Family Night Out

So the men were able to make it this weekend on a night out and it was so much fun having them with us. Kali loved it!! She just adores her daddy and always is so concerned about him and what he is doing. We had an amazing dinner at Macaroni Grill, everything was delicious! Even Kali's macaroni and cheese was amazing!! This picture of us at the restaurant makes me laugh so hard, because right as we were leaving I decided we needed to get a picture and our waitress was so busy so Aaron decided to take it and see what we could get. I love how Kali is totally looking and smiling for the picture, I don't usually get the combination together, and how Derek is totally cut out of the picture. Sorry Derek. If you look really hard you can see a slice of his face on the right edge. LOL! I do have to wonder if Aaron did that on purpose? JK:) Kali loves going up and down the escalators at the mall. Hillary and Derek decided to help her down and they all looked so cute. In the other picture Kali is being miss independent and walking the mall by herself. She is already a little shopper, when we go to stores she will look through the clothes and even look at the tags and then hand them to me and I will ask her if this is what she wants and she will nod her head and say, "yes"! It is so cute. Notice the Dora slippers she is wearing, this is an item she picked out her self and decided she needed. I don't know, but I think she is pretty stylish.

Turtle

Kali and I are hanging out at temple beach and all of a sudden this little turtle makes its way up onto the sand and then heads straight for us. If I hadn't moved I think he would have tried to run us over!! Kali loved it. She first wanted to feed him oreo's, but I informed her that turtles didn't like oreo's. She then decided she wanted to talk to the turtle and tell him to watch her and she ran up to the top of the sand bank and then proceeded to run down as fast as she could almost falling on her face every time as she reached the bottom because her little feet couldn't go as fast as her momentum. It was so entertaining, and she thought it was funny as well so she did it several times, but each time before she was going to run, she had to tell the turtle to watch her. Never a dull moment in the life of a mother!!

Girls Night Out

The men were busy so Hillary Williams, Kali and I decided to hit the mall and then fill our bellies with P.F. Chang's. Kali loved the big horse out front. She had to get a picture with it. After a delicious dinner Kali decided to go wild on the car. She was dancing and sliding all over it. Hillary and I could not stop laughing. It was so hilarious. Fun night out with the girls!!

OUR LITTLE PRINCESS

Kali Lyn Jones is turning 20 months on the 18th of Oct. She is getting to be such a big girl who knows exactly what she wants. I love these pictures with her shoes on because she is really into socks and shoes right now. That is what she sees daddy putting on all the time and so she wants to wear them too. She also loves to wear a "bow" in her hair. She has several different headbands with a flower but she calls it a bow. She is always sporting some sort of bandage, either Barbie or princess and she is starting to get interested in potty training since all of her older friends are doing that right now. So I got her some underwear that she always wears over her diaper and I told her she won't need her diaper any more as soon as she can always let me know when she needs to go shee shee or poo poo. Shee shee means pee pee in Hawaiian. Kali is talking so well. She loves to talk on the phone to all our friends and family. Sometimes she will just walk around the house talking on the phone even though no one is on the other end. Kali's favorite color is Blue just like her Grandpa Wood. Anytime I ask her what color something is she will always says, BLUE! Kali was funny when we were taking these pictures she said she had to stand by a palm tree. Then when I said, "say cheese" she would say "cheese, cheese, cheese" as she was looking around, but she would never look at me. Except of course her model pose when she was done saying cheese she would just look at me with out smiling. It made me laugh!

Bath Time

Kali loves bath time and now she always needs her bubbles! We got her some new bath toys and the one she is holding in her hand is an octopus. No matter what picture or object that I show her of an octopus even if they look so completely different, she knows it is an octopus. I would have to say that is her favorite ocean animal right now.

Kali Picasso

Kali's Uncle Nathan gave me the idea of buying a canvas and some paint and letting Kali go to town for her 1st birthday. She wasn't so interested then, she did a little bit and then we put the painting up in our room and every once in awhile Kali would say that she wanted to paint so we would let her do more. Now Kali is 19 months old and I think she has finally found her inner Picasso. She painted and painted and the finished product is definitely a master piece, people think we should put it up in an art gallery! I asked her to give me a big smile and as you can see she has personality. It looks like we have an artist on our hands.

Laie Elementary Carnival

We went the Laie Carnival and Kali had so much fun! They had all sorts of rides and food and activities for the kids to do. She tried her first bite ever of cotton candy, which she loved. (Of course, it is pure sugar.) She got to go on a train ride with her friends Seth and Eli and decorate Halloween pumpkin cookies. She spent more time eating the m&m's, chocolate chips and candy corns than decorating with them. She also did a bean bag toss which she thought was a blast because it had an octopus on it and she loves octopus. She only threw it once behind the line and she made it in, but I couldn't get her to stand behind the line after that she thought it was much more practical to walk up to the board and put the bean bags in the holes then she won every time and got to pick out a prize. So smart:)
