Happy Birthday Nick!!!

(Aaron & Nick on Nick's Birthday)

Today is Aaron's brother Nick's BIRTHDAY!! We have been lucky enough to have "Uncle Nick" taking up residence in our basement since last September. The kids have enjoyed having their uncle around and I've enjoyed having an extra babysitter and dishwasher! Ladies, Nick is very single and quite available! He will make a great husband for the gal lucky enough to catch him. Do you know any one we can set him up with?? Happy Birthday!!

7 Months Old

Emily is 7 months old today. I can't believe how quickly the past 7 months have flown by. I was looking at pictures of her this morning and she's looking more and more like a toddler and less like a baby. She's really turned into a little chunky monkey as of late. She's getting herself around but isn't necessarily crawling yet. It's pretty funny to watch. Logan was a speed crawler at this age. Emily is just content to get to where she's going - one way or the other and enjoy the sights along the way! I put her hair up into some little "piggies" this morning. She looked so cute!!

Children's Musuem

Kaya's preschool class went on a field trip to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum this past week. Admission was $3 per kid and the adults were FREE! What a deal. They only let us stay for 2 hours but it was just enough time to play and explore the museum. Even Emily enjoyed playing in the toddler area. We treated ourselves to some lunch afterwards at Panda Express. It was really good to get out of the house. Kaya had been sick most of the week and was finally feeling better. She missed 2 days of school with a high fever. I'm looking forward to getting back on schedule Monday morning. We just received our paperwork in the mail to register Kaya for Kindergarten!!! I can't believe my little girl is getting so big. It happens so fast!!!

Emily is on the move...

So Emily isn't exactly crawling yet, but tonight she figured out she could get herself from point A to point B. She is quite the talker and is enjoying her floor time. She'll be officially crawling in no time at all!

It's all about Kaya!!

Last weekend we signed Kaya up to play indoor soccer with some kids from Church. It only lasts for 6 weeks and we thought it would be good to start exposing Kaya to some different sports and extracurricular activities. We picked up some new athletic shoes and a pair of shin guards last night from Target. Kaya had no idea what soccer was until Aaron showed her some YouTube videos this morning! Kaya attended an hour long clinic to learn about warming up, stretching, kicking the ball, and scoring goals. She was VERY proud of herself for being able to kick the ball into the goal net. She loved her shin guards so much, she wore them to the park this afternoon. Silly Girl!! I also signed Kaya up to play T-ball through the girls softball association. She doesn't have any idea what T-ball is either but we're getting her excited to play with the other girls. That will start in April after the weather has warmed up some. I'm especially excited for her to play. I'm hoping she'll go on to love the sport!

Thanks, Grammie!!

Last weekend, the kids were treated with a visit from Grammie. (Aaron's Mom) We had a little birthday party for Grammie, celebrated Valentine's Day, and took at day trip to Ogden and the train museum. Aaron, Cheryl, Kaya, & Logan rode the Frontrunner train from Salt Lake up to Ogden. Since I had to attend a gift trade show for work that day, I dropped them off, attended my show, and drove up to meet them. Logan LOVES LOVES LOVES trains. He was in Heaven! Kaya enjoys playing with the trains too and really enjoyed the outing. They had a picnic lunch on the train and especially enjoyed the exhibits in the museum. Thanks to Grammie for the nice treat!

6 Months Old!!!

Our littlest moose turned 6 months old on Sunday! Can you believe it? Emily is almost ready to crawl. She gets into position and rocks back and forth on her hands & knees. It won't be long now. Emily loves being entertained by her older brother and sister. She especially likes to he be held and loved by Mommy. Daddy can sure get her to laugh too. Emily is such a flirt and has the biggest smile for anyone who catches her attention. She has been so much fun and such a good baby! We love her and the big kids SO much! They may drive us a little crazy some days but it's all good in the end.
