Kelsey's One!!!

Opening presents!


Reading her B-day cards with dad

All smiles

I love ducks! And this one is just my style:)

Who says I am too young to drive?

Grandpa, giving me my first driving lesson

Grandma sure makes me laugh!

Dad, if you touch my belly I will laugh just like the bear!

CAKE!!!

Oh my, this stuff is good!

Singing the birthday tunes

Sharing with dad

This stuff smears better than all that healthy food mom!

Birthday cake - a duck of course. This was so much fun to make!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we had our annual croquet tournament at Justin's uncle home. Here are some fun pics of the day.


Grandma's entertaining Kelsey...or was it the other way around?...


Kelsey supervising, making sure no cheating was taking place.



Having fun

Cheering on dad!

Isn't this how everyone eats oranges?

Is he going to get it in...

Yep! Score!



We had sooo much fun! Thanks Mark and Debby!

Life in Spokane

Justin and I visited Spokane again in November. My mom's recovery is slow, but she is doing well. Here is Kelsey being pushed around in an old blue cart. I love how both she and mom have the same expression on their faces!

We celebrated my dad's birthday while up there. He and Kelsey opening presents together.




I got to catch up with one of my dear friends Sara-Jo and meet the newest addition to their family LeLe.

Lele, smiling for the camera:)

So Kelsey had never experienced the "cold" much until Spokane. She looks like an escimo in her big winter coat and wool hat, but oh how she loved the leaves!

Lindsay Came to Visit!!

In October we had an unexpected weekend where Lindsay came to visit. She needed a little sunshine and we needed some wonderful fellowship. You might think by the pictures that we spent all our time at the beach...we did go to Venice and Zuma...but we also had a bolba trip, made some fun salsas and experimented with a new chicken dish. We loved having you Linds. I can't wait to have my turn visiting Montana.

Learning to Eat...By Herself

Not sure if she got more in her mouth or on her face, but she sure had fun!

Fun at Lunch

Fall Retreat

We recently had our Fall Retreat for UCLA down in Huntington Beach. Kelsey was so excited for the weekend she helped mama pack.

Upon returnign home, Kelsey wanted to also help "fold" the laundry, and refold the laundry, and refold the laundry...

A day at Balboa Park

This was the cutest thing ever. Kelsey would reach down and pull out grass. She would than proceed to applaud herself and bounce up and down.

9 month pictures

While in Spokane my sis organized a mini photo shoot for Kelsey's 9 month graduation. Here are a fun few shots from our time.

Exploring grass

Not so sure about this stuff...

I love my greens!!

Spokane Trip #2

The day after getting home from Vancouver, I flew out to Spokane again. My mom went into the hospital unexpectedly. The Lord is kind. She is slowly regaining her health and is coming home Wednesday from rehab.

Kelsey made a big step in crawling while I was there - stairs!
