Brock & Kristie

Here's another little playmate of Kristie's! She met Brock in Rexburg. He moved here to Washington last summer so now they've reunited!! He's two months older than her. He crawls and pulls himself up on everything! He's going to teach Kristie how to do those things. =) 

And here they are the day they met! (Kristie was a day or two old here.)

Shopping Date & Laughs

Mackenzie and I went shopping at the outlet stores in Marysville today with the babes. It was SO much fun! We also had lunch at Red Robin where I had the most amazing crispy fish sandwich. =) Here are some pics and a video of them taking a break at one of the baby stores. Too cute!

And big laughs!! She just completely brightens my day. =)

Loves the blinds.

Standing in her hamper!

Ready for a walk. haha.

Kristie's Funny Noise

Are these cute kids or what?!

These are a compilation of pictures Char and Kenz took with their cameras - I was a doof and forgot mine. Anyway, we finally got our kids together! Just so fun 'cause the three of us grew up together and all three of us had kids at the same time. Colton and Kristie were born on the same day (!!!) and Will was just born a couple weeks after. Now as soon as Char moves back here to WA (she was just here visiting for Christmas), they can all grow up together! (Wink, wink Char. haha.) We just had a blast being together! Mackenzie and Will introduced Kristie and Colton to Cheerios - that was quite eventful! And of course, Kristie was too shy to smile so excuse her seriousness. =) Enjoy! (Colton in the middle, Will on the right.)

(Look at how much more hair he has! Kristie's a little behind in that department.)

(So funny...Kristie and Colton just staring at Will crying.)

(They kept touching each other's faces! Such a crack up.)

(Oh the baby feet!)

Oh Kristie...

Out to the mall with Laura!!

Just bein' her cute self.

Lately her new favorite thing is playing in front of a mirror!

Oh soooo cute.

In a super cute fleece outfit from Auntie Katie!

This is a book from Vicky Jensen...Kali's mom...so sweet!!

"This reading thing is exhausting!"

She looks so grown up to me in this picture. =)

What have we been doing?!

More like what have we not been doing?! My heavens have we been busy! How is it possible that we've been back in Washington for THREE weeks already? They're not kidding when they say "Time flies when you're having fun." So true. 

We we finally moved into an apartment at Bay Court apartments, in good ol' Mukilteo!! We'll be in Harbour Pointe ward (hooray!!) and just down the street from my Dad & Ada! (And still nearby J's parents as well!) We've been in limbo as far as the living situation goes...we moved into the apartment, but we've been "babysitting" the younger Duce kiddos for the weekend while Dave & Janelle took Erin to college so we've been staying the night at the Duce house. And we still have stuff at Dad & Ada's. So we have our stuff at THREE different places right now! Ah! Poor Kristie must be SO confused. And so messed up...her naps are not as great as they usually are and she's been waking up at night. Which brings me to our next exciting thing...

Kristie's first tooth is coming in!!!!! I can't tell you how excited we are! And sad that she's growing up! I feel like I'm doing something right though, as a parent you know?! Not like I had anything to do with her tooth making it's appearance, but that she's progressing & growing like she's supposed to. =) Anyway, it's broken through so you can feel the top of it! So weird when you're just used those cute little gums! So not only is her sleeping off because of all the moving around, but she's getting a tooth for cryin' out loud! (And a bit of a runny nose.) My goodness...poor lil' lady. 

Anyway, the apartment's awesome! We found a THREE bedroom for only $980 a month! It's got a ton of space, which we love. The kitchen's not as big as the last, but it'll definitely do. It's so sad...moving, unpacking and decorating from scratch again makes me what to redecorate and buy new things...which we don't have the money for. I'll just have to wait. =) 

Outfit from Auntie Kali...tooooo cute!

Kristie hanging out with the big kids.

Seminary reunion! Mallory, Katie, Ryan, Me, Kristie, Char, Colton & Jihan! This was too much fun. (We missed you Tyler, Becky & Kali!!)

First umbrella stroller!! From Auntie Katie!! 

Love, love, loves chillin' on the couch.

Love, love, loves the mac...

Kristie meeting our friends - Aaron, Tyler & Cory. (Her face is priceless...perhaps a little too much testosterone.)

She was tired...otherwise I know Aaron would make her giggle & laugh!

Here's a few pictures from the move from Rexburg to WA. Kristie loved taking turns "driving" the moving truck!
