Water Babies

Kiersten went swimming for the first time this weekend. She looked so adorable in her swimsuit. She seemed to enjoy it. Aidan loves it too. Better to splash around in the pool instead of soaking the bathroom from swimming in the bathtub.

Happy 1/3 Birthday!

I can't believe baby girl is already four months old. I finally remembered to take pictures of her on her actual month birthdate (which has not happened since month 1) even though she was already in her jammies ready for bed. Poor second child. She has really turned into a happy baby. She still is not a good sleeper yet but we are getting closer. At her doctor's check-up she was just over 13 pounds and 23.5 inches long. She is our little peanut.

Kiersten and I played hair salon the other night while the boys were busy. I think I am going to need some lessons when we get a little more hair to work with but she cooperates with me and enjoys the attention. Here are her beauty shots...

And here is how she wakes up in the morning. That is one bad case of 'bed head'.

She also tried rice cereal for the first time. She was not a fan but who could balme her?

Kiersten's First Day of School

Look at this big girl on her very first day of school. I went back to teaching at the preschool today, so Kiersten now gets to come along. She is in a newborn class with 4 other babies and she seemed to have a great day. Her schedule said they worked on shapes and colors and had chapel & music time. I peeked in on her during the day and she was happily playing on the floor.

Happy 2010!!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!

Here are our party animals at the stroke of 8:00pm. We celebrated a bit early this year at our house with some good friends. Aidan made both his & Kiersten's hat.

Bowling

The day after Christmas, the whole family went bowling. Once we convinced Aidan to put on the 'special shoes' he was ready to go.

We also played some skee-ball and basketball

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a very, merry Christmas. Here is some of what went on at our house...

Go Stars

Monday night, we went to see the Stars play. It was Kiersten's first Stars game and she was decked out in her fan gear along with the rest of the family. We even got to be on the big scoreboard during warm-ups. She really didn't pay much attention to the ice because she was so distracted by all the scoreboards & lights. Watching warm-ups Hey Modano...

Aidan went to his first game about the same age Kiersten is now. Here he is in October 2006.
