The Big Girl Bed

About a week ago Aaron put together Kali's little toddler bed that she'll hopefully sleep in once the new baby takes over her crib. Since then, she has been OBSESSED with it, and spends all her spare time laying on it with her baby doll, or sitting on it flipping through a book.



Any time I walk in on her with her new bed she jumps up like this and starts laughing with joy. Its hilarious. Just thought you should know.

The Room

The last few weeks Aaron has spent nearly all of his free time giving Kali's room a makeover. We wanted to clean out all the junk, paint the walls, and spruce it up. In my opinion Aaron accomplished all that and more, so I have to show off his hard work.

Pre Aaron Makeover


It was difficult for Aaron to remove the Tombstone poster (his all time fav. movie) seen above, but it now hangs in our bedroom.

The Cruise: Part 2

Onto the second half of the cruise... Above is a picture of our little group swimming in Paradise. When I say Paradise, I am of course referring to the beach off of the Mayan ruins in Mexico.

This picture of us at dinner one night captures Aaron's beautiful motion-sickness
patch which he came to love so dearly.

Kortney, Chase, Aaron, Me, Kristen, Kristen, Al, and Sean at our 3rd port in Belize. This was my favorite part of the whole week. We took a van out to the jungle, were handed inner-tubes and headlamps, and floated down a gorgeous river through mile-long caves.

This is some of us at the mouth of a cave

It was so pretty when the light came pouring in

Our last port of the trip was in Cozumel Mexico. We actually didn't even see a lot of the island because we immediately took a ferry over to the main land where we drove out to the Mayan ruins there. This is the beautiful beach at the dock where we swam while waiting for our driver.

Here are just a few of the ruins

This is not a fake picture! This was taken from Kristen's camera which is better than mine. It really was that gorgeous! After this shot was taken we all jumped in the water which is where we swam in 'Paradise'.

Howdy

For Halloween Kali rocked a little cowgirl outfit and LOVED trick or treating. Every time someone opened a door to her, she would take the candy and try to sneak by them and into their living rooms. She probably could have gone all night if we let her.
