Toys, Clothes, and Family

Christmas was so much fun! We spent it with the Anderson family this year. Bart, Emily, Ryan, Steph, and Jess are probably sick of hearing how cute Kate and Ryan are, but it's true! They played and smiled and laughed and rolled! It was so much fun! We had yummy food, played games, and opened gifts. Thanks mom and dad! We had tons of fun! These are just a few fun pictures. Isn't her new coat so cozy?! Oh and adorable!

My new pants!

This little girl gets cuter every day it seems! These are her new pants from Grandma Anderson. Aren't they so cute! She looks like a little farmer girl!

Birthdays, Rice Cereal, Thanksgiving and more!...

Here are a few fun pictures with the 'babies' in the family. Aren't they so cute! Poor little William was tired and such a good sport. Isn't the size difference so fun?! There is only 4 1/2 months between the three of these babies! We had such a fun time with family this weekend! Oh and aren't Emily and Vivian the prettiest princess' you have ever seen!

Mommy had a birthday and so did baby Kate. She is 3 months old now! Such a cutie and so much fun! We love her. We decided to try rice cereal the other day, just to see how she would like it. Well she loved it! It was really cute and lots of fun to watch her attempt eating something other than milk!

New toy and 12 weeks old!

This sweet little girl is 12 weeks old! Wow! We can hardly believe how fast time is going. She is growing so fast and is such a joy! She is starting to grab at things and loves to eat her fingers! We decided to get her a new toy... this cute Mobile! It is so fun. She loves to watch the little bugs go round and round. It has 4 different musical numbers and a light in the center for night time. It is really fun and she is loving it. What a sweet, happy, perfect little girl. We totally love being parents!

California Trip!!

Last week we went to Fullerton, CA. It was so much fun! We decided to fly instead of drive 18 hours in a car with a 2 month old baby! Definitely the best choice! Kate was perfect! She did really well on the flight and slept through both nights without making a peep! She was great. We were able to go to the beach, eat some fresh seafood tacos, experience In-and-Out Burgers, YUM, and enjoy a beautiful sealing in the Newport Beach temple. Steve had a companion that we are good friends with that got married. The weather was perfect and the traffic wasn't too bad either. It was so much fun and next time we'll go back and enjoy Disneyland! Thanks Gray family. We had a blast!

2 Months Old!

Kate is 2 months old! We can hardly believe it! She is so sweet. We took her for her 2 month check-up and she is as healthy as can be! She just smiled and cooed at the Dr the whole time he did her exam! She is 24 inches long and weighs 11 lbs 12.5 oz! She is growing just like she should be and is perfect! Then came the yucky shots! She was smiling and then... WAAAAA!! She let out a good scream but by the time the band-aids were on, she was smiling again! She is such a good baby! We love her. Happy 2 months Kate!

Pumpkin Carving!

This last Monday night, my family got together and had our 2nd annual pumpkin carving extravaganza! It was so much fun! First we had a delicious dinner, with homemade rolls, and then the carving began! Aaron and Carolyn carved an old witch, Steph and Jess a haunted house, and Steve and I carved a BOO and a haunted house! It was so much fun! Thanks for the fun evening!

Logan trip take 2

So... This is the car seat cover that I made for baby Brigham! Isn't it so cute! Emily helped me a ton but it was lots of fun and Michelle and baby Brigham will get lots of use out of it! Thanks again Em!

Trip to Logan!

Yesterday we took a day trip to Logan! It was so much fun! The fall leaves were so beautiful, Kate was happy and good, and we got to spend time with family. First we stopped at Bart and Em's. We had delicious homemade burritos and then let the little ones play while Em and I headed to Hobby Lobby! The boys also were able to check out a fishing spot! It was tons of fun! Thanks for all the help with the craft project Em, more to come on that! Then we went over to Brian and Kelly's. That was also a treat. Sam showed us all of his awesome karate moves and Viv dazzled us with her "black boots". Thanks for the fun day family! We love you!

Lately...

We had our great neighbors Jim and Kari over for French Dip the other night. They are so great and have been so good to us since having Kate. Thanks a bunch. This is Steve and Jim watching some funny video on Steve's iTouch!

Kate is growing so much and so fast! We bought her this adorable little jacket for super cheap and it is 6 months! She looked so cute, we just had to take a picture.

Sleeping through the Night!

Okay so we have had a couple of great nights this week. Kate has slept through the night twice this week. We are so thrilled. I have been working really hard at helping her get on a schedule and although it isn't perfect or the same every day, she is doing so well... in fact sleeping through the night. When she doesn't sleep through the night, she only wakes up for one feeding and then goes right back to sleep. She is such a sweet baby and we love her!

6 Weeks Old!

So we can hardly believe that it has been 6 whole weeks! She is a growing girl and we love her dearly! She is starting to smile at us and it is so cute! Sleep deprivation is totally worth it for those smiles!

Close...so close!

This is an attempt at capturing her sweet little smile... almost there little girl!

Look how beautiful!

This baby is so beautiful. I know, I know, we are totally biased, but just look at this adorable picture! Aunt Carolyn took some pictures of Kate about 2 weeks ago and this is a 'sneak peak' of what is to come! Thanks a ton Auntie!

1 MONTH OLD

My first Video!!!

She's growing and is so much FUN!

This little girl is super strong! A comment was made about how strong of a head and neck she has at her 2 week appointment and the Dr readily agreed, so this morning I said something like, "Mommy sure thinks you have a strong neck and would look so cute in your be'be' pod, but we'll wait until you are a little older!" Well Daddy heard me say that and came out of the nursery with the little chair! Isn't she so cute! We love her so much and she is changing every day! Who knew being parents would be so much fun and so rewarding!
We went to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's on Sunday and put Kate on the floor on a blanket, just to hang out, and this is what happened. She didn't get much "hang-out"time! As soon as we laid her down, she had visitors! We love you Grandma and Grandpa!!

So we moved her to her BIG crib. She looks so cute and tiny when she's sleeping in her crib!
Look at her cute little smirk! This was about a week ago! Just hanging out with her daddy! They are pretty cute together. He loves his little girl.

5 Days Old and Adorable!!

She is such a beautiful and sweet baby! We love her, and thanks for the cute outfit Auntie Amy! Love you!

She's Here!!

We are so excited to have baby Kate here! She is so precious and just perfect! It was a long day and delivery, but we are so pleased with how well everything went. She was born at 4:58pm and weighed in at 6 lbs 13 ounces and is 21 inches long! She is just perfect! We love her and are so excited to be parents! Hooray!!
