Grandmas visit in October

Grandma Janice came down again for another week. We got to have an early Thanksgiving dinner, go to the pumpkin patch and Kai got to have some alone time with grandma. It was great having her here and we appreciate all she does for us!

A great friend of mine took these photos a while back of the kids. Thank you MJ!

So in love....

We are using this blog to share our lives with our friends and family but also so we can keep track of our lives and all the wonderful things that take place.

I just have to share this so one day I can look back and read it.

The joy, happiness and love that Kalea & Kai have brought to our lives is something I can't even explain. It's truly the BEST feeling in the world to have two beautiful healthy children. Our new home has just made our lives so complete with love and comfort. The only thing Cory and I want to do is be at home together with our children.... We'll remember this when they are teenagers arguing over silly things and when times are tough. "All we need is love " is so true!

Cory's middle school threw us a diaper baby shower. We are so thankful for all the gifts and diapers. 

Kalea is 7weeks old and doing wonderful! She sleeps 6-7 hrs a night and us a happy little baby.
