So......this is going to be the longest post of all time.

Greetings all! I know it has been MONTHS since my last post, but I have a perfectly legitimate excuse: I lost our camera chord and therefore could not upload adorable pictures of Kale. And really, no one wants to read these posts unless they include adorable pictures of Kale. And so, now that the camera chord has finally been located, a new post may come forth!

Alright, so A LOT has happened since the last post. I will update by pictures and maybe add more as I remember things.

For Christmas, Tyler's dad gave Kale this adorable little suit and this was the first time he could fit into it. And may a just say, what a studly pair of boys I have :)

 I took Kale to an indoor pool in Lehi where my friend, Brittany Crumback, works. We went with my sister-in-law Realyn and her daughter Sadie. It was so much fun! Kale loves being in the water, and these baby swings were just the thing for him. He just chilled while I pushed him and he observed the other kids that were playing.

This is the outfit Nana Gerber sent to Kale for St. Patrick's Day. It has little froggy feet! We didn't do anything special for St. Patrick's Day, but I you best believe I wore my green!

 My little guy makes the cutest faces and has the cutest clothes!

This is Kale's Easter outfit. I love the sweater vest!

Family Easter Picture :)

So for my mom's birthday I sent a picture  of Kale to her, so of course I had to do the same for my dad! 

Tyler had to go up to Ogden with the track team for a meet and Kale and I wen with him. So, I decided that since we were up there we might as well get a picture by the wildcat of my parents' alumni.  

Kale goes wherever he wants now. He's very crafty. I try to use things, like boxes, to keep him out of stuff, but he always manages to find a way to get through the barriers. 

My first Mother's Day!

Sometimes, we like to take Kale to the park. He doesn't like the grass, so we lay out a blanket for him. It's hilarious to watch him go all the way to the edge of the blanket and then stop. He's started trying to eat the grass but he still won't go out on it.

Kale just loves to be outside. He loves to watch the other kids at the park and the cars that drive by. He's just super curious!

Yup, Kale can stand up all by himself!

Look at those big blue eyes!

Daddy helped him climb a tree!

Best. Picture. Ever. ( It only took like 5 tries before we got this one)

We took Kale to the aquarium in Sandy. He really liked it, but he was more
interested in the other kids that were there than the animals.

Penguins!!

Momma and Kale just bein a little goofy.

My grandma stopped to visit us on her way home from my my cousin's baby blessing.
It was so awesome to see her!

So, Tyler and I went looking for something to do besides watch T.V. and we came up with the idea of a puzzle. We found this one and loved it. We put it together in about a week, glued it, and framed it. Now, it's in Kale's room. :)

Happy Fourth of July! Kale kept blinking when I took his picture, but he still looks cute! Unfortunately he was sick for the Fourth. He had a fever all day and a INSANELY runny nose. I felt so bad for the poor little guy. His fever broke at about 6 PM so we figured the worst was over. However, at about 4 A.M. his fever shot sky high so we took him to the E.R. Turns out, he had croup. When the doctor told us my first thought was, oh, like Diana's little sister in Anne of Green Gables! They gave him some medicine that was to help his throat relax, and the next day Tyler's mom was nice enough to bring us a humidifier for him. He's doing better now, but still a little sick. The poor guy has lost his voice! And he's also passed his sickness on to his mommy. But we'll make it through, right? Needless to say, it was an interesting Fourth of July.

At the beginning of June we went on a family vacation to....IOWA!!!! 

It was so great. I loved being able to see my family and friends. It was the best to watch my parents be grandparents. They are just so adorable with Kale, and I'm so grateful for how much they love him.

We took Kale to the Anamosa pool and went down the slide with him. I totally biffed it at the bottom of the slide. Tyler did a much better job with him :)

We also took him to the Lost Island water park up in Cedar Falls. It wasn't quite warm enough though, so Kale only played in the water for a little bit.

Uncle Dain the lifeguard! Kale would just stare at Dain. They would have staring contests, Kale usually won. Kale is so loved by so many people!

Also, on our trip to Iowa, I got to see my two best friends in the entire world! (Brittney May and Alison Yanda) I couldn't believe that everything worked out that way. I was so happy to see them and ecstatic for them to meet my little boy.

Well, that's just about it. Now, we're just focusing on finding a place to live in Washington and getting all our stuff packed up. I'm really going to try to be better about posting regularly, 

but we'll see how that goes!
