This is Kali swimming in the tub because the place where we were going to swim was having a party...But she didn't seem to mind. She has to have the tube of course!!

Kali swim lessons

Well this was Kali's last day of swimming lessons and she found this hat in her drawer....she wanted to wear it so I said, "what the heck". She graduated from the mom and tot class and i think it is more work for the mom...Getting everything ready to go...Getting in, getting out....lol but we had a really good time and Kali loves to swim...I can't wait till she can do lessons at the outdoor pool...Summer where are you??

A hottie in a HAT!!

Feeding the Ducks

My mom & dad have this great duck feeding spot a mile or so from there house. So now my mom has to start saving old bread & bagels so that when Kali comes they can go feed the ducks. And there are these cute little goats there as well. Someone has built a little ledge along the fence so that kids can stand up and see. It is quite the feeding place.
Kali, Brian & Grandma Pratt getting there food ready to feed...

Thoroughly enjoying feeding the ducks...

Papa Pratt & Kali admiring all the ducks...

And last but not least...watching so intently...

St. Patricks Day

Well for St. Patricks Day I think it is always fun to do something a little out of the ordinary but also to not go overboard. So this year Kali and I made GREEN pancakes for breakfast. She enjoyed getting to help out. That is one really fun thing about having a girl...They are born little girls and always want to help.

Photo Shoot

I know I posted lots of pictures but I loved them all. Kali is getting so grown up. She will soon be two and I wanted to get some fun photos....of Kali in all the moments...I think this is exactly what I got....My Sister in Law Tiffany look these pictures for me. She does such an amazing job. She is right now in the process of making a studio in her basement with all the correct lighting and such. When she gets things ready I will let everyone know. If you want something immediatly let me know and I will have you talk with Tiffany. She has a photo blog if you go to... www.tcarterphotography.blogspot.com

Kali & Cooper

Weekend in Richfield

Kali, Marci, My mom & Me spent the weekend in Richfield...We had such a great time. We got to spend time with lots of cousins that we don't see that much anymore. This is our little family after church.

The Bake off

My mom and her mom were making bread for Courtney's fair-well. So my mom and grandma decided to have a bake off!! Of coarse neither one of them used a recipe and they laughed the whole time. Well my mom swore that they did everything the same but her bread started to rise quicker.....My mom was holding out....she added a half a cup of sugar to her's...The rolls were great....and it was so fun to make bread with those 2.

Shoes

So my mom bought these 3 pair of prom shoes for her niece that lives down in Richfield. Well this pair didn't fit and so my grandma thought she should try them on...We all got a kick out of my grandma trying to walk (with assistance from Marci of course) my grandpa whistled at her as she strutted her stuff back and forth in the living room. And then the next day she said, "i dreamed about those shoes all night". My grandma is a fun, talent lady. I have learned so many great things from her. I often think of her...Thanks for letting us stay.



And of coarse Kali wanted to try them on as well. Who knew you could have this much fun with a pair of shoes.

Great Grandpa Delange & Kali

This is Kali & Great Grandpa Delange. They were going out to look at the cows. Kali had such a great time on the farm. She loved the kitty's, cows, horses and jumping in puddles.


Kali up on the tractor. My grandparents have this awesome barn/shed (I am not sure what to call it). It has a cole burning stove and it is where my uncle & grandpa spend most of the winter getting things ready for the spring.

Swimming Lessons

Kali & I just recently started mommy & me swim lessons. I really wanted to go just to keep Kali familiar with the water. Brian's brother & his wife have a pool so I want her to learn a few basic things. Well this little one loves the water....We do all sorts of fun things, sing songs and play games..After the fist time we got out she looked at me and said, "more mom". She is so much fun in the water and is really enjoying lessons....I don't mind them either....minus getting in a bathing suit in march with pasty white legs and freezing cold after you get out :) The things we do for our kids!!
