Easter.

Easter!  Easter morning we woke up to this cute face - ready for her easter basket!! =D

She had a blast!

Lol Riley in the background of course.

"Hey!  PUFFS!"

"But why aren't they the puffs I'm used to?  What's this funky wrapper?"

Little chick duckies =)

She has so much fun with her daddy =).

Her adorable little slippers! 

We enjoyed a morning of easter basket opening, playing, and daddy cooked breakfast.  Our little family time - it was great! =)

All dressed and playing with my new chicky duckies waiting for mama and daddy.

Modeling my Chloe Chic Bowtique bow!

Oh my something is just so funny!

I love this little face!

Easter egg hunt!!

And a picture that Dominic took on our front porch the other night.  

We had a great easter and I loved playing easter bunny and hanging out with my little family! =)  Kayden has been standing up in her crib all by herself.  I go in there after she's woken up and she's standing up!  It's bizarre!  And she is a monkey!  She is always crawling around so fast and into evvvverrrything!!  I was thinking of another thing that I wanted to jot down - but I forgot of course.  

Today I was listening to "You're going to miss this" by Trace Adkins today and it really hit home.  In the song it talks about how a lady is apologizing that her munchkins are screaming while the plumber is there - and he says "Don't apologize, they don't bother me.  I've got 2 babies of my own - one's 36, one's 23.  You're going to miss this - you're going to want this back - you're going to wish, these times hadn't gone by so fast".  ... I've heard this song before.  Lots of times.  But today I guess I just am in one of those moods where I feel lucky - lucky to have my little precious Kayden, even if she's screaming.  Lucky to have such an amazing man.  And I think Trace is right -- I'm going to miss this.  I'm going to miss the times I can spin Kayden up to my mouth and munch on her sides of her tum tum and she lauuuughs.  I'm going to miss the times she looks at me with her adorable little face, and smiles, and snuggles into my chest.  I'm going to miss the times all three of us are on the floor, crawling around, making obnoxious noises, but it doesn't matter.  Nothing else in the world matters at those moments.  I'm going to miss the sound she makes when she's working so so hard to climp over jungle-gym-daddy.  How his feet/ankles/calves, that he is using to block her in, are mountains to her.  And she defeats them.  And she runs out of breath.  And it's adorable.  I'm going to miss the times she see's something that is just so so SO exciting (i.e. the dogs) and lets out a ginormo scream.  I'm going to miss the times she's nakey and I can just stare at/squeeze her stinking cute little butt!  Oh I could die for that butt!  I'm going to miss so much of this - I really hope it doesn't go by so fast.  I love my little family - they're the BEST! =D

-Love you Kayders and Dominic - don't ever forget it!!-

Rub a dub dub.

Kayders officially loves the big girl bath!  Last weekend we experimented with the big girl bath - and it went great!  She had a blast! =D  She also has this new high pitched squeal, that she got to put to good use in the bath since she was so excited! ;-)

Oh my sweet little munchkin - you are such a cutie! =D  I lof u!!

And I couldn't resist at least one of that little bum.  I just want to squeeze it and eat it and om nom nom!!!!

Whooohoo for the big girl bath!  I'm so sad she's growing up so fast - but it is super fun to be able to play with her and do stuff.  And to see her having fun is great =).  Gah - just don't grow up TOO fast kiddo =(.

Next post - a million easter pictures!  I had to split it up! =)

Zoo & Kayden's Boo.

 We had a zoo play date this week!

We loved that we got to hang out with our friends, Alicia and Adelynn!  It was such a nice day - perfect for a sit on the blankie and a walk around the zoo! =)  Here's our little sitting hilarious experience.  They're just too funny!

"Ohh hey whatcha got?"

Kayders is just going TO TOWN! lol

Hahahahaha!  She looks like she's singing!

Ohhh my.  Check out this little cutie!

They are just too precious!  Kayden has the biggest smile, her little cheekies are so happy!! =D

I looove this picture!  I'm quite proud of it if I do say so myself! ;-D  They're so stinking cute I can barely handle it!!

