Merry Christmas!

A house near us with a Christmas light show

No go I guess

I really wanted Kaelin to comment on this post, but apparently she is just too busy. So enjoy what is here. We had a nice day with good weather and I decided today was the day. She has put it off long enough. It was delayed a little because her bike chain was too rusted, so after a quick trip to the BX and some handy man work by "Captain Mustachio" (BTW March is Mustache Madness) Kaelin was on her way.


Her first try I missed because being so large and in charge as I am, in my pregnant state, I walked too slow and missed it so this is attempt #2.

Azore Flowers

Daisies and mommy taking the picture.


These are cool flowers.


These are like honey suckles.




These are cool pictures of palm trees



This is a "pineapple" palm tree




This is birds of paradise




These are pretty purple flowers




These are more pretty flowers




These are not flowers that have petals.




These are dandelions
(note from Mom: tell me is I'm wrong, don't these look different in the states? These have really cute square petals. )

Congratulations!

Congratulations Jayden for losing your first tooth! I miss you so much! My mom is coming to give you a picture that I made for you. Have a happy springtime!!

Kaelin's presents

Usually Kaelin tells me what to type but today I'll take over.

A tie-dye dress
pyramid o' markers
twistable colored pencils
Spider-Man activity/coloring book
3-D bubbles, which I'm kind of confused about because aren't bubbles already 3-D
Strawberry shortcake stuffed doll
Stencils
Cute, (knitted or crocheted I really don't know) hat
scrapbooking bag full of supplies
new markers
a paint brush to go with a paint with water book ( I loved those as a kid)
a couple new tag books
and a Spider-Man watch, which since placing it on her wrist she has never taken it off and is constantly telling us the time. When she realized how late she was for bedtime she raced down stairs and got into her jammas faster than I have ever seen her do it before. When it comes to night time she dilly dallies worse than anyone.


Well, Happy birthday Kaelin!

finally a new one

My blog is COOL! I look cool in this picture. Grandma Carlsen gave me a lady bug hat for Christmas and why I like it is because it has cuts, so I wear it sometimes to school. I'm learning about 'N'. I really like my toothpaste because it tastes minty. I like question marks. I like Emma, Jayden and Heidi and I miss them. Mrs. Evans is cool, she's my teacher. She is the coolest. The family goes to McDonalds on Mondays.


I love Brandi's house. She likes me. Kaelin likes an art room. Now I have a special room and I have to put Sean's poster name thing on his closet door so everyone knows that he can let everyone in. I love Brandi.

Family Reunion

This is Kaelin's mom, I have to mention that we only took out our camera on the last night there and gave it to Kaelin to entertain herself while we were chatting. She of course took pictures of flowers but was able to snap a few pictures of her cousins. When I saw few I really mean it. She only got 6 out of 16 ( please correct me if I counted wrong) We definitely slacked in the photo department. Anyway, she has been asking me every day to post these for her. So here you go, K

Zoo pictures

Leave it to Kaelin to go to the zoo and only want pictures of the flowers.


I like flowers! I want to love flowers forever and ever. We took these pictures at the zoo. My favorite color of flowers is purple.

New haircut

Kaelin got a haircut and she wanted to post it on her blog.


I love it and it feels good in the back! Thank you Shauna for getting me a haircut. We played, we had Popsicles, we played in the shed and made cakes. And I watched a Care Bear movie with and ugly round guy and a red space girl.

For Papa Moore

This video is mostly for Papa Moore since, he asked for it but to everybody else I hope you enjoy. In reality I think she swims better than this video exhibits. Shauna would have to be the real judge of that. Whenever she sees that I'm taping, she asks all helpless. I've been really impressed with her skills and speed. But tell her to go swimming and then she reverts back to the doggy paddle. I don't get it. Here you go Dad! You can also hear Savanna say "Go,go" That's her most common phrase.

Kaelin: Papa Moore this is me swimming. I love you Papa Moore and we'll see you for Savanna's birthday. Savanna will be turning one when you come.

Deep End

This is a video of me swimming for my swim lesson. That we have put on my blog. I like my swim lessons and I'm learning the butterfly soon. Shauna is the best teacher of swim lessons.

My invention

This is my invention that I made so Savanna can't get in and it works. I tried the first time but it didn't work very good. As soon as she came over she stretched it off.


A note from Mom: We bought a child lock but it repeatedly comes off. As you can see in the video. I don't think it agrees with the humidity of our house. I put on a movie and went to start working in the kitchen then, Kaelin let out a huge "YES!" and I went to check it out. I think it's pretty ingenious. Savanna doesn't like it very much *BTW its an old Care Bear movie they are watching.

Family Game Night

We had family game night and we had fun. We had a good day. I decided to build and tower and I kept building until it got tall enough and long enough.


This one is Sean's tower.


We had fun with it! One more thing, I like a unicorn and Sean's favorite color is blue. My favorite color is every color in the rainbow and my favorite thing for me to do is.....eat cherries, that's my favorite food, and catch butterflies. Now I am all done.

Controlling, Compromising Ideas

Anything in purple is written by myself, Mom. All else is word for word from Kaelin, including the title. Enjoy!

This is my puppet, that's really fun because Momma made it for when Sean cracked it open and juice was spilling out of it. I have pictures around the puppet show of dinosaurs and dinosaur footprints and snakes and the colorful one is way back when the dinosaurs lived.


This invention can hold pepper. It doesn't have a hole on the bottom. My parents didn't use it very often.


This invention can put pepper, salt, water, and ice, and peanut butter, and sugar, brown sugar and potato sauce (I asked her what potato sauce was and she said it's gravy). You put the food down the straw and then dump it out of the cup.


These are all my stars that Sean and me found on my bookshelf. Why I'm up on my bed is so that I can toss them down like raining stars. And I love STARS, STARS, STARS!!!



This is Savanna riding this giraffe with the pirate hat on her. She loves to smile at us and she's very cute because we give her lots of love and hugs and kisses. We eat breakfast when she wakes up sometimes.

Christmas Pictures from St. Louis

This is me looking at my presents and Sean looking at his presents.


Now I opened my presents and I see what they all were. I got lots of different things, including more stuff for my doll house.



This is my mom's family and we are at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. It is really tall and we got to go up it and we saw all the cars below and we saw everything.


This is my mom's family and my family in St. Louis. We're all together as loving give hugs, I love Brandi, Gaga, Jayme, Marci, Cory, Papa Moore, Stephen, Sean, Daddy, Momma, and Savanna. We all love each other.

Update

I'm going to put up more pictures.




This is Marci and Savanna that I took with my new, brand new camera that Gaga gave me. Savanna is very talented at nursing.


This is Cory and Savanna. That's Marci's husband and Cory loved playing silly games with us.



This is my picture with my new Spiderman jacket that Brandi gave me and my new doggy shirt that Brandi gave me.


This is Sean's dinosaur shirt and he is holding his new lion from Gaga.




This is Brandi with Sean's green balloon and Brandi loves us so much that she gives us squeeze hugs.

St. Louis Trip

This is a picture of Jayme (my Aunt) and Stephen and Savanna.


This picture is called Tye-Dye and I made it with my new Crayola light-brush that I got from Santa.


This is a picture of my family that I took in St. Louis, all by myself.

This is a picture of Spiderman because I love him. My camera pictures are a little fuzzy but it's mine so I'm excited to use it.
