Spring has Sprung!

K and her cousin C are haning out this week! This is just the start-

Happy Spring!

With spring upon us- so comes spring cleaning! We are going to be very busy this weekend as we have come up with a very ambitious list of things we want to get done. It's those last things to get unpacked and organized that we are straggling with! K and M went to grandma and grandpa's to try to take some pictures with the baby lambs, however K wasn't having it with the big sheep "baa"ing at us. She was freaking out so we settled with a stuffed animal instead.

I had to laugh when I walked into my parents' front room to find K in this position.

"You're under arrest- Put your hands put where I can see 'em"

The past two weeks she has really mastered crawling. We thought previously that she would skip it all together- but just as we said that she was moving! She is crawling up on things and people. We know we're in trouble when we walk into her room and see her standing in her crib looking back at us and grinning! I think it will only be time that she will be stumbling around like she was drinking something stiff from the bottle! :) G already thinks that she sometimes crawls like she's drunk.

Well wish us luck on our ambitious undertakings for this weekend!

Big Birthday Weekend!

It started out on Friday with M's sister and bro-in-law coming into town. They stopped in to see the new house and go out for lunch. We had a great time. M's mom and dad came out with them- mostly to see their granddaughter!














Friday night Aunt E watched K so mom and dad could go out for G's birthday! We went to Strongbow and had a wonderful dinner- alone! :)

Saturday morning we all got up early to head up north to WI! K got a lot of attention from her grandpa! They were playing on the floor, playing the piano and of course bouncing! That is K's favorite thing to do! BOUNCE!
We all went out to dinner Saturday night to the famous Corner House in Racine, WI. It's G's favorite place to eat when we are up in that area. Since it was St. Patty's Day they had a bag piper play in the dining room. K sure did check him out head to toe! I think she was a little curious why that man was wearing a skirt like her! :)
We went back to D's house where we watched some basketball and then stayed for the night. K did really well sleeping after a crazy day!

We woke up Sunday to the smell of breakfast, ate and then were on our way up to surprise Great Grandma!

















K didn't quite make it all the up to Great Grandma's before taking a little siesta. As you can see she is holding on to "Leap's" hand as she drifts off to sleep!







On the way up to Great Grandma's we picked up cousin B and then took the back roads.



Great Grandma sure was surprised when we showed up! She treated us to cake and ice cream and some old photographs and nostalgias from the 1800's. She is doing great and is looking forward to the spring!

After a long weekend we were happy to get home safe and sound!

Our little pookie!

I haven't sent out pic's of K lately so I thought that I would put a bunch on for ya'll.


She is growing and playing a lot as you can see! G and M are getting ready to do the big overhaul of child-proofing the best we can! G's birthday is Friday! He's going to be the big 2-8!


So to celebrate we are going to go out to CA next month. Not really for his birthday, but for a very good friend from college who is getting married! We are excited- yet a little nervous about a 9 month old on a plane. I'm sure we are going to make lots of friends on the flight :)

This is K's new train set from Aunt H & Uncle B!






She gives the animals kisses :)

Here's K waking Molly up from a good afternoon nap...as you can see Molly is thrilled!

K figured out that her hood is pretty funny at times!
This great outfit was from Aunt M!

After the intense playing it's always good to take a break!

Blog? What blog?

We've forgotten to update this for a while now...Sorry!

We finally made the big move and are pretty much settled in to the new house! We love it! It's just the right size and has all the wonderful things we love in it!

K is doing really good. She is trying to crawl forward although it seems that scooting backwards is her favorite! She's climbing all over G and M and anything else she can! We are thinking perhaps she'll skip the whole crawling thing and move on to walking...which is fine with us. We did a little research and it appears that all those rumors about "if they don't crawl they won't be as intelligent or coordinated later on in life, etc...." are just that- boink. She scoots around and crawls up on things and does everything else that a 7 month old should be doing and the pediatrician thinks she looks and acts great! That's always good to hear as a parent!

Well, there are more boxes to uncover so we best get going!

Here's a flashback from about 4 months ago!
