UFC Night

      Kieley loves playing with Brady and Krista. :)
             Family picture.. I need a tan! :)
                  Our friends Bill and Chris.

Every month we go to our friends, Jared and Wendy, for UFC (Ultimate Fighting Challenge) night.  I won't let Kieley watch it because it's still hard for me to watch at times but it's fun to get together with our good friends. :)

Kieley's Blessing Day!

Some of you have been asking to see Kieley's blessing dress so here is the best picture I could find to show you. :)  We blessed our little princess on March 2, 2008.  

Yummy!

It's official!  She finally figured out how to get those cute little toes in her mouth!  Tuesday night Aaron and I were giving Kieley her bath and she started playing with her feet like she usually does but then we noticed her foot getting closer and closer to her mouth and in they went... she immediately started sucking on her big toe.  It was too cute!  We started to laugh and so did she it was quite funny.  

She started playing with her feet when she was around 4 months so i was wondering when she was going to find her toes to suck on because she LOVES sucking her fingers. :)

It's hard to believe our little girl is 5 months old today!  Where has the time gone?  She has brought so much joy into our lives.. we are having so much fun watching her grow.  We love you Kieley!!

Snowgirl!

                          Licking her snow suit!

                             Half smile/Half laugh!

In honor of one of Milwaukee's snowiest (if that's a word) winters on record I decided I would dress Kieley in her adorable snow suite my Mom bought for her when she was born.  

I remember driving home from the hospital with our new baby girl in one of our many snow storms this past winter thinking, "I hope this is one of our last blizzards", wishful thinking.  

Since Kieley was so little when she was born she never grew into it in time to use this winter but I thought it was too cute not to get pictures of her wearing it. :)  Thank you Mom!

Uncle Darin loves Wisconsin!

My partner in crime.. shopping in Chicago! :)
                                  So sweet!
                         Look what Kieley found!?!
Uncle Darin and Kieley inside Nordstrom cafe.
                         Beautiful baby girl!
                     Uncle Darin arrived! YAY!
Kieley absolutely loves her Uncle.. she would just lay with him and chill everywhere.
                               EVERYWHERE!
      I LOVE her smile.. sweet baby girl!  

We love having visitors and we were so lucky Uncle Darin came to visit us last month.  He use to visits us because we live near Chicago, one of his favorite cities, but now baby Kieley is our secret weapon to get him to come to Wisconsin.  Here are some pictures of highlights from his trip.  Thanks Uncle Darin come again soon!!

Road Trip

This was at the end of our trip.. Kieley was tired!!!
Our new GPS (Helen) took us on some very interesting routes.  We even got to take a ferry ride across one of the many lakes in Wisconsin. FUN, FUN! ;)
                         Almost ready to sit-up!
Kieley loves to play with her feet.  It amazes me how flexible she is!
I turned around for one second and she had pulled the blanket from behind her head over her face..silly girl!
I would leave to go visit my branches and when I returned to the hotel I would find Kieley snuggled up against her dad chillin.  She is definitely a Daddy's girl!!
Kieley slept most the time we were on the road.
Kieley loved going out to restaurants.  She observed EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY!
                    Ready to go!  Such a happy girl!

We took our first road trip across Wisconsin for my work last week.  Kieley did awesome!  She is such an amazing little girl.  I was so worried that she would be unhappy and give us a hard time but I should have known better she is such an easy going little girl.  I just can't get over her sense of adventure. :)
