An amazing family!

The Yeager Family lives in our ward. They are simply amazing! Here is their story...

We are trying to grow our family through adoption. We feel strongly that our family is not complete and we'd like your help in completing it! If you wouldn't mind helping out, please copy and paste this post into a post of your own on YOUR blog. And have your blogging buddies do the same! The more people that see this, the better our chances get.

We are the Yeager family! We live in Southeast Idaho. We are Scott (36), Mykalee (31), Katie (9), Jack (8), Rebekah (5), and Olivia (3). We have been so blessed. We have four healthy kids and have made many happy memories together already. I (Mykalee) have horrible pregnancies. All four kids have been difficult to get here. I get Hyperemesis Gravidarum- which means morning sickness times a billion, 24 hours a day for most of the 9 months. The easiest thing to describe it as is food poisoning. Anyway, that's not necessarily why we want to adopt. We have jumped into all of our pregnancies without a second thought. Even after Katie's- the worst one (I lost 30 lbs in the 1st trimester), I didn't need convincing or strong promptings. I knew what I was in for and was okay with it. Scott and I have talked about having a large family since our first date. He is a fantastic dad and I have always known I was born to be a mother. We decided to stop at four after Olivia was born, even though we wanted more. The feeling that we aren't complete has gotten VERY strong recently. We prayed about another pregnancy, and got without a doubt a NO. I have to admit there was some relief. We were sure we weren't done discussing our family with the Lord, but had never really considered adoption. Well, through separate and joined answers to prayer, we KNOW this is what we are supposed to be doing. So, if you know of or hear of a potential birth mother that wants to place her baby(or babies- we'd love twins!) in a loving home, please direct her to us. You can show her our family blog, where she can get a feel for the kind of family we are, at :

Thank you so much! We really are grateful for your help in growing our family through adoption!
Love,
The Yeagers

IT WASN'T ME!

This morning has been quite the adventure already!! Kyler, and his buddy Grayson like to get in lots of trouble! This morning while I was scheduling a tire rotation Kyler and Grayson broke into the office, shut the door behind them... found a HUGE bag of M&Ms dumped them all over the floor. Then they hid in the closet while they continued to eat quite a few of the M&Ms. When I was finished with my call. I thought I could hear them, but I couldn't find them anywhere!! They weren't in Kyler's room playing, where I thought they were, they hadn't gone into the basement and they hadn't escaped outside... as far as I knew at least!! I checked all the rooms and still couldn't find them! I was panicking! WHERE ARE YOU!!?!?!? Now I knew I could hear them, so I looked in the office again and I could see Gray's head pop out of the closet. AHHHHH!!! M&Ms EVERYWHERE!! All over Kyler's face and shirt as you can see!! Oh my gosh I laughed so hard!!

Silly little boys!! They have so much fun together. My neighbor Jen, who has twin boys, told me "Now you know how it would be to have TWINS!! AHH I don't think I could do it, everyday and remain SANE!! But they are so cute!!

Late Easter pictures!

Our Easter this year wasn't all that exciting. We didn't get to any Easter egg hunts, poor Kyler!! But we did get a few pictures taken.

Here is a picture of Easter morning. How boring!! At least I didn't forget right??

Here is a picture of all the grandkids on my side of the family. It wasn't an easy task to get all the kids to all be in the picture, and not screaming. Mine was the worst!! This was I think the first picture taken before the crying started... sadly it was the only one where he wasn't crying.

He was not excited to take pictures... AT ALL! In fact this is the only one we could get where he wasn't screaming! I'm still not quite sure what was wrong with him that day!!

Here is my my sister's beautiful girls. Brynly Fayth and Emry Ivy.

And my brother's adorable little girl, Anna Elise. She has the funniest facial expressions!! They are hilarious, mostly because they are just like her daddy's!! It was so much fun having my brother and sister-in-law come stay for two whole weeks!!

Picking names is SO HARD!!

