Step 1 - Cracker.......Step 2 - Bath

Okay, so this teething thing is getting horrific. She must be getting more teeth, right? Good grief she only has 2 and she is coming up on her 1st Birthday! She has been so fussy and whiny. She is chewing on everything!!! It has never been this bad. And we are back to waking up at 3 am again. I forgot how much fun that is. So.....I let her gnaw on crackers quite a bit. She loves them and I love the fact that they are actually edible.

.....But she makes quite a mess. So bath time!!

Don't you think she kinda looks like that little girl on the Grinch, Little Cindy Lou Hoo or something, I'm not sure if that's right, but I bet you know what I am talking about

All clean!!

Cold Weather....Bring it on!!

I just had to post this picture. What a cutie!! I walk with a friend who lives across the street in the mornings. It is getting pretty chilly, Kaity's little 6-9 month beanies weren't getting the job done anymore. She also has some little mittens that match, the socks over her hands trick wasn't working too great either.

Ready to go!!

My Studious Kate

What do you think? Dartmouth, Yale, Stanford?! She definitely can pull off the look.

"Get real Mom, I'm not even 1 yet. Talk about high expectations!!"

COUSINS!

We were in Brigham City for Peach Days with the family. It was so fun to see Kaitlyn and her little cousin Parker interact.

I have a feeling they will be good friends as they grow up, they are only about 5 months apart,
Gimme some already!!

My Excuse.......

I haven't blogged for almost a month!! I apologize!! I have been spending all my free time in a little town in northern Washington called Forks, in the mind of Bella Swan!! I read "Twilight," which is shown here- the first of a trilogy, in about 2 days. I went to the library to reserve the sequel and was very concerned when I learned there was a horrific waiting list, I was number 647!!! Oh my goodness. Patience is certainly not one of my virtues, as you may be aware, so I caved and ended up buying the next book "New Moon," and the final book "Eclipse." It was fantastic!! I am currently reading them again. It is actually really enjoyable the second time because there are little things that have so much more meaning after you know what is really going on!

Geocaching Adventure

The siblings were re-united finally after a long and painful hiatus!! Lindsey & Jake and Dylan & Ashley are back from Michigan!! We decided to go geocaching for a little while so they would understand how fun it is and quit making fun of us "nerds." For the record, they had "fun" HA HA.

What the heck??
Could it be up here?!
The siblings...putting their heads together.

"Kee Kee"

We were at my parents house for Labor Day weekend, where Kaity made a new friend, the "Kee Kee." She tried to get her hands on him all weekend long...and he was REMARKABLY patient and good natured.
What a good "Kee Kee" he was.
