9 months.

Kodee is 9 months old! That is so crazy to me. When we went to her check up, she was 27 inches, and weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds 4 ounces. So she is in the 38th percentile for her height, and only the 5th percentile for her weight. Doctor Smith said she is just a healthy little peanut. As long as at her 12 month appointment she is at least in the 5th percentile, we shouldn't be worried. It's so weird that she is so small, since we call her musha because we think she is fat. He he he.

Kodee loves to eat. She eats soooo much, another reason why it's so hard to believe that she is so small. She eats and eats. She loves for me to give her lots of finger foods so she can feed herself. She will only drink out of a sippy cup if I will hold her, she refuses to do it herself. Smart girl. ;)

She loves to talk back. She hasn't mastered any sounds yet, but she does do a lot of talking, and yelling!

She loves to laugh. She is a happy girl and is always in a good mood ready to play. She knows how to have a good time!

She loves her brother and sister, especially Kailer. She just lights up and smiles and starts bouncing when they walk by. She is still a mommy's girl, but she get's excited for daddy too. She has started some serious stranger anxiety lately too.

She is everywhere! I can't keep up with her! We have to be so so careful about what the kids laying around, especially in their rooms.

She pulls up on everything, and we just can't imagine her walking in a few months with those little peg legs. Then I know she will really give me a run for my money.

She is really interested in toys and how they work. She can entertain herself in her room for longer periods of time, and then she sneaks out and I have to run after her.

We love our little musha. What a sweet, perfect little baby you are KoKo.

Katie Beth's birthday!

Katie Beth's birthday was Jan 7th. She had a fun day and got lots of cool presents. Katie Beth is a beautiful little girl, and she is a drama mama. Katie Beth is super silly and makes the funniest faces and has the cutest expressions. She talks like she is a teenager, and thinks she is one most days. She has an attitude and is always into something. Even though she is wild, and makes us a little crazy, we still think she is a pretty cool kid, and we don't really mind having her around. ;) She is Kailer's best friend, and lately, daddy's little girl. She graduated out of nursery this year and is in junior primary now. She loves church and her teachers and friends there. She loves to eat. Everything. She loves tacos and she loves fruit. She loves to play games, and loves my little pony. Kay Bay has an amazing imagination, and talks to her self a lot. :) She still hasn't gotten her "first hair cut". So it is long and stringy, but I just haven't felt the need to do anything else with it. Katie Beth looks a lot like me, and pretty much is me. I think that is why she drives me nuts. Lately, she says really in every sentence. "I'm just hungry, really." She is just Katie Beth, and we love her.

Her My Little Pony Cake.

Privatization?

I am contemplating making my blog private. I have always hated the idea of private blogs, but I think I may give it a try. There are to many nosey/selfish/judgemental people in the world if you ask me. So, private here I come. Who knows, maybe in a week or two I may change my mind. Likely. If you haven't commented in the past few months, or ever, then I am assuming you don't read it. If you do...leave me your email address and I will send you an invite. If you could care less, then don't bother.

8 months

Wow! Time is flying by way too fast! 8 months is crazy. Kodee is amazing. She is so perfect. 8 months has brought lots of new tricks from musha...


She can finally sit up with out help and with out holding her self up with her arm. Finally.


She is pulling up on everything, and has almost mastered getting back down. She has taken a few steps, creepin along the couch, but mostly she just stands there and bounces. She is a busy body and is always crawling around getting into something.


She has 2 bottom teeth. 2 more are on the way. She hasn't been too bad of a teether. She gets a low grade fever and gets a little grumpy, but don't we all?


She is so small. She has grown, I can tell by her clothes, but she is so petite compared to our other two kids.


She laughs a lot. I love it.


She sleeps 13 hours throught the night. Her naps are shorter and less frequent now but I really can't complain.


She eats more that her weight every day. Seriously the girl can chow.


She loves playing with her brother and sister in her room. They don't mind either.


She has graduated out of the baby bath. Now I can put just a little water in the tub and she can sit and play or crawl around.

You can just barely see her first tooth here.

Sweet Musha.

7 years

Brian and I had our 7th anniversary on the 27th. It wasn't too much of a celebration since it was on a Sunday, but we had a nice dinner and were able to spend time together. I am so grateful for my eternal marriage. I am so blessed to be a part of a wonderful marriage. We are both so far from perfect but I think we are perfect for each other. I love you Bri!

Last year I posted the story of the day we met. It is here...
http://kisforkrystal.blogspot.com/2009/01/6-years.html
I will continue the story a little every year and hopefully by the time we are celebrating our 50th, we will have our story on paper. I should have done this long ago, I am sure I am leaving out lots of details..oh well.

So after we met that first day, me and one of my roommates, Tabby, went to his apartment to drop of his jacket. He invited both of us over for breakfast the next morning. He made us a big breakfast with homemade strawberry syrup. yum! I didn't hear from him for a few days, so I thought maybe he liked me as a friend, but not really anything more. Really he thought I would never go for him. One day I was over at another boys apartment and my roommate, Mandi came over and said. "Brian is at our apartment, and I know he totally likes you, so you have to get over there now, c'mon!" The girls had been telling me that he had called and came by and he really hadn't, just to pick on me. So I told her if she was lieing I would kill her. We walked over and he was there for real. He just said he had to run to Broulim's really fast and wondered if I wanted to tag along. He had been working a lot and didn't really have time for anything, but really wanted to see me again. I went with him and then we we got back to his apartment, he started putting away his groceries. It was so random that my skin was crawling, so I completely reorganized his kitchen while he got ready for work. We he took me home, he asked me on a date to Johnny Carino's the next night. The next day, he picked me up from class and we drove to Idaho Falls. I actually paid for dinner because I had a gift card to there and I thought it was dumb to have him pay money, when I could just use the gift card I had sitting in my wallet for so long. After we went to the mall to walk off our lunch. I remember we went to American Eagle and I helped him pick out 2 shirts. On the way out of the mall, I grabbed his hand and we held hands on the drive home. I kissed him that night too. ;)

Here are a few pics of our wedding. I have tons more, but they are all scrapbooked and I don't want to take to time to scan them in. I hurried and did these a while ago, so they aren't the best, but whatever.
