Final Farewell

Twas the night before D-day (Lauras last day) and all through the house, 

Megan was sleeping like a small little mouse. 

We had BIG plans of Broadway and had never gone through.

So since it was our last day we decided what the hoo!

This all started one day as Emma was "studying" as she always does and showed me this cute little clip...

From this day forward Laura, Emma and I had this song stuck in our heads.

Each day as we sung it at home, in the car, at FHE, at the store, on the street. We began dancing to it and each day something new was added. One day we thought it would be funny if we dressed up in "Rainbow" attire and did our dance on film. So we grabbed a bunch of junk at the dollar store and it sat on the stairs for about a month. Until our last night together we finally decided the show must go on.... 

Just as Clayton Payne walked out the door we called him to come back on film our little music video and ended up giving him a leading role. We got Megan to be our Cinematographer.
Hands down top 3 most random things I've ever done.

ENJOY:

The Cast

So I went downstairs to put on some colorful clothes and came upstairs wearing pink pajamas....

saw Emma & Laura & realized Woah BABY! were goin all out! so back to the change room.

This picture makes me laugh every time! 

When Clayton saw this picture he said,

"What the heck am I doing? it looks like we've got chester molester in the background."

LOVE these girls!!!! so sad to see them go....

Laura moved out last weekend and Emma is gone in like 3 weeks :(

We have had SOOO much fun together in such a short time!

LOVE you both!!

Pizza Night

One night on her way home from the South Emma & Clayton "Hey-telled" Laura and I and Said, "We should make Pizzas this week." I was excited after-all Pizza is one of my fav's and you can't beat home made pizza.

So we Planned it for Tuesday night...not realizing that Tuesday night Laura had also agreed to teach Nathan Stelnicki how to make pies. O well in our house we go by the motto 

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

This is Laura

This is my VERY favorite Picture of Laura because I feel it describes her to a "T"

Laura is home-maker 5000

she is always baking and looking after us, making sure we are fed and making AMAZING pies 

(Hence why Nathan wanted her to teach him)

She makes everything from scratch! and everything she makes is SSOOOOOOO good!

Worlds BEST chocolate chip cookies hands down!

She is SUPER nice and is always worried about everyone else. I'm gonna miss her sooo much she is moving home for the summer and is getting a new place in the fall. SSOOO SAD! I love her to BITS we have had so much fun together in the few short months we have lived together.

this girl is going to make the best mom/Grandma OF ALL TIME!

Allright back to pizza night...

Studley Martha Stewart....I mean Tyler Bohnet

Aprons All around!

 Surprisingly we had enough Aprons for everyone to have their own.

Nathan is the one with the Rolling pin.

Funny story about that rolling pin...

Laura's dad got the Marble roller and made a handle for it and gave it to Laura, her mom doesn't even have a decent rolling pin apparently haha. just goes to show home-maker Laura.

Clayton Payne made a heart shaped Pizza for "our house only" we had a ton of people over and we cooked this one first and ate it in the kitchen hiding from our guests ninja style.

Notice Claytons face I'm impressed he made the exact face twice it almost looks like I was photo shopped in.

I Love my room mates thanks for all the Fun

P.S. the Pizza was delicious.

and of course the dough was made from scratch.......thanks to Mama Laura ;)

Fancy Pants

This particular post is for my Dear Friend Bohnet.

Who by the way referred to me as one of his best friends the other day :)

What a cutie!

So this tale begins in a far away land across the ravine from where I currently live in an enchanted house of boys men the most manly men you've ever met (they would probably beat me up if I called them Boys). One enchanted Sabbath afternoon I was invited over for dinner right after church. It was roughly -49'C and I was freezing to death. All I had was my Sunday clothes which consisted of Skirt & shirt.

Bohnet very politely offered me a pair of sweatpants and when doing so said, "I have just the pair for you, I never wear them and they are Cobras pants." (Bohnet and I went to high school together and Cobras was our sports teams name)

So I wore the pants (as I do in our relationship) hahaha and wore them home to block the cold. I fell in Love with these pants and started to wear them all the time. 3 months later after wearing my "new pants" to Bohnets on many occasions he finally asked when he might get them back....

I tried to return them I washed them almost everytime I wore them and I would fold them and put them by my door and everytime I did this I would end up wearing them again.

Finally after I was accused of being a pants thief I decided it was time to return the pants to their enchanted home. It was a sad sad day in Kayla Town, the day I parted with those coveted pants. 

But Alas someone had a plan!

As I sat with Brett one day while going through his belongings prior to leaving for his mission His mumsy came across a pair of Cobras Pants... Just like the ones I "borrowed" from Bohnet! they told me to take them. so I did after all I'm Kayla Needham I do not ever turn down Free Merchandise.

As soon as I got back to Edmonton I called my friends from the Enchanted Manly house and said "Bohnet QUICK it's an emergency! you must come to my house ASAP and wear your FANCY PANTS!!" so he did...

 Bohnet Thinking it was a serious Emergency Grabbed his Fancy Pants out of the Laundry, not knowing what was on them or why he needed to wear them to my house. This picture was taken as we were teasing him saying he wet himself.... I was pretending I had to go as well to make him feel better. hahaha

Bohnet are #8 and "mine" are #9 its like it was meant to be! hahaha

In the end all is well:

 Bohnet got his pants back.... 

we lent him some clean pants for the night after the emergency had been taken care of.

And now we BOTH wear the fancy "PANTS" in our relationship!

haha LOVE you Bohnet! 

Waterton Winter Wonderland

So Mr. Olsen and I made it on one last "road trip" before he left. It was day trip to Waterton on April 25th which was Easter monday we thought we could do some hiking because that was the Funnest thing we've done together to date we decided. All the snow in southern Alberta had been melted for quite some time so we figured a little hike in Waterton would be possible much to our surprise Waterton had not seen as much sun as we anticipated......

