY fast, I might add), we swam around (as well as you can swim in 3 ft. dep water...lol) and by the end of it Scott had fallen sound asleep in my arms...yes, in the water :)

On Wednesday and Thursday I don't really remember specific things that we did, although I know we did stuff :)
Oh, yeah, on Thursday night we did Christmas in July...we all drew two names and went and bought small presents for those 2 people and had Christmas...it was fun...I got a bunch of scrapbooking stuff.
On Friday we went to Temple Square in SLC...we went and saw the new movie in the Legacy theater about Joseph Smith and his life...what a truly powerful movie.
We also just wandered around Temple Square.


On Saturday we all spent the morning packing up so we could leave that evening...we mostly just went around town getting last minute stuff...we went to Super Target, Super Wal-Mart, went to the mall (mostly to look at temple sealing dresses)...
That night Scott and I got to the airport at about 8, and started our journey back home...into Las Vegas was a good plane trip...from Vegas to home was terrible...I have never been on such an uncomfortable plane ride in my life...and it totally did not help that the guy behind me kept putting his feet or legs on the back of my seat and kicking it...my back was so messed up by the time I got off that plane, that I could hardly wait til today to get to the chiropractor. Will met us at the gate getting off the plane...he was working so he helped me get my bags off the conveyor belt when they finally came through...by the time I got home and to bed it was 3am...and then I had to be up at 6 to be at my mil's...that was just horrible :)
Well, that is it for my update, BUT please go read Scott's blog, too, cause I am updating it too with a bunch of neat stuff :)

so, I wanted Kari-Lynn and Michelle to see these pages that I did and since KL doesn't really have the time to go to SBO anymore and MK isn't on SBO, I thought I would post them here to see...
it is hard to see but it says "we are FAMILY" Madisyn Kathryn Denault-10 1/2 mths. Scott Joshua Kahle-5 mths. Maegan Elizabeth Iontas Bezooyen-9 mths.

okay...I TOTALLY 1000% want to go here for July 4th next year...these fireworks are CRAZY AWESOME!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsNvCB3VaMw

sorry, you will have to copy/paste the link into your address bar to see these, but it is SOOOOOOOOOO worth it!!! I promsie!!!

So, there has been all kinds of fun stuff going on down here...
This past weekend, my sil, Christine, her boyfriend, Chris, all 7 of their kids, and his mom went camping up at Bass Lake...on Monday they came down to Fresno to visit...(I should specify that 2 of the kids are Christine's and 5 of them are Chris')...Chris, Bria and his mom went back to Sac that night, and the other boys...all 6 of them stayed down here with Christine...Gary, Will's brother, was running a firework stand so that night we set off fireworks (a couple days early, we know, but, really, who cares?!?) lol
this is all 6 boys watching the fireworks (Scott was in his snugli with me, so, obviously, he is not pictured)

On Tuesday, before all the boys came over here to go swimming, Scott had a bath and we, okay, fine, it was ALL me, decided to give him a faux-hawk!!! Sooooooooooooooooo stinkin' cute!!!

here are 5 of those 6 boys...

Then, of course, come the 4th of July...this is my first time ever being down in the USA for Independence Day...Scott and I had a good day.
Will had to sleep cause he had just gotten off work at 8 am, and had to go back to work that night, so Scott and I did stuff...we got invited over to my friend's in-laws house...Heather was the first person to introduce herself to me when I first came down to California and we have been friends ever since...her son, Joseph was blessed on Sunday and I went to her ward to see the blessing and then she invited me over with her family to her house for brownies and ice cream. So, anyways, she invited us to her in-lawa for swimming and a bbq...she also invited us to the block party at her in-laws neighbours, but I went home so I could watch the fireworks with Will. So, anyways, at their house they decided to try to set up her bro-in-law with one of my Canadian friends...so, wanting to see who some of my friends are, we looked on my facebook account and there is one friend of mine from home that he would like to get to know...so, now, I gotta get ahold of her to see if she would be open to getting to know him...
little miss matchmaker me!!! :)
Here is a picture that I took of Scott wearing his onesie I bought him in NY at Michelle's before we went out to swimming and the bbq...
this kid is just so dang cute!!!

