Christmas 2009 in Colorado!

So we ventured our for the 9 1/2 hr drive across the boring state of Kansas on Dec 22. We ran into a snow/ice storm and got stuck in Colby, Kansas, they had the highway closed. So we spend the night and were on our way to Boulder on Dec 23. We made it there around 2pm or so. Karli was a great traveler, other than she was sick of being in her carseat when we were headed back to KC..she did great otherwise! She pretty much slept most of the time. Below is a pic of the Ice Bar that Davo worked very hard on, it was awesome!

Mom got her a Butter Kitty! Also the exersaucer, she loves it!

We had a wonderful Christmas and were so blessed to get to see most of all the family! Dad and Ash came to KC the weekend before Christmas, then we went to CO to see Mom and Davo, then Gregs parents came to KC for New Years! We are so thankful for our family, thank you all for everything! We love you and Miss you!

5 Months Old!

Happy 5 Month Birthday Miss Karli!!

It seems like yesterday she was this big!

We don't know what we would do without her! She is such a happy girl and loves her Mommy and Daddy, as well as the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins! :) We are looking forward to Christmas and seeing her try to eat the wrapping paper!

She came up to work on Sunday and we weighed her....18 1/2 lbs! :) She is a healthy little chunk!

Such a Happy Baby!

Well I think we got lucky with such a happy easy going little girl! She is becoming a blabber mouth and just gives the gummiest grin! We can't get enough of this smile!





Can't believe Christmas is in 1 week! Karli has no idea but she just smiles and stares at the Christmas tree!

So its 1230am..I can't sleep..work was getting busy tonight. I am still up in the air about a babysitter. It's hard, exp when you dont know anyone, and then you are leaving your baby with them. She is our world and we want to find the right person. I am hoping God will help me in this. Maybe it isn't the right time to go to days and to not put Karli in daycare, but then again maybe it is. I don't know..but I do know everything will work out..it always does!

I will post some pics later this weekend. Dad and Ash are coming to town tomorrow!! Hopefully I will get some good ones of Karli trying to open presents!
