Happy First Birthday Kalin!

It was just about the BEST DAY EVER for Miss Kalin Dawn! Wow- waffles for breakfast followed by Sgetti for lunch with a cupcake for desert (head to toe mind you, immediately into the tub afterward) then a wonderful family dinner with cousins and uncles and aunties. Gotta love it! It was a fun day for Kiley too- she got to go to two parties! By the time it was Kalin's turn Kiley was sugared up and pooped out. She was a trooper though and didn't crash until about 8:00 pm and then there was an explosion of mass proportions. We survived though and can't believe our baby is one!

What is she doing these days? Let's see......

• Walking, turning and trying to climb on things.
• Screaming and grunting when Kiley is teasing her or trying to take things away from her (or sometimes even if she thinks Kiley is about to do these things)
• Dancing whenever she hears even a chord of music.
• Eating everything and anything that is put in front of her (she is an excellent eater!)
• Waving bye bye to say good bye and also to end something
• Saying "hot" "Da-Da" "Ma-Ma" and trying to get "dog" out but not quite getting it
• Showing me "cheese" for the camera
• Eating lippa.....
  

Another day at the hill....

We took advantage of some sunshine and temperatures about 0 and took off to Nerka Hill. I even bundled Sis up and got her outside to enjoy some sunshine and "warmer" weather. She didn't get to take any trips down though, but she was content to just watch.
How we love that hill (as did quite a few other people). Camryn was staying with us while Max was on a trip and Jon and I realized how much more fun sledding is when Kiley has a companion. There are only so many times I can "take jumps" and lug my old behind up and down that hill!

Spring Break/ Beaver Round Up

It was another great spring (if you over look the rain and snow of course) for Beaver Round Up, and we were so thankful that we had spring break right after. We needed the week to rest and get better! Our week was full of volunteering; breakfasts, carnivals, concessions and dog shows oh my! Spring break was all about getting wood, 4 truck loads (Matthew and Jon), sleeping, sledding, snow machining, organizing and playing Wii.......... it was sooooo hard to get back to work!

Kalin's Got Moves People!

Kiley is quite the DJ these days and loves to pick her "favorite" songs to dance to. Lately the numero uno song on our four year old's list is "All the Single Ladies" by Beyonce. So we listen to this song on average of about 6 times a day! Yikes. But anyway Kalin also loves music and especially this song, and I captured some of her moves in this video. She is quite the little dancer as you will see.

Sorry for the funky format, I thought I could switch the video around but couldn't. :(

I'll have to get a few of Kiley- she can actually "do" some of Beyonce's moves from her music video.

Kalin's "Sgetti" Face

So it looks like we have another Clouse girl that loves her "sgetti". I took this video for you GB~ I know how you love to see your grandkids with the spaghetti mess all over their faces.

Kalin enjoyed every bite, slurp and gobble. I stripped her down to her diaper for this meal, and as soon as she was done into the tub she went! She had sgetti (as Kiley likes to call it) from her head to her toes. I think she must have eaten more than Jon, Kiley and I put together.

What do you mean I'm done?

AAAAH, that hit the spot!
