I'm bringing home my baby bumblebee....

Won't my mommy be so proud of me? Bzzzz said the Bee!

Miss Kalin is trying harder and harder to crawl. She gets into this position and rocks and rocks. One of these days (very soon!) she is going to figure out where those hands go. Then watch out!

Shopping in rural Alaska

We buy like this (a big cupboard about 2 feet deep):
Because prices in Dillingham are like this:

Yes, for a single jar!

$2.75 for two......

I was talking to my sister-in-law Jenny, in Colorado, about the crazy prices of baby food. We buy our baby food in bulk out of Seattle because Kalin's appetite would break the bank at these prices in Dillingham!

Happy Halloween from Kiley the Cat and Kalin the Bee!

Hellloooo Bella!

Kalin wanted to give a shout out to her cousin Bella Ryley in Colorado! She saw an adorable picture of her cousin the other day and thought, hmmmm I can use my sister's bow and look just as cute! So Bella we were thinking about you when we took these pictures. Oh and hello to your Mom and Dad too!

Some happenings at the Clouse House....

The flu bug (stomach) has hit our house twice this month I haven't been up for much blogging. It hit the day before we were going to spend some time in Anchorage (Miss Kiley) and then again on Matthew's birthday (me). We had to cancel our trip into Anchorage to see Lori, Jeff, Auntie Net, Camryn, Best Friend, Rikki.... and the opening of Target! Boo HOO!! I hope that the flu does not hit your house..... I'm sending you an anti flu bug vibe.

So Happy 18th Birthday Matthew! Hello my beautiful girls!
Just a few picture I have been meaning to post...

Kiley is such the pro when it comes to flash and smiling for the camera at 7:00 am.
Kalin, not so much~

Happy 18th Birthday Matthew!
His favorite cake is a pineapple upside down cake, birthday dish you ask? Lasagna!

Such a big girl going on a walk!
Teething you ask? Why yes she is, popping out four right now!
Opening her presents from Auntie Net- Thank you!
Yes, her auntie spoiled her rotten!

Riding the Bus!

The bus at Kiley's school finally got fixed, and Kiley is pretty pumped up about it! She got to ride her first bus home and you have never seen a more proud little girl. If it was up to me Kiley wouldn't be riding the bus at all, since a five minute ride to school ends up taking over an hour (due to all the drop off spots her bus has to take, being there is only one), but she looks at the bus as being one of the perks to being "big" so she won and gets to ride it home. So here are some pictures of my big girl riding the bus home from school for the first time.

Snow...... Kind of

Well not really but she had a lot of fun with the dead fireweed around our house! During this time of year we have "white" fireweed everywhere. Kiley and Jon had a blast picking them and swirling them around. There was so much white seed everywhere it looked like it was snowing!
