Kale's Baptism

Kale got baptized on July 25th. We had an entire houseful of people who came to see him get baptized. In this picture, he is enjoying some time with Grandma, looking like a big boy!!

Kris' siblings, Aaron and Missy, got to meet Kale for the first time this weekend.

This is Kale's cute baptism outfit. It had long sleeves and pants, but I thought it would be okay because we would be inside the whole time and church is usually cool...unfortunately, the air was broken. Poor Kale (and the rest of us) was so hot! I unbuttoned his pants while we were sitting in the pew to let some air get to him.

Our little family!

Kris' brother and sister, Aaron and Missy, are Kale's godparents. We also asked my brother, David, to be Kale's godfather, unfortunately he was not able to attend the baptism, because he is in Afghanistan.

Both of Kale's great-grandmothers came for the baptism. It was nice to have them there to celebrate with us.

Play Date

Kale and I enjoyed some time with our good friends Elizabeth and Avery. Elizabeth and I loved watching Avery and Kale interact. It was so cute.

We are headed on our new adventure to Amarillo this Saturday. We are going to miss having playdates with our good friends.

Happy Anniversary!

Kris and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on July 20, 2007. I never would've guessed that day on the beach in Mexico that our lives would take so many twists and turns. But we are happier and more in love than ever!

Time with the Babies

Kris and I recently had dinner with some friends. 2 of the other girls had babies right around the same time I had Kale. Here is a picture of Kale with Gage. Gage was born about 1 week before Kale.

This is the whole group. Samantha is in the middle. Kale kept pulling Gage's hair. I think we have a lot to learn about spending time with our friends.

Bath Time

Kale really enjoys his bath these days. He splashes like crazy while I bathe him. Usually I am soaked, along with him, the counter top, and the floor.

Time with Mommy and Daddy

My little man is such a preppy dresser!!

Pool Time

Kris and I took Kale to the pool in our neighborhood the other day. He just loves the water! He "talks" like crazy whenever he is in the water. I am looking forward to getting him involved in an infant swim class when he is 6 months old. He is not scared to get the water in his face at all. As a matter of fact, we "practiced" for his baptism while we were at the pool. He didn't cry at all...but we will see how he does 2 weeks from now when the minister sprinkles water on his little head.
