dancing queen

Sorry K, I know this is kind of "private" since it was during bath time, but it's too adorable not to share!
You love to dance and we blast some tunes during bath time!!

happy 1st birthday braylon!!

Over the weekend, Kiley and I headed back to West Des Moines, and were able to attend Braylon's 1st birthday party!  Braylon is the adorable son of one of my best friends, Ashley.  He is such a little stud, and is always so happy!! Thanks for having us at the party!

 with both of his parents, a sports theme for Bray is only fitting!

 seriously, how adorable is he!? 

 ice cream time for the birthday boy! 
{poor babe got sick from cake on his actual bday, so they had to go with ice cream for the party!}

she does't look too thrilled in this picture, but she had a blast at the party! Loved her little goodie box!

time in the exersaucer

Up until she turned one K loved her exersaucer and jumperoo , then she discovered she would rather be out of it and exploring. Well even though it has been months since she has last used it , it sat up in our bedroom. The last few days she has really been into getting in it and playing! Haha!

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating Easter!  Kiley is at such a fun age these days {minus the few temper tantrums and meltdowns.}  She really enjoyed "hunting" for eggs!  We spend the weekend at home {Aunt Katy came down from Chicago to visit} and then finished off the weekend with dinner down in Bloomington at Kyle's parents.  All in all, a GREAT Easter for K!

Enjoy some pictures from the weekend!

K's first egg hunt!

 With Easter only a week away, we ventured to our first egg hunt for K!   Last year she was too young to do the hiding of the eggs, but we will be doing it this year!    I was a little hesitant when we first arrived at the number of children {especially older than her}  But they had it set up very well.  Every child was divided into different age groups, each age group had their own location.  Then each child was given a number, and 5 of the eggs had their number on it. {after about a minute of searching for our number, the under 4 age group was told to just pick 5 eggs and ignore the number--much easier!}   After they collected their 5 eggs, they took them to the "prize" location and traded the empty eggs for a prize bag!  It was actually very well planned out and very fair, that way everyone walked away with the same things and no fighting over eggs.  


 waiting for the start!
 "can't I go now?!"
 "please!?!"
 had to go on a little walk while we waited for the egg hunt to begin
i found an egg!

putting it in her basket!
 more eggs!

the prize at the end!