I think I said in the earlier post that we had a girl name picked out, but were really drawing blanks on boy names. Well after several helpful suggestions, a couple baby name books and lots of conversations about boy names. We have gotten NOWHERE! I made a huge list of any boy names that I thought were possible, but nothing is popping out, AT ALL! We had Kyler named, I mean middle name and everything decided before I was even 4 months pregnant, and by doing that I decided that I made this whole situation worse. I'm feeling panicked and stressed about this whole name thing, even though I have another 4 months I liked feeling like I had enough time to think about Kyler's name that by the time he was born it just fit. Sorry.... I had to vent! lol.
Any suggestions for boy names you don't mind me stealing?? We need help!

Other than that we are doing really good! I am getting so close to being done with school, and I am SIKED about that! Going back to school is REALLY hard! Quite a bit harder than I thought, but I am also a little relieved that I am really going to do it! Kyler is getting smarter everyday... he is picking things up way too quickly for me... He figured out the locks on the cabinents, so he's been getting into the dishwasher soap. He figured out how to open the dishwasher, he's really close to opening doors, and he has mastered the gate at the top of the stairs. Even though that gate isn't for him falling anymore, there are way too many things for him to get into downstairs. We are going to have to fix that very soon!! A blockaid of some sort! They grow way too fast!!

Baby Bump!!

I've had a couple friends asking for a picture of my baby bump, so here it is!! I feel like I have been showing forever this time around. I've been in my maternity clothes for a few weeks, where with Kyler I didn't need any until I was about 6 months pregnant... if I am remembering right. :) This pregnancy has been pretty fun so far (except the sick part) I've been feeling him move for quite a while now! I love it!

AND THE VERDICT IS?!?!?!

So here is a picture of the new addition to our family. One of the pictures he pulled up we could see facial features and it was totally amazing!!

CAN YOU TELL???? HE might be a little perturbed with me posting this picture for the whole world to see, but OH WELL!! This is our second little boy! We are totally siked and I know one day Kyler will love having a little brother.

Mr. Independant!!

I can't believe that it has been a month since I posted last!! Our family has been very busy and I guess time has gotten away from me! So in the last month Kyler has decided that waiting for Breakfast is UNBEARABLE! I cannot cook fast enough for him! So I have decided to involve him the in process & the difference is AMAZING! So here is a picture of him making orange juice! He loved it. I wish I could have gotten a picture of him helping me make pancakes... I let him crack the eggs. I think only a couple pieces of the shell actually made it into the pancakes, and in big enough pieces I think I got them out, HOPEFULLY!! I wasn't quite ready for him I guess. He loves helping out and being a "big boy".
The next pictures are of Kyler and his buddy, Grayson, who I babysit twice a week. They are playing together pretty good, for most of the day. Today they were playing so good I couldn't help but get pictures! I should have gotten a video! They have this fascination with pulling the cushions off the couch and either jumping on them or playing on the couch without them! I was in the other room when I heard them both laughing histerically, and when I went to look Kyler was sliding off the couch backwards and Gray was just thought it was the funniest thing. Usually Ky would start to cry, but since Gray thought it was funny, it must have been... so there they were both just giggling! It was so cute! For a little update on our family... My sister, SueAnn, who has been trying to get pregnant for the last 8 years or so is also pregnant, on her own, which is a MIRACLE! She is Due in October, so we aren't too far apart. I am SOOO excited for their family!! Again it just proves that God is incharge and Miracles still happen!
Kyler is starting to talk quite a bit. He jabbers on about who knows what most of the day... either to us or to himself. He carries on quite the conversation. I love listening to it!
I am finally over the morning sickness & starting to feel good. I've actually popped out a little and I'm actually showing, even though I am only 18 weeks, which is a little weird. I've been feeling movement for a few weeks, which I LOVE! Andy didn't believe me until the baby kicked his elbow during a movie the other night! School is going pretty good, but I am very excited for May 4th to roll around when I will be done, for a time! We are patiently waiting to find out what we are having in a couple weeks! YAY!!
