She's Walking!!!!

Kate decided yesterday that she had had enough crawling and began to take her first steps. Cort and I were floored. She is only 10 1/2 months. Maybe that is normal for most kids, but we were pretty shocked. She just seems so little still. She gets so excited when she starts to walk that she speeds up and ends up eating it. I will post a video and some pictures when I get the chance. Church will now be even more exciting, as I am sure you can all imagine.

Going Private

Hey family and friends. We are having fun with the blog and staying connected. We would like to continue to stay close. In two weeks we are going to put a password on our blog so if you’d like to continue to receive updates send me your e-mail address. This will add privacy and still allow us to stay connected.

Thanks

The "Summer Cut"

I asked Cort to give Kimball a hair cut the other day becase his hair was getting pretty long. And this is what happened! He just kept saying, "Daddy where is my hair?" Cort made him feel better by encouraging him that it was a "cool summer cut" for boys. I am getting used to it now, but I am not sure we will be doing these "cool" cuts next summer, I am just not sold on it. We love him anyways, and thank goodness hair grows back!

Beach Day

We went to Oceanside this weekend and spent some time at the beach. It was a little bit cooler than we had hoped for, but it was still a blast. The kids loved the sand and Kimball couldn't get enough of the ocean and chasing the seagulls. He insisted on getting in the water even though it was freezing. It was all dandy until he ate it a few times in the waves and we realized he was turning bright red and purple. Woopsie! Poor little guy was so cold. Kate enjoyed not only playing in the sand, but eating it as well, nice, I know.

Crazy Kid!!!

Disneyland

This was pretty much the highlight of Disneyland for Kimball. He loved seeing all of the character's, too bad the lines to get a picture with them was a mile long. We caught Goofy and Pluto just in time. We only had to throw a few elbows to get this shot.

Kimball was so excited to see Pluto that he hung on his leg for a good while. Pluto actually started walking away while Kimball was still holding on. Get the hint kid!


Kimball surprisingly wasn't scared of the Pirate's ride, good for us!

What is it with boy's and capes?

Aunt Holly sent Kimball some cool Batman p.j's for his birthday, and he hasn't taken them off since they arrived. I know, yikes! There is a cape attached and he runs around the house looking back to make sure that his cape is fluttering.He also has cute little conversations with Robin and yells, "To the Batcopter!" I love little boys!!!
