Daddy, Kylee and Nash
I got them all to look at once, but look at Josh's face. He looks mad.

Now thats better!

rolling around

she sits so good in the boppy!

I cant believe how big she is getting.

this is what we did for a lot of this weekend. it was great to just relax
we went out to dinner at buffalo wild wings on wednesday.

my little cutie patootie and my husband goofing around

The last week

We went out to Bubba Gumps (from Forest Gump) so we had to goof around with the fake shoes and the "box of chocolate"

look at my baby in her little dress :)

its hard to see, but her onesie has a little white Vikings helmet on it. bring on the football season!

and I'm sure everybody knows because we all use facebook, but we are coming home August 11th! First we are going to spend a few days with Josh's brother Matt, then a week fishing, then we will back to hang with y'all :)

Today we went to the Aloha Tower to walk around, enjoy the view and have lunch
we got to sit next to the ocean and have lunch. sigh...i love it

Kylee in her pretty dress

Yesterday Kylee was playing in the video game room and fell asleep on the chair. had to get a picture.

love her smile :)

Kylee sucking on her toes after she got done eating

lovely smile :)

here's her newest smile...showing those gums off!

So we havent bought the plane tickets yet...hoping for prices to go down, but Kylee and I will be in WI for about a month, starting mid-August. Josh will be in WI for about two weeks. I do have one special request. For my bridal shower, each lady was supposed to send 3 recipes to me so I would start married life with a bunch of recipes. I do have a bunch of recipes already, as many of you know I do love to cook. Anyways, Carolynn never gave me those recipe cards and refuses to give them to me now. I would love to have some "family" recipes that I could hand down to Kylee one day as recipes with family history, so I was hoping you could write those recipes down again?

Also, after much deliberation, prayer and discussion, I have decided to re-enlist in the Army. This is probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make so thank you all for the long hours of listening to me. I cannot wait to get home and have everyone meet Kylee~!

Daddy feeds Kylee all the time now!

look at that face! that is chicken noodle soup she's eating

these trees have flowers on them that smell phenomenal. and they are all over the island. they really only bloom with great smell during July, though.

i found Kylee these cute jammies at Target the other day

Today I babysat our friend's daughter Kynslee. Kynslee's mom will be watching Kylee the next two weeks while I work for the Army. Kynslee sits up great, and is crawling, standing and walking so I'm sure Kylee's sitting and crawling skills will vastly improve the next few weeks.

Kynslee could have been named Kylee---but her dad vetoed it at the last minute, and her middle name is Elizabeth just like Kylee. We know another couple who named their daughter Kylee Elizabeth as well, our babies born exactly one month apart, although we didnt know each other at the time. We tried to pick a unique name but it seems Kylee is pretty popular in Hawaii!

Kylee even stood (holding the couch) for about twenty seconds today! That was a first...and a fluke, I think.

Some video of Kylee crawling around. She's been making these odd faces lately and I tried to capture that, although my video taking skills need some tuning.

Kylee hanging out with our friend Amy.
Then Amy was a sweetheart and put Kylee to sleep for me

Daddy giving Kylee a pina colada freezie

loved that freezie!

Kylee chewing on the table. This was after a snack, veggies and meat for dinner.
My band. See video below.

Little smiler with her crazy hair.

Not sure why this picture is so small. I was reading to Kylee before bed and she wanted to play with the book. (Thanks Grammy, love the board books!) Looks like she's reading it, huh?

Josh and Kylee were messing around at dinner last night so I had to get video. Its so cute how much she adores him. I have drill this weekend so wont be posting pictures for a few days. I'm sad...still not sure if I'm staying it or not so this might be my last drill :( Is it too much to ask for peace for awhile so I cant be deployed? Then I'll stay in.

Kylee and Daddy playing together
Kylee has shown in the last few days (we think anyways) that she understands who da-da is

another unsucessful attempt to feed Kylee while josh is around. and Josh makes it worse, he tries to make her laugh while I'm struggling to get her attention. that settles it. we are taking Grammy's advice. When I'm around...Josh feeds Kylee

I dont know how Josh got her to do this...but he makes her throw her arms up in the air.

Kylee rolling around, off the carpet, trying to get to Nash. She makes some odd faces that are really cute :)
