Easter!

I have been so bad about updating the blog, but in my defense, we've had more sickness and been busy. Kya has been doing much better, though. The doctor gave her an inhaler, and after a week, she quit coughing. I just knew she had some form of asthma, but the doctors kept saying no. I don't know if she just got better from the virus or if she actually has asthma... We shall see. I am enjoying more sleep, though, so I am loving that. We went to my parents new house for Easter, and we had a great time. We didn't know if we were going to make it because I had a nasty virus at the beginning of the week that caused me to get headaches that felt like migraines - I thought I was dying. Kya also had another bout of strep throat. Thankfully, we made it up there and went on another Easter Egg Hunt. Eric's parents came down the weekend before, and we went egg hunting in Deer Park. It was really neat that both sets of grandparents got to participate in an Easter Egg hunt with her. When we were at my parents new house, my Nana and uncle and two cousins stopped by from Huntsville, and we got to enjoy catching up and celebrating my Nana's birthday early. At then end of April, Eric and I went to Austin for one of my good friends from high school's wedding (Valerie). We made a weekend out of it and went to Luckenbach, Enchanted Rock, Fredericksburg, and Pflugerville (to see where Friday Night Lights filmed their football games). It was so much fun, and we needed the time away with each other. During May, we celebrated Mother's Day with my family, and we have been going to graduation parties on the weekends. June is going to get even busier because Eric will be out of town for different youth trips. So - Kya is growing and getting bigger every day. She mimics everything that we say. She likes to say Stop It and No Thank You when she doesn't want to do something. She has also started singing. She will normally sing with us, and she will say the last word of every phrase. My favorite is when she sings Jesus Loves Me, and she will say Jees-a-me. So cute! We also like playing at bath time when she cleans all of her duckies. She also loves helping. She helps put the laundry in the dryer and tonight, she helped me vacuum with her vacuum from Grams and Big Daddy. She also has to do everything by herself. We can't even tear up her food anymore. She will freak out! Also, she likes using adult utensils. It is so much fun watching her personality really come out.
