too cute not to post
lately Kylie has been wiggling around on me until she falls asleep sideways

Dave put Kylie on the scale at Menchie's- Kylie, you are sweeter than fro yo.


Kylie got to meet my Aunt Bev, and cousins Josee, Tessa, and Liz which makes them her great aunt and first cousins once removed??? We had a little debate on this.

Weekend in SLO

I had a triple baby shower to go to for some good friends from college so we decided to make it a weekend getaway. It was our first trip with Kylie. She did great on the drive, slept practically the whole time, but didn't sleep so well at the hotel.
Taking a stretch break on the drive up at a Santa Barbara campground.

The girls after the shower at Avila Beach. The shower was at The Custom House where I was a hostess/busser in college.

The prego ladies in expectant order from right to left. Kelly due with baby boy May 1, Jess due with baby girl May 15, Kristen due with baby girl June 10. Kylie can't wait to meet all her new friends!


Monique and I with Katelyn and Kylie.


Ky and Kate have a very special bond because they have the exact same birthday (Kylie is 10 hours older:) and they both spent the first month of their lives in the hospital NICU. It was fun for them to get to meet and for Monique and I to compare notes on how motherhood is going.


Walking along the San Luis creek Valentine's day morning



Posing in front of the house I lived in during college...ahhh, such fun memories.

Matt stopped to surf in SB on the way home. He's ready for Kylie to go in the water with him. Not yet hon!

February Fun

One of the first shots I was able to get of Kylie smiling.
We hosted book club last night and Kylie got to meet Jonah Kai. Jonah's mom, my friend Brianne, said Yea, Jo Kai gets to meet Ky Jo! how fun is that!

Check out my cool kicks Daddy! I'm going to be running circles around you before you know it.


Kylie checking out her reflection.

Lindy and Britt come to visit!

My lifelong friend, Lindy, came to visit with her 8 month old daughter, Britt. We grew up together in Davis but she now lives in the suburbs of Chicago. She decided to take a break from the freezing cold and her 3 year old daughter to come visit us. We had a blast! It was so nice to see her, meet her beautiful and super fun daughter, as well as get encouragement and words of wisdom from a wonderful Mom. Here we are walking around the Trump Golf Course in PV. Gorgeous views!
Jim's movie was released to theatres last weekend. Matt's aunt and cousin babysitted the girls and we got to go see it. Thank you Cindy and Nicole!

And look who else we bumped into at the movies?!


Enjoying the beach after church and Pita Pit lunch.


Posing in the back yard
oops- don't know how to make it unsideways. Ohwell. I had 2 matching outfits in different sizes so we decided to dress the girls up as twins. Britt is all smiles as you can tell...I can't wait for Kylie to start smiling- it's still sporadic and I'm not completely convinced she knows what she's doing.

Pretty much impossible to keep two babies still....I think this pic is fun though because you can see Kylie's huge dimple...she has one on each side.

Thanks for a great visit girls! We can't wait til we see you next.

2010 Happenings....

Kylie just met Kara for the first time, she's 7 months older. Great to get advice and encouragement from the experts, John and Lauren.

so peaceful...
Trying to be more disciplined about reading my Bible...it used to be so ingrained in me as part of my morning routine but now it's a little more challenging (or a lot more!) to get it in.


Perfect sunset run on the strand. I love our warm weather.





Kylie was a little pouty while trying to get a 3 generation picture.

Kylie adored meeting her great grandma, Nana. She was awake and smiley the whole time Nana held her.





somebunny loves her bath


This one cracks me up!


She's finally starting to engage more. It's fun watching her watch the animals hanging from her bouncer or the butterflies flying on her mobile.

Matt's awesome stocking stuffers

Check out the gift certificates Matt made for me- I love them and I got 2 of each!











Merry Christmas

Kylie's first time in a dress for the Christmas Eve service. She was in her carseat with a blanket over the top for the whole service so no one else could see her outfit but we knew she had gotten dressed up for the event. And she did great- only made one peep during a prayer.
We love our new home.

Day after Christmas morning runners and walkers.


If you're interested in what Kylie's favorite song is....you may enjoy this video.
