Kya lately

This iPhone is really becoming a necessity for me. And that is really saying something since I refuse the smart phone trend until about a month ago. It's a phone — and camera — by my side all day. Wow what a great idea. This means lots of random awesomely adorable photos of Kya. Enjoy.


Super silly face at opening day of the new indoor toddler land at Kirkwood Mall (back in mid-October)


Kya, telling me something very important (the pointy finger comes out if it's really important) while having lunch at Subway during our 'girl's day' (Corey was enjoying pheasant hunting on opener weekend)


By the way, the guys got their pheasant limit - my grandma Darwin, Uncle Bob and Corey's birds.


Kya and Parker in their favorite spot at Grandma Rene's sewing room.


Homemade squash soup - Kya loves it!


Sewing Bison Booties ... just like mom.


Learning to cut ... just like mom (when I cut fabric for booties)


We were at my grandparent's house for no more than 3 minutes and in that time, Kya transformed herself into this masterpiece. Watch out, world!


Watching me cook dinner. Love this girl.


Kya and Lauryn (my cousin) at the Vander Vorst's for a fun fall gathering.


So sweet. Napping on Grandma Rene.


Love for Baby Rose.


Future ballerina?


Jumbo perler beads = hours of fun


First snow! (late October)

And today:

Our new washing machine and clothes dryer were delivered! Kya and I are really enjoying laundry today, which is good because we have about 10 days worth since our old dryer went kaput. Kya is a super helper now that she can reach into both the washer and dryer (we already had a stern lesson about not going in the machine).
