Christmas in Utah and Also January and February....


Well, now that February is almost over,
I thought some pictures
from our Christmas vacation might 
be an appropriate blog post.
I've been postponing because I wanted
to get the pictures Tyler took 
on his phone on here,
but it's a big pain to do that
and I'm in super lazy mode due to the
new 24/7 job I have of growing
a human being.
No biggie.
Anyway, here are the pictures:

First up is Kale enjoying bath time
with his two adorable cousins,
Sadie and Allie.
I seriously think that Allie looks like she could 
be Kale's sister.


Nana and Grandpa Gerber got Kale
a little Tablet for Christmas
(which he calls his Kindle).
He LOVES it and was really good
about sharing it with Sadie.


Had to snatch a picture of how 
cute Allie is.


We had Kale open up a present
on Christmas Eve while we 
were at Grandma Pam's house.


Cousin Addy and Aunt Laura
were happy to cheer when he FINALLY
got all the wrapping paper off.


And then Kolby and Addy proceeded
to attack their Uncle Tyler.


Playing Name Ten Candy Bars.
Classic. Uncle. Move.


Kale's new pajamas!
and a flashlight...


Christmas morning was at 
Grandpa Pat's house.
Grandpa Pat spoiled Kale.
And Tyler.
And Me.
What a great grandpa!






Merry Christmas!


Grandma Pam had all the grandkids 
over for a little Christmas party
and they all got cute
little stuffed animals.
As a side note, Kale LOVES Josh.


So...that was Christmas!
Obviously a lot more happened
because we were there for 17 days.
Tyler and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary.
Shane and Rea watched Kale for us
while we went to dinner
at P.F. Changs with my brother Kyle and his
FIANCE Heather. 
(They weren't engaged at the time
but now they are.)

We got home in time to celebrate
Tyler's 27th birthday.
I made him Gyoza and I just took 
a picture because the table looked nice.
Go me.


So it took a while, but Ellensburg
finally got some snow.
Naturally, Kale and I went to play in it.



Kale is the WORST snowball 
fighter ever.
He is also the CUTEST snowball
fighter ever.


And like any other normal kid,
all he really wanted to do was
eat the snow....

Look how cute we are!

A few days later the snow was gone
and it was kinda nice out.
So we went out to ride
Kale's bike.
But Kale was more interested
in putting rocks and pinecones
in his "trunk."





And, of course, he remembered
his beloved game of sending
cars down the slide.





Monday was my mom's birthday!
And I made this little collage
and sent it to her on her
birthday, so it's not like I forgot.
Now, I'll share it here:


It recently snowed again here.
Kale and I went out and 
made a little snowman.
 

Look at those beautiful
blue eyes!!
 

A few weeks ago my friend
stopped by to get some 
swim diapers from me and so 
Kale got a little upset that we
weren't going swimming.
So....I put him in some underwear,
filled up the tub,
added some blue food coloring
to make it look like
the pool,
and gave him as many toys as he wanted.
He loved it.
 


I have recently discovered that
Facebook is magic.
There have been more than one
occasion where I have 
expressed my desire for a certain food,
and then someone brings it to me!
It's amazing.
My most recent experience produced this
incredible cake:
 

Seriously, I have the nicest
friends out here.
I don't know how I always
manage to be friends
with the best sorts
of people,
I won't complain!

Okay, we are all caught up 
on pictures!!
On a side note, 
the pregnancy is going great.
I'm starting to show
and Baby Girl is quite
the little mover.
No, we have not agreed on 
a name.
It is likely that won't happen until
after she is born.
We are excited to add her
to our little family!
