Kaylee's First Fort

I built Kaylee a fort today.  She wasn't interested in playing in it by herself, only if I went in with her.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Chico!

Kaylee loved here mandarin orange Santa left in her stocking.

Kaylee's First Birthday

Andrea made an awesome carrot cake with none other than pink and green frosting.

 I hung the streamers (also pink and green) and wrapped presents.

Kaylee's First Trip to Chico

The three of us travled to Chico over the Labor Day weekend.  We celebrated grandpa Lowell's  Birthday and saw my cousin Nick and his family.

Then we spent some time at Stoney Gorge.  It was a little smokey. 

Dad took us all go cart racing at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds.

 Mom held the lead in the "Powder Puff" race, but Andrea finally got around when mom looked behind her to say, "Where'd she go?"

 During the main event, I was so far ahead you coulen't even see anybody behind me!

Swimming at Joanie's House

On Saturday Kaylee got to go for a swim in Joanie and Nate's pool.  She had a great time and even learned how to kick!

 We are still trying to teach Kaylee to kick while in this swiming position but she hasn't quite got it yet.

 Her cousin Riley was trying to show her how it's done.

 In her new inner tube is where she finally learned she could move around by kicking.  Little by little she'll be a good swimmer.

Kaylee's first time on the ski boat.  Her face and hands stayed like this for the first 5 minutes - we're not quite sure what she thought of it.

 Kaylee enjoys walking through the water with Grandma Ruth.

Experimenting with the wet sand.

Kaylee insited on taking a turn driving the boat, so Daddy gave in.

Cameron's not too happy.

Andrea tore it up on the wakeboard

Lookin' good!

Ben shows off his sweet moves on the wakeboard.

Don't worry folks, it's all part of the show!
