Kayders + Sunscreen = ...

THIS! =D  HAHAHA!!

We were sunscreening up for the zoo on Mother's Day - we met our friends there and got to see the cowboys that sing a song in Toy Story in concert! ;-p

She's getting so big and strong!

I love these little fingers =)

& eyelashes

 Concentrating super hard on her toy.

Last week we hung out and played with sidewalk chalk for a bit =)  I'm loving the nice weather!!

Thats the camera upload for now =)

When I open the door to her room...

This is what I see! =D

She's sucha little sweetie!!  I love getting her when she wakes up cause she's always in the BEST mood! =D  And now she's always standing up and so excited!!  I can't believe my baybay is getting so big!!

This is the "mama" face =D  She's in the midst of saying it! "Mmmm...ama!"

Haha!  I love how she crinkles her nose when she thinks something is hilarious! =D

She's the best!  

We went to walmart this morning to pick up work supplies and got distracted by all the fun summer stuff!!  They have SO.much.stuff. right now for the lake/pool and I'm getting SO excited!  We couldn't resist but to try out the baybay lake chairs and smelling all the candles in the "outdoor" area =D (And yes - she was having a blast doing all this too ;-p not just me!)  I have my eye on some shovel and bucket sets as well ;-)  I think we'll be going summer shopping asap! =)

Gotta run - work is calling my name ... loudly.

(p.s. I just noticed all the toys in her basket so these must have been taken last week when she was having her independent play time so mommy can shower =)  She doesn't sleep in her crib with 836 toys - promise lol!  And she's been hanging out nakey a lot lately cause it's been roasting and we only have the fan so far .. no big thang, its how we roll, ya know, nakey ;-) )

An Evening of Cuties.

Last week we went to the park in the evening to watch Daddy play flag football.  We've been wanting to go for awhile but it always ends up that the games are way past Kayden's bed time or it gets super windy etc.  But we finally got to go - and the weather was perrrfect!  Kayden was having a blast playing out in the great weather and with her new friend Christian and another new friend Emma (I'll have to find some pictures of her -- they were so sweet!  Holding hands and playing =) )

And I finally had a fellow mommy (Amber) who understands how it is to always be behind the camera so she got this one of us =)

 Daddy's girl - going for the football

I def. need to be practicing my photography - but check out this little cutie! =)  Wearing his flags even =D

And I'll keep working on my action shots but ah he's such a stud =)  And I can't lie - I got a little distracted from the footballrazzi - and turned into mamarazzi like usual lol!  Just too many cute kiddos!

Oh man.  We're going kookoo over here!  Kayden's new favorite thing to do is make spitting noises/sounds/whatever you want to call them - as soon as you put a big ol bite of baby food in her mouth.  All of our shirts from the past week or so are stained with splatter of multi-colored goop.  It's lovely.  I hope this stage doesn't last for long - I'll have to wear all black..

My birfday is in a week =)  I've been working my butt off trying to work my butt off..we'll see how it goes lol..  that Dr. Pepper gets me everytime!

Kayden just went down for her nap - thought I'd throw these up real quick because I'm so behind on editing/posting - but I have a TON of work to do!  Orders as usual + Cady's babyshower event set and Jenna's wedding order are approaching fast!  Gotta run - more pictures soon! =)

xo

Colorado in April.

We went up to Colorado a couple weeks ago for the weekend.  It's always fun to get away for a couple days and hang out.  We got to spend some time with little cousin Leo and he is soo stinking cute!  Here' a hug =)

The pictures are pretty random .. I didn't do a very good job of documenting at all.

Just a couple flowers.  One of the days Kayden hung out with my mama for a bit and me and Dominic went and hung out, walked around old town, and these were along the way.

Little drive - about 5 minutes from my moms.

Oh little Kayders, you're so fast and crahazy lol.

Kayden and Gma playing with the lights.  She loooved them.

More fun playtime with cousin Leo and uncle Randy! =)

Silly boy!

We got to watch Kourt play volleyball - she did great! =)

On the way home we stayed at our favorite hotel in Colorado Springs and got to go swimming! =D  It was Kayders first time ever and it was soo much fun!  We got her a little blow up turtle to sit in and she lovvved it - even before we got to the pool! =D

She splashhhhed and had a blast!  I was enjoying the fun too so I don't have any pictures of that.  Maybe soon =).

She's taking a nap right now - and then we're off to the zoo today for Mother's Day. =)

I can't believe I'm a mommy, and mommy to the cutest, sweetest, best little girl everrr none the less =D.  Love you Kayder Pataters!

Phone Update.

Here's a bit of update from oldies from my phone from March.

Riley is so patient with Kayden - she just lets her do whatever =p.

She cracks me up when she puts her feet up like this like its no big thang.  That would kill me!

Riley right next to her =) - this isn't unusual.

I love his face in this one =) <3 So cute!

Silly girl - that's not how your sucky fits! =D

I already miss these days - where it was chilly in the living room in the mornings and we would cuddle up and share a blanket.  I look over and this is my cute little view =)

Ready to go shoppin with mama =)

She LOVES the cart! =)

We went to Colorado last weekend to visit fam - and I'll have to upload those asap.  Been trying to catch up on Krafts Galore and laundry and get back into the swing of things etc.  I was going to run for the zoo on the 1st of May but we ended up going out of town (thank goodness because I was slllllacking on preparing haha!).  So then I told myself that ON the 1st (the evening we got back) I would buckle down and bust it out (by bust it out I mean bust out the hardcore work out mode lol), hoping to get into better shape for my birthday and summer!  Welllll... we had to get back into the swing of things the past couple days and go get some groceries etc.  And I finally did a work-out today, off of Comcast On Demand (sounds lame I know...)  and it whoped me!  I'm totally dying.  Like can't step into my jeans kind of dying.  Those lunges, they'll getcha!  But I like my little trainer that I found (they have a million!) - she told me I did a great job and that it was a lot of work!  Heck ya it was!  But hey lady, thanks for noticing! ;-p  

We're hosting dinner night tonite for some friends so I've gotta run - the house is a tornado and I've still gotta go to walmart (again!).  More pics soon to come! =)
