KIMMIE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!

June 26th, 2010. Kimmie turns 1!

Kimmie's first "cake."

 She seemed pretty excited to get her hands on some sweets!

We didn't get any pictures of the swim party, but she was so tired that she fell asleep right after we sang Happy Birthday.

After waking up she wasted no time digging into her cupcake.

Present time!

She seemed pretty excited with the new stuff! Thanks everybody!

But apparently the wrapping paper is what she was really excited about..

It seems she really likes strawberries as well. MMMM... Strawberries...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMIE! WE LOVE YOU!

June

June has been a really fun month. (And this blog post gets us nearly caught up!) Here are some random pics of the person we love the most! KIMMIE!

Kimmie just being cute in her PJs.

We just found out that Kimmie LOVES swinging! There's no quicker way to get a joyful squeal out of her than take her out back and push her in the swing.

 These pictures were so fun we had to include another!

After the swing we naturally had to take her down the slide! She was a little freaked out at first, but loves it now.

Kimmie loves to help Mommy in the yard. Now if we could just figure out how to keep her from eating the dirt...

May

Here are a collection of random pictures of Kimmie in May.

Kimmie and Mommy playing the piano. Kimmie loves to stand up in front of the piano, hit a few random keys and then turn around and laugh. She's so fun to watch.

 She is such a little poser. CHEESE!

 I rest my case. Look at her dimple! 

Little Kimmie loves playing with Mommy and REALLY loves being outside!

 FACT: She's pretty much the coolest kid ever.

A few months ago, she couldn't get out of that seat fast enough, now she loves climbing on/in/over it.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Aquarium

Ok, so this whole trip happened on the 5th of April and we're blogging about it on the 25th of May... Genius can't be rushed. This is a rather unusual blog post because I actually made it INTO the pictures rather than TAKING the pictures. Thanks Steph!

Kimmie and Daddy looking into the frog pond. YUCK!

Look Daddy! It's a REALLY ugly fish!

Hi Mommy! That fish is UGLY, I am what cute looks like!

Daddy and Kimmie enjoying the really pretty fish. We got a lot of smiles out of her at this tank.

Aunt Helena and Cousin Henry with Daddy and Kimmie trying to pet a live ray.

Ted, Kimmie, Cameron and Morgan.

To wrap things up I'm going to do a little plug for the Aquarium in Sandy. If you haven't gone, GO! Stephanie and I have been to two different aquariums in Hawaii over the past couple of years and although this aquarium isn't the largest, but rivals anything we've seen in Hawaii. Go visit our local treasure.

9 Month Pictures

All of these pictures are actually from the end of March when Kimmie hit 9 months. We're a little late, but we figured that you all would want to see them anyway!

I'm stuck! Little Kimmie has become quite the climber and she likes to go under/over/through just about anything that she can find. It's always fun to see what she'll get into next. (p.s. she did make it out by herself.)

 Apparently Kimmie has inherited her Daddy's cowlick. But it looks so much cuter on her. :)

 

 Kimmie LOVES her Mommy! Playtime is the best!

Happy girl!

 This has nothing to do with Kimmie, but it's the right time period and Daddy doesn't make the blog often enough. GO JAZZ!

Hawaii Part 2

We're seriously behind in our blog, but here is our attempt to catch you all up on what's been happening these past few months. We'll start by finishing up our Hawaii trip that we took in March. (Let the good times roll!)

 Kimmie first started to pull herself up in our hotel room. This is also where we first started dealing with her crawling around... EVERYWHERE!

Cute bug hat getting ready for a fun day in the sun!

 

 My first day on the beach. I'm way cuter than those chicks in the background. :)

  Splashing in the water with Mommy, oh what fun!

Mommy and Daddy got to swim with a REAL dolphin! (So did Uncle Scott and Aunt Jessie, but this blog isn't about THEM, it's about me, KIMMIE!)

 My family (Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me bring the dolphin home..)

We're so happy! Thanks for enjoying Hawaii with us!

Hawaii - The first 3 days

As a part of our new business venture Stephanie, Kimmie and I have the pleasure of traveling to Hawaii this year. Once Steph's parents heard about the trip, we all decided to turn it into a Smart family vacation. The trip goes from the 11th of March till the 22nd. On the 12th Steph's brother Scott and I went to take care of business so the rest of the trip we could relax and have fun! Below are the pictures from the first few days. We'll post more as we get them. :)

Kimmie enjoying our wonderful 6 hour flight.

The view outside our hotel room. You just can't beat Hawaii!

The view staring straight down. Yes, those are dolphins in the water!

Just in case you wanted to see more of the dolphins!

Kimmie enjoying her first afternoon in her home away from home.

This is about 15 feet from our breakfast table. She wasn't sure about the stiff grass, but she sure is cute!

Our little princess.

Kimmie found a new friend!

What do we do in Hawaii? SWIM!

This is the first time that Kimmie has stood up all by herself. (With a little help getting up of course.) 

She was standing better, but I couldn't get to the camera in time..

I think she looks like Tag in this photo, but that's just me. But you've got to admit that she's cute!

Kimmie enjoying her pink poodle ballon! I love my girls!

Grandma and Kimmie enjoying some sun!

My Eternal Princess!

On board the Dole Pineapple Express!

More photos to come as we go through the week!
