The Zoo

Kambri had her first trip to the zoo along with her first carousel ride this week! Kambri was more interested in the waterfalls or surrounding habitats than most of the animals in the exhibits... except for all of the birds! Kambri had a conversation with a couple of parrots, she rode the hummingbird on the carousel, and she wanted so badly to get out of her stroller and play with the turkey's.

Puppy Love

Kambri may only be 8 months old, but she and Rylee already have a special bond. Kambri is always working her way over to wherever Rylee's laying so she can pet her and yank on her tail. Rylee never seems to mind... although sometimes she gets a little frustrated that Kambri can't throw her toys to play fetch yet! We tried taking Rylee to the dog park, but she didn't want to go play. Instead she stayed by Kambri's side and barked and chased off any dog that tried to come near the stroller.

Batters Up!!!

Spring is finally here and we celebrated by heading out to a Cubs game and enjoying the weather. We threw down a blanket and Kambri loved being outside and watching a little baseball.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kambri's first Valentine's day was spent at home with mama and dada, but surrounded by the love from ALL of her family and friends. Kambri received lots of Valentine cards and gifts from her grandparents, aunts, uncle and cousins. She especially loved the cards... I'll probably be cleaning sparkles off of her high chair for months to come! Hope everyone had a Valentine's Day filled with lots of love!

Ride 'Em Cowgirl!

Kambri had her first horse ride this weekend. Dave has been riding and roping with his dad again lately, so Kambri and I went to watch and to give Kambri her first horseback ride. When she first got up on the horse she seemed pretty disinterested, but once the horse lifted and moved her head, Kambri got a big smile on her face. She got to take a little walk around the arena with her daddy, too! We may have a rodeo princess in the making!!!

Four Generations

Days fly by quickly and children move on.

Before we know it the "old times" are gone.

But as we look back at generations gone by,

We reflect on the memories that serve as a tie.

Binding us together With future and past;

and building a story that forever will last.

First Christmas

Kambri got quite spoiled by her family and friends on her first Christmas (although we didn't expect anything otherwise). She was treated to a little bit of sweet potato casserole, got to have a Christmas brunch with some girlfriends and went crazy playing with all of the wrapping and tissue paper, which she enjoyed more than the gifts that were inside!