Ah, the little zoo family that reminded me of Dominic, me, and Kayden.  Made me miss him, and think about what a cute little family we have, like this cute little elephant family, and made me smile.  =)

We also got to hang out last week with our friends Stephanie and Isaac! =)  We love to hang out with them too!  Isaac is her bf ;-)

Uh oh!  Already letting him grab boobies!  HAhaha!

Oh my little sweetie.  I love you so much!

Kayden is getting super good at crawling!  She just started pushing up from crawling into sitting - but it's still pretty tricky!  She had applesauce this week and liked it - more than her peaches haha!  I went in the other night after she had gone to bed and she was cuddling her tigger - it was seriously the cuuutest thing ever!  I wanted to take a picture buuut .. no way.  She loves to sit on Dominic's shoulders and hangs on to his hair and laughs and has a ball.  She still loves to sit in her bumbo and take out every single toy, over and over again.  And lately she's really liked to smoosh books together, as much as they can be smooshed I suppose.  Pushed together, slid bath and forth.  She's a silly goose.  I'm so glad she's mine! =)

A bit of a catch up.

Ohhhh myyyy.  I have been so bad.  Seriously so busy with KG and then the stinkin blog told me I ran out of photo space so then I kept forgetting to buy more.  And whew.  I'm in between orders and Kayders is down for a nap so I'm going to try to catch up real quick.  

Here's some from a couple weeks ago, we got lunch and ate at the zoo.  We thought we remembered everything but quickly realized we had forgotten a hat and sunscreen!  So we got some in the gift shop! =D  Haha whopsie.  Now we know!

Dominic is so silly =) 

A couple weeks ago it was getting pretty chilly.  We have adobe walls so if it gets super cold at night - its pretty chilly in the living room in the mornings.  She loves to snuggle up and watch her morning cartoons and play with her basket =).  I know she looks like a boy but those are butterflies lol - oh Kayders, luscious locks are welcome anytime ;-).

We got this amazing Made 2 Match bow from Chloe Chic Bowtique (the most amazing bow shop ever!)  so we had a little photo shoot.

HAHA!  Mommy and Daddy are on the floor under the coffee table and baby is on top.  She got a KICK out of this.  (So did we.)  =D

We tried out formula in a sippy cup but she wasn't having it.  She would spin it right away and just get super frustrated.

Other things we've been up to:

• Kayder's new favorite thing is to put "Item x" in her mouth, and then try to shove it in your mouth.  She thinks this is hilarious.
• She sits like a big girl in her stroller.  (No carseat for infant attachment.  Just plop, right in there, buckle up for safety, like a big girl status.)  This is convenient and cute, but it also means she faces out and I can't look at my precious little munchkin, it also means she is looking out onto the big bad world like a big girl.  Psh, I don't care what way she faces, she's my precious little munchkin.  Always.
• She now wears big girl socks as well.  (We just bought her little ankle socks last night that are pink on the bottom like big girl one's.  =D  Her chunky little legs needed some ankle socks! haha!)
• We had a play date yesterday with little Isaac (Pictures soon) and Kayden loooves him.
• Kayden LOOVES puffs!  I'll have to post a video soon but she is so funny!  She loves to pick them up and put them in her mouth (also such a big girl thing.  omg! =( so fast!).  Last night I was feeding them to her in her bumbo and putting them on the little middle part and she was just bending over and picking them up with her mouth and I was crrrracking up!  Oh man, she's soo funny!
• We've been trying to eat better and go on walks - the other night we took the dogs too.  Little family walk in the evening.  Cute =).

Hmm what else?  Can't think right now.  Easter is this weekend so I'm trying to make cupcake toppers, and cupcakes for that.  Going to the post office today, shipping out a custom order birthday set =).  Also already planning Kayden's birthday in my head.  Must finish baby shower and wedding things.  A season full of happy!  Whoohoo =).  And working on orders.  Trying to finish up all pending orders before we head up to Colorado next week.  Clean.  Laundry.  Pack.  So.  Much.  More.  To.  Do.  Gah!  Will update soon!  Promise! =)
