Alicia Kayla Wyatt

Where has time gone. It is already June and things have definitely changed for our family.  KJ had his program and has graduated from Kindergarten and is ready for first grade, Darrell finished high school track where the girls won region and finished second at state, and he lost a bet and had his head shaved by a girl that was a state champion in the high jump, and we adopted our new little addition a little baby girl. As we have been taught through out our whole lives. God hears and answers our prayers. It may not be immediately, but he hears them and sometimes we have to ask him with more specifics to show him that we know he is there and that we have faith and trust in him.  As most know KJ will be 7 next month. We waited a long time for this new little girl to come into our lives.  To the point that we considered walking away and being happy with KJ, but we decided to try one last time, and this time we prayed specifically.  We didn't know what we were asking for so we said what came to our mind.  We prayed and asked for a birth mom in her twenties that was carrying a little girl of bi-racial ethnicity.  Well what to you know. God heard.  On May 1st we met Kayla. Alicia's birth mom.  We spent a couple hours talking with her and her sister in Salt Lake City, and returned home that evening feeling at peace. On May 4th while texting Kayla she said she wanted us to be the parents of her little girl.  We were ecstatic but did not share our news cause people change their minds all the time.  We continued to text Kayla and then met her again with KJ this time.  We still felt at peace so we started to prepare on Monday May 19.  Well her due date was Sunday May 25th, so on Wednesday we shared out news and the next day they decided to induce her cause her levels were to low.  On Friday, May 23 2014 Alicia was born at about 3:43am. Weighing 6 pounds and 18 inches long. On Saturday we met her and held her for the first time, and on Sunday we officially adopted her. Kayla is 29.  Half puerto rican half caucasian. The birth father was Caucasian. She is 4'11. Alicia is named after Kaylas grandma.  This is our short story of how our family of 3 became 4.

Easter

Easter was a great time this year.  We enjoyed a Easter egg hunt with my side of the family and some visiting with treats.  We also enjoyed Sunday hearing about our Savior Jesus Christ.  KJ got up with the primary and sang I  Stand All Amazed and I Feel My Saviors Love. He did a great job.  Then we enjoyed our Easter baskets full of goodies. Also this weekend KJ and I enjoyed coaching and cheering on one of our athletes as she competed in the heptathlon at BYU.  She did a great job and ended up winning the whole thing. Her and KJ look a lot alike so everyone kept asking if they where brother and sister. Darrell enjoyed his time coaching the other athletes at the Utah county invite.  KJ is also participating in soccer this season.  He is starting to figure it out better. He loves playing more on the defensive side than trying to score goals.  I can't blame him that is where I liked to play to. We also are venturing a garden this year. So we started some seeds inside to see if we could get them to grow.  So far so good.  KJ gets so excited to see them growing and loves to water them.

Happy Birthday!

One year older is what I am.  This week we celebrated my 34th birthday and spring break.  Darrell says it is best when we have my birthday during spring break cause you get to celebrate all week.  These boys in my life definitely know how to make me feel special.  From the moment they got up until even the next morning they loved wishing me a happy birthday.  We enjoyed lunch at the wild mustang grill. It was excellent food. We went and saw Muppets Most Wanted, enjoyed cake and ice cream and present opening.  With it also being spring break we had track practice a couple days and KJ enjoyed working out with the kids, and we did some yard work.    We actually have a flower bed in the front yard which really looks good and changes the feel of the home.  Otherwise we enjoyed the lounging around, playing bochi and letting KJ play with friends.
