I decided that she needed some toys for outside so i went and got her a car, which come to find out i had to put together.... THIS WAS INTERESTING

She wanted to help so bad everytime i had to hammer or screw something she would try to grab it and do it herself. We left it a convertable until kurt gets home since i couldnt get the top to go on it was much more difficult than it looked.

one of her new favorite games is to put on my shoes and walk around the house
as you can tell i only have a few months left until she and the dogs are in and out all day long....
So as most everyone is aware we are expecting a baby boy in decemeber. My due date is christmas, and we have no idea what we are going to name him, but cailyn is going to be a great big sister.

July

Kurt and i decided to go to denver to see the braves play the rockies. We left on thursday and came back yesterday. It was a fun but busy weekend, we decided to drive to that we could stop along the way. It was neat to see everything and colorado is gorgeous. When we got to denver we decided to go the friday night game as well as the saturday game it was so cool to see them play at the field. We went shopping and on a tour of a old historic gold mine which was really interesting. We also got to meet up with one of my oldest and best friends for dinner since she lives there. It was so nice to see her, and her family (i wish i would have taken some pictures). We had a wonderful time seeing everything. But as always it was nice to come home and see Cailyn and the dogs.

(the pictures are backwards so this first one was on the way home and the last one was on the way there)



(we ran into a sleet storm on the way home. The temp outside was 43 degrees)
(this was the gold mine. It was really interesting to hear the history of it)
We were going gold panning.. gotta love the hard hats
(this is the real reason i like baseball... )
(it was funny to watch the grounds crew, it took 6 people to water the in field and they couldn't walk on the part that was already wet)
Me and kurt at the game (not the most flattering picture)
batting practice
This was from the game on friday night. The batter hit a line drive and it hit the back of the pitchers leg. We found out the next day that it had actually broken it and he will have to have surgery and wont play for at least the rest of the season
We had a rain delay and it was the neatest thing to watch the ground crew roll out and roll back up this huge tarp.

this was marble Colorado. It was a cool little town that had huge chunks of marble everywhere. this is actually looking into the back of the mine. the white stuff is mostly marble
Back to the 4th of the july... we had so much fun. Kim and i took cailyn to the park to watch the parade which she loved!! Then we had the family over for a bbq and lit fireworks. Cailyn loved the fireworks, she kept trying to run out into the street to play with them.

summer fun

For Cailyn's birthday she got this water play mat, its really cute so we decided to take cailyn out and play with it. She loved it, she would sit on it and splash and play with the water.

dad was playing with her hair

she was watching the dogs drink out of it so she decided to try.


they are so good with her, the just sat next to it and watched her oh and of course drank out of it.

we took her to get her one year pictures done i know were a little late but oh well.

zoo

For cailyns birthday we decided to go to the zoo on monday. She loved all the animals but got bored after about an hour or so.

1st birthdays are stressful

Well we made it, the first year is over. I cant believe how fast the time has gone. Her birthday was an adventure she has so fun, she loves to entertain and loves the attention. She had fun playing with the kids and ruining her cake. Thank you to everyone who came we are very lucky to have such good friends and family.








She loves the cake. She would pick off the frosting and when everyone would laugh she would laugh. she had so much fun and loves cake.

stitches

So cailyn had to get her first set of stitches last night. It was so sad. I had just put her pj's on and she was heading toward her bedroom while i made her a bottle. the next thing i know i hear a loud thud and she just started screaming. when i got to her i just figured she fell but then i picked her up and her left eye brow was bleeding pretty bad. I had my father and sister -inlaw come look at it because i was worried she would need stitches. They came over and told me it would be best to take her in. So i took her up and made kurt meet me there. Well they said it was too big to just glue so she ended up getting three stitches. It was so sad but she did really well. Here are a couple pictures of her. she moves so much its hard to get a good one.
