We had a terrific weekend with Chris's parents! It was nice to have family in town again, it's a lot of fun because Chris gets a break from studying too! Although it's hard when they have to go, it makes you want to go home with them...but we did a lot of fun activities while they were here, including a trip to the zoo. The picture below is of Kaisley waiting for her grandparents to come...I thought this was a good picture of her hair. It is getting longer :)

Us in the Jungle!

This picture didn't turn out the best, they were on a bridge and Chris was on the other side of the waterfall taking the picture...

Thank you Dave and Fay for the wonderful weekend!

Hope you all had a great weekend too.

Kaisley is a walker

Kaisley has been taking steps here and there for about a month....but I wasn't ready to say she was offically walking, but now well...lets just say she is on the loose, nothing can stop this little munchkin! Chris thinks she looks like a monkey when she walks because she puts her arms up above her head and waddles. It is so cute, well this video was of her about 2 weeks ago and so it is a little shaky, I need to video her now that she is a little more stable. Oh yeah...HORRAY I can finally post videos!! Lots of love! xoxoxo

Fall Break....in the Bahamas!!!

Fall break is a wonderful thing... especially for crazy stressed, brain drained dental students! Chris and I went on a very spontaneous (much needed;) trip to the Bahamas this last week with some of our best friends out here!! It was my first time away from Kaisley which made it some what difficult but I knew she was in good hands back at home....Grandma June came to take care of our babe, THANK YOU Grandma!!! We LOVE you soooo MUCH! Here is just a sneak peak of our trip...I am already wishing I was back in the 90+ sunny weather...instead I'm back here in the dreary cold of Omaha Nebraska...I think the high is 43 degrees!! Lets just say it pretty much stinks...I'm stuck asking myself why did we chose to go to school here???

Can I just tell you, this picture doesn't even compare to the real thing...

Chris really needed some down time! It was soo nice to have my husband back!!

I will give you all a slide show of the crazy fun we had later :)

An Update!

Well these past two weeks have been a little crazy, Chris has had a marathon of tests...midterms is so much fun....not really but we are so proud of Chris he is so close to being finished with this round of tests...Fall break will be here soon! Yippee!!! Kaisley and I have been keeping ourselves busy by playing outside in this beautiful Fall weather, going on walks, playing with friends, doing a projects here and there...., going to music class, and the list does go on....this is what we have to do STAY BUSY!! Otherwise you start to realize how little you do get to see your husband and then you start feeling sorry for yourself, but luckily pretty much everyone I live around are feeling the same way so that is a blessing!! We can all relate :) So Halloween is coming up and let me tell ya I am getting ready for my annual Halloween Party! So if any of you back in Boise would like to come, you know we do have a guest bedroom...r.s.v.p!!! I wish...So I promise I will be posting pictures of our house soon, you know me I am a little o.c.d...so I have just a few more projects and then I will give you a peek into our little Abode...oh, and I have tons of projects that I have done for the house, if your lucky I will share them with you all ;) Well hope everyone is well, Kaisley is becoming quite the "little girl", she is really close to walking...taking steps here and there, but is still really cautious. It seems like everyday she gets a little braver and a little more confident in her steps...we are in no rush to get her going as she is already into everything as it is! Well here are a few shot of our little muffin!

She loves to hang out on our bed!!

And in baskets...it was so cute she pulled this basket off the shelf, threw everything out of it and sat right down, she was getting in and out, in and out for about 20 minutes I swear...she loves to empty out stuff like baskets and boxes so she can climb in. The basket of toys in her room is mainly there so she can do this...most of the time her toys are for this purpose, I'm sure all you mamas out there can relate.

Kaisley's 1st Birthday Party...

We all had such a great day, on Kaisley's special day! Well Kaisley and I started off the day by walking to the zoo and exploring all the fun things it had to offer...the baby gorilla was by far the highlight...Kaisley wouldn't stop staring at it, it was so cute. This zoo worker has to hold it all day because it's momma got injured and can't care for her baby. Isn't cute, so strange to see an animal that is so much like us...the baby gorilla was wearing swaddler diapers!

Would not stop staring...she wanted to get through that glass so badly.

This picture is so cute...can you see the gorilla?

She loves the aquarium tunnel...sharks, sting rays, sea turtles, and lots of beautiful fish all swimming around...

The Butterfly Exhibit...was probably second in line to her favorite....butterflies flying all around you landing on your head, arms and feet....and they are so pretty!

She went after this one...I was lucky to catch a photo!

Staring at all the butterflies flying around...

The Giraffes!

Jungle Land....

The Big Party!! We celebrated with Jace, Haley and Randy's little guy, they are only a day apart...we had a low key party with just a few friends and 2 girls from Chris's class they are the sweetest...they are Kaisley's adopted aunties here in Omaha...
