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!
