A brush with death!

Poor little Kai Kai got his first real goose egg bonk! Kelly never really got any goose eggs (knock on wood!!!) Cassie is packing up her house to move and is sorting everything for me to take while she is gone and she was nice enough to set out a little (Like less then 2 feet tall) slide. Well turns out Kai doesn't know that you have to go down on your butt and not face first. His little forehead (OK, OK big forehead) and nose really got it...

Easter and 15 months

Yes I know it has been a while... Kai is now 15 months! It it crazy how fast the time has gone by. at his appointment he only weighed 24 lbs which is only the 40th percentile. I have a really hard time keeping weight on my kids once I stop nursing. he measured 33 inches tall which is the 88th percentile. The doctor said it is fine that he is losing weight as long as he is getting the right nutrition and it stops happening so I'm not really worried about it. Kai doesn't talk he only says ba which means, ball, bread, book, bite, banana, you know anything that starts with a B. :) He will occasionally spit out a mama or papa but not very often. He is a really funny kid and he loves to tease Kelly. He is a climber and that is a new challenge for me! It drives me crazy he can get on anything! He loves balls, outside, the tramp, kisses, and bows. Yes he loves to wear Kelly's bows and I love to let him!



Easter
This Easter was much more fun the last... I think it will just get better every year as the kids get older. Last Easter Kelly just cried and wouldn't touch the eggs (She is afraid of EVERYTHING) But this year both the kids were running to get the eggs and fill there baskets. On Saturday we went and had and egg hunt with Montell and her family and then Sunday we went to my Grandma's for dinner. I love all my family get-togethers and spending time with them!

Kelly's 1st hair cut!

I noticed that Kelly's hair was getting long and straggly and realized I have never cut it so I decided it was time. I was always to cheap to pay to get my hair cut growing up (All of you have probably cut my hair a time or two!) and well the same goes for Kelly I guess! So I decided I would give it a try! I really need to know how to cut a boys hair because Kai is way over due! I cut a couple inches off the top once but now it is getting long!

Happy Birthday Kai!

Our little boy is getting so big! Kai's turned 1 on the 5th and Tika's parents were in town so they made sure he celebrated in style. We had a huge birthday / New Years Party at the church. Kai is such a joy to our family! He is a sensitive little one! I'm not much for words so here is pictures from the last year!
****I just wanted to give credit where credit was due, Cassie is the best big sister when it comes to pictures! We make the perfect team I can snap a shot she can make a kid smile no matter the situation! I just wanted to thank YOU for making the best candid shots! ****













Grandma and Grandpa spoiled my kids this trip!

Happy Birthday Tika!

Tika was born on December 15, 1984. His parents were taking a short trip to American Samoa when Tika decided to come 6 weeks early. Tika was a health happy 5lb 13oz baby boy. His parents were able to fly him back to Fiji when he was just 1 day old. His birth certificate actually says "Please take this for a real birth certificate" (Yeah it's been fun whenever we have to turn it in for something). Tika only lived in Fiji until he was 2 years old when his family moved to Utah. He lived in Salt Lake from 2-6 years old. His family then made the big move to Guam. While in Guam Tika lived a very simple life, at one point they were without electricity for 2 week due to a typhoon that hit the island. When he was 11 he moved back to Utah. Tika played Varsity basketball team all 4 years of high school, he also earned his Eagle Scout. Tika got his associates while attending Salt Lake Community College on a Basketball Scholarship. We then made the big move back to Orem where Tika played 1 year at UVSC and got his bachelors in Community Health. We then moved to Wyoming were Tika sold cars but was away from his family too much so we decided it best to yet again make the move back to Orem. Tika has been looking for a job for the last 3 months and is happy to announce that he was offered a job with Enterprise Rent a Car in the management training program. Hopefully in about a year he will be promoted to assistant manager and from there the sky is the limit. In October Enterprise was included in the top 50 places to launch a career so we are very excited about this opportunity. All of these experiences have helped Tika become the man he is today. He is a wonderful father and husband. I have been able to celebrate 7 birthdays with Tika so far and I look forward to many more! Happy Birthday and I LOVE YOU!
