Kayla's Pics

Here are the pictures of Kayla. She definitely knows how to shine for the camera. Everytime the photographer said "cheese", she would sure ham it up. I'm definitely a biased mom, but I think the photos turned out great.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes

So, just when you think it's safe to go outside, the volcano goes off again. Luckily, we have only had ashfall once here in Anchorage. (Yes, Lisa, I am still alive.) Now to make matters worse, we had a 4.7 earthquake. It sounded like someone hit the office building and then the ground began to shake. Just about the time I was thinking about jumping under the desk, it all stopped.
What's next? Pestilence? Famine? At least the sun is out and shining. There is only about a foot of snow left on the ground and my flowers are starting to come out. Yeah!

Little Leprechaun

Kayla had a great day at school on St. Patricks Day. Every holiday they make different costumes in all the classes and then have a parade. Kayla came home wanting to model the latest in pre-school leprechaun wear.

Happy 3rd Birthday Kayla!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kayla!!

Kayla had a week long celebration for her birthday. She celebrated it with Daddy a couple days early, as he had to go back to work. She then made cupcakes with Mommy to take to school. Then she had a birthday party in her class. And finally, had a birthday dinner with Kimmie and Ashley. Oh, it's good to be 3.

Or, maybe not. 3 means more creative, more interested in the world around, and generally, more into things. This is what happens when you leave a 3-year old in a room by herself for 15 minutes!

Florida

Finally I am getting around to putting some photos up of Florida. We had a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Kayla got sick quite sick while we were there, but she held up like a trooper.

Kayla loved going to the beach and playing in the sand.

Much deserved ice cream on a warm winter day. It was hard to believe that it was still the middle of winter. We enjoyed every moment outside that we could.

At the Tampa Aquarium. Kayla loved looking at all the different fish and birds.
