Teacher Appreciation

For teacher appreciation week at Kai's school next week, I was asked to decorate his teacher's door. I had big plans, but after hassling far too long with the cricut, I just ran out and bought die cut balloons, put a little curled ribbon on each one, cut out some letters, and voila...
I am sure it won't be the most impressive door at the school, but I am also sure the teacher's appreciate being appreciated. Mrs. Jensen is the bessst teacher ever, so we sure do appreciate her!

Ps. Kensi..I did do the cake, but since I changed my mind about doing more cricuting at 3am, I used it for Kodee's birthday. You can see it when I get around to that post...thanks girl!


Here is Kailer so proud.

Katie Beth had have a picture with the door too.

Kodee had a good time playing in all the lockers.

12 months

Oh my. I can not believe a whole year has gone by and my baby is having a birthday. Her first year went by way faster than how I remember the other two's. It's nuts. A year ago right now I was giving birth to my sweet little girl, it seems comprehensible that it has been that long and gone by so fast.
Kodee is amazing. She is so easy to love. She is just a perfect little girl. I love the way she says mama and the way she howls like a wolf, and her fake laugh when she wants attention. I love her chubby thighs and her tiny feet. I love that she loves her family and that she is happy and healthy. I am so grateful for KoKo. I can not imagine not having her in our family.
If only I could slow down this time thing that's going on..

Here is a picture of her and her hot daddy.

New Wheels

Kailer has "new wheels", no training wheels!! I just decided to take them off one day, grab the camera, and see what happened. He wouldn't even have fell if that darn scooter wasn't in the way. The video is of the very first time he rode with no training wheels. Now he can start by himself and hasn't fallen hardly at all. Way to go Kai-man!

11 months

Kodee is 11 months already...I am dreading the next month. I don't want her to turn 1 already. She is such a perfect baby. Kodee is so sweet and funny. Now she can:

~Say lots of sounds, but not mama. If I say mama, she says dada. How rude.
~Creep along all the furniture in the house, but no walking yet.
~Stand for periods of time without holding on to anything.
~Open lots of drawers and dump out all the contents.
~Stay really small...she is still a tiny little thing. Size 2 shoes are still too big for her, but she is in a 6-9 months now though!
~Grow a little hair. Not much, but I have noticed a little difference in the past month.
~Teethe! She has 6 teeth, 4 on the bottom, 2 on top. I think her other 2 on top are starting to want to come down too.
~Drink lots of sippy's of milk. I stopped nursing her, and she did great. She especially loves it when daddy adds a little Nesquik.
~Hang out with Kailer and Katie Beth, she tries to follow them around everywhere. They just run away laughing.
~Take 1 really long nap instead of 2. But she still sleeps 12 hours at night so I can't complain.
~Still suck on those fingers...she always has a rash on the left side of her face because she sucks her fingers to death when she is sleeping, and then lays in her drool all night.
