Dance Dance Revolution

About a month ago we had fun night with bonfire at my cousin Trisha's house. Afterwards we played some games including Dance Dance Revolution. We had a great time. The kids were so funny.

I know, I know... It has been a while since I last posted but I have been having a lot of fun with my family. Here are a few pictures from our practice Easter photo shoot.

Hello camera!

This is a cute little bus that Kaija got. She needs to practice her vertical balance a little more yet.

We colored eggs a few days before Easter. Kaija seemed in awe with the colors, or just wanted to eat the egg carton.

Happy Easter kids!

This year's new arrival, Tanner, in our Easter basket setup.

Here's Kaija and me finding Easter eggs on the hunt.

Last chance for a photo-op.

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.
