Sweet baby River...

We finally got to meet our best friends Mike and Nicoles baby for the first time!  He was sooo Handsome great work you two!  It was so cute, Kaisley was fasinated by him and she couldn't keep her hands off of sweet River...We miss you guys so much and wish we still lived next door :(  Maybe again someday in the future....I couldn't get over how big Kaisley looked next to a newborn....my do they grow quickly! 

This is for Grandma June...thanks for the Bumbo it has been a lifesaver!  Oh and also thanks for the PJ's they are so soft and snuggly.  Kaisley especially likes sitting in this watching me cook she thinks it's pretty cool!

We had a great time last weekend and are already looking forward for SPRING BREAK!!!!

Happy Valentines Day Weekend....here we come!

Look at those LIPS!

Happy Valentines Day!  It was a blast Allison, Katie, and Darci thanks for the great time!  Don't you love our V-Day cookies, they were a hit!

Kaisley loves to study with her Daddy!

Kaisley can't get enough of her feet...she perfers to suck on them when she's naky...

I thought this was so cute...sorry it is a little blurry!

Here are just some randoms photos from the past week...We had a great week and are looking forward to going home to Boise for the weekend!  

Randomness....in the photo booth!

Let's just say we were a little bored this afternoon....the Mac photo booth made our day!  I was laughing so hard, Kaisley even noticed that her cute self was a little messed up or should I say a little FreAkY!  The picture straight below is where we are wishing we could be at the moment!  Instead we are still here in the BeAuTifUl PoKy.....you do what ya gotta do to livin your spirits on a cold wintery day!

Ohhhhhh....Baby Kaisley.....

A little creepy!

Oh, could it be 2 Baby Kaisley's!

Some more crazy ones....

We miss you all.....see you on FriDaY!!!!

Weekly Update!

Look at those LIPS!....Don't you just want to smooooch-um!

She has just started attacking me lately, let me tell you she doesn't play soft....she has little daggers for fingers!

I think she looks like such a big girl....:(

Well Kaisley is growing by the minute....and changing like crazy.  I can't believe how quickly they learn, well lets see what new things Kaisley has discovered lately....well lets just say she knows she has a voice, she loves to do this screamin thing...that definately comes with being a girl!  And she love her toes, it was like one day she was like these are great and they are always there to play with, she especially likes it when they are sock less so she can suck on them it is great...it just makes changing her diaper a bit challenging.  Kaisley is now starting  to notice that there are other little people just like her, she gets to play with her buddies, Joe and Jaycee!  It's is getting more fun because they are actually starting to play!  Well that about sums up our week....

A brief undate!

Well life is great here at the Minert's...Kaisley is getting so close to sitting up...it is so cute, still a little tippsy....but she thinks she is such a big girl.  Kaisley and I are keeping pretty busy doing little projects, playing, cleaning, and of course sleeping...Kaisley loves to sleep!  I am so lucky she lets mommy get a lot of stuff done, including time for me to be creative....I included a picture of my latest project because it turned out so cute, Mary I thought of you while making it, I will have to show you how to make it the next time I come home!  Well hope everyone is staying warm this crazy winter season....can we think SPRING yet....the cold and snow are really getting old!  We may be in for a very long winter, especially here in Poky!

Look at her...isn't she getting so BIG!

She always makes this confused look, when I get the camera out...

Here is my lovely brooch I made...isn't beautiful!  Thanks to Etsy I was able to make a friend already, in Omaha...the lady who sold me this kit lives there and gave me an invite to go to craft/art night with her...she is an amazing artist and seamstress, I can't wait to go!  I have a few more colors...won't this look so cute on Kaisley...

Kaisley's very own chair...

Here she is mauling the piglet....she has just started putting everything in her mouth.  She thinks everything is a chew toy...

She had been in the chair long enough time to suck the thumb and take a snoozzzz

She just got finished crying, putting on this suit isn't her favorite thing...

Doesn't she look hilarious in this picture, this was the first time I put her in the stroller without the carseat, I think she liked looking out!

When I got this chair the other day, I got it thinking she would appreciate it much more when she actually fits in it...but to my surprise she already thinks it's pretty cool she spent about 20 minutes on it and let me tell you she loves those pink poka dots!  She thinks they are quite fascinating!  Later that day I had to get out of the house and since the sun was shinning it made it very enjoyable...if it wasn't for that crazy pocatello wind I think I could have worn a jacket and not a big puffy coat.  Well Kaisley hates getting into her pink striped suit, especially because it covers her little fingers so she can't suck on her thumb.  She didn't stop trying I think the entire stroll because when we got home her suit was soaked well, just on the hands.  Well life is just grand here, Chris is back into the swing of things and so are me and Kaisley.  Until next time....Oh, and by the way I can't post any of my videos???  What is the deal, it says there is an error, I wonder if it's because I have a mac?  HeLp.....I have a bunch of fun videos you will all enjoy :)

Our Christmas break in a nutshell....

We had a wonderful Break, so sad it had to come to an end....Kaisley's first Christmas was great, she got to meet and "play" with her new cousin Evan and Tesla, meet some more family including her uncle Brian who arrived home just in time for the Christmas season from his mission in Texas!  It was so much fun having him home, we love you Brian!  Well back to life here in Pocatello we are now all looking forward to Spring and moving to Omaha in May!  Maybe it is a little to early to be wishing for spring but it's what keeps us going...love you all!

Aunt Emily and Kaisley waiting for Brians arrival...
