My blue eyed girl.

ALRIGHT!!  First -- please take notice and check out my new Facebook Page!! ---->

PLEASE, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! =)

I believe you can click the link, even if you are not a Facebook member.

I am working and brainstorming away to find a way to make some extra cash these days.  Please feel free to look around and contact me at kayla_conn@yahoo.com with ANY questions, custom orders, suggestions, ideas, etc! =)  Thank you! Thank you!  (Don't forget, there are birthday's year round people, do you have your birthday cards on hand?) ;-)

Now.  For the more interesting part.  This little goober is getting soo good at sitting up!  She can pretty much sit up all on her own, but if she jerks then she usually topples over - which makes for a mad Kayden, so we're working on that.  ;-)

 The dogs are always close by!  They lof her.

Kayden loooves the mirror!  I was trying to get a good one of both of us (I can only make her smile for the camera in the mirror, other wise she's too distracted by the camera), but I ended up looking like a freak.  She's cute tho =).

Her new favorite thing to do is lay with her tiny bum against the bottom of the book case, and slide her feet across the old VHS's.  There is a little extra room, so they make a loud obnoxious noise.  She thinks this is superb.  Other favorite things:  1.  Grab.  Anything.  Your mouth.  Your nose.  Your eye ball.  Your eye ball lid with her razor sharp nails and grip of a cobra.  Mommy's hair, which is getting thinner and thinner by the day because of this.  Anything really.  She, in a whole, is a danger zone.

She can stand!!  (For about .3 seconds but hey!)  She was doing it all by herself for about .3 seconds, but I wasn't quick enough with the camera.

Haha!  Heyyyy girrrrlfriend.  You look super cool!  This is on the way to the park last week.  Her cool shades lasted about 15 seconds and she was breaking them/stabbing herself in the eye trying to eat them. Bummer!  We'll try again soon.

But she still loves the swing!!

Ohh its so fun! =D

Grandpa and Grandma Kitts got her a little bears jersey.  (Daddy is not happy about this -- he is a Bills fan.  100%)  Anyway, she wore it on Sunday, and Josh had the same exact jersey on, so I, of course, had to get some pictures.  And yes I realize her bow doesn't really match, but she needed it, to look like a cute little girl.  haha.

She is soooo white!! HAha!! 1/2 of the people are paying attention:

1/2 of the people are paying attention again ;-):

She's so close to crawling!! =)

She matches the room ;-)

Kayden and Daddy watching the game.

Daddy had to go out of town for work for a couple days this week =(.  So Aunt Chris came to hang out =).  We've always liked to color and chit-chat.  So that is what we did.  =)  (Kayden hung out and gib-gabbed.  ;-) )

Haha this one just cracks me up.  It's getting so hard to take pictures of her!  She is constantly trying to grab the camera!  And those eyes... ohh girl I love those eyes.

I like how you can see her mouth through the toy here.

Hey little cutie.

All three, rolling on the floor.  =)

Still loves her bouncer!

Grabbing for the camera again.  Little stinker! =)

Heyyy!  Why you keep doing that and not let me touch it!

This is really a happy face-- haha she cracks me up how she uses her WHOLE face to smile! =D

We weighed her last nite finally.  18 POUNDS!  My little chunka munka!  And about 27 inches long!!  She's growing so fast!

Hmmm..what have we been up to?  She's been rolling like a crazy thang.  And is soo close to crawling.  She can almost hold her bottle all by herself - but can't figure out how to tip her head back.  This weekend we just pretty much hung out - a much needed kind of hang out family weekend.  I love those.  This week has been kinda busy and weird.  Dominic was gone for a couple days and one night, so it's made me confused on what day it is all week.  I've been job searching, working on some more mail art, and trying to get some crafts up for sale.  (Again-please check it out, and custom order anything your mind can imagine.  I will be keeping it updated with new crafts, and new options.)  Other than that, just a busy same ol type of week.  TGIF though!! =D  Wahoo.  Maybe it will be nice enough out for us to have a picnic or something.  I've been trying to get us to go to the park more, and even just a walk...we're getting there.  Haha.  Gotta get in bathing suit mode...after pregnancy...I'm not sure if that will EVER be possible again.  =/  We'll see.  Either way, I'll figure out a way to dig in the mud with Kayden at the lake this summer, if it's the last thing I do.  ;-)

I love that munchkin, and that man.

A busy week.  We haven't really been up to much in particular but..it's seemed busy for some reason.  Here's just a few randoms of the girlie.

Happy New Year!

Hold that cheeky up.

Unexpectedly, Dominic had to stay in Arizona on Wednesday night.  So this is what we did:

laid on the couch with blankies and movies.  =)  She loves that little blankie bear thing and was so content like this for so long, sucking on the corner silky part, and hanging out with Mom.  Precious.

Haha!  This one cracks me up because of Dominic's silly face.  She loves to do this!  I can't wait for this at baseball games, the fair, etc. ;-)  (But I can wait, she's already growing so fast!!)

She's so funny.  Leaning wayyy back to look at ... somthin. =D

Nom nom nom!

Lil precious thing.  She scratched her nose =(.  Umm...that's a vest!!  So freaking cute.

