Tahoe Winter Wonderland!

We just got back from a wonderful 4-day trip to our family cabin in South Lake Tahoe. The first two days were just family time with Will, Kate and me. Kate spent most of her time playing with the cabin's doll house. Will and I enjoyed reading and relaxing...it actually felt like vacation! The weather was a beautiful 50 degrees and sunny. The last two days were joined with our bible study. We had total of 11 people (including 4 kids) at the cabin. We had so much fun hanging out with our friends! While I was napping Kate decided to pile all the doll house pieces on me.

My cuddle-bug!

"Oh! Snow!" Kate was very excited to walk in the snow. She had a lot of fun playing in the snow as long as she didn't have to touch it.

First breakfast with our friends.

We were trying to get a picture of all four girls but Kate refused to sit down and stop crying. She wanted to slide down the hill with Mommy more.

Kate and Rusty

Kate and Hazel

On Sunday, a huge snow storm hit Tahoe. There was tons of fresh snow! Thankfully it was really light snow so we didn't need to use chains to drive out.

Kate loved swinging with her friends.

Kate and Abby

Yesterday we had the pleasure of watching Kate's friend, Abby, for the afternoon. The girls got along great! Abby was very thrilled to play with all of Kate's balls and Kate was just thrilled to have a playmate!
Kate helped Abby eat her snack...she loved the raisins!

Story time! Here are just a few silly pictures from today...

Kate asked me to put all her barrettes in her hair. I think we might start a new fashion trend.

Kate got mad at me for taking her picture since she wanted to hold the camera and see the pictures of "Keet!"

She is just too cute!

Kate woke up at 5:55am this morning and so to kick-start our day I made us some waffles. This is what you get an hour later when you give a toddler some syrupy waffles.

Priceless!

Kate loves watching videos of herself. She will go around the house asking "Keet? Keet?" If we tell her "no" then she gets very sad.

A couple pics

Kate asked to be put in her Mega Blocks bin with her blocks piled on top of her. She is so silly!
Kate was reading Annie "If You Give a Pig a Party." Kate's favorite part is finding the cat on most of the pages...she calls the cat "me-me" (named after Annie).

Coming the summer....

Kate will become a big sister at the end of the summer. My due date is August 22....my birthday! We are VERY excited to welcome this little baby into our family!

Fun with a scarf

Once a week or so Kate and I go to our local library for story time. It is 30 minutes long and we sing songs, recite rhymes and have playtime with either musical instruments or scarves. This past week they pulled out the scarves and Kate had a wonderful time putting it over her head.

Kate's friend, Hazel joined us for story time and had a fun time with her scarf too! Will likes to do headstands occasionally (I think it helps him feel young). Kate loves watching Will do his handstands and so the other day Will helped her do her very own.

Kate loves the computer!

Diaper Daredevils

Today was Kate's first day at Diaper Daredevils. It is a toddler gymnastics program through the City of Davis. The kids can play on all the gymnastic equipment for 30 minutes, twice a week. Kate wasn't too interested in exploring all of the activities today. She mainly enjoyed the slide, building a tower and playing in the balls. She actually cried at the end when I had to pull her out of the balls. I think it will become her favorite place to play!
