Easter Weekend!

Easter weekend was jam packed with fun, family & friends! Here are a ton of pictures of all that we did. The first few are of Kai first thing Easter morning going through her Easter basket. She's holding up new princess ice packs for her school lunch bag - boy, was she excited!

Mr. Bunny also brought her a new green polo dress. Kai loves to dress up and changes her outfits atleast 3-4x a day :) It's cute but Mommy has quite a few things to hang up at the end of the day.
The Easter Bunny must have overheard us talking at Target about how Kai wanted an Ariel Barbie doll. This put a huge smile on her face.

Shortly after we headed outside to see what the Mr. Bunny hid in the back yard. Jammies and all - Kai threw on her crocs and out she went.

We don't have much candy in our house so Kailey was hyper at the 'thought' of endulging in this basket :)

We headed down to Terra Ceia Island (just an hour south of here) to Uncle Curty & Aunt Michelle's house for their annual Easter Egg Bash. Here's GrampZ, Kohlston, Luke, Uncle Curty & Peter Ben.

Luke, GrampZ & Kohlston

Luke and Kohlston loved each other! Until Kohlston shared his breakfast with Luke ;) Sorry about that dude!

Miss Kai was Chelsea's mini me. She just loves the big girls :) Chels - thanks for being such a wonderful big cousin to Kai.

Gigi Lynne, Kohlston (snack time) & Peter Ben hanging out.

Kai met a new little friend, Emily, from Aunt Michelle's side of the family. She was visiting from Iowa. These girls were hilarious together. Here they are enjoying some of their Easter candy together.

It was quite comical to see these little ladies hang out. Did I mention they both have Type A personalities and neither one wanted to let their other take charge. Here's Em putting her hand up at Kai. LOL - Kai didn't even realize what she was doing. Emily is almost a year to the day older than Kai.

They headed outside for yet another Easter Egg Hunt.

Keep looking girly!

Kai moved on over to the big kids section to see if she could find any more eggs!

Here are Daddy & Kai when we were out for pizza!

Little HAM enjoying everyone's company.

We also enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt at Generations Church - right down the street.

Our friends Jason & Baillie were there too.

We stopped for a family photo!

Kai enjoyed the bounce house! She has no fear - let me tell yah!

Get a load of this! She went back for more and loved the thrill :)

Miss Kai looks up to Baillie :) Can you tell?

Mommy & GrampZ

We took a stroll to our neighborhood park with Gigi. The weather was beautiful!

Kohlston LOVES the swings :) Check out this grin!

Kai's favorite is the slide and then the swings. She usually likes to lay on her belly :)

Mr. stiff legs - trying to get comfortable.

Miss Monkey on the monkey bars!

Silly snuggle time! GrampZ, Kai & Gigi relaxing and acting silly together.

Awwww! Kai loves you Mom :) Thanks for being so wonderful!

This one cracks me up :)

I wonder where Kai gets all of her facial expressions???

Cuba chilling with Gigi on the back porch.

GrampZ & little man loving on each other :)

I had to throw this one in there. We used to pull Kai around in diaper boxes and laundry baskets when she was little. Kohlston loved it!

We hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Our Wednesday!

Today was Kai's school picture day at Longleaf Learning Center. Even though she doesn't attend school on Wednesday's her teachers let us hang out for over an hour during class time until they were ready for her class photos. We were really excited because this is her first ever school photo and we didn't want to miss it. Kohlston and I were able to do circle time where they gather around the teachers and talk about the weather, what day of the week it is, counting days of the month etc... as well as singing, dancing and play time at the different stations. It was really fun to see what goes on during Kai's school day. Kailey spent time at the table doing crafts with some of her friends and Kohlston even had the opportunity to play with some of the toys and kids. Kai's classmates were wonderful to Kohlston and he really enjoyed the stimulation!!! Here's Kai making an Easter Egg with different color crate paper. She's so busy at work she wouldn't look up at the camera :)

Daddy, Kai's at the 'tool station'....funny huh!!! I wonder where she gets it from?! Hah! We love and miss you and can't wait until you come home!

Here's Kohlston trying to blend in with the big kids :)

This evening we headed next door to Kai's friends, Elianna, to swim in their salt water pool! Our's is still a bit chilly but Elianna's Mommy heated their pool and it was 80 degrees! Ahhhh! The kids were like fish :) Kai is starting Seal Swim School (thanks Gigi & Peepaw for my fabulous Birthday gift) in May and we're anxious to see how that goes. Hopefully our little fish will be swimming along (no floaties) soon!!!

Kohlston got his bath a little early so he's all bundled up in his PJ's and sat on the side line observing all the kids. Shall I say "Lifeguard Kohlston".

Kohlston - 9 Months Old!

Today we saw Dr. Alverez for Kohlston's 9 month appointment. He is developmentally right on track: uses a sippy cup, claps, sits, stands (almost walking), babbles, shakes his head back and forth and is overall a giggly HAPPY little guy :) He was pretty good with the Doc. Usually stranger anxiety kicks in about now so I was pretty impressed.

Height: 31 inches - off the charts

Weight - 21.85 lb.s - 73%

Head - 18 cm - 70%

WE LOVE YOU LITTLE BUBBA!

Our visit to see Mamaw Audry!

Today we stopped by to visit with Gram (a.k.a Mamaw). Little Miss Kai-Kai was so very excited to see her :) She was especially excited when Gram shared her chocolate - lol! Gram was in great spirits, seems very content and happy and was thrilled to see us (bless her heart). We'll be by again soon Gram - WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

Awwww :)

Kai-Kai the HAM!

We take A LOT of photos in this household as you can imagine with our blog! Lately Kai has decided she doesn't want to be photographed (unless she's in the mood). She's growing up on us - boo hoo :( :( It's bitter sweet to say the least. Anyhow, today I captured a few close ups of Kai "In The Mood" :) She's posing which cracks me up!! Ahhh - luv yah babe!

Oh!! I failed to mention she has her first ever 'school photo' coming up and that's what got us on the subject of posing. I tried to tell her not to stick her tongue out, or tilt her head or act silly etc....... too many rules I know - it's a Mommy's job. Only time will tell what it will turn out like. Surely, we'll posted it :) Stay tuned.....

Wagon Ride Weather!

Today was the perfect day for a Radio Flyer wagon ride! Kohlston was especially excited because it's his first time, that he remembers, riding in it. He couldn't get enough of the beautiful Florida breeze blowing through his fohawk! Kai was excited too because she was able to show lil bro the beauty of a 'walk through our neighborhood'. Here are a few shots of the little munchkins :)

Kikster, Bubs & Momma

This hair is 'all natural'!!! We luv it :)
