Ears

Though we were really hoping to avoid it, after many ear infections, we followed the Doctor's advice to have tubes put in Kai's ears. We are really hoping this helps him to feel better. Bright and early at 6:15 this morning, we checked into the hospital and began our wait. The fact that Kai wasn't supposed to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before made our hour and a half wait seem more like three. At 8:00, they took Kai in for surgery. The surgery was quick (only about 15 minutes), but he wasn't too happy when he woke up. He needed his dad and was ready to go home. After a big nap in his own bed, he was acting like himself by noon. I think that the new toys his grandma's brought over for him made the whole experience worth it!

Kai is going to have a baby brother!

We spent Dal's spring break in Vegas! It was awesome! Camille let us stay with her and her cute fam. I miss them already! She always takes us to the best places to eat, shop, and play. Thanks for the awesome pictures ;).

The beautiful weather made it really hard for Dallin to get me in the car to come home. 80 degrees is my kind of weather. I wish I lived there...

He's Home!

My brother returned from his mission on Friday. I could hardly wait for Friday to come. It was fun to see him. He got to meet Kai for the first time, and immediately started to work on becoming "the favorite Uncle." He was such a good Missionary, and a good example to me. I am so glad he is home! We have lots of fun things planned to do with him before he starts school. Welcome home Sky!

Playing At The Park

We visited our friends Kam & Mal tonight and Kai just loved playing at their park. I couldn't resist taking some pictures of us finally spending some time outside. He would laugh so hard when Dal would go down the fire pole (so would I). It is fun to see him enjoy being outside this year. We are so excited for SpRiNg!!!

Bye-Bye "Bobs"

Taking away a babies bottle =

1. Crying

2. Sleepless nights

3. Fit throwing

4. Starvation

5. Frustrated Mommy

6. Did I mention crying?

To say the least, things have been a little rough around our house for the last 3 days! I knew that when Kai turned 1, I had to take the bottle away. I didn't want to. He has always been on a bottle, and has done great.

Well, I did it. It's gone. I feel bad, and I guess I can't give it back.

Sorry Kai. Hopefully you will find love for your sippy, SOON!

He won't touch it now that he knows "bobs" is gone.

Wish me luck....

1 Year Old

Happy Birthday Kai!

My baby isn't such a baby anymore. Today he turns 1.

He walks around, eats big people food, says words,

gives kisses, and knows what he wants.

Today is HIS day. He gets to eat as many bananas

as he wants, get in the tub/shower 3 times, watch

The Little Einstein's all day, dig into a Birthday cake,

and savor this last little bit of time he has left with his bottle.

Happy Birthday little man! Thanks for coming to our family!
