So I'm a little bit behind on the blog. I am trying to catch up before it gets too out of control! This is like our family journal sort of thing and I want to eventually create a book of all our photos as a memory book, so I can't get too behind!
I figured it would probably just be easiest to do a photo dump of all the random pictures I took of the kids in January. Here ya go:
We LOVE going to the park. And it is just around the corner from our house so we go there oh so often!

Bath time!! I've found it is just so much easier to give them baths together rather than try to keep one of them from getting in the tub while the other one is bathing. Haha! They truly are obsessed with bath time. They are both in LOVE with taking baths.

We upgraded Garrett's car seat to a forward facing. I haven't been super impressed with the car seat we got for Kimbri. There is almost no head support for when she falls asleep in the car. So one of the things I was trying to find in a car seat for Garrett was good head support. I looked and looked through reviews trying to find a good option.
I finally went to Babies 'R Us with one in mind. And while I was there I found a different one that was perfect! It came in the mail a few days later and Garrett was chillin' in it backwards. It's a Safety 1st, Alpha Elite 65 (Blake version). Kimbri's car seat is a Safety 1st but we got like the cheapest one we could find. And I guess that's why it doesn't have as good of features.
Anyway, long story short I am in love with this car seat and it's perfect in so many ways.... from comfort, to the placement of the cupholder, to padded arm rests, to head support. And he can very easily sleep in it!
This is a picture I took while we were out for a walk to the park one day. I thought it was pretty cool looking, the way the clouds are scattered and the palm trees stand.
Taking Kimbri and Pearl to dance. And since we were walking there we just squeezed Garrett in behind Kimbri :) He didn't seem to mind too much! It was a little chilly that morning. And by chilly I mean like 55 degrees. It's chilly for Arizona!

Olivia gave Kimbri this cute pink jewelry box with a bunch of necklaces and "pretties" in it. She loves it! Thanks Olivia!
Waiting so patiently at Sam's Club while Rick had his eye appointment to get new contacts. I love that Sam's Club has big carts with TWO seats that have buckles. Makes shopping much easier. And most of the time, ok all the time, I park in between Walmart and Sam's Club (they are right next to each other and share the same parking lot) so that if I have to go to Walmart too, I can take a Sam's Club shopping cart in Walmart.
A beautiful Arizona sunset.

One day Kimbri told me that she was tired and was going to go to sleep. It was the middle of morning and Kimbri NEVER volunteers to go to bed. So this was super weird. But she did it. She went to her room, got all snuggled up and fell asleep.

| I found a pretzel stuck in Kimbri's hair! Haha. |
 |
| Snack time! |
Kimbri got a new toothbrush. It's a pink one that lights up! Can you tell she loves it?

This was right after we got home from Christmas in Utah. My parents gave Kimbri this table for Christmas. She loves it! And yes, she wanted to wear my old Minnie Mouse ears to match the Minnie Mouse on the table :)
I couldn't just pick one of the pictures because I of course thought they were all cute... so here are all three pictures of her at her Minnie table:
There you have it. A huge photo dump from the month of January!
