Meeting Nolan Dean Hogrefe

Today Kohlston and I stopped by to meet baby Nolan Dean and see Anna & big sis Ava! He is so tiny and very handsome! Anna is doing wonderful. We love you guys and hope you enjoy your delicious dinner tonight. CONGRATS again on your perfect, little boy!

It's so hard to believe little Kohlston was this tiny just 10 months ago.
Soooo precious! Welcome to the world little man - you are blessed with a wonderful, loving family! Lucky you ;)

Miss Kailey Von!

These pictures say it all! Kai now has a true love for the water after these amazing swim lessons. Sadly Friday is our last day at Seal for this session but on a HAPPY note we just signed up for the June session and start back at Seal Swim next week! Ahhh! I could just squeeze you Miss Kai - we're so proud, words cannot express!

Reach and pull baby doll! That's our girl :)

Swimmer Bug!

GIVE ME A BIG HUG BECAUSE I SWIM LIKE A WATER BUG!

We are sooooooooooo very proud of you Miss Kailey :)

HIT PLAY to watch the amazing accomplishments of our little girl!

My girly cousins :)

Today after swim lessons (which by the way I ROCKED at:)) we stopped by to see Aunt Lindsay, Khloe & our new baby cousin Kacee who is 2 weeks old. We dropped off a yummy meal and popped in to say hi. Kacee is tiny and absolutely adorable :) Kai had a chance to hold her and welcome her to the world. Khloe even joined them for a quick shot! Love to my girly cousins :)

I'm not sure if Kai remembers Kohlston being this tiny!

Kohlston's Baptism

Last weekend we had little man Baptized! Thanks to our family, Pastor Curt Snare and St. Timothy for a wonderful service and celebration. The proud God Parents are Uncle Dan Katz (Daddy's brother) and Aunt Chanda Zirkelbach (Mommy's sister in law).

We LOVE you so very much Kohlston Von Katz.

Uncle Adam's visit!

Uncle Adam (Mommy's brother) was in town this past weekend from Honduras. It was such a blessing to have him here with us over Mother's Day weekend. We had so much fun playing with him. My favorite part was his non stop tickles :) Kohlston really took to him too! We learned some VERY exciting news too - he and Aunt Chanda are expecting their second baby this December and they will give birth back here in the states. We're so excited about the fabulous news and of course even more excited to be able to share the holidays with them when little one arrives this winter! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH and appreciate all that you do! Come back soon Uncle Adam :)

Uncle Adam brought back these COOL tree crayons made locally in Honduras! My cousin Caleb has some too :)

Here's Uncle Adam going crazy with the tickles - I couldn't get enough :)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys! Much love and stay safe while you're away in Honduras. We can't wait until you come back to the States again :)

Kacee Ann Katz has arrived!

This morning our Uncle Slim & Aunt Lolo gave birth to their new baby girl - KACEE ANN KATZ weighing 7lbs. 3 oz. and 19.5 inches long. Welcome to our family sweet girl - we can't wait to meet you this afternoon :) Congrats Khloe, on your baby sister. We love you!

Seal Swim School!

Yesterday Kai started lessons at Seal Swim School! She will go 3x a week (non-school days) for the whole month of May! There are 4 kids per instructor and they guarantee she will be able to swim 3-5 feet without any floating devices by the end of the 4th week. She'll learn to dive for rings and they will practice falling in with their clothes on and teach them how to turn around, grab the side of the pool and pull themselves out. VERY COOL!

Loading up and getting ready to leave!
Here's Kai with Miss Harley & Emily warming up with a few kicks.
Kai is practicing her kicks - KICK, KICK, KICK honey bunny!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY PRINCESS KAI!

~HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS KAI~

Kai turned 3 years old this past Sat. We celebrated by throwing a little party at our neighborhood park. Kai's wish was a Princess Castle Bounce House which worked out perfectly and was set up right next to the shelter. Daddy and the boys grilled hot dogs and Aunt Roxy & Uncle Larry brought Fried Chicken! Mmmmm - it was yummy! Check out little Miss in her TUTU :)

Just getting warmed up before my guests arrive!

Gigi T even brought little man Kohlston in to see what it was all about.
