We will be returning very soon to Arizona and can't wait to see the rest of our family that we've missed so much!

My baby...

Lately I've been thinking about how I am truly in love with my son. I never knew motherhood would be this way. He laughs and smiles all day long, every single day. He makes me so happy.

Sea Cruise

Ah, the life. Beach views, lobster tail dinners, my skin turning red and annoying Japanese tourists. Dave and I had such a blast on our little cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. We left Kai with my parents...but really started to miss him at the end.







Have you been on a cruise? You should go! Here are the pros: Food, entertainment, beaches...all available and planned for you. Cons: constant rocking motion gets a little annonying. All it all, totally worth it and a great value!

Life from Kai's Point of View

Life is happy as usual around my house. It seems to drive my mom crazy that I terrorize the bookcase daily. But my dad can't wait for me to walk. Here are some recent happenings...

I got my first ear infection which has not been too fun.



We have been spending a lot of time with my cousin buddies. Cooper is my best buddy. (Even though he drools on my toys.)



Jemma is my other favorite. She is always a sucker for the old 'binkie snatch'.



But after I steal her binkie, she always gives me "the look". Women.

Wildlife World Zoo

We had a super fun time at the Wildlife World Zoo out in Goodyear...for the most part.



You can get so close the the animals there. Only a rope fence was separating these kangaroos from us!



We went as a surprise for my sister's birthday. (Call her quirky, she loves a good zoo.)






Little known fact, I LOVE flamingos.




Feeding the sting rays!


Cooper, Kai's litte buddy-cousin, was so good at the zoo!

Riverdance

You may not know this about me...I LOVE Riverdance. It may be the fact that my name is Irish, it may be the amazing music and dancing, or it may be the awesome leather pants.





This was their farewell tour so my mother took Kacie and I to see it at the Mesa Center for the Arts.

Do I Have to Exercise Now?

Check out the new jogging stroller that my mommy got. She got it because my daddy likes to take me on jogs. But mommy knows she needs to be jogging everyday, too. I don't think she likes exercise very much though, because she never really does it. At least I look cute in my new stroller.
