THE DAYTON FAMILY

David has been working at a law firm in Almaty, Kazakhstan for the past couple of months. This past weekend, he was able to get a visa to travel to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. He visited a couple of our friends whom we hosted about 3 years ago when they visited Utah for a conference and then was able to visit our brother-in-law, Kevin, who is currently deployed in Bishkek. David had an awesome trip and was quite excited to get to spend time with Kevin. They had lots of fun together. David was especially excited because Kevin arranged for them to play basketball while on base. I think he also very much enjoyed sleeping on a regular mattress and eating good old American food. :) He said it was nice to experience a little slice of America while being so far away from home.

Taylor turned 2 last week!!! I can't believe that we have a 2 year old! I still feel like I just barely finished high school - except that I graduated from college more than 3 years ago - weird. Anyway, I don't know how he got so old so fast but he is still my sweet little baby boy. :) I threw him a pizza party with our immediate family - both the Daytons and the Petersons. It turned out really well. My favorite parts of his birthday were: Seeing him wake up to a living room of balloons 'boons', watching him open presents, and also showing him his cool ball cake. We are so lucky to have this sweet little boy in our family!!!

A LOVING FATHER... Loves you from the moment he lays his eyes on you, Teaches you to love too, Keeps you warm , Lets you 'help' him, Tries to take you with him when he travels far away, Shares his bed and his cereal with you, Reads to you from his favorite books, Teaches you about the things he loves, Keeps you laughing, Protects you from harm, Lets you drive his car, AND Holds you close when you are sad or tired. Happy Father's Day Sweetheart! We love you & We miss you!!

Gorgeous Kyla Marie turned 1 month old yesterday. I absolutely love having this precious angel in our family. She is beginning to smile more and more but I couldn't quite catch a good one for the camera.

This sweet & cute little BOY : Really loves this adorable & angelic little GIRL : He protects her: He talks to her: He kisses her (a lot): He hugs her: He comforts her and cheers her on when she gets her head from one side to the other during tummy time: He even wants to hold her when she doesn't necessarily want to be held... This Week: We visited my friend Krissy and Tay played with her son Eddie: We payed "Ba-pa" (grandpa) a visit at work and checked Taylor's "Eahrs" (ears) & found out that he probably won't have to get tubes: Kyla discovered the elephants that dangle over the pack-n-play that she currently sleeps in: We shared an apple at the park: Tay played with Aunt Mary and Uncle Daniel while we were there: "Momsies" (Mommy) & Aunt Mary painted their toe nails while Tay & Dan played with the ball: I love my 2 cute babies & I miss my handsome husband like crazy!
