10 months...almost summer!!!

This little bit of sunshine is growing like a weed!!!

She is getting so very tall and loves to pull herself up on everything. She will be walking in no time!!!!

I just can't believe that she will be a year old in just 2 months. I love all the time I get to spend with her. What a lucky momma I am.

Even though Kadi hardly ever naps since she has been teething I do find time once in a great while to work on projects that I want for the house. 

This is one of the many I have been thinking about lately.

I found this on pinterest and I have so many new recipes I want to try. I keeps us a little more focused on eating at home instead of eating out. 

Gotta try to keep the doctor man healthy.

So here are just a few of the month pictures before we left for a trip this month.

So this year was a big moment in time...I turned 30 this year!!!!!

I only had ONE request this year...

All I wanted was to rent a Camaro and drive it for a day.

Travis is such a fun and amazing husband that spoils me as much as he can. I'm so lucky!! So we went down rented the car and then drove to the Cincinnati Zoo, spent the day there. Then we drove the car back so we could show off to friends. I was SO very HAPPY. The only problem is that now I want to own one...uh oh!!

Happy Momma!

The end of the month we headed to California to see me baby brother Joshua's HS graduation. 

(can't believe it)

Travis and Kadi on the plane.

I LOVE this picture...I hope they get to do this again when my brother comes home from his mission. It will be neat to see how big she gets.

We also got to go with the HS on their senior trip to Six Flags Animal Kingdom.

Travis hadn't ever gone and so it was to share it with him all my childhood memories and to share it with my daughter.

One happy grandma...

I think we wore them out...hehehe

Then we headed to Folsom Lake.

Just like her daddy...she loves the water. I hope we get to live near water eventually so she can experience it the same with as her daddy.

This picture is precious to me...she loves her daddy.

The trip didn't end here...lots more pictures to come.

Blackmail time....this is my baby brother Joshua. The last activity we had before Kadi and I went home. My dad wasn't happy I put his hair in pigtails!!

Loves the USO in Denver. Lots of fun toys we enjoyed.

It was a very very very long trip to California but we are home and happy!

The big girl LOVES the fact she can sit in the cart like a big kid!!!

Good morning World!!!

Diva Time!!

So our ward in Dayton had a baby explosion in 2012. Over 16 babies were born and mostly girls. So we thought it would be fun to take a group picture. Can you find Kadi?

*And that isn't all the baby girls*

Beautiful dress from Grandma Judy. And yes I'm a little narcotic, I typically match Kadi on Sundays. 

Nice Sunday afternoon walk with a nap. 

Don't you wish you could sleep that easily.

First love of balls!!!

SWINGS with Daddy!!!

BUBBLES!!!!

8 Months...A busy month!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

~Love Kadi

This month was INSANE!!! We got a little bit of snow for March but it never stayed this year. Kinda sad cause I was excited to show Kadi snow. But at the end of the month it was time to leave the cold midwest and head to Cali for a wedding! Guess Who's....Jessica's!!! Yep, she finally got married...fun times.

But before we get into those pictures just some fun pics from before Kadi and I left.

 All snuggled up nice and warm...

 

 Trying out a new friend's rocking horse. Kadi hasn't sat on one yet...she loved it.

 We don't spoil our little princess at all....ok maybe a little. At least we get her things she enjoys and can use for a while. She LOVES this jumper/bouncer/whatever its called. She'll sit there for awhile and bounce and play while a get stuff done, it's AWESOME.

 I told you it hasn't snowed. It's still a little chilly so we stay bundled. But hey we're back out on our walks.

 Daddy sent this to me while he was getting Kadi ready for bed...I think I was at a church meeting. I love the daddy/daughter relationship they have.

 So one of the new Pediatric Interns starting this July has moved with his wife and sweet daughter just down the road. Their little girl Tayvia is only a week younger than Kadi and as soon as these two met they have been inseparable. They hold hands, play awesome together, share toys and even reach for each other. It's awesome cause their LDS and in our ward and the girls can grow and play together as we finish our residency. So excited to watch this friendship grow.

Okay now for the big trip....Kadi and I flew out on our own because Travis was in the PICU and obviously couldn't take time off. So off we flew on our own....Kadi did really well considering it was just me and her. We were there for a week. It was hectic, draining, frustrating, some fun, and adventure. Needless to say I am glad it's over but miss my family. 

 Kadi was teething again, getting those top 2 teeth. Mom helped me find something to help her relax. We were so happy that we finally got her to relax and nap. She was much happier after that.

Just a few pics of our adventures playing at grandma's... 

 And then the Saturday before Easter Jessica married Scott Harris for time and ALL eternity at the Sacramento temple. She looked beautiful in the custom dress mom made and designed for her.

 

 Mother and second daughter married. Only 2 more kids to get out of the house and married in the next...oh...10 yrs!

 Kadi and I with her 2 aunts. (No pics of my family in front of the temple...I have no comment)

 Believe it or not I am the oldest and shortest of all 4 kids...kind of depressing.

 The next day was Kadi's FIRST Easter. So we had a photo shoot...I have to say I have one GORGEOUS baby girl!!!! 

 It was a fun trip overall. No we weren't excited for the wedding, no it wasn't a happy affair, and no I have no good opinion of my new brother in law.

Oh well, hopefully my sister is happy and the marriage is a happy one.

That said I am glad we got to see my family and wish that Travis was there to spend time with family as well.
