Here's some recent pics of Kylee. This diva loves to smile for the camera!

Kylee's first birthday party

2009-01-04T17:35:00.000-08:00

We had friends and family over to celebrate Kylee's first birthday. She wasn't quite sure what to do with her princess cake. She was more excited about walking in the grass barefoot.

Kaden turned 6 and Kylee turned 1.

More summer fun....

2009-01-04T12:26:00.000-08:00

We went to the beach, had a couple picnics and BBQ's, went to Winona to see my parents and my niece Ivy, went out on our friend Doug's boat, went to the pool and had our annual summer party. I'm enjoying the last couple of weeks before I go back to work.

Birthday time.....

2009-01-04T12:11:00.000-08:00

Kaden wanted to do a

pool party/bonfire/sleepover for his birthday party this year. So we set up a few kiddie pools and water toys and had some water balloon fights in the front yard. Then we moved to the back to BBQ and let the kids run around and play before a few of the kids went home. Once it started getting dark, Jay started a bonfire so the kids could roast some marshmellows and make S'mores. Delicious! By 10p, the kids were wiped and ready for bed. They kids all camped in the tent in the back yard.

No training wheels....

2009-01-04T12:06:00.000-08:00

Kaden is not a little boy anymore and he has quite the personality. He'll be turning 6 at the end of July so we convinced him it was time to take the training wheels off his bike. Jay took them off, and within 5 minutes, he was riding fine and asked when he could learn some cool tricks. Good thing he's still wearing his helmet because I expect some falls when he's practicing his new "tricks". He asked if he could get a dirt bike because that's what the cool kids ride.

Hockey fans

I think I got a couple little hockey fans. Too bad we are still on the waiting list for our Wild season tickets.

Kaden and Kylee updates

2009-01-04T11:53:00.000-08:00

It's been a little rainy so we haven't been to the pool once. Kylee is getting bigger every day and can walk with her push toy or if she's hanging onto the couch, but can't quite do it on her own yet. Kaden is enjoying his little sister more now that they can play together. He loves to gently wrestle with her.

Summer is finally here

2009-01-04T11:39:00.000-08:00

Once we got back from Maui, I finished up a few things at work and now I'm off for the summer. Looking forward to spending time with the kids....but not looking forward to our bathroom project. We are completely gutting our main bathroom. Luckily, we have another downstairs. We are hoping to have this huge project done in 6 weeks. It only took Jay about 2 days to demo the bathroom. Then he put in new insulation, the new tub, and started tiling the floor. Of course there were some issues, but with our luck, we totally expected that.

Maui in May

2009-01-04T11:31:00.000-08:00

I have gotten way behind with my posts. I've had the pictures saved that I wanted to use, but not a free minute to post them. So I will start updating you now for the last several months of 2008.

May was a great month. I got to go to Maui for two weeks for work, and then Jay come out and we stayed for another week. Of course, the weather was fabulous. The kids stayed with Grandma Judy and Papa Doug and they were well taken care of. Kaden had such a great time, he didn't want to come home. The first picture is from our room and the second picture is at our pool. Can life get any better........

I wanna be a cowgirl...............

2008-04-09T14:49:00.000-07:00

Ok....We've been really busy lately so sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Kaden thought he'd be nice and let his sister where his cowboy hat, even though she was more interested in eating it. Kylee's not crawling yet, but she does push herself backwards and roll all around the living room. Kaden is excited for the hockey playoffs to start......he's a HUGE Wild fan. Of couse, Gaborik is his favorite player. Hopefully the Wild will go all the way this year. Enjoy the pic.......

My Superhero...........

2008-02-01T11:36:00.001-08:00

It's a bird..............It's a plane.............It's Super Kaden!!!! My what big muscles you have.

She's almost flipped over....

2008-02-01T11:12:00.000-08:00

Kylee is soooo close to rolling over. She tries for a minute or two but then starts crying and just puts her head on the floor and tries to eat the carpet.

She doesn't care too much for laying on her stomach or back....she'd much rather be in her bouncey thingy or watching Kaden do silly dances.

All bundled up and ready to go...................

What a happy baby....

2008-02-01T10:50:00.000-08:00

I think Kylee really likes getting her picture taken. She always smiles when I pull out the camera.

And aren't these the cutest baby socks you've ever seen???? Totally looks like she's wearing little Mary Jane's. I love 'em.

Christmas 2007

2007-12-28T14:01:00.000-08:00

My family came up to celebrate Christmas at our house this year. Kylee got to upen her very first Christmas present.

My niece Ivy got a new winter hat. So cute! But isn't she adorable in the Santa hat.

After opening all our gifts, Josh tried to tire the kids out but I think he was the one that was tired out!

The weather was really crappy outside so we stayed home and played with our new toys. Nicole and Josh took advantage of all the snow and headed to Wisconsin to do some snowboarding.

Packer fan????

2007-12-28T07:31:00.001-08:00

What's this???? Is Jay switching teams???? No, he just lost a bet at work so his boss bought him this jersey and made him wear it to work. My dad would be so proud!

This is how Jay really feels.............................

Malecki's wedding

2007-12-28T07:01:00.001-08:00

Congrats to the Kroggy's! Kristina Malecki and Eric Krogstad were married on Dec. 8. Very nice ceremony and great reception at Jax Cafe in Minneapolis. The happy couple will be honeymooning in Hawaii. Aloha!

The food was awesome! Lots of drinking and dancin' going on.

Cutest little elves.....

2007-12-06T13:05:00.000-08:00

Aren't they sooooo cute! I wonder how much longer Kaden will let me take pictures of him wearing silly hats?

Snow...what snow?

2007-12-06T09:19:00.000-08:00

Kylee wasn't nearly as excited about the snow. She was more interested in snuggling with daddy on the couch.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow........

2007-12-06T08:53:00.000-08:00

My first post to our family blog. How exciting!!!

Speaking of excitement, I don't think Jay was too excited to shovel all the snow.

However, Kaden could hardly wait to get outside to play and make snow angels. Even when he was shivering, he said he was having fun. Oh, to be a kid again.......
