Kaelah Having a Party

We enjoyed the wonderful weather at some friends this afternoon.  The photos aren't the clearest, from my phone that is near death, but they are fun to see.    Kaelah learned to jump on the tramp for the first time (everybody jumped up and down nice and cautious ;-) ).  Her new sun hat is so big it looks like it is covering her entire head.


Kaelah took a big long nap while we ate the delicious BBQ.  When she woke up she decided to look for leftovers on the table.

The last few days brought a few firsts, she learned how to click her tongue off the roof of her mouth and does it incessantly when begging for something you are eating.  There is also a small debate going around the house about what was Kaelah's official first word.  She has been saying "Dad" for about a month now, but she doesn't seam to realize the meaning.   She has also started to say "Dog" when ever she sees Meigou (we even had this confirmed by an outsider :-) ).  So her first real word was not Mom or Dad or any derivative it was "Dog."  Meigou is very proud of herself. ~Danny (P.S. Thanks for the wonderful BBQ Dave & Sandy)

That BBQ looks very fun. Too bad it is chilly again, but that is Colorado for you, eh?

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