This is a picture that I took while we were out sitting by the road waiting for fireworks...it's just a little something to show how warm it was that day...

fyi, 97 f is 36 c...the "coldest" it got that night was 86 f...that would be 30 c...so, yes, my hometown's daytime high was our nighttime low...so, basically what I am saying is, don't ever winge and moan to me about how hot it is up there...lol
cause it's not...I came into my place this afternoon around noon, and I didn't have a/c on, and it was 86 f in here...inside...at noon :) so, yeah, the a/c got turned on pretty quick.
Scott had a good time at the fireworks...he watched them in amazement and only got a bit scared in the finale...he didn't cry, he just jumped everytime one banged...and, well, in the finale, that was every half second...lol
I ended up just covering his ears andhe was fine...
this is us sitting by the side of the road waiting for fireworks with Scott playing with the American flag...

we didn't get many pictures of the fireworks cause the shutter delay is realy bad on my camera, so, we did mostly video, but I thought I would share at least 1 cool picture from the night...this one I thought was pretty cool :) it was not the best pic of a firework that we got, but the pic is pretty neat!!!

Now I am just waiting for the video to finish uploading...since the video was is about 3 mins long, it is taking FOREVER to upload to photobucket...in the time that it has taken to type all this up, only 31% of the video has been uploaded...so, to say the least, this is gonna take a while, but it's not like you are sitting here reading and waiting for it to upload, so it's not even mildly irritating to you...just to me...
maybe I will go and keep cleaning while the video is uploading...ooooooooh, wait, there is more to tell you...
last night, I was husband and babyless...that was weird.
Will decided to go up to Sacramento to go catfishing with his friend...well, since I go to my mil's in the morning and I can't watch Scott the whole time I am there, he decided to see if Christine would watch him...neither his mom or Rebecca (Gary's finacee could watch him)...so, up to Sacramento they went last night leaving me all alone. I went out to dinner with his mom to Mimi's cafe...they have the BEST french onion soup...then came home and got organized...I have been trying to get Will to help me for months to being the dressers in and get the bunk beds in and get the big shelf in...basically, get stuff in so we can get things organized...and, well, he's a procrastinator...so, while he was gone, I had a couple friends from church come over and help me get the stuff in...I am sure Will is going to be a bit more than a little surprised when he gets home tonight and I have a bunch of stuff in and organized...
okay, we are now at 39% uploaded...I am going to go clean and then come back to add the video...
all right, drumroll please...here it is!!!
fyi, I apologize for the fact that it is sideways, I always forget when videotaping, that I should not hold the camera up and down, cause you can't rotate it once it's on the computer...

What a fantastic Canada Day it was...
First I would like to apologize for the fact that I am getting the pics up today...I know I said I was going to do it last night, but when I sat down to do it, Scott woke up and I had to go take care of him...I decided just to stay with him and go to bed rather tahn come back to the computer...
but I will make the wait worth your while...we had a great time...
Will was awesome about it!!! He went to the store and bought a cheesecake (my facourite) that had blueberries, blackeberries and raspberries on top of it...then sliced a banana, wrote on each slice (with food pens) a letter to spell 'CANADA DAY" and put those on the side of the cake...guess what is for breakfast today???

he also bought some sparklers and some other little fireworksy type thing...it sits on the grounds and is really cute when you light it...
no big and elaborate fireworks, cause I don't know that we could have set those off in the roadway of our complex...they might have frowned on that...lol

this is me trying to light one...the wind was blowing towards me at first so when I tried lighting it, the flame from the lighter burned by fingers...twice...it finally clicked in my brain that maybe I should turn away from the wind so as to not get burned...lol

This is that little fireworksy thing I was talking about earlier...

While I was at church, he also hung the Canada flag outside our apartment...

