2 crazy, wonderful kids!


Some of Kylea's favorites: dancing, singing, art, art and more art! (esp. cutting with scissors), playing the piano (She knows how to play "Twinkle, Twinkle" "Mary Had a Little Lamb" "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "I am a Child of God" on our little toy piano), preschool and playdates with her buddies, texting and sending mail to her friends & family, all things princess, the library and Target (so proud!), Cheerios with honey, yogurt, apples, fruit snacks, monkey bars (aka granola bars), family game & movie nights, spelling games, "Go Fish" "Old Maid" and "Candyland", Books: Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious and Dr. Seuss, Shows: Max & Ruby, Sesame Street & Dora, pbskids.org & nickjr.com, playing with her little brother (sometimes ;),...
From the moment she wakes up, she's on the go until late at night! She keeps us busy, makes us laugh and is always amazing us with her talents! She is such a smart little girl and very thoughtful & caring too. She brings just the right amount of sweetness and sass to our family and we love her to pieces!




Some of Kade's favorites: walking, dancing (like his big sis), smiling, wanting anything and everything that Kylea has (hence the "sometimes" wanting to play with her little brother listed above)...but the moments they do play together nicely are too cute to watch!, his binkie, blanket and night light, rubbing his head when he's tired, eating (fruit esp. bananas, cottage cheese and yogurt mixture, rice, cheese, oatmeal, small veggies so he can pinch and eat them, noodles, crackers), sleeping (he's still holding on to 2 naps most days), screaming, pulling hair (uh-oh!), climbing the stairs, balls ("ball" was his first word), animal books, wooden puzzle pieces, toys that sing or make noises, Baby Einstein DVDs, getting into mischief and chewing on everything!, cuddling (love this!), laughing and climbing on things (he's a little daredevil!), bath time with Dada, peek-a-boo, being around his family and friends,...
Kade is such a happy little guy, full of lots of energy just like his sister. He is always exploring around the house and keeps us plenty busy. He is strong and determined! And he loves to laugh and be silly too! We love our sweet little boy and are so happy he's a part of our family! :)
These pics were taken by Danica Nelson. We are so lucky to have such an amazing friend who is also such an amazing photographer!

Your kids are so stinking cute! I wish we lived close so James and Kade could be buds--he is so so darling. I especially love those last two pics of him.
