GO KU and Kami too

Here is Kami in her cute little KU outfit. Sent with love by Kami's birth family. She wanted to eat the camera much more than she wanted to pose for pictures today!

Lance tried to build a Kami proof temporary wall, while we tried to decided how we were going to gate off a safe place for Kami. She figured out how to get over the cardboard wall right away! The first time she climbed over she literally turned round, looked at me, laughed and then went over the wall. It was hilarious. We have now found a way to block off the boys legos so all is well and the tacky cardboard wall is gone!

Check out those legs!

Checking to see who is watching her make her move.

Christmas Number Two--UTAH

Lance cousin's daughter, Cheyenne got a doll for Christmas that look a lot like Kami.


Auntie Amanda made these gorgeous, matching, Christmas skirts for the girls. (Carolina was not happy about the skirt and didn't want her picture taken.) Lydia and Kami sure did look cute.

Amanda gave Kami a fancy Christmas morning hair do.

Kami and Cash were so cute together. They sucked on each others toes!

She really is an Angel!

Amanda did a great job with the Children's Nativity story.

Zac was the king, Thomas was the Shepard, Brycen was Joseph, William and Lydia were Wise Men, Carolina was Mary, Cash was Jesus, Scott was the star, but he fell asleep before the show, and Kami was the Angel.

More cute clothes on our beautiful girl.

Brycen and Lance had a great day skiing--Brycen is hooked for life!

Fun in the Snow!

Could she be any Cuter?

Perfect postcard.

Zac waiting to go tubing behind the snow mobile.

William and Brycen could not get enough of of snow or each other.

Ready for fun.

Cousins and Lollipops--could it get better than this?

Kami and Cash--sweet babies

Who is that cute girl in the mirror?

Merry Christmas Number One

Luckily I have Santa's phone number. I called him a while back and asked him if he could come to our house early. He graciously agreed to come last Friday--that's right we celebrated Christmas on December 12Th. We will be with Lance's family on Christmas and then we will come home to have Christmas with my family on the 27Th--wow!

Zac and his submarine stocking stuffer.

It didn't take Kami long to figure out how to open her presents.

Another year and another awful Christmas PJ picture--we'll try again in Utah.

Kami and Mrs. Clause

Every Christmas the local fire department pulls Santa through town escorted by what seems to be the entire police force all with sirens blaring collecting food for the food shelter and giving out candy canes.

That one way to get the laundry folded!

Kami's first taste of pizza! She loves real food and hates baby food.


Kami at Zac's dance recital.

Can any one tell me how this, plus Lance's skis, is all going to fit in the our van?

Zac school had a dance recital instead of their typical Christmas program.

Zac did great!

Let it SNOW?

Snow in California--will miracles never cease! It was so much fun to wake up to fresh powder on the lawn and rooftops on Monday. The boys got to throw a few snowballs. Kami wasn't all that interested in her snowball.

Watch Out Here She Comes!

Kami just loves to be on the move. She loves pulling ornaments off the Christmas tree and finding anything that is left within her reach. She can even crawl up and over the one step we have in our house. It is so much fun just to watch her discover the world. Today I had Kami in my arms as we walked to get Brycen from his class. She noticed the noise the dried leaves made as I stepped on them. She just kept watching the leaves fascinated by what she saw and heard. I bend down and got her a leaf. She had lots of fun crunching it in her hand. Of course she tried to eat it too. She is so smart and i just love showing her new things.

Getting Ready for Christmas

On Thanksgiving morning Lance took the kids to the zoo so I could get cookin'.

We Went up to cut down our Christmas tree two days before Thanksgiving. I just love Christmas and I wanted to get our tree up as soon as possible. The kids love going to get the tree. We always stop at the apple farm for carmel apples, apple donuts, and apple cider.

Kami, Zac and Mommy hunting for the perfect tree.

Kami thought the ponies were pretty cool. Next year she will be old enough to ride.

Brycen thought he should be able to ride home on top of the tree. Kami thought she should be the driver.

Our big girl is sitting now.
