Messy kid.

Lemme tell you, this girl can make a mess in two seconds flat.  We turn our head for no more than two seconds, seriously, and this is what happens.  Gah, she's a wild one, and fast too.

And she LOVES beans!!  We loves a restaurant here called Twisters, and I like mine with no beans; which has become beans on the side for little Kayder tot here, who goes.TO.TOWN!

She doesn't even have to pay attention.... lol!

Lol I think she does it on purpose -- to get to take a bath later.  Crazy, messy girl!

<3<3

Zoo day!

Kayden gets really into it these days and loves to watch the animals!

Tickles from Daddy can't distract her ;-p

Loving the monkeys!

Making monkey noises!

We love the zoo!  It's finally getting warmer again so we'll be going a lot more often I'm sure! =)

I couldn't get the video to upload =(  But I'll try again later.  I don't get this thing sometimes...

Our Christmas.

Christmas Eve we decided we would open 1 present each ... they were so excited!

 

Lol I don't know where she learned this look, but boy is she sure good at it. 

But she quickly changed back to super happy about her new Bills pillow pet from daddy =).

The next morning we opened the rest, before everyone came over for the open house.

Daddy's work desk calendar =)  She loves to look at pictures of all of us right now.  We have lots of frames up around the house and she'll pull us over and point and point until we get her close so she can admire.  =)

This Christmas we decided to stay home, and have lots of family time.  We invited everyone over on Christmas afternoon & were so thankful that so many people were able to come.  It was great to hang out at home and let Kayden roam, and show everyone how hard we've been working on our house.

Christmas Eve was spend preparing a lot of stuff, baking, cleaning, organizing, along with all the norm that has to get done - nap time, food, etc ;-).  I kind of still feel like it didn't really happen; like we didn't really have people over.  It just all went so fast.  So much planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning went into it, and then whop - all in 3 hours, it's all done.  But it was great - to get to host our first Christmas! =)  Sadly, I didn't get many pictures - so if anyone did get others, I would love for you to email them to me!! <3  Thanks! =D

After party ;-)

white elephant & birthdays.

Annette's family plays white elephant every year - here's some of that..

Kayden had a blast, watching everyone running around stealing presents ;-)

And I couldn't leave with out taking some pictures of those adorable puppies!

"Tag Dad!"

Gma & Gpa's Birthday =).  I love little munchkin in this!