Holy Moly - I can't believe how fast she's growing!  It's tripping me out!  To think...in less than a month she will be half a year old!  I was writing about the labor the other day and it's bizarre that it's already that long ago.  I'm already planning her birthday party ;-).  I've been collecting cookie cutters too! =D  We need to weigh her soon...we don't have a scale at our house so I never think about it when we're around one.  She's getting big though!  I tried to put her size one shoes on the other day that we love(d), and nope, no way was it going on her foot.  Lil munchkin, stop growing so fast!!

Having a blasty blast eating bananas with pops.  She's a crack up!  ...And a mess.

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary of being "facebook official".  Haha.  Just joking.  But anyway, made these cookies.  It was a good day!  We took the munchkin with us to eat dinner with some gift cards we got for Christmas =) (after all, us being together..made her...haha).  We grubbed down!  Then just spent the evening enjoying each others company, doing what we love to do -- playing video games, catching up on our latest Netflixed season (Grey's Anatomy), and after the munchkin was asleep for the night, a few drinks.  =)  I love to hang out with him, he's my bestie.  Can't believe how time flies, it's been a wonderfully wild ride!! Thanks babe! =)

Today is a lazy day - I love it.  Just hanging out.  And this morning...Kisses on the chin...

"Heyyy!!" 

Happy New Year!

This cute little squirt loves this toy!  Her faces are priceless...all the time!  It's great!

It actually freakin snowed (and by snowed I mean it was all gone in 4 minutes, of course.  I wouldn't expect anything different.  God forbid I get to make chocolate snow...ever!  Ugh! ;-) ) in Albuquerque so I had to document it.  They're funny, sometimes (the seldom times that we get snow or rain or anything!) they love it and play, and sometimes they're not so fond, and hurry to potty.  This day was a day that Riley was on a mission.  When she finished I was waiting towel in hand at the back door.  They are fully aware that they're supposed to stop there, and let each paw be thoroughly cleaned before they stinkin jet through the house, usually to the guest bed pillows.  That is their favvvorite spot.  Anyway, there I stand waiting, as she decides to fly past and run straight through the entire house and lay in front of the heater so it could blast in her face.  That little punk.  Now I had a 30 foot trail of little mud paw prints, and Dozer was finishing up quickly. 

Luckily, he's a good boy ;-), and waited outside like I said.  He decided this would be a good time to catch/eat some snowflakes.  Silly guy.

The other day she somehow got like this, and was loving it.  She was cracking me up.  Those are my new radical pj's from Dominic for Christmas. =)

She was so happy.  It didn't look very cumfy...

"Happy New Year" =).  They...didn't work out how I planned.  They're supposed to be little party hats, but that didn't work.  And the colors meshed together, which didn't work either.  And now after continuously forgetting to take them over to Grandpa and Grandma Kitt's house, and having people over last night that didn't know they were there, they now sit on the counter, stale.  Sad day.

However, I think these party hats came out super cute.  =)  Molly and I did a little craft sesh yesterday creating our festive homemade hats.   A mixture of Happy New Year, 2011, Party on Dude, and 2 Beer Pong Champs hats included.  They were a hit, whew!

And Kayden's little "handprint" ornament.  We'll try again next year.

 We got her this for Christmas and I don't think she understands that this one is a lookie toy, not a chewie toy. ;-)

We were lucky and got to go on a hot date last night and have some friends over to celebrate the New Year.  I read this little fun thing on Dating Divas blog.  (Check the blog all you people in relationships, it's pretty cool, and gives me lots of fun ideas, like the Christmas cards for each day of December for Dominic, and all kinds of stuff.)  Anyways, I got this little idea from there, and he was nice enough to play along.  We seperated before getting ready, got ready at opposite ends of the house, and he went outside and "came to the door to pick me up".  =) (This was extra nice of him because it was absolutely freezing outside!)  So that was fun.  We went to Bravo, a new place (to us, not to..the land of enchantment haha).  And then had some friends over.  It was great.  We had so much fun, and I'm looking forward to the new year!

And these...are some pictures of a calender I made my mama.  The cover is a mosaic of our family photos, and a picture that I took off the coast of San Francisco on a boat.  I just picked this picture randomly because I think it's pretty cool, and I liked the color of the water, that I also used for the font for their name.  Anyway, everyone keeps saying I should make this a little business so I suppose I'll just throw it out there, and see how it goes haha.  Mine took about a week to come in.. and I'm aware that it is already January soo..sorry that if you choose to do this it will be a week or two into the year...buuuut they're very cool!  I want to make one for us!  You can choose any photos, and any number of photos between 12-74.  And $35.  Soo..if anyone is interested (even for next year) please let me know.  We could use the extra cash, and I'm telling ya, they're super cool haha.  Ask my mom. ;-)

This is just an example, and my Aunt Misty is on her birthday.  You can put any picture in any boxes as well, which I suppose would make you be able to use more pictures than 74...

And here are a couple other mosaics that I've made in past years.  A mosaic isn't a must, I just think they make cool covers.  I can do it with any picture really.

Sooo yup.  Anyway--if anyone is interested please let me know! =)  I think I am friends with most of you who I think read this on Facebook, or my email is kayla_conn@yahoo.com.

Our New Years Resolutions:

Dominic "I need to get into better shape so I can play with Kayden forever, cause whoof, Dad's gettin chunky."

Mine:  Haha, I second that.  And I'm working on my patience.  I need more of that.  And also being able to handle crazy places (like Santa at the Mall lol). 

We'll see how that goes lol.

And yes this is the first time I've tried to use the links, and I'm going a little link crazy ok.
