This is how it is done.

I finally found out how Krew was climbing out of his crib.  He is so cleaver :)

I knew he had been working on it for a while now since I would find him almost on a daily basis with a foot or leg stuck between the bars.

And when he is not climbing out of his crib he is dumping out bags of food everywhere.

I can't leave this boy alone for a second.

A Song to Grandma

Kali told me she wanted to sing a song for Grandma, 

so here is Kali with her debut song entitled:

A Song to Grandma

Lyrics

I love to be with my family they are always happy,

but when not when I do bad things oh they love me,

truly does my family go to church with me they are always happy.

I always get my friends cuz I always play,

not if I be cranky then I have to take a nap. 

Not if I say to another thing the temple. 

The temple is special of Jesus Christ on it,

but Jesus Christ is special you can’t ever take a lot of thanks,

a lot of friends in of my friends I sometimes they be nice,

oh as I say oh they be nice to my family they don’t say their bad,

I’ll tell them whatever they say to my parents,

because I am the big girl that I tell my friends to not  say my family is rude,

because that makes Jesus sad. 

Oh cuz my family is my family oh cuz I like my family.

Krew at 16 months

My little man is growing like crazy and is full of energy.  Some updates on this guy.  

He loves to point to and say head, noes and eyes.  

He is an amazing eater, which is new for me, Kali struggles in that department.  

He loves to jump and spin until he is dizzy.  

He tries to say what ever we say, he loves to play monster and peek-a-boo.  Monster is a game where I am the monster and I chase him around the house. (in case you didn't know :)  

This little man just learned to crawl out of his crib and it has been a challenge to get him to take a nap or go to bed at night, he just crawls out and plays :)  The cutest thing though is when he wakes up, instead of crying he just crawls out and knocks on the door until I get him.  

I LOVE IT!!!!

Moore Family Newborn : sneak peek

This beautiful little girl was so precious.  

She knows her mom and dad's voice and loves to be held.  I have learned that newborns do not like to be photographed when they are hungry.  

Hence the picture you will see on my photo blog.  Many of your hearts will probably drop to see such a sad picture, but I was informed that some people think it is cute :)

2 weeks dry

Kali finally earned her trip to Chuck E. Cheese's.  I think the night wetting is a thing of the past. (knock on wood).

The kids enjoyed pizza and salad.

Kali my bird eater ate a couple pieces and left the crust, Krew on the other hand is my garbage disposal and finished off all the pizza and Kali's crust.

The kids favorite ride.  

They got lucky and shared it with a local girl who kept feeding the machine tokens, sooo twenty rides later...

They were done and we played a few games to win a few tokens :)

It was a great time had by all.

oh, and one more things, Kali loved Chuch E. the second time around, the first time she got a little nervous and her body shakes when she gets scared.  She still gave him a high five.

Krew on the other hand did not want anything to do with him and griped my shirt REALLY tight:)  So funny!

Allred Family Newborn

Today was such a fun day for me, I got to photograph in the Allred studio.  

Ok, it is just their beautiful home, but I felt like I was in a studio.

I feel like I have finally had a creative break through.

I have had this guitar reflections idea in my head for awhile and I thought the Allred's would be the perfect family to try it with,

 seeing how they own quite a few guitars :)

The rest are up to view at

Swimming Lessons

Kali had done to Gunstock awhile back to swim with the instructors still in training and ever since than she has told me she wanted to take lessons.  I have been teaching Kali as much as I can or as much as she will let me, since I am a certified instructor, however, I felt like maybe she would progress a little faster with someone else and with older kids to push her.  Well the first two days she did AWESOME!  They split the class into two groups the upper and lower group.  She made it skill wise into the older group with the 5 and 6 year olds!  I was so proud of her :)  Sadly enough by the third lesson, she decided she was over swimming lessons and she wanted me to get in the pool with her, which as we all know, totally defeats the purpose of these lessons :(  Well, it is a continual fight and it makes me realize maybe she is a little to young and not ready to do lessons with out me with her.  She is a little attached to me still.  I was considering putting her in pre-school and now I am second guessing myself.  Well, there is another week left of lessons and hopefully we can just finish them out with out to much of a fuss.

Here is her routine.  She showers off.

uses the restroom

then practices her skills

and on a good day, she is happy about it all :)
