Happy Birthday!

So it's been forever & I haven't forgotten... just run out of time in the days!

Meme took this video & it's just too cute to not share!

Happy 18 months! (& A trip to New York)

 Katie & I traveled up to NY in the beginning of October & as you can imagine, many of the family were more than happy to snuggle...

We also took a trip out to see more of her favorite animal.  (Remember this post from February?)

 

 We went to the beach, where it was fairly chilly, but that didn't stop Katie from sticking her toes (and her bum!) in the water.




Now this is some great beach hair

And of course, she loved the sand.

And what trip to the beach would be complete without ice cream.

While we were there, we decided to visit JC Pennys to take her 18 month pictures.  This is why you pay people to do these things.  She was MISERABLE the whole time we were there, but somehow, it's very hard to tell!

P.S. Check out them boots.

 

 After the visit for pictures, we decided to make her day better with another trip to the beach.  We got a few good shots there as well.

 

 

Happy 17 months!

Ok, so Katie is actually 20 months by now, but I'm still playing catch up!

Katie LOVED the water this summer. We went to Ocean City Maryland with my Dad & family & Katie loved the pool.

Though, she also loved the safe...

And the phone....

Katie will smell every flower she walks by. It's really quite cute.

Here are Katie's 17 month pictures.

Not often can I get a posed picture!

She loves to carry things. So often she will pick up something she could push (like the lawnmower)

Daddy got a tractor & took Katie for a ride. yes, she has hearing protection. Actually, when you say "tractor" Katie says "vroom, vroom" & covers her ears!

 

 

Video bomb

So, as with the photos, I have a lot of videos that I kept meaning to post....

Katie go a book with those buttons that you push for sounds. One is a zookeeper who whistles, so Katie has learned to "whistle"

Katie takes quite an interest in our magazines. She has a Cabelas hard cover catalog that she looks at everyday & in my magazines, she looks for

Some more (summer) photos...

Here are some more pictures I never got around to posting....



Katie "helping" water the flowers (you'll notice she also "watered" herself)

Here's a video of Katie laughing hysterically over me trying to catch a fly...

Photo bomb

Well, you all can thank Katie's Aunt Jane for pointing out that there hasn't been pics for a while.... Hopefully I can be better now that we're somewhat settled in our house.

So... Here's a photo bomb! (Starting from around June...)

Katie is quite the hoarder. She will often pick up everything she can possibly carry & then bring it all around the house. These animals have gotten quite a lot of use, they were decorations at the shower!

Katie's first pigtails... We like them better dry, but you gotta show the first ones! More to come.



Katie love sitting in things & in our old house, our paper recycling box was by FAR the best toy in the house. In the new hose, she's not too interested....

A picture from 4th of July

Daddy & Katie got matching Boise State shirts... Go Broncos!

Practicing football...

One of my very favorite pictures!

 

I'll post more in the next couple weeks!

Happy 18 Months!

I know, it's been forever & I do have pictures for months 15, 16 & 17 (wow... It has been a while) BUT here's something to hold you over.

 

We got her pictures taken at JC Penny today - she really is getting big :)
