Easter Weekend!

This past weekend was pretty relaxing! Saturday morning was the exception, I guess, where Kimbri and I were trying to get the house cleaned. But that evening when Rick got home we decided to go on a walk to the park. The one we went to is only just a few blocks from our house and is called Joaquin Park. We've gone there a few different times as the weather has gotten so nice but I wish SO badly that I had my camera/video camera with us that time because we put her in one of the baby swings ( the kind that they can sit down in and that goes all the way around them so they don't fall out) and she was loving it so much!!! She was laughing and squealing and having the time of her life! After a while another couple came up and put there baby in the swing next to Kimbri and their baby started crying:( I guess she was scared or something. But Kimbri was not...she probably could've stayed in that swing all night long. Haha! We most definitely will be going back soon...and I will be taking my video camera with us to try and document how much she loves swinging!

Here's a picture of Kimbri from a different day that we went to the park:

After our adventure to the park we walked home and put Kimbri to bed. Then Rick and I watched the first X-men movie. I've never seen it and this movie is Rick's favorite of the 'marvel movies'.  And I quite liked it too. Enough that I want to see the sequels.

Sunday morning, like Saturday morning, was a bit busy as well. When we first woke up we let Kimbri dig around in her Easter basket and play with the plastic Easter eggs. She LOVED the Easter eggs and practically had to have one in at least one of her hands almost all of the times. For Easter she got some 'mixed grain' cereal, some new Puffs (blueberry and sweet potato flavors),  some Gerber cookies, and a big pink ball.

Here are some pictures of her with her Easter basket goodies...and notice how she almost always has an Easter egg in at least one of her hands :-)

She had just woke up in this picture :)

Yes, she went right for the cookies!

"I want to play with the ball but I don't want to let go of these Easter eggs!!"

Having so much fun with the Easter eggs!

After letting Kimbri enjoy her Easter basket and all the colorful eggs we fed her and also let her try one of her cookies...she LOVES food. And here's some pictures to prove how much she loved her cookie:

Haha! I love her facial expressions :) While she ate her yummy cookie Rick and I ate french toast for breakfast. Then we bathed Kimbri, made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (we promised to make cookies for one of our class members' birthday- we teach the 14-15 year old Sunday school class), put Kimbri down for her morning nap, finished up our lesson, got ready for church, had a quick lunch as we were rushing out the door, literally, and arrived barely in time for church to start.

The rest of the day was great! So fun and relaxing. After church we went down to Spanish Fork to my parents house for dinner. It was way fun to be around so much family and just spend time together. Dinner was so yummy too, as always! Grilled chicken, homemade rolls, fruit, veggies and of course, deviled eggs :) We spent the evening outside in the backyard. The weather was soooo great! All the little kids enjoyed a fun Easter egg/candy hunt and it was just such a fun day!

Here are some more pictures from the evening:

Kimbri still loving the Easter eggs!

Kimbri kept pulling the cat's hair...the cat didn't seem to mind at all.

Oaklee and Enoch were having fun playing on the slide:

Olivia was pulling Kimbri around in the wagon and Rick decided to join in on the fun ;-)

Puffs ~ She Loves Them

About two weeks ago I bought some Gerber Graduates 'Puffs' for Kimbri.  Banana and Strawberry Apple flavors. At first I was breaking them up into very small pieces and giving them to her because she doesn't have any teeth yet so I didn't want her to choke. Well, since they pretty much just melt in her mouth I've now been giving her whole ones.

A few days ago I was trying to teach Kimbri how to pick them up and eat them by herself. She would get one in between her fingers and then just drop it again. So when she'd get it in her fingers I grab her arm and  guide it to her mouth. After many times doing this over and over she did it by herself...once. And only once. But then the next day I put some on her tray and helped her several more times and oh boy, she's got it down! 

Heres a video of it:

She totally LOVES eating these... and they are a life saver sometimes when we're in the car and I have to hold her off just a little bit longer :) 

It's Spring!

The weather has been so wonderful! Kimbri and I have been enjoying going on walks around the South end of campus (to the duck pond occasionally) and to the park just a few blocks away. It's just so nice outside! And the tree in front of our house is covered in blossoms!

Here's proof:

Kimbri enjoyed the blossoms too :-)

These are the flowers that are all in bloom in our backyard. I decided it would be cute to take a couple pictures of Kimbri in front of them.

She kept grabbing at the flowers when I was trying to take the pictures:)

This was when Kimbri and I were in Spanish Fork for the Saturday General Conference sessions. In between the two sessions we went outside and enjoyed the extremely nice weather!

I love Spring time when the world starts to become so beautiful and green after several months of cold and winter. And I'm looking forward to many more outside walks and adventures over the next several months!!

I'm SO In Love With My Baby Girl

This is going to be a long post of a ton of pictures of Kimbri with maybe a few side notes about the pictures. One, I want to have these documented somewhere and two, I have a lot of family out of state that have requested to see some recent pictures of Kimbri. So here we go!

This cute pajama outfit is one of my favorites. Thanks Delicia! I love pink and orange together and I love the pajamas with zippers! It makes it a thousand times easier to change diapers:)

This is one morning when Kimbri and I had just woken up. After I fed her she would sit in her bumbo (before she could sit on her own on the floor) while I ate breakfast.

Kimbri was being soooo smiley when I took these pictures. Here are just two of my favorites from that day.

 Pretty in Purple :)

As you can probably tell from several of the pictures...it seems that whenever I get the camera out she stops smiling and just stares at the little red light that appears when I'm about to take the picture. This is daddy holding Kimbri :)

More fun pictures of Kimbri:

 While Rick was running the Del Sol Ragnar in Arizona, Kimbri and I stayed at my parents house in Spanish Fork. We decided to giver her a bath in the sink in her Bumbo. She loved it! 

This is right before we went shopping with Diana and her baby, Maylie. They are only about 7.5 weeks apart.

They were both so very good at all the stores we went to...but they started to get very sleepy. I couldn't help but take a picture. They both look like they're about to fall asleep! 

 More of Kimbri's adorable smile :)

She loves her daddy!

 For some reason the last two pictures won't upload the right way.... oh well, they're still super cute:)
