The Giant

Kiley and Jon were talking about my birthday today. Kiley was giving her Dad some ideas on what to get me, she's thoughtful like that. I guess she came up with some pretty good ideas, like gloves.

She must have also thought of clothes because they got onto the subject of size. So Jon was asking her what size she thought I was, and like a smart 5 year old she said, "medium".

Smart kid.

She decided that Sis was, "baby" and she was, "little."

Well Jon was on a roll and asked her what size she thought he was, she thought a bit and said, "giant."

Such an insightful child, that is why we love her so much!

Sis

Wow our baby is really starting to grow up. Really.

She talks, or at least tries to all the time. I will call home and right away I hear, "MOM, hi mom. MOM MOM, hi mom!" I'll answer and say, "Hi Sis, what are you doing?" and she answers, "Hi Mom".......ahh she tries.

Kalin is getting closer to 2 every day. Her favorite word is,"no", not," NO" but, "noooooo". Which is of course, much cuter. But it gets less and less cute every day when it is the only answer she gives to every question!


Sis likes to tattle, she uses words and waves her arms around a lot to let us know what she is talking about. She'll run into the bathroom, "Mom! Mom! Ditder..." (pointing to her sister) "Mom, Ditder....." Point, sad face, point, wave arms. I get the picture and try to solve the problem.

Kalin also likes to talk about the "kitty kitty" and the "dawgs". I think they might be two of her favorite subjects actually. She let's them know how much she loves them by petting (pounding) and of course screaming KITTY KITTY and DAWG whenever they are near.

Sis is also growing hair, enough for me to give her much deserved horns!

Happy New Year




We brought in the new year with a bang, wow 2010! Jon and I went to the 2nd Annual Mushers Ball with my sister Jeanette. We had a fabulous dinner and got to listen to a fun live band, quite the evening in Dillingham! The girls got to spend the night with Papa and Gram and of course be spoiled rotten. Kiley even went back to spend the night again a few nights later! Our girl is starting to grow up!

Here's hoping 2010 is even better than 2009!!

More Christmas pictures

Woot! A new game for the Wii!
Kalin was very interested in the cookies that Santa didn't have room for.....
Sis could barely sit still for a picture.....

Christmas day was soooo wonderful! Jon surprised us with a family gift (hah hah, really its all for me.....) of a new computer! I rearranged my living room with the help of my sister and mom to accommodate the computer desk and computer in the living room. Jon hooked it up and rewired the Sunday after Christmas day.

Ahhhh, I have been in heaven surfing and playing with iPhoto, iTunes and Pages (oh and a little Facebook and email are also thrown in there.....). Kiley got a Webkin kitty cat she named Lola, and got online to name it and feed it and do whatever else needed to be done. Jon down loaded a few baby games for Kalin so she can pound on the key board and not hurt anything. We are all getting our fair share of the new awesome computer!

So here are a few more pictures from Christmas day and Christmas Eve. We also had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the entire family going to the Candle Service at the Moravian Church.

New pictures from 2010 to follow......
