Surprise Visit

One happy little Princess!

Playing catch with Grandpa..Kieley loves her Grandpa!

I had the best surprise this weekend, my DAD!! It was so funny. I received a text from my dad early Saturday morning that read, "Need anything from Phoenix?", I was shocked! I tried calling no answer and then two hours later my Dad was at my front door with gifts and a smile! He flew into town to cheer me up and bring Kieley some ice cream he had promised her on the phone. We had such a fun weekend with him. Kieley LOVED every minute playing and being spoiled by her Grandpa! Thank you Dad, it was the best surprise.. we love and miss you lots!

4th of July Weekend

We had such a fun 4th of July!  We packed up and headed to the magic kingdom and the beach.  We didn't want to stand in lines for the rides in the hot sun so we didn't get to the park until late afternoon all three days and it worked out perfect!

These pictures were taken with my cell phone so the quality isn't great but I had to get pics of Kieley meeting Handy Manny! :)  This was our first day at Disneyland.. we drove straight there so don't look at my little princess's hair.

This is a picture of the ferris wheel on the California Adventure side while we were waiting for the World of Color show to start.

I highly recommend seeing this show if you come to Disneyland it was so neat we all loved it!

Here is a picture of my princess at the beach.. it was a great day for the beach!  Not to hot not to cold. :)

Our Princess

Miss Kieley Lauren

Our "little" princess is 2 1/2! I cannot believe how fast time has gone by since the day she was born. She loves to live life and is always on the go. I'm amazed at how quick she learns new things and how much she learns. :) I am so blessed to call her my daughter!

Things Kieley loves:

*Loves Disneyland

*Loves Singing and Dancing (the other day in Wendy's Kieley got a microphone in her kids meal and went on to serenade everyone in Wendy's and even got "big" applause from everyone around us after she was done singing "twinkle, twinkle". :)

*Loves all cartoons on NicJr or Disney

* Loves to help me with anything

*Loves to shop for clothes (wonder where she got that?)

*Loves jewelry

*Loves to copy her Aunt, Uncle, Dad, and Mom

*Loves to be snuggled at night

*Loves to be tickled and loves to tickle

*She knows all her shapes, colors, alphabet and sounds, counts to 25

*Loves to talk on the phone to her family

*Loves to play with friends
*Loves to read books
* Loves to sing Justin Bieber songs

*Loves to take care of her Mommy & Daddy

*Loves to wear dresses and get her hair done (before we got out she says, "Mom do my hair and put in my bows", definitely a princess!

I'm sure I forgot to list things but I want to keep track of what she is "loving" at this stage in her life. I can't wait to see what the next 2 1/2 years will bring. :)

Bath Time!

Kieley loves taking bubble baths at Grandma M's because of all the bubbles she gets.  I wish I would have got a picture of Uncle Darin and Bri blowing the bubbles everywhere in the bathroom making Kieley laugh.  Fun times!

Cousin Time

The girls having snow cones at Jaden baseball game.

While we were in Utah Kieley had a blast playing with her cousins!  She really loves all of them and still talks about her fun times with Jaden, Sissy and Kel Kel! :)  Here are a few pictures of them.

Jaden, Alexis, Makelle, and Kieley having fun! I didn't get a picture with Syndi :(

Pretty Princess playing dress up with the gifts Grandma gave her.. I love this picture!

Swimming Lessons

While we were in town and I would have tons of help since I'm so prego.  I decided to enroll Kieley in her first swimming lessons.  Aaron got to attend class with her the first week and Bri helped us out the 2nd week.  Aaron had to go back and work for a few days.  Kieley did great!  She hasn't been the biggest fan of the water, unless its her bath tub of course, but she really LOVED her swimming lessons.  She looked forward to "the pool" everyday, it was so fun to watch her learn and get soo excited!   

Her cousin, Carter, who is almost exactly a year younger than her was in the same class.. here they are on the last day with their completion certificate.  Their faces say it all, Kieley's bottom lip makes me laugh..hehe :)

The Wedding

A glimpse into my future.. Isn't this the most precious picture, my little princess looks beautiful!  She spent time with her Uncle Darin and went to lunch while we were in the temple and look at the picture he took with his phone, I love it! 

 

Aaron's only sister, Melissa, got married in June.  It was a beautiful wedding and she was a beautiful bride.  Kieley loved every minute of the wedding day.  She was Aunt Missy's mini me the entire day, it was super cute!  It has been so fun to watch Missy (her nickname) grow up into an amazing young lady, meet her husband and now start a life together.  They are such a cute couple and we wish them all the best!  We love you guys!

Don't think I'm completely vain but I never get family pictures, it's always either Aaron with Kieley or me with Kieley we are never together so I took advantage of all the extra family and ask them to take some pictures.  I can't decide which one to print because I think my husband looks HOT, my daughter is BEAUTIFUL and I'm this huge prego. :( 

It was so cute.. Kieley would hold her dress like this when she walked because she told me, "I'm a princess Mom", and I agreed. :)

Kieley looking at the wedding line...so precious!  My little girl looks so grown up :(

The wedding line right before the guests arrived and things got crazy! :)
