Ky-ee Mi-oh-neh-ee

"Ky-ee Mi-oh-neh-ee"

Translation: "Kylie is a missionary." This is something we hear from Will a lot now, because...

My sister, Kylie, left on her LDS mission to Orlando, Florida! She will be gone for 18 months.

(There is a very nice missionary picture of Kylie that should go here... Check back soon.)

We were able to go to California to see her off in February. We thought it would be a good last trip while Will could still fly for free (before turning 2 this next week!).





We had a lot of fun doing a lot of "last time for 18 months" things with Kylie - eating out at favorite places, going in the hot tub, and movie watching. We were also there to see her give her farewell talk in church (Will was bribed heavily with M&Ms) and to see her be set apart (where Will pulled down his pants - among other crazy antics). He sure adds a "fun" spirit to everything we do now.










(inside his first car wash - so exciting!

We were also able to spend time with lots of extended family.





Unfortunately, Will caught a terrible cold while we were there (which seems to happen every time!), so our last few days were spent with a sick toddler. I caught it a few days after that, and Daniel caught it several days after THAT - so we have been sick for the past 3 weeks (so far). That mostly explains the lack of blogging recently (which I heard my great-grandma was not happy about). So, here you go GG! :)
