Happy Birthday Grandpa Doug!

We just wanted to say we were thinking of you on your special day.  We love you and can't wait to see you soon...Hope your day was great!  We wish we could be there for your surprise party!  Love you, Kaisley, Summer and Chris

Kaisley is taking the binky...just for a short car ride and that was the end of that...

Well Kaisley loves to suck, and the other day I was trying to help her find her thumb...that didn't quite work she prefers to shove her entire fist into her mouth.  Well she was getting pissed off at that so I thought well maybe she'll take the binky?  Well I was lucky because she loved it...well for about 15 minutes and then she wouldn't have anything to do with it.  At least I got a picture, probably the last time I will ever get it in her mouth.  Well I guess I just won't have to worry taking her binky away when she is 2!  

Say ChEeSe!

Let the Christmas Festivities Begin!

We went Downtown on Saturday night to see the tree lighting, I must say it wasn't the most spectacular tree lighting but was fun to go sing Christmas Carols and hang out with friends Mike and Nicole and of course the Pence Clan!  Kaisley was of course sleeping through all the fun until Elly said "Kaisley's crying", we couldn't hear her because of all the Christmas music, thanks to Elly Kaisley got to enjoy some of the fun! 

We love the Pence's

Mike, Nicole and (baby boy!)

Thanksgiving Break!

We started off the break by going to the most amazing concert ever, Cold Play!  Wow, they know how to put on a show...thanks Chris for surprising me for our Anniversery/Birthday, it was the best gift ever!  Kaisley had her first offical babysitter too, thanks Saren for taking such good care of our babe...after leaving Salt Lake City we headed for Boise!  We had to first stop and see the newest (at the time) addition to the family Tesla, she is so beautiful it was crazy to see how much bigger Kaisley was then her and they are only 2 months apart!  Well good work Jay and Amy she is a beauty.  

This was a down pour of butterflies!

Viva la Vida

Baby Girls Are The Best!

Look at my chubby monkey...just want to squeeze those cheeks!

Kaisley spent Thanksgiving dinner sleeping on Grandma June...

My daddy is already teaching me how to play the Wii!

Elly is such a big girl, boy does she love baby Kaisley!

Well what a wonderful Thanksgiving week we had...there is so many things we have to be Thankful for, I love this time of year to reflect upon all the wonderful things in life.  I am so grateful for family, more than ever especially now that I have my own little family, it truly is amazing.  Also being a mother, I never new how much joy it could bring into my life.  

Fun Randomness...

Well Kaisley's as you can see is feeling much better!  Hooray, wow that was a long week...I am so glad she is back to her normal self.  We are so excited and looking forward to going home this Sunday, especially to see the newest addition to the family, baby Tesla!  Congrats, Jay and Amy we love you and Kaisley is so happy to have a girl cousin to play with!  Kaisley is now 2 months old, I can't believe how fast time fly's, it seems like just yesterday we were announcing the birth of our baby girl...well enjoy! 

This is my latest project, I have taken up knitting and I absolutely love it!

  I am almost finished with her hat, I tried it on her tonight and couldn't resist the picture, I think the knitting kneedles are a nice touch...

Dad was being silly...look I think she likes it!

CHEESE!

Kaisley loves to stand, it looks hilarious.

First day she was feeling better, can't you see it in her eyes!  No more sad eyes for Kaisley...

She was just about to pass out...

and here she is passed out...

Fun Filled Weekend With The Pence's....

It was so much fun, this weekend Andy, Mary, and sweet little Elly came to visit!  What a awesome surprise!  It was great, I kept it a secret from Chris and we surprised him, Chris had a whole week of tests and so this was perfect timing, thanks Mary and Andy for making our week!  The boy's had a lot of fun of course watching football and the girls...lets just say we have fun no matter what, Mary and I did get to do some shopping which was fun.  Well unfortunately Kaisley had a little too much for one weekend and ended up sick with a cold Monday morning...so so sad, I now understand what every mother means when they say, "it is the worst when your baby is sick", because it really is.  Here are a few sad photos of our little sickly daughter, I thought I better document her first cold since I'm sure there will be many, even though we would love to forget about the last few days...well I'm glad to say she is feeling much better and getting back to her normal self.  We love you Kaisley and can't wait until your 100%.  Being sick just sucks!

The Pence Clan! (I think this turned out so cute, maybe it should be there Christmas Card Picture...wouldn't that be cute!)  Love you Andy, Mary and Elly!!!

Daddy taking care of his babe...

Look at those sad sad eyes....

See the Fam in less than 2 weeks!

Yet another successful Halloween...

Well last minute Chris and I were able to pull off yet another Halloween Party!  It was a lot of fun, we had a few couples from dental school join us, we all dressed up, played games, and of course watched our little ones "play" in their cute costumes...it was so funny we seriously took pictures of the three little guys for like 20 minutes.  Joe he is the little man in the middle was so funny he kept trying to hold Jaycee's hand and Kaisley... lets just say she didn't have anything to do with that, she's still a little to young for that:)  Well hope you all had as much fun as we did...enjoy!

Our First Halloween as a Family

 Chris: Of course BSU football player  Summer: Butterfly Kaisley:  Lady Bug

Look how funny Kaisley's face is...she kept making that face I think she was a little weirded out with all the flashing of the camera...

Joe was determined to get that bunnies hand..

This is our friend Jason, him and his wife were vampires but I only have the picture of him and his baby the family one just didn't turn out...

Our lovely friends Zack and Katie, and of course the ladies man Joe!

Jaycee:  Bunny  Joe: Sailor  Kaisley: Funny faced lady bug

I had to take a picture of her Halloween outfitt Grandma Fay got her, she wore this most of the day...well when she finally woke up at like 2pm, seriously she slept the entire day!  It was the only way I even had a chance to put together a party...I love you Kaisley your the best baby a girl could ever ask for!!

She is not the most happy here cause we had to wake her up so we could put her real Halloween costume on...the party was about to start, other wise I would have let her keep on snoozin!
