4 Months and Counting Up...

Anniston is now 4 months...almost 5!!! It's crazy how time flies by so fast! She is so much fun and we are so grateful that she is in our family! She is full of smiles and laughs all of the time which just makes our hearts melt! Her new favorite trick is rolling from her back to her tummy!

Anniston is now 15.1 lbs. (56th percentile) and is 26 1/4 inches long (95 percentile). She is growing so much! She jibber jabbers all of the time and slobbers even more! She likes to suck on her bottom lip and recently has started sucking on her thumb (well, that's when she doesn't have her whole fist in her mouth!) Hopefully this won't become a habit.

This is a picture of Anniston watching Mommy and Daddy play softball. If you can't tell she's hanging out in the dugout in her bumbo chair!

It's dinner time! Now that Anniston is 4 months we've been TRYING to give her rice cereal. Unfortunately, she doesn't like it all that much and more of it ends up on her face and bib then in her tummy!

As you can tell though...it's one of Papi's favorite foods!!!

This is Anniston and her friend Elizabeth eating in the good old BYUH school Cafeteria! Actually, they get to play and watch us eat! Fun!!!

Faces of Anniston Kalia

"I'm Cool and I know it!"
"Oh Daddy...My feet are getting wet!"
"Mommy...get me out of this blanket, stop trying to take pictures, and please...PICK ME UP!"
"I'm so cute and Daddy is so funny...he just makes me laugh!"

SURPRISE!!!

Grammy Jen and Grandpa Mike thought that it would be fun to fly all the way to Hawaii and surprise us! Well, that's just what they did! We were eating at the cafeteria and they just happened to pop in and find us! Let me tell you...we were SHOCKED!!! It has been a fun-filled week and we are glad that Anniston was able to spend some quality time with Grammy and Grandpa!


Aloha! Anniston was so excited to see her Grandparents!

It's bath time!! As you can tell in this picture...Anniston loves her baths, especially when they are from Grammy Jen and Grandpa Mike! She was as happy as could be!

Random Recent Photos of Anniston

This is priceless...Whenever Anniston sees a camera she refuses to smile. So to get this smile on camera was exciting.

Happy 2nd Anniversary!!!

August 2nd was our 2 year anniversary! To celebrate I made Stacey breakfast in bed. For those of you who don't know we have a projector in our room, so while we ate our breakfast in bed we watched our wedding video on the big screen. We then made a cake. I had this idea to take my mom's Halloween cake with oreos and chocolate pudding and make a beach cake. So after breakfast we made a beach cake with vanilla pudding and vanilla oreos. It turned out pretty dang good for beginners. We then went shopping and to Chili's for dinner. (Stacey's favorite place to eat)





We have had 2 of the most wonderful years of our lives! We are so excited to have many MANY more to celebrate and live! I LOVE YOU MUVE!

Stacey's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY!!!
We celebrated Stacey's birthday. For her "cake" I decided it would be fun to make 27 sugar cookies and Rachel, Bethany, Grandpa, and I all decorated a few sugar cookies with a memory about Stacey that we had. We all had wonderful memories of Stacey that made for some pretty interesting cookies.