 The Drifts everywhere were HUGE!! 

The waterfall that everyone "must" take there picture in front of every time they are in Waterton.

The drifts were right up over the fence that blocks it off so we walked right up over top of the fence and down to the base of the waterfall. 

 Waterfall was FROZEN! weird! this is the closest I've ever been able to get to it. 

o so attractive

 For those of you who may be wondering what the HECK BKC stands for:

it is BK country which is mine and Brett's Reality T.V. show 

Brett-Kayla-Country

There you have it mystery Solved

Not too sure why he wrote Doug here but let's roll with it.

 For those of you who may have been following my Blog a while back Brett and I went hiking and camped in Waterton one night in this very camp-kitchen. to wake up in the morning and discover the NO-Tenting sign.

This is what our Camp Kitchen looks like in the winter months.

If you look carefully at this picture you will see that I am running around barefoot

When Bret and I walked down to the base of the infamous waterfall I decided to get as close to the edge of the snow as I could and it of course gave way and I fell in the Freezing Cold water. Therefore my shoes and socks were soaked so I took them off and preceded the rest of our journey in the snow in my bare feet.

The Craziest part of this whole story is I ended up sick the next week! Who'd a thunk?

 The drifts were so HIGH we were able to walk right up onto the camp kitchen roofs this is at the peak of one of those roofs.

Still on the roof...

Self-Explanatory

This snow BLEW my MIND! 

because 25 minutes away in the Town of Pincher Creek there was no snow at all!!

Me showing off my wet-bottom from all my snow adventures...

 Attempting to dry off my pants... Do not panic I had sweat pants! 

This was the last of our BK Country adventures for now... possibly to be continued?

I'm gonna miss you "Elder Olsen" Good Luck in South Carolina!

The last Few Months in a nut shell...

Well After about 3 years Brett and I FINALLY took Chet and Levi to Chucky Cheese. We promised them that we would take them there when we were hanging out back in 2007... then I started dating a jerk and Brett moved to Calgary and we didn't see each other for 3 years.....well we MADE IT!!! We went to Levi's Soccer tournament one Saturday with Auntie Jen and Chet, When we were driving around deciding where to eat we passed a Chucky Cheese and Well the rest is history.....

Some how Chet managed to avoid getting in any of these pictures... what the heck?

I am a BIG time BLOG creeper now....I have 3 that I check on a regular basis Stephanie "Toblers", Amy "Wilde's", and Ashley "McGale's" (the last names are in quotation because I am still getting used to the fact that they are all married and changed their names hahaha)

Anyway one day while creeping Ashleys BLOG I saw her little Book of Mormon idea where you make a legend and high light certain concepts with certain colors so I got an idea and it's still in the works but here it is so far... My cute little purse size Book of Mormon set up:

I picked up a little mini Book of Mormon and Brett found me a matching size notebook that was PERFECTLY Pink :) and I picked up this SUPER SWEET multi-colored crayon/pen thing that cost me a small fortune but I feel was worth it. 

Then I went to Auntie Jens and decided to make a cute little case for it out of some scraps from a quilt she is making... She turned me loose and said there were scraps in the basement....So Chet and I went looking and used what we found...

 We later realized that we had cut up a binding that Auntie Jen had made for the edge of a small wall quilt she had been working on.......ummmm oopsy daisy!! Boy did I feel bad! Needless to say the binding made a pretty darn cute Scripture case. SORRY Auntie Jen!! Next time I'll make sure to double check before I use your scraps....... 

;)

 And now thanks to the Inspiration of Ashley Wha-La!! what an AWESOME little bag!

I LOVE Sundays

So Sundays are my Very Favorite day of the week... For one thing it is the one day I do not have to feel guilty when I do NOT accomplish anything. It is the one day I can forget about my crazy life and not feel like a slacker. I had some time to study my Scriptures and Today I was able to go for a walk with my roommate Laura and our friend Suzie, and Scott came along to....It was GORGEOUS today!! the sun was shining I was outside wearing only a hoody! It was amazing!! Haven't been able to do that in FOREVER!! It was sooo nice we wanted to have a picnic but all the benches are still covered in snow... So we decided to BBQ instead. Laura had these super crazy hot dogs from Dawson creek they were delicious. and we enjoyed BBQ'd hot dogs and MUG cream SODA (Best pop in the WORLD too bad we can only get it in the U.S.  :(  )  then we played Sticks.... which is my FAVORITE card game I was so excited because I never get to play it. After that we made a double batch of Rice crispy squares and Laura, Suzie and I polished off a whole pan!! Yikes!! they were so yummy and fresh and gooey!! Then we checked out my favorite websites on my T.V. thanks to computer whiz Douglas B. Olsen he hooked me up and now I can use my T.V. as a monitor COOL!! anyway Websites are:
www.looktothetemple.com    &    www.ldschurchtemples.com

They are my favorite!! The first one is this AMAZING photographer from Las Vegas who takes tonnes of the most beautiful pictures of the temples, and the other shows all the current temples and tonnes of info about them and the order they were created in and a bunch of other cool stuff to. If you go to ldschurchtemples.com click temples and then check out Copenhagen Denmark and Vernal Utah they are so UNIQUE and are the first 2 temples to be made out of an existing building. Very interesting. I find Temples to be sooooo fascinating!!

After our little Temple talk we watched Mulan I LOVE that movie such a classic!!! the little dragon guy is so FUNNY! and the grandma. Love her.

Anyway I am so grateful for Sundays they are by far my favorite!  hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!! Love you lots take care! ;)
