Playtime!

I am so blessed that each day I get to enjoy watching my daughter grow, learn, and play. These are just a few photos that I took while watching her today.

She get's so excited while playing sometimes. I love when her excitement boils over.

This video is from last week. She is such a story teller at times. Children are so wonderful.

Lunchtime!

Kaija has been eating baby food for about a month a half. These are some resent pictures that I love. Since both grandma's love to feed her. I haven't had to do it too much, but I am starting to get the hang of it. I think the top two pictures are with grandma Hill feeding her. I just love the sloppy face.

You gotta love a full belly!


This is from yesterday. I like this picture because you can see her two bottom teeth. What a pretty smile!

She get's so distracted by the camera but she was still cute to watch.

St. Patrick's Day!

Tyler recently joined the Knight's of Columbus, so when they threw their St. Patty's day dinner, we went. We meet we a co-worker of Tyler's and his family. We had a nice meal of corned beef, red potatos, and cabbage. This a the only picture I got of Kaija in her Irish green, hanging out with Donna, enjoying the simple pleasures of a balloon.

Lumberjack Longjohns!

These are from the beginning of February.

Tyler's cousin Susie and husband Dan sent us these cute longjohns, butt-flap in all. I haven't seen anything like this babysized, so I had to share.

Kaija and daddy are practicing her ski stance.

She really seems to enjoy watching skiing.

I am also throwing in a picture of Kaija's first Superbowl. Of coarse the big moving objects on the TV interested her.

Day at the hill!

At the end of January, Kaija and I worked the timing booth at the Pine Mountain Invitational ski meet. This was Kaija's first time out by the ski hill. It was a beutiful day.

Kaija was tuckered out after a hard day's work and fresh air. She was such a good girl.

My big girl

Kaija wore her little cheerleading outfit to cheer dad on at the ski race and after they had fun playing with her building cone.
Kaija is still adament that she doesn't want to crawl or stay on her belly too long but she sure likes to stand and is really starting to cruise if she can hold on to fingers.

Addison's 2nd Birthday!

Another Beautiful cake!

And a beautiful birthday girl!

You gotta love this smile.

Olivia's getting some early practice.

Say cheese!

Thanks for the goodies Matt!

Everyone just enjoying.

Time to open the presents.

Can we say happy.

Horses were a popular gift this year, and were a good choice. She loved them.

The rest are just a few more family shots.
