little lakers fan

we had a nice & relaxing weekend!  It is snowing here today in Minnesota and I am SO thankful that I am able to be home with my sassy little girl and snuggle her up all day long!  I do not take one second for granted and each time she snuggles into me I squeeze her tight and try and soak in the moment.  I know they don't stay this small for long, and it is one of my favorite stages!  
Look at that lip!  She must have been a little chilly...

On Friday Josh & I just took it easy by playing a game & watching a movie.  Kali enjoyed hanging out and relaxing as well.  It was a great night :)


On Saturday we had a family get together for the January birthdays, mine of which was included.  It was a very nice birthday celebration and enjoyed ourselves!  Here is Kallen with her Great Grandma & Grandpa and cousin Hannah.  Hannah was born in July and is just a little peach!  So sweet.  
Miss K had a little tutu on...I was in heaven!
On Sunday we went to church, and it was a baptism service.  It was so good & so emotional!  Such a wonderful moment to witness!  
 As much as I enjoy frilly dresses and sassy outfits, we do have to support daddy's favorite team so Kallen represented for the team at church.  Clearly I didnt let her out without the bow to complete the "little Lakers fan" outfit!

Playing catch up again, here are some pictures from the end of the last week

My little cuddle bug.  I love her so much!  

 A day in the life of miss K's wardrobe.  Seriously, she went through about 3 outfits & 3 blankets that day! 

Grandma, Kallen & daddy

I could just kiss those cheeks all day long!

Chopped liver

Grandma & Grandpa Nixon stopped by for a visit tonight, they were on a cruise last week so they asked to come by to see Miss Kallen (yeah, we are chopped liver now that the little miss is here :)  Daddy & momma were able to eat dinner at the same time, as it seems every other night one of us had to be holding her while the other one ate.  Good thing she is cute and we don't mind holding her.  I don't want to jinx anything...but the last 2 nights Kallen has been sleeping by 9 and slept 5 hours straight the first night and 7 straight last night...AMAZING I tell you!  She was up most of the day, but 7 straight hours ill take all day long!  I'm off to bed now, hoping my sweet babe will stay sleeping :)

Pink!

I was supposed to have a doctor's appointment today to figure out that last darn stitch that I just cant get rid of, but my doctors office called and he was pulled into surgery so they had to reschedule.  No problem, I was actually glad since I didn't have a chance to get much done yesterday, today was the day!  Kali was in much better spirits and we had such a great day!  

I received a text from Bethany to see if Kallen & I wanted to join her & Hopers at McDonalds to eat, visit & play!  So we bundled up and ventured out, it was fun to visit and get out for a bit, even if it was only for a short time.  Thanks Bethany!  They are expecting their little guy any day, I am so excited to have a nephew & we cannot wait to meet the little man!     

I am so excited to dress Kali in "valentine" themed clothes this year - it is so fun!   Most of her things are pink anyways, but it all seems a little more exciting because of Valentines day for some reason.  Josh thinks I'm nuts :)  Here is our little valentine with all her pink!  I love it!  
 
 
Hope your all having a great week!!

I see alot of purple in your future....

Because of this little gadget 
And these books:

 And a few issues with blogger this weekend, I am behind!  So here is a little, very brief overview of the past few days along with my project 365 photos.

 
I bought this outfit about a year and a half ago after I had Emma.  That was part of my therapy.  I could not wait to put a little babe in this adorable sleeper (the picture doesnt do it justice, it is seriously just precious), and when I pulled it out of the drawer I just cried.  I am so unbelievably grateful to have such a beautiful, healthy little girl and we are so overwhelmed with joy! 

Kallen is enjoying her bath's more!  She usually just stares in the mirror the whole time, and cries when we take her out! 

 Its not all fun & games people...the little miss does indeed cry!  But still cute enough to take a picture :)
This is mom's favorite bow right now, and daddy doesnt disapprove because it is purple (lakers/vikings)...so I see ALOT of purple bows in your future Kali!  

Kent & Leah came over on Saturday to hangout and meet the little diva herself!  Josh & I went to college with Kent & Leah, they are just gems and we had a blast hanging out with them!  I think Leah looks great with a baby on her, it suits her well ;)

Kallen & daddy matching in their Lakers attire - Josh was so proud!  

Today was a little rough.  I had MANY plans to be productive such as clean, organize, workout & do laundry and NONE of those were completed.  Or started I should say.  I had a killer headache and Kallen pretty much stayed in the sling the whole day.  Dont let this picture fool you, she closed her eyes because of the flash...she was definitely not sleeping :)  Although I had many plans to be productive, I will never, ever, (ever!) complain about my baby girl wanting to be held/loved on.  I love being her mommy!  

Okay...now that I am caught up hopefully I will continue on this path!

per - fect

  
[pur-fikt]- adjective
exactly right, without any flaws or defects:
perfect little fingers & toes. 

sweet little cub

I have been a bit behind on blogging.  This sassy little girl has been a bit clingy and doesn't like to sleep not being held....Not that I mind holding her every second but doesn't leave much time to do pretty much anything else.  Needless to say I have been shower-less, make-up less, and just pretty much put together-less for about 2-3 days.  I wouldn't have it any other way though!  Thankfully Auntie Nikki came over yesterday for a little bit so I could make dinner - such a help! 

She is still pretty cute though so I have been able to get some pictures of Miss Kali...
 
 
Our dearest friends The Evans fam got Kali this adorable outfit and I love the little ears!  She looked like a sweet little cub :) 
 All snuggled up in her jammies with her lovey and paci.  If you are ever at our house at night you will find Kallen like this!
