Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!

Okay, okay, I know that I have been really bad at keeping this blog updated. So instead of trying to catch up on all of the things I missed (Christmas, New Years, etc.) I am just going to try to start again.

As many of you know, this past month has been CRAZY! We were packing like crazy to get ready to move, Christmas came and went, and we moved in with my Mom the day after Christmas because the house that we were buying was still in escrow. During all of this I was feeling awful, but I was not sure what was wrong. New Years Eve came and I starting feeling really weird. It felt like I had a bite on the top of my head. On New Years day I was feeling worse and by that night I knew something was wrong with me. The next day I went to the doctor and they told me that I had SHINGLES!

It was terrible! I felt so sick and then I found out that I would not be able to touch Kayla until I was healed because there was a change she could get the chickenpox if she came in contact with my shingles. So, all in all, it was a pretty rough week. Meanwhile, we were still trying to get everything in line for the house that we were buying.

So, as of January 22nd, we are the new owners of our house in Livermore. We are actually getting ready to move in this Saturday. The house is being worked on right now (new paint, scrapping popcorn ceilings, etc.) but we are very excited! We feel like things are actually coming together! So after this big move, I am going to try my hardest to keep up with this blog again.

Thanksgiving @ Grandma Karen's

So, I am attempting to get the blog caught up-to-date. We went to Karen's for Thanksgiving this year and had a great time!

Kayla at her first Thanksgiving dinner table

The day after Thanksgiving we went the Grass Valley craft faire and Kayla got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus for the first time!

It has been way too long!

I know, I know, it has been way too long! We have been so busy with trying to finalize everything with selling our condo and looking for a new house. I only have one more week of school left, so I will have more free time very soon! It will take me a few posts to get up-to-date, but back in early November we all went to visit Uncle Jeff in Utah. One of his friends is a photographer and she was able to capture some great shots of Kayla and the family! These are just a few of the awesome pictures she got!

5 months & Halloween Pictures!

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long since we have posted. I guess I just haven't been taking many pictures, so there hasn't been a lot to post. Michael so nicely reminded me that the blog needed a new post, so it was perfect timing because we just got some new pictures! We are excited for Kayla's 1st Halloween...as you can see she is the cutest little ladybug!

New Pictures!

I just wanted to post some new pictures we had taken of Kayla. We tried the JC Penney portrait studio for the first time and pictures came out great! Let us know what you think!

4 months!

Kayla is 4 months old today! We got her pictures taken yesterday at Babies'r'us and she gave us some good smiles. She is getting so big and is developing such a personality. It is so much fun!

Good News!

We got some good news today...Kayla does not have to wear her braces anymore! The Doctor said that the braces have done what they need to do, so we do not need to go back and see him until June once she starts walking. We cannot believe how big Kayla is getting. She is now starting to sit up and is really interested in playing! We are getting her 4 month pictures taken on Friday, so I will post those once I have them.
