Last week (6 weeks) she weighed 11 lbs 13 oz. She doesn't sleep & cries ALOT! I am definitely learning some major patience!
The other day Kylan and I made Halloween cookies while Kartny was sleeping. Kylan made an interesting creation with raw cookie dough, sprinkles, & white, orange, & green frosting, Yummy!
We had a really fun filled weekend together as a family. We spent as much time outside as possible enjoying the absolutely gorgeous weather and beautiful fall colors. We went back to the same pumpkin patch as last year, Mapleside farms, and ate yummy food, picked out pumpkins, Kylan got face/arm paint and rode the ponies. We opted out on the hayride this year, McKartny had had enough. 
Kurt couldn't resist buying the biggest bag of kettle corn he could, it is absolutely amazing and you can't stop eating it!
She wanted a butterfly on her arm, not her face, she's like her Dad, hates people touching her face. 
A little different than the horse ride at Mom's, much smaller and much less skiddish!
Mom told me about an ad she saw for something called Old Fashioned Christmas in the Woods in Columbiana so we decided to check it out. It was only about an 1 and 15 minutes away and as we pulled up over the hill this is what we saw, but imagine all the green spaces you see filled in with cars, we got the picture as everyone was leaving. We guessed there had to be about 1000 cars. We thought, "well I guess it must be good!" It was way cool, about 200 vendors set up little booths in the middle of the woods (grove of trees in the picture above) with tons of crafts, woodwork, blacksmiths, food, music, it was quite the set-up, BUT there were sooooooo many people and it was not exactly stroller friendly. So Kurt and I decided we are definitely going back next year WITHOUT the kids! I can't wait to be able to explore more and get some ideas for new crafts. 
Kylan loves to hold McKartny, when she's not screaming.
Fighting sleep!
I set McKarnty in the crib so I could get some things done and thought she'd be safe from Kylan but I cam back in and Kylan had climbed in the crib right along with her!
I was surprised that Kylan actually shared her precious pink blankie with McKartny! No sibling rivalry YET!
Kate & McKartny
See any similarities? Above is McKartny below is Kylan
It was a long rough day but we made it! Everything went fine, baby's healthy and strong
New big sister really isn't sure what to think, she's just excited to sit in Mom's bed and drink her water and eat her snacks
Proud new Dad. This week has been tough with tests but he's surviving and can't wait for the week to be over
Our new (blurry) family
Our new house. So far it's been a pain in the butt, but hopefully we can get all the little kinks figured out and it will feel more like home!
The main reason we moved: the backyard so Kylan can run free and get some of that energy out! And Kurt has been in heaven being able to shoot his bow whenever he pleases.
Dining Room, we have some chair railing that Kurt has been wanting to put up just hasn't had an ounce of spare time to do it!
Living Room
Kitchen
Kylan eating one of her favorites: chocolate doughnuts!
Her new favorite toy; she walks around jammin' out saying she's playing Rockband! She loved playing at Kristy's house and when we're in the car and she hears a song that she heard on Rockband she tells me to turn it up and sing!
Kylan being the true wild woman that she is!
We spent alot of time on the boat with both families. With Kurt's fam we went to Bear Lake for a couple of days; the water & weather were both beautiful. And in Burley Sarah & T.J. were able to bring their boat so we spent a good amount of time out on the Snake River. Kylan loved her pink jacket and enjoyed watching Kurt wakeboard.
All of my family was able to be in Burley for about 4-5 days together which was crazy with all the kids running around but Kylan loved it and already misses everyone. This is all of us grandkids & great grandkids with my Grandma & Grandpa Sagers.
I was surprised that she actually got on the tube with Kurt and actually enjoyed it; she's usually a chicken when it comes to things like that! We're making progress!
Kylan really latched on to her cousin Kensey, I think they look like sisters in this pic!
And again, more attitude, what's new?
All the guys out shooting clays across the river at Kristy's house.
Kylan absolutely fell in love with her cousin Dagan. She would constantly give him hugs & kisses and cuddle up to him. She still asks to go to Dagan's house almost everyday!
One of her many mood swings, Kurt says "she's exactly like her Mom," I say she's just a girl!
Coming in from swimming at Grandma Sherre's, the water was freezing but it was worth it to her!
Kylan and Bertie, Mom's dog. At first she was a little worried because Bertie like to chase her around and nip at her heels but she grew to love her and always wanted to be outside to play with her. Here are a few other things we've been up to: I celebrated my 24th b-day, Kurt & I made it to our 4th anniversary, we made arrangements to move into a house on the 22nd of this month (which has entailed alot of cleaning & painting so far) saw Batman (loved it!), set-up an induction date for the 9th of September, Kurt's back in school, arranged to get another car (finally), and, well, that's all I can think of for now!
