More Kauai..

I wish they would let me post lots of pictures on one entry....Here are more Kauai pictures.

Let's Get Caught Up.....

I feel like such a slacker mom....I haven't posted in such a LONG time! I have been posting everything on facebook, and by the time I am done with that, I am so tired, I just want to go to bed. So hopefully I can just do pictures from the last year by month to get you caught up.
Lets Start with Hawaii, Kauai....2 weeks we spent in June! Auntie Jennifer and Uncle Brandon came down and joined us the 2nd week.

Sorry we haven't posted in a while!!!

Ok...so the last you heard from us was in May...hold out just a little bit longer...I hopefully will have pictures posted soon!! Thank so much. If you have Facebook, Dan and I both are on there and have updated pictures of Kalia so check it out!!

A quick picture of our little Kalia already fascinated by books. Something she does NOT get from me...

Family Camp

Sorry (again) for taking so long to put something new up, but it's just been crazy!

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Entiat for our church's Family Camp. We had a GREAT time! The drive was about 3-hours and Kalia did really well - it was her first car trip more than 45-minutes long, so we were a little nervous. The drive there, she only got fussy a couple of times, but nothing a rice cookie or new movie couldn't fix. The ride home, three minutes in, she fell asleep and didn't wake up until we got home!

All in all, we had a great weekend. Kalia spent more time outdoors than she ever has, so it was a new experience for her. She was exhausted by the end of the trip.

Below are some updated pictures from the weekend - Grandma Jenny bought her a little inflatable pool. Took her a while to want to get into it, but after she did we couldn't get her out. Enjoy!

Kalia's First Crawl!

Well, she crawled at April's the same day - but this was that evening at home. We caught it all on video! I know it's a little dark, sorry. And ignore the sound...there was no choice but to make funny noises to get her to move :)

Yay Kalia!

This was a few days ago on Monday April 20th - let's just say as of today...she's out of control.

Batten down the hatches!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Kalia is approaching her 1st Easter tomorrow and of course you know what that means!!! I had Easter pictures taken!! I even did this sitting all by myself....I didn't get any help from family!! I am so proud of myself and Kalia too! She did an AWESOME job! Happy Easter everyone!

Kalia's 1st Egg Hunt!

Last Saturday our church had an Easter Egg hunt indoors. Kalia had soo much fun. There were over 600 people and there were a lot of kids! My sister came, my nephew Decker and his cousin came too! My mom and dad even helped out at the event.

Mommy and Kalia

Last Saturday, the 28th we went to our church for an Easter Egg hunt and other festivities. Here is Kalia with her pink balloon crown.

Just playing around.

Kalia met her birth buddy, Kalina born on the same day she was...just a bit earlier.

Kalia is so calm....she never pulls hair!! Kalina is crawling already and attempting to walk, we were a little jealous....but Kalia did share her Gerber puffs with Kalina.

This was the second run in with the Easter Bunny...the first time we cried!

Still unsure of the Easter Bunny...but not crying.

Practicing walking...we are waiting to get a rubber ducky in the baby easter egg hunt...they didn't hide anything.

Daddy and Kalia.

Lazy Sunny Saturday!!

Kalia checkng out the bouncy airplane.

Kalia going down the slide..she loves it!

Mama and Kalia....she wouldn't smile!

Daddy and Kalia watching the ducks.

Smile for the camera-we are feeding ducks!

Ok-just stick out your tongue instead...I won't make you smile. However, when you get older, you are going into timeout for sticking out your tongue.

Daddy and Kalia watching the ducks as I throw bread at them trying to get them to come closer.

Here they come!

They are still coming...and closer!

Today we had a family day and did some fun stuff outside since the weather was sunny and nice...60 degrees. I also have an aweseome mom who comes over on Fridays to watch Kalia and help with some house chores...so this enabled some time for the three of us to do something fun! Oh...and the 60 degrees was warm considering the day before it snowed!! We decided to head to the local Silverlake park. While there, we fed the ducks, played on toys, and walked around. Kalia didn't know what to think of the ducks...she just kept looking at them very seriously. For dinner we went to a new restaurant the "Shake and Go." Yummy food...I highly recommend it! They bake their own buns daily and use fresh never frozen beef...but of course I had a chicken burger! Now we are home...a little tired and Kalia is watching her "Baby Einstein Farm Video."

March!! Kalia turns 9 months!!

Loving bath time!

Kalia turned 9 months on the 25th of March. She had her 9 month checkup the following Friday. She did a great job for her shots...but we did find out that Kalia is anemic...her iron level is low. She is unfortunately in the same boat as her mommy:o( So it has been a week since she started her iron supplement...it doesn't taste too bad to me, but she makes a face like Daffy duck getting a bad position on one of those old cartoons. Since the iron...ironically she has been a wiggle worm. She wants to be on the ground...she is trying to crawl and has been trying for about a week. She gets from a sitting position to a tummy position all by herself, but then she doesn't know what to do with her legs. Maybe the iron is the reason why she hasn't been crawling? We also got the go to try some fingerfoods and new foods. Kalia LOVES Gerber puffs in peach and banana and she also loves to drink water out of her new sippy cup. She also enjoys shaking her toys, she loves turning the music on her "Amazing Animals" toy she got for Christmas, and loves cars...especially her Leap Frog letter bus.
