Katy 'n Santa Meet Officially for the First Time. :-)

My little girl met Santa last week. She had seen him and observed other kids sitting on his lap, but she let her Daddy know she was ready, and what a great Kodak moment! We finally got our xmas card shot! She is truly our little Xmas Angel. We are so blessed.

Gettin' Ready for the Holidays 2009

Katy and her Daddy went a-huntin' fer that perfect tree! She was running all over the mountain searching. A girl with a mission! Her favorite tree ornament, (of course!) is the soccer ball. Well, she does like the golden heart as well. :-) So far, she has only tried to pull the red garland off the tree, but then again, it's only been a couple days....LOL

Summer 2009- Katy turns 2!

Katy and her Mom and Dad met with friends Stacey and Mark and theirs kids Austin and Ryleigh for a couple days of camping in Mendocino. We went for Katy's first Hay-Ride. :-)

Katy and her friends Mia and Tyler were swinging it up on the tire-swing at Ashton Park last week with Daddy. Mommy was at work feeling sorry for herself. Boo hoo.

Katy celebrated the big 2 with her family in Bigfork. Cousin Kylie sure was a great helper with the party decorations. Katy even blew out her birthday candles all by herself!

Ballet for Katy.

Katy started ballet/gymnastics at the local Parks & Rec. She LOVES it and her Daddy caught a few choice pix for you to enjoy. :-)

Katy is now the Breadwinner of the family!

So Katy is at Waffle Barn w/ her Daddy and starts flirting with the CHP. Soon enough, there she is joy-riding around the town. Since the CHP is hiring, they offered her an internship, so we will now have 3 incomes! Alaska-cruise; here we come!

Kate's 2nd Easter

Happy Easter! Kate looked so girly today in her pink and white duds! She was so excited when the firetruck horns blasted to signal the start of the egg hunt, that she dropped her basket and ran all around the field watching all the kids scrambling around to collect all their goodies. She was so jazzed by the whole thing. We managed to sneak a couple eggs into her basket so she'd have something for later, and turns out there was a little blow up ball which was perfect; she proceeded to show off her soccer skills for all to watch! Then we grabbed out money shot with the Easter B. Very cute, if not a bit freakish. LOL! :-)

Gramma's Special Visit

Gramma came to visit us this Spring Break. We went to the zoo, and the playground, and the tulip park, and we planted flowers and played all day long! It was soooooo awesome! I love Gam soooooo much! ;-)

Katy enjoying those negative ions. Thanks to Stacey and Ryleigh for the Kodak moment. :-)

Kate goes to Carmel!!!

We finally got out of town and found ourselves in beautiful Carmel-by-the-sea.... Stacey, Austin, and Ryleigh took Kate to the Children's Museum and to the beach where Kate exclaimed...."WOW!!!" We had a super fun time!

Winter in Carmichael

Kate is getting ready for gardening this year. She also loves to slide and swing. We got to the school playground, the nearby park, and sometimes even to Fairy Tale Town. :-)

White Christmas!

Kate and Kylie are stylin'!
Cousin Ryan wanted to hold the baby!

Holiday Action Shot; runnin' like the wind!

Christmas 2008 was celebrated on the 26th with the family in Montana. We enjoyed a very white christmas, lots of turkey and other yummies. Kate's little tummy was very happy, as you can see! Cousin Kylie and Kate wore matchin' duds from Auntie Mary Wallace. More pictures soon. :-)
