"Mom, he's touching me!"

Oh cute. They are holding hands.

I could pretend they were, but no they're not.

Cal was touching Kai's blankey.

For those of us who know Kaizy poo know that his blankeys are a big deal,

so he is pushing him away. It was so funny to watch him try to be soft,

but to get Cal the heck off his beloved blankey.

The look on his face in the last pictures says exactly how he feels.

What am I going to do with this cute kid?

Poor Cal.

I have been trying to practice using my camera, and learning to take better pictures.

I am not an aspiring photographer by any means, but we were at the park enjoying the

fall weather and I thought Kai looked so cute.

I decided to pull out my camera to take some pictures of him,

and instead I got a lot of this...

I give you the many faces of Kai.

Taking pictures of a 19 month old can equal a headache. He isn't real into "posing,"

so instead I chased him around the park and let him do his thing.

Week 1:

In our first week as a family of 4.....

I have spent lots of time snuggling this little man,

and changed more diapers between Kai & Cal than I can count.

My other half went back to school for one more semester,

and this is as close to baby brother as Kaizer has been!

Call me crazy, but we also got some family pictures. Coming soon..

(Never do that 4 days after having a baby!)

I feel so happy! Although having 2 kids (babies) has been a slight adjustment, and I am running on only a few short hours of sleep, I wouldn't trade it for anything! Thanks to my sweet husband, family, and friends for helping us get through week 1!

Sweet baby Cal made his entrance into this world earlier than expected. We couldn't be more thrilled to have our healthy baby boy here. I can't stop loving on him. His beautiful dark hair is to die for!

Big boy!

Little Kai turns 18 months today. I can't believe it. He is at such a fun stage. He loves to sing "3 Little Monkey's Jumping On The Bed," and the "ABC" song makes him laugh for some reason. His favorite toys are balls and books. He would eat 10 packs of fruit snacks a day if I let him. We are looking forward to nursery! This little man is a busy boy, and always on the go. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn. I can't believe he isn't going to be the baby anymore!

I know I am about to turn your world upside down, but it is going to be ok! I'm nervous too. We will figure this out together.

Today is all about you little buddy. I don't know what I would do without you.

I love being your mom!

Cali

We had an amazing trip to California with my family. We happened to catch a picture at the beach just as the sun was setting. It was beautiful. Spending our days in the sun and water made for a perfect vacation.

Bridger is always trying to make Kai laugh.

Dallin met Charles Barkley and got to have a picture as he was having drinks on the balcony of our Hotel.

He also scored a picture with Shaq right before they started shooting the t.v show Shaq VS. playing Charles Barkley in a round of golf. We got to see them film the beginning of the show, and it was fun to see how big that they really are.

Kai & Daddy at Laguna Beach

I loved watching Kai play at the beach. He played and played in the sand, but didn't really like the ocean waves chasing him up the shoreline.

Our sleeping beach baby

We celebrated this guys big birthday on our trip in Las Vegas with Camille and her kids at a water park. It was 105 degrees, and a perfect way to spend Dal's birthday.

Just keep swimming...

We have had a blast going to Ross Park this summer. Kai is a little fish and can't get enough of the water. He would have played ball with his daddy all day. I am so happy to see my little boy healthy and having fun. I am also LOVING the sunshine! We are trying to fit in as many fun things as we can this summer.

10 weeks until baby #2 arrives!
