Happy Birthday Kaida

Kaida turned one on March 23rd. She hated her birthday cake. She cried and screamed when she tasted her cake. She didn't care abour opening her presents. Pretty much she disliked the whole day. Hopefully next year will be better.




Ridlee and Kaida had a good time bowling with friends.




We also made 2 trips to Jackson in March. We went on a sliegh ride to see the Elk and we went to the Snowmachine Hill Climbs.




Ridlee is also taking a tumbling class

March already!!!!

Wow time has flown. Kaida will be one in 2 weeks! I can't believe my baby will be one. Kaida goes, and goes, and goes. She started taking steps in January and now she walks across the room. She will chase Ridlee around the house. It super cute. The girls love to play together which is nice most of the time.

I finally got my photography website up and going this week. I'm nervous but excited to start my business. I love taking pictures. So this should be the funnest job i've had. my website is www.wildlilyphotography.com

Ridlee's Dance Photos

Ridlee loves her dance outfit and loves to dance. Here are a few I took today.

Haiti, Jamaica, florida vacation

Me and Travis enjoyed a wonderful 9 day vacation childless. We went on a cruise where we met some awesome people. Haiti was gorgeous. The people were very pushy to get us to buy stuff. You could see the desperation in their eyes. It was sad. A few times the police had to yell at them to back off.
Jamaica was interesting. We got a private walking tour from some crazy Jamaican guy. It was very poverish and the taxi drivers beg and try to push you into their cabs. We saw some guy peeing right on the side of street not caring that lots of people could see him. The shop people were a lot nicer than in Haiti. We got a lot better deals. Maybe because all the jamaicans were smoking weed they were more chill.
On the boat we saw some funny shows and competitions. I won the Miss Bicep competition and my team won the Qwest game show. It was a lot of fun. We are defiently going on another cruise.
While we were gone Kaida had mastered crawling the correct way. She also started saying "momma". It's so cute.

Hello New Year and it's about time I added to my blog. I started another blog for my photography (www.wildlilyphotography.blogspot.com) but I haven't put very many pictures on there and the set up bugs me. So hopefully I can get that fixed soon.

Kaida started crawling. It's more of a swim across the floor but it's cute. She likes to pull herself up to things. She might walk before she learns the real way to crawl. Kaida is still small weighing in at 15.8 pounds putting her in the 4th percentile. I like my little runt, it's easier to carry to her around.

Ridlee continues to go to preschool and dance. She loves them both a lot. She is my little perfectionist. She has to color inside the lines and tape every little rip on a page.

We are looking forward to our cruise this month. We are going to florida, Haiti and Jamaica. It will be nice to get away from the kids and the cold. Relaxation and quiet here I come!!!

I can't believe it is already December! I can't believe how busy I am raising 2 little (always needing attention) girls. I am very far behind with blogging and uploading pictures. Hopefully I will get that done before the mass of Christmas Day pictures I will take. I have started getting into professional photography. I really enjoy it (when I get the time). I have been taking classing and doing model shoots. I got a studio set up in my basement. I can't wait til my girls will actually let me take pictures and edit them. I will post pictures soon (I hope).

October

Ridlee turned 3 this month. I can't believe she is that old. She loves preschool and wants to go everyday. I love all the funny things she says. When we put her to bed the other night she yells through her door "It is not ok to put me to bed" so funny. We took the girls to Boo at the Zoo. Ridlee had a great time. Ridlee also started taking Dance. She does so good and follows the teacher very well. I was shocked and impressed. She likes to show people her dance moves.

Random pictures

Kaida is 6 months!

I can't believe Kaida is already 6 months. She is 13lbs 11oz and 26 inches. She loves watching her big sister. It is so cute to watch her hold her own bottle. But when she drops it, she is extremely mad.
We went to Utah for my cousin Monty's wedding. Ridlee was so cute she was commentating the wedding ceremony. When the bride walked down the isle she said "Look, Monty married a princess." The first time Kaida ate baby food Ridlee fed it to her. They both did so good. Love my girls!

The girls

I took these pictures of the girls the other day. Ridlee had a lot of fun even though in the one picture she looks so bored.

August

August has been a very busy month. Kaida turned 5 months old. We had 2 family reunions. And it feels like we are always on the go.

Family picture at Blast Off

Kaida's sad face. This is what we see a lot.

The girls. Ridlee loves to hold her sister.

Kaida is 4 months old!

I can't believe Kaida is already 4 months old. She is starting to get out of her colicky stage and laughing when we play with her. She thinks Ridlee is hilarious. Kaida is now 24 inches long and 11.7 lbs. Tall and skinny little thing.
We have enjoyed watching the Blue Angels for the past 5 days. They flew right over our house. Ridlee did not like the noise or the house vibrating. She did look at one that flew right about us and said "look mom is has sparkles!"
We also went to a condo in Ogden and went swimming everyday with Kyler and Brandy. Ridlee had a blast.

4th of July

The 4th was fun. Ridlee is still afraid of fireworks. She liked the big ones at the river for a little while. I think the noise it what she hates the most. Ridlee loved getting candy at the parade.
