Mother's Day Fun

I had a fun Mother's Day this year! We had my mom and Chad, my sister Jessi and Colton's sisters and their kids, Chanson & Garrison, Jaggar and Jett and Cameo & Brett, Daxton over for a fun picnic! Colton made delicious dutch oven ribs for us and we had salad, cheesy potatoes, and rolls for lunch. Lunch was yummy but I think the funnest part of the day was being able to spend it OUTSIDE! Kesli ran around the back yard all afternoon and LOVED it! She is finally walking by herself now and was loving the freedom to roam as she pleased. We blew bubbles and played ball. It was such an enjoyable day. Plus, I got a sweet purple life jacket - I am so excited to go boating and wear it. I did manage to snap a few photos of Kesli with the help of my little sis:) Kes seems to be the life of the party lately and I forget to snap pics of everyone else. I have the best mom ever, too! I'll get a picture of us and post later...

Kesli and my tulips! And her purple boots...


Kesli and her lady bug (bug as she called it). Poor thing got smashed to death I think!

PrInCeSs TaNnEr

Kesli Shay had her 15 month well check this week. She is growing up so fast and is so smart. She is becoming a little girl and not my baby anymore!
Height: 31 3/4 inches (84%)
Weight: 26 pounds 6 ounces (89%)
She decided one day that she was brave enough to walk by herself and she hasn't slowed down since. She is into cleaning right now and will play with a paper towel, dish cloth or towel for quite a while. She cleans the floors, tables, furniture, etc. I'd like to think I taught her this, but I think she got it from my babysitter:) I give her free reign in her room and I walked in one day and said "What a mess!' Now everytime she walks into her room she says "Ness." So cute! Some of my favorite words of hers right now are "Ninner" for Dinner, "Naun-ie" for Laundry and "Toad" for Cold. She knows what the cow and kitty say and where her eyes, ears, nose, teeth, button (belly button), pigs (toes) and baby hands are. She is also becoming quite the monkey and will climb onto anything she can! We love her more than we could ever describe!

...Combing Mommy's Hair...

Last night Kesli was playing in her room and found her toothbrush. She started combing her hair and then crawled over to me and started combing mine. She was having such a good time, just a giggling and a laughin!

These Boots are Made for Walkin!

And that's just what they'll do!!! Kesli has 3 pair of boots. Both grandma's gave her a pair for Christmas and Aunt Jessi found the purple ones in Salina and ya just can't pass up a pair of purple boots, can you? So - here are some photos of her sportin her new boots last night and today.

....first steps

Kesli is starting to take a few steps all by herself now! She is very cautious but will walk about 6 feet back and forth to me and Colton. She is so proud of herself and it is so much fun to watch her grow and learn SO much So fast! She is amazing! P.S. - I know you can tell by the video that she doesn't have very many toys to play with, but hey, we manage:) LOL!!!

Table - 1 Kesli - 0

We had a little run-in with the coffee table yesterday at our house. Kesli has been cruising around it for several months now. She had her cell phone in one hand and went to grab the table and her hand slipped and she fell face first into the table! So sad!!! Her mouth hit the table and her little tooth cut her lip, so now she has a fat lip:( It is on the right side of her mouth, just in case you can't tell.

.BuBbLeS.

Kesli loves to watch Mommy and Daddy blow bubbles with gum...as you can probably tell from the video:) I love, love, love her laugh!!!