So, all-in-all, it was a wonderufl day with a lot of thought and sweetness put into it :)
Thank you so much, honey, for making my day so special :)

well, let's see...what has been going on in the life of Krystin???
Scott has a skin virus called molluscum contagiosum...I found a bump on his arm a couple of days ago and just figured it looked like a pimple...then yesterday, found two more on his other arm...they didn't look like bug bites, but didn't look like pimples, so I got him into the dr. today and it's molluscum contagiosum...I guess they are kinda like a wart in that you can just get them, and suppsoedly, they are contagious to the touch...that is how they are spread...but even the dr. says in the hundreds of cases he's seen, he's never been infected with them...they don't itch or anything,s o that is nice, and they will go away on their own, but here's the kicker, it could take months or years to go away...well, at least he only has a couple of them and not clumps covering a whole section of his body...it can be treated with medicine, but the medicine typically irritates the skin surrounding the bump, and since he doesn't have a lot of them, we aren't treating them...we're just gonna leave them alone...
what else is going on??? I am super excited for my trip to Utah in a couple of weeks...Scott will finally get to meet his Grandma D and Auntie Laurenne...they are very excited for that :)
I got to drive my mil's Avalanche today...Dang!!! I gotta say that is a sweet ride!!! it is so smooth and it's just great!!!
we got new neighbours today...I went over and introduced myself...seem like an interesting set of people...I'm not saying that to be rude in any way, I promise, but they just would say the funniest things that just were funny...
like this...I am wearing a wrist brace because my wrist has been bothering me for a couple of weeks now, okay??? I don't know what I did to it, I don't recall injuring it, but I apparently did...so, I shake the guy's hand, and he asks what I did to my wrist...I answer that I am not sure exactly what i did to it or what was wrong with it...so, he asks if I just wear it for fashion cause I think it looks good...lol
then, he asks me if I play tennis.
I replay that I do not.
"Oh, cause that would be a tragedy."
Yes, yes it would be a tragedy if I played tennis and I had hurt my wrist...lol
it was just funny :)
along with the strange wrist injuring, I also have a crazy bruise on my arm from, well, slamming my arm into a gate lanch, a cut on my knee from rolling my ankle in a hole and falling, a bazillion bruises on my knees from who-knows-where...lol
dang, I'm a wreck!!! oh, and I must not forget the fact that I bit my tongue so hard that I made it bleed...so it totally hurts, too...and, of course, the dog bite on my thumb :)
so many things have gone on...next door to those new neighbours is another set of new neighbours just moved in about a week ago...I would say that I introduced myself to them, but I feel that our introductions happened when her dog, not on a leash, decided to charge at my dog, who was on a leash, minding her own business trying to do her business...kwim???
lucky for her dog, and her, I was close enough to my door, that I was able to pull her back into the house, all the while with the lady's dog right outside my door with her saying, "Oh, 'insert dog's name here', come here!" Yeah, I'm charging at another dog that could eat me, I think I'll come back with that pityful call...ok, to be honest, she wouldn't eat that other dog, but she is a larger and stronger dog and is a breed tahtis bred for fighting, so she would do a lot of damage to that dog.
and the thing that sucks, is that if my dog had gotten ahold of that dog, which she likely would have if I had not managed to get such a good hold of her, we would have ended up with the stigma of having the bad dog...anyhoo, so that is kinda my rant...I mean, the rule is to ahve your dog on a leash at all times...our dog, Shawnessy, is old...she just doesn't really pay that much attention to another dog when she sees one...she may stand at attention and watch it and make sure it keeps doing it's own thing and she will continue doing her thing, but she really can't be bothered going after another dog anymore...but since this one charged her, holy heck, she will not forget that dog...every time we walk out the door now, we make sure that other dog is not out there...cause the last thing I want it any sort of an altercation...but if it happens again, it will not be a happy introduction to the neighbour, to say the least :)
all i ask is that you obey the rules, and keep your dog on a leash!!! is that too much to ask???
well, I guess that is all for now...i don't even know if I have any pictures to post...other than the ones I posted on Scott's blog...my little boy is growing up so fast... he has two teeth growing in now...they have actually pierced through the gums, and he getting into the position to crawl...but he is so dang cute!!! we are so lucky to have him...I am glad he is a part of our lives...he is such a good kid and I love him to death...so, no, Janna, you may not steal him!!!
well, just for the sake of adding some pictures, here are a couple...

this just goes to show how tolerant Shawnessy is of Scott and kids in general...


playing with his police car that I bought him in NY...
