A much needed update!

Life here in Omaha is starting to look a little brighter! More sunny nice days, Kaisley can't get enough of playing outdoors...it is never long enough, EVER! I am so happy that I can officially say we've made it through our first winter in the mid-west! I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to end...life is much better when you can enjoy some vitamin D from the wonderful sun! In fact the weather this week is suppose to be in the 70's and 80's!!!! I can't believe this, I had to take a double and then a triple take when I saw this weeks forecast. We are going to be living outdoors, Kaisley is going to be in Heaven! So Kaisley is quite the little girl these days, she loves getting new clothes, this weekend I bought her a few new shirts and a skirt and she wanted to try them on and was so proud of her new items it was so cute! She is saying more words, like mama, dadda, daddeee, apple, up, down, cat, doggy, roars like a lion, a lot of ahhh-ah-ah's...and la-la-la's. Kaisley's loves to watch bugs crawl, she gets sooo excited but as soon as they get too close she freaks out, it's so funny I never taught her this it is just in her...girly girl I guess? She is very friendly she waves hello to everyone, and she has a really good wave almost like she is in a parade kinda wave...everyone loves it that's probably the only fun thing about taking her to the store. Kaisley is really good at begging and it is really driving Chris and I a little batty...hopefully she just grows out of this phase....and fast! Her hair is still a flamin mullet...yes, I know what am I thinking but I just want the sides to grow a little longer and then I am going to cut it until then pig tails are what she's sportin'. I must say in the pictures below she just has her hair down and I think it is kinda looking okay down, as long as I have a clip to hold back her front hair. Kaisley is a spinning machine, she loves to get dizzy and she will do it over and over again. She loves to jump off anything, she is pretty daring I must say...oh, and lately she thinks she can walk up and down the stairs and insists on doing so, she isn't quite tall enough so I always have to hold her hand so going up the stairs takes us a little time...the whole independent thing is already begun, she has to feed herself now, she already has an opinion on what she wears, especially her shoes....shoes loves them, I mean it she is crazy about them! Thanks grandma Fay for the cute shoes, when she first got them as soon as she woke up in the morning she would grab the shoes and want them on. Also she shows everyone her shoes by lifting her leg and pointing her toes, so cute! Sorry for the book but I need to document so I don't forget all the things...Oh yeah, I think I may have a problem, she loves gum! Yes, I know this is no good but I must say she really does chew it, it looks so funny. (it does last but maybe 10 minutes) Kaisley is so much fun I am so lucky to get to spend everyday with her and I can't wait to see what fun things she learns next month, I promise I will do better updating....xo

waiting to go outside....

Loves sunglasses! I think she needs a pair of her own, these are my second pair...

Well definately be using these this week!

Is it Swimming weather yet...Kaisley is getting ready!

Kaisley is gearing up for the summer time!!! I think she is going to love her grandparents pools! Lucky girl...

Oh, oh the things Kaisley does....

First thing...an explanation for the photo below. Last week Kaisley and I were out for our daily walk in the frigid air, and just as we were about to go back around to the other side of our house Kaisley books it to the parking lot...so I try my hardest to be quite while chasing her, because I don't know about you other mothers, but does it seem that when you began the chase they go faster and get a little more crazy with their footing? Anyways, the quiet thing didn't quite work the way I wanted because Kaisley started doing her crazy run and up in the air and then face plant on the ground, into the wet, dirty, muddy, freezing, asphalt! Me being the (wonderful) mother I am said a few choice words and then to make me look like even a better mother I picked her up and took one look at her and started to laugh. Yep, I know I am so insensitive but the look on her face was priceless so I had to take a photo...not sure if she really appreciated that, not only the laughing but a photo afterwords...come on mom! Just to let you know she was fine, just a few tiny scratches on her face.

Now this brings me to my title...Kaisley has been putting things in her ears lately? Should I be concerned...now I am just waiting for her to start putting things in other places like her nose...luckily I have caught her doing this every time and it hasn't been anything to small...until the nail, but even then I don't think it could have gotten too stuck. Is this normal?

and here is the nail in her ear! What is up with this?

Another thing is...Kaisley poops more than she pees!! Like 5 or 6 times a day!

She is seriously a pooing machine!

It is getting really really old...

I can't believe she hasn't gone on the floor because she prefers to be without the diapee, and she has mastered the removal of it as well. I think it is only a matter of time before I am cleaning up poo poo off the floor! Any advice?

Below are some shots for the grandma's, we love you!

Crazy girl, crazy hair!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone had a terrific V-day! We had a wonderful day together as a family. Kaisley is becoming quite the little girl, starting to talk a lot and mimicking everything she sees. I love her so much and she keeps me going, we have so much fun together playing with friends, cleaning the house, doing projects together, and hanging out with the best daddy ever! Chris is coming close to spring break...it's hard to believe it is spring break in 2 weeks because the weather is still freezing!! Will it ever get warm? Well, sending you love from the freezing mid-west!

Food Inc....

I just wanted to let everyone out there know that you need to watch this documentary, that is if you haven't already! This will open your eyes...I thought I was maybe a little crazy with not only what I put into Kaisley's body but also my own, this film reconfirms to me that I am on the right track, eating good WHOLE foods, knowing what every ingredient is...and spending good money on your food, it is essential to good health.

We have the power to CHANGE! (everytime you go to the grocery store)

Also go to the the food inc. website and sign the petition

to better change your school lunches...

Fun in the Photo Booth!

I thought since I don't have my camera...I should have some fun with the photo booth on the Mac! It was hilarious, Kaisley and I played on it for quite some time. She thought is was pretty funny, she was gigglin' the entire time! Oh, the things we do to allow the freezing winter

days to past...enjoy, we sure did!

GLOWING KAISLEY!!!!

Camera still broken...

Well, the other day I found Kaisley sucking on the battery to the camera...well now the camera doesn't work. I wish I had it because we had quite the storm last week and the icicles were everywhere! Oh, not to mention last week was probably the coldest week of my entire life!! I think the warmest it got was 0 degrees considering the wind chill and the coldest it got was something like -30 degrees! It pretty much stunk...all I can say is CABIN FEVER! So at least we started off this week well, with a warm 30 degrees and it is gettting warmer everyday, I think that by Sunday it is suppose to be 41 Yahoooo!! Melt snow melt... It is pretty pathetic when you consider 30-40 degrees warm jacket weather...well to more important things, Kaisley is becoming quite the little girl. Chris is so awesome he made another video of her, this time it is a year in review...he made it for her 1st Birthday and just finished it, thanks babe! Better late than never...he's been quite the busy dental student. click on the link ->Here's to Kaisley's First Year!! We love you!
