Fun day at the State Fair!

We took the kids to the State Fair on September 14th, family day. It was so fun, thanks to my mom who had the babe, she would have froze. It rained the entire night, so we missed out on quite a bit, but not the Peter Breinholt concert, whom we love!
Crazy Keo.

It was so cold this is how Kev kept Aja warm. She snuggled right up.

Always cute Ipo.

Happy Kee.

Cool Keo, lol.

Hungry Aja.

The clan. We entered a family contest where you have objects in a bag and you have to make a short play using them and all the members of your family. We did a love scene, lol and it was cute and fun. I was proud that we all worked together to do something that might have otherwise been quite embarrassing, but to us it was fun and we were a team. The Fuller's are the best!

Daddy's girl!

Daddy and daughter, what a perfect mix. Kevin has such a sweet relationship with Ka'Lya. She hears his voice and stops whatever she is doing to find him in the room. On the phone she squeals when he talks to her and she even tries to eat the phone to get closer to him. He is the best dad to all the kids. I am so happy that they have a dad who knows how to have fun just like they do.

"Let me pose Daddy, for my picture!"

Flyin' high

Sweet.

Daddy and Kya forever!

What a joy!
This is who she most looks like, Kee'Onu. I have baby pics of him and her taking a bath and you cannot tell the difference between the two. Kee loves her so much, he is so paranoid though still. You would think I have no clue how to raise kids!

Papa's little flower. He loves to come home and hold her and be with her. We all love when he is home!

My grandma or "granny" as the kids call her, is the most amazing woman. She is 73 and you would never know it. She is such a blessing to us. We love her in every way.

Drum roll.....My mama. I love her so much. I am so glad that she has been so supportive and happy that Ka'Lya is here. I love you so much mom!

Ka'Lya's first teething cookie.

What is this? Nana bought her a teething cookie, she is not teething yet, but she really loved this. We went crazy taking pictures. All of her "firsts" are definitely documented well.

Tasty

Slobber butt!



She is so stinkin' cute even when she is a mess!

All clean and ready for more.

Baby bunting!

This is my mom playing house with Kya, just like she did with her dolls, lol. She had to dress her up in a bonnet and take her on a walk in a stroller---I am sure she wishes it would have been a buggy. She is so cute and I love that she loves to take pics. She is so wonderful. I love her so much.
Look how sweet she is, it almost looks like she is one of those 1800's babies, if there is even such a "look"

Gorgeous eyes and perfect face!

Thanks mom for taking the cute pics!

Tippie toes and eyelashes!

I absolutely love sweet Kya's eyelashes, they are so heart melting!
I love her eyes. They are beautiful. She has been so fun to take pics of. This is me trying to mess with the color and contrast. It is so hard but fun to do. I love her blue eyes, I hope they are as electric as Aja's.

I love this pic of her on her tippie toes, maybe she will be a ballerina, or maybe not, either way she will be amazing!

What a special peace she has brought into our home. You would think chaos adding another child to the mix, but no, she has brought a love that I never knew I could feel. I have been able to see the compassion and caring in all the other kids. This is such a beautiful sight, to see your children want the best for someone besides themselves. They love her, they truly love her. They hurt when she hurts, they laugh when she laughs, they cry when she cries, and they melt at her every new experience. I am so blessed to have this sweet baby teach me true joy, "men are that they might have joy!" I do.

Aston Weston Carlsen is here!

Kevin's niece Ari'Elle had her babe yesterday. He weighed 7lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. We got to go and see him and hold him today. What a cutie. He has a lot of light brown hair and was VERY sleepy.

Kya was excited to see him. She is 5 months older than him and yet they are not too different in size. She is growing and this picture proved to to me. She smiled at the sight of him. They are going to be best buds. Ari'Elle is doing well and Weston is already the paranoid Dad, lol. Cute Cute.

Here is another pic of Ka'Lya and her beautiful eyes and perfect lips. Love her so much.

Congratulations Kee'Onu!

This is the poster I made for Kee to run for 5th grade senator. He came home on Thursday and told me he wanted to run and that the voting was the NEXT DAY! Ahhhh. I freaked out. My mom was on the phone and heard my panic. She did not feel good that day, but put that aside and came over to help. It was so nice because she held our little spoiled Kya the whole time! I went in the scrapbook room and me, my mom and Kee brainstormed into this as his slogan....."Your Key to Open Doors" I was pretty proud, given the time frame. The poster turned out great and I love my Cricut! When he got to school they had an assembly and it was there that Kee was told he had to give a speech. He totally winged it and did a little dance at the end. The students loved it and he WON!

The new student government officers are:

Mohan Sudabattula -8th Grade Student Body President
Taylor McNees- 7th Grade Vice President
Jay Shah- 8th Grade Senator
Kendra Muller- 7th Grade Senator
Brigham Jewkes- 6th Grade Senator
Kee'Onu Fuller -5th Grade Senator

So he is in a Presidency for the whole school totalling 6 people. He came home saying he gets to plan dances and help to demolish bullying. I am so proud of him. Words cannot express. I love him so much and he says he wants to be just like his Mama! I loved student government my entire life. Being involved was the greatest feeling. Making a difference and feeling pride in my school. I took that with me to the U of U and was in their orientation team for ALL new students. Once in nursing school I decided to become Student Nursing Alliance President. That was a full time job in itself, not to mention school and 4 little kids. I think this is where the importance of education and being involved was taught to my kids. I hope they know these things are so important to me. I feel like some of the parenting we are doing is paying off. Love Kee so much!

Kya 4.5 months.

Her eyes are so amazing they POP in very picture.
Her hair is coming in so thick.

She always needs her binky nearby.

NeeCie's first day of preschool!

For those of you who do not know... I call our little Aja, NeeCie. She is a smart, sweet, and bossy, little girl. I was so excited for her. She needed this because she loves to be busy. I am so happy that she has Julia in her class it is good for both of them.

BFF's. They were so cute.


These are all the girls in our area that are in her class.

This was right before school. What a cutie.

Her cute sunglasses.

As soon as she got there her and Julia met up and hugged. Cute.

This is her cute teacher Miss Emily.

Mommy's big girl.

Daddy's girl.

Just chillin'

Granny's "SWORDS" dinner!

So my grandma has a club of sorts that she belongs to. SWORDS stands for single, widowed, OR divorced. It is a group of ladies that range from 72 to 92. My mom decided to have a dinner for them all. It was so fun to see my grandma's friends. I loved helping cook the meal. It reminded me of my waitressing days.
My dad made homemade pasta noodles and they were delish! My mom made her famous monkey bread, mmmmmm!


These are all the ladies.

Me and my mom work well together!

I had to show off the fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken breast and shrimp scampi. My mom made a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. She also had the groups pictures put in frames for them all to take home. It was awesome. Her theme was roses so everything was red and beautiful. Including the chair covers and the napkins. We love you grandma! Thanks for always being there for us. It was nice to be there for you.
