Happy Father's Day!!

I would like to wish all the Father's in my life a late Happy Father's Day

I think Jared enjoyed his first Father's Day although the poor guy was the lone Bishopbric member that day and next week so it was definitely a more stressful day!

Kailie and I thought it would be only appropriate to get Jared a Tie for his first Father's day and Kailie also wanted to get a cute BYU outfit that Jared has been wanted to get for her so that is what he got. It was a BYU day, but hey when in doubt get something BYU and he will love it.

7 Months the Wiser

Well Shoot!! I guess it is that time again when Kailie turns yet another month older. Kailie seems to be getting pretty wise nowadays so she is going to do this post.

Yo Yo this is Baby Kai Kai coming to you straight from my crib, you may not believe it but I am seven months old already and I think I pretty much have this life figured out. I have got my Mom and Dad wrapped around my little pinky finger, pretty much whatever I want I get. I have learned that if I am good and don't cry than I get to play with people but if I cry then I get put down for a nap and I Don't like to Nap.Who would want to sleep when there is so much to explore. Now if I could just figure out how to move then exploring would be a bit easier.

I guess first I should learn how to sit. Mom is always trying to teach me how to sit but what can I say I just like to lay down instead.

Mom also fed me some rice cereal, it was no breastmilk but it was okay. Squash and Peaches however are Delicous!! Yum! Yum! Yummy!! I love those, they can't keep it coming fast enough. So I prefer to just do it myself!This month has been tough, see I have this awful pain in my mouth, I am not sure why but it is not very fun, so I like to be held all the time it seems to take away the pain.

That reminds me of my binki, oh how I love it, I didn't like it a few months ago but this past week I have it in mouth all day long, it gives me something to chew on to help take away this pain. If I can't find my Binki then my toe works just as well too.

I love my Dad and miss him when he is gone. He is always tossing me around and playing with me, I love to grab his face and he doesn't taste that bad either!


And Mom well she is pretty fun too, except sometimes especially when daddy is gone on a trip I get bored just playing with Mom all day. What can I say I love people, they are way more exciting than my toys!

Well time to go to bed, I get tired at night and like to sleep for a long time.

Goodnight and don't forget to come visit me!

Oh yeah mom told me to let you know my weight, I can't believe I am going to tell you all how much I weigh, how embarrassing! Okay here it is, two weeks ago I was 13 lbs. 9 oz. so today i am probably a big 14 lbs. I know, I know I am a big fatty, but in my defense I am very tall a whopping 25 1/2" so cut me a break already!!

Worn Out!!

I think that Kailie has officially declared today Sleep Day!! We had a very busy week last week with lots of late nights and early mornings due to Youth Conference, Jared being in Iowa and me having to work so we are both exhausted. Right now it is 11:30 am and this is what Kailie is doing! She woke up for her morning feed at 7 am and then fell right back and is still snoozing. Poor baby, she must be completely exhausted.

Youth Conference went really well, it was with the stake we were in charge of workshops, it was definitely a lot of work, especially since we only had 1 girl who could attend. I think the kids enjoyed the workshops and we had great presenters. I helped teach the cake decorating class, which was probably the most time consuming preparation but worth it because the youth loved it and they did a good job.

Thankfully there was lots of help to take care of Kailie, she pretty much just got passed around the whole time.

My favorite part was the "roadshow/Polynesian dancing" Our ward was assigned to the Island of Fiji. It was really awesome to see these kids learn the dances and be excited to perform.



This was Kai during the Performance and dinner. Our bishops wife gave her a spoon to play with and she literally would not let go of thing all night!!

Our YW President took Kailie home early on Sat. since Jared had just flown in and I needed to stay at YC, so by the time I got home this is how she was. Sooo tired, she NEVER falls asleep in our arms but that week she did 4 times. All in all it was fun, I am glad it is over and we can get back to normal schedules. Thanks everyone who helped with Kailie this week, I really appreciate it.

The verdict is in...Unfortunately

Well we were HOPING for this!!!

Instead we got this...

Which means we will be living in the FANTASTIC town of Syrcause, New York by next July!

That is pretty much all I have to say!

Bringing Back the Blades, Baby!!

Apparently from all the crazy looks I get when rolling out and about, roller blading is soo last decade but I think it is awesome and am on a mission to bring it back!! I have been rollerblading since Junior High when my dad bought me my first pair of rollerblades. All through Junior High and High School my friends and I rollerbladed all across Provo and in college I even rolled all around Salt Lake so it is only natural that I roll all over Oahu as well. I have fallen in love with it again and forgot how much fun it is! Goodbye boring workouts, hello fun!! I even convinced Jared to bring out his old blades that we recently found at his parents house and now we try to go at night together!! It is a fun, fast workout that is enjoyable.
So if you are bored with running or whatever, strap on some blades and go for a roll because rollerblading is totally coming back!!
By the way both of our blades are from our Junior High years which pretty much makes them ancient, Jared's work okay but they make a really loud sound. Mine on the other hand are still amazing and I must say that I am sure when my dad bought them for me he probably gave me the lecture "If I am going to spend $90 or so dollars on these then you better take care and use them" well dad I think it is safe to say that you definitely got your moneys worth! These blades will last me a long time more. Just in case you want to join the club and get your own, mine are K2's.

Showers full of Surprises!

Kailie gets to play on her play mat while I shower. For the past month or so by the time I get out of the shower she is usually facing the opposite direction and has pulled the play bar down! Basically I never know how I am going to find her when I get out!

One particular day I was greeted by a big green smiley face that had very familiar arms and legs! I still don't know how she manages to get herself in these positions but it is always fun to see what she'll do next!

She seems to enjoy these surprises just as much as I do!!

Haven't Had One of these in HOW LONG?
