Extra Treat!

Whoa! 2 posts in one day? Don't worry this one is short and sweet.
I took these pictures this weekend just because I thought she looked so dang cute! Don't you agree?




Fit For A Princess

Here are the promised Nursery pics. I love the way it turned out but I need to hang more stuff!

Her extensive bow collection. You gotta do something with that hair!

Cute little nightlight that one of my friends gave me. Matches perfectly!

Lots of laundry happens with this little one around!


Her bedding up close

Her closet with lots of clothes and a cute pink dresser from IKEA

This bookshelf is already overflowing with books and toys. We'll have to move some out into the Gameroom pretty soon.

Dresser, def need to hang something over that!

The Glider with pillow that matches the bedding

My favorite! The beautiful crib.

Plaques that Aunt Megan bought! I wanted to do something different besides wooden letters.


Thanks for checking back =)
On a side note, SOOOOOOO glad I am not having to return to work in 2.5 weeks!

First Family Vacation

We are back from our first family vacation with Kate and it was great! Zac, Kate and I drove to Florida to stay at an amazing condo in Destin owned by our wonderful friend Judy (Susan's mom). We got to meet David, Susan's 2nd baby, spend time with Reagan, swim at the pool, lay out at the beach, eat great seafood and hang out on the beautiful balcony overlooking the gulf.

I didn't do as good a job as I would have liked taking pictures, but what else is new? I didn't get any of Kate on the beach, we only took her out there one day and I was so busy trying to keep sunblock on her and sand and salt water off her that I just didn't get a chance to snap any pics. Next summer when we go to NC and she's a year and a half old I promise I will get some good ones.

After, Destin my mom and I drove up the east coast to go visit my grandparents (Kate's great grandparents). It was a great visit but slightly complicated by the fact that apparently Kate is going through a stage where she only takes 30 minute naps every so often in the car. Needless to say that made the 40+ hours in the car rather interesting.

Alright, now be prepared for a picture overload. I have a month of pictures to include!

Kate's first time in the pool w/her GiGi



At the Emerald Grande in the pool with Daddy. I think she is gonna be a little swimmer!



Hanging out on the floor with baby David.



Ok we want these 2 to fall in love and get married. Don't you think it looks like they are already on their way?


Heading out to the pool...


Kate loves her tongue and decided to stick it out at the camera.


Kate and her Great Grandma Gauthey
Great Grandpa Kratzer and Kate hanging out on the floor



He was trying to teach her how to crawl. It looks like she is paying attention, doesn't it?

4 Generations. Miss you Megs!

Kate and her Great Grandpa and Grandma Kratzer

Hanging out in a box! She loves to play with stuff that aren't her actual toys!


After our dreadful car trip I decided she needed to get in her big girl car seat STAT! She seems to like it. I can't believe my little baby is already so big!


Check back I'm gonna post some pictures of Kate's nursery.
