Grandpa Geist

Grandpa Geist came to see us a few days ago. Kayla was being a little shy. (I love it when she is shy, because she is anything but when it is just me and daddy around!) She would sit on Grandpa's lap but wouldn't look at him at first (kinda like she did to the easter bunny). She warmed up though. Thanks for coming to see us!

Check up - 18 months

Kayla recently had her 18 month check up. She was 33" tall (90th%) and weighed 23 lbs (25th%). She is getting so big! She has 12 teeth and has 4 more coming in!

Elmo

Kayla got a new Elmo, or as she calls him "Elmo Song". She loves watching Elmo sing Elmo's song on Youtube. She has a baby elmo she takes to daycare with her everyday. Sometimes she forgets him there so now she has a talking Elmo waiting at home for her. She loves Elmo:-)





Elmo wants a bite of cheese too!

The Fourth

This weekend was the GOODGUYS car show at the fair grounds. My dad brought his 59 Chevy Bel Air that he just finished restoring. It was fun and as always really hot. Kayla cooled off with some ice cream. She was even double-spooning it at times...she just couldn't get enough I guess!

Grandpa and Grandma Smith are heading back home today and Grandma Connie is on her way to come see us now!






We went to Prairie Meadows to watch fireworks. We just missed the horse races but Kayla still got to see the horsies. There were a ton of people out there and Kayla was loving running around with all the other kids. Luckily she took a late nap so she was able to stay awake for the fireworks. She liked them but was a little scared. She wanted someone to hold her the whole time.

Hannah's Visit

Hannah got to come stay with us for a few days. My mom and her came up and we had a busy weekend. On saturday we went to the zoo. The girls liked feeding the fish and riding on the choo choo as Kayla calls it. Hannah was all excited because we told her she could feed the giraffe, but when it stuck out its long gross looking tongue she freaked out and dropped the food...it was hilarious. The poor giraffe just looked at us...so I picked up the food and gave it to him. That night we took them to Chuck E Cheese. Hannah had fun playing all the games and Kayla had fun just inserting the coins. Sunday we went boating with Jerad, Jacque and Ellie. Hannah refused to tube with me because last year we fell off. I think I traumatized her. Kayla wanted to be like the big girls and put her feet in the water so we sat at the back of the boat so they could play for awhile. I think the girls had a good time. KJ was pretty tired by the time they left Monday night.

Kara's Wedding

My friend Kara got married on Friday. Emily, Jeff, and Jase went too and it was so good to see them since they thought they had to move almost an hour away from us :( Kayla had fun playing with Jase. They did pretty good staying up as late as they possibly could...and as always Kayla kept me busy chasing her around all night. I wish I had her energy.
