Birthday Party!

I wish that we could have gotten this up sooner - Kaylee's birthday was more than a week ago! But as we all know, life is busy! We had so much fun celebrating Kaylee's birthday...we had lots of food, family, friends and fun!

Here's Kaylee enjoying her cake...of course it took her a while to figure out what to do with it, but after a little encouragement from mom and dad, she had a blast!

Here is Kaylee with another one of her boyfriends...

And yet another...(daddy's getting nervous already!)

Auntie Kelly (and Tyler) Uncle Pat, Gramma, and Grandpa enjoying our jungle backyard...

And now I know that we're in for it! Look at our sweet little girl just take to this gift (a cell phone)! After she opened it she would not let it out of her sight!

Oh dad! Look what I got! ("Oh no!" says the daddy)

Kaylee just loves her gift from her Grandma and Grandpa K. Look at her go! I'm sure she'll be walking sooner than we think!

Visit from G&G K

We were so happy to be able to have Jared's mom and her husband come out and visit us for Kaylee's birthday. It is always nice to be with family! I know that they had a blast and LOVED spending time with Kaylee too! Come back soon!

Here's Kaylee and her Grandma Niecee enjoying a book together before bedtime!

And of course they couldn't come all this way and not play tourist in Hollywood! See the sign way back there in the background?

Happy Birthday Kaylee!

Happy Birthday Kaylee! Our 5 lb 5 oz little bundle of joy is 1 year old!? We can hardly believe how fast time has gone by. She has brought us joy beyond words and will have our hearts forever! We love you Kaylee!

Our little princess! She gets all excited when we tell her that it is her birthday! Look at her clap!

'K' is for Kaylee!

1st Birthday Princess (so the shirt says)...

You're all mine Mr. Boo Boo!

Shout Out!

Kaylee's giving a shout out to all of her peeps out there! Ya'll are the best! She has a long line of aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and great grandparents (she even has a cousin on the way too)! You gotta love the baby!

Mommy and Kaylee looking cute!

She had tons of fun last week with daddy pushing her in her cadilliac (race car style)!

Yummm.....little piggy you look very tasty indeed!

You're all mine! Ha ha ha.....

One of Holly and Jared's BYU friends came to visit this week with her daughter, Mariah. Kaylee just loved her red hair!

Kaylee had a lot of fun showing her how to play (with) the piano.

Twins (not planned)!

Cute little baby neck!

This is how Kaylee likes to play with the doggy...

Ha ha! I got it! We'll have to teach her about sharing soon.....

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Kaylee is not even one year old yet, but this is her second Easter! We just LOVED this dress that Kaylee's Grandpa & Grandma Thomson sent her (thank you). We got a little camera happy today - so bear with us here!

Here's Kaylee and the Easter Bunny!

Kaylee and Mommy (and little chicky)!

Kaylee just loves playing the piano. Look at her get up on her tip-toes!

Notice the good hand positioning...

He he...look at me!

The mail came the other day and Kaylee was Johnny on the spot. She helped mommy sort it out...Oh and notice the cute little chicky bum too!

Just more junk mail mom...

Oh - you should keep this one...it's a home improvement guide!

Here is our little flower!

Technology's Great (isn't it?)!

Well a lot of you all will have already seen most of these pictures (we get picture mail happy sometimes!). Believe it or not, only one of these pictures below was taken with a regular camera! When cell phones came out with cameras on them I remember saying, "Why would you ever need a camera on a cell phone?". Now I know. Thank goodness for technology! I love it!

Kaylee got a pretty good bruise (and bump) on her head last week. Good thing it's about gone now. It's tough getting your diaper changed, don't you know?! Here we are at Taco Bell - Kaylee is enjoying some good ole Zwieback Toast! She loves those things.

We were so sad about her bruised head, that we put a hat on her to wear at church so that people wouldn't think that we're bad parents...we had to hide the evidence. She still loves that thumb!

Kaylee and Mommy had a lot of fun this week.

She really enjoyed being outside on her bike!

Of course, Daddy and Kaylee had some fun too! She's trying out a new style. Gotta love the ghetto-style du-rag (aka pink tights)!

Here is a random collection of videos...enjoy!

Kaylee & Samuel

Kaylee had a play date last week at the park with Samuel (three weeks younger than Kaylee). It was very nice for mommy to get out of the house and enjoy time with another mom! The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and Kaylee took a well-deserved nap afterwards. Aren't they cute together?

Hey Kaylee...when we're older, maybe we could go out on a real date...what do you think?

Whoa! Slow down there, mister...not so fast. I'm not even potty-trained yet!

Hey...where'd my biscuit go?!

Hmm...I think that maybe I'd like to play with that...

Gotta love life as a baby!
