Playing Catch Up!

I am so excited it is summer. That means I should be able to relax, right........? Well not yet. I am moving schools:) which is all the way across town. So that means that the first two weeks of my summer I have been moving my classroom and attending workshops. That's right tomorrow is my birthday and tomorrow I will be attending an all day kindergarten training. Birthday's get so exciting when you get older HAHA! So now that I am home after a long day at school and I wanted to catch up my blog so this is going to be a long one. So lets start back in December.
December we went down to California to visit Chris' dad down in San Diego. While we were there we went to a bowl game for college football. Chris' cousin from Oregon were there to watch the DUCKS play and took us with them. Haylee stayed home with Gaylen.


Can you tell they are related!!!!
Oh don't we look cute!

We also got to stay with my best bud Erin and Tag. We stayed with them for New Years. Let me tell you we partied it up....NOT! Tag got sick from drinking beer and taking sinus medication, so he went to bed around 8 Erin went a little later and then me and Chris went to bed around 10. Our little girls played together and it is going to be so fun watching them grow up together. They are only 3 weeks apart and it is amazing to see how big of a difference there is between them.

February's-In this month we had a Super Bowl Party with our family and friends at our house. Of course the Kaeding's had to dress in Chris' favorite team the Raiders. We also made another trip down to San Diego again because Chris' dad had hip surgery. We got to hang out with Margrett (Chris' Aunt) all week. She was from North Dakota and I seemed to pick up her YA KNOW! by the end of the week.

While down in sunny San Diego we decided to take Haylee to the beach for her first time. Let me tell you it was hot everyday except for the day we decided to go. When we got down there it was cold and windy. We walked around for a little while took pictures and then left.Once again we saw my friend Erin. If you look at the above pictures you will see how much the little ones have grown up in about a month. They grow up so fast. We put Haylee and Emma down together hoping they play but instead Emma tried to roll over Haylee and Haylee was getting frustrated.

March- My moms b-day. I can't tell you how old she is because she would kill me but I think she looks wonderful. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

April went by very quickly. I already posted a Easter picture but I will show you what else we did.

Took Haylee to the splash pad for the first time. You can see how much she enjoyed it.




I love giving Haylee her girlie Mowhawk! Where's Haylee. That's right this is how she sleeps. Completely covered blankets and pillows over her face. (Just like Grandpa Minniss)Haylee making her little stinker face.
May-This month has been very busy for us. Chris traveled and was gone for an entire 5 days. Every time he leaves I realize how hard it would be to live without him. We missed him so much. My parents helped out a lot by watching Haylee while I was at work, and got very spoiled:) I was interviewing at different schools, while packing my room, getting ready for kindergarten graduation, tried working on my photography business, moved my classroom plus much more.

We started the month off with a Cinco De Mayo Party down with Chris and Summer.

Went to Cotton Days with my parents. We were there for a total of 20 minutes. 15 of them I was talking to a mom from my class. It took us the other 5 to walk around the fair. Nothing like the Del Mar Fair.

Chris' dad came to visit and. This is are trip to cedar breaks. It was freezing!

Took Haylee on Grandpas boat for the first time. She loved it. Except for her life vest!Well That's All Folks. HEHE! Please forgive my bad spelling and grammar but I was trying to get this done quickly. Plus I only teach kindergarten:) From now on I am hoping to keep my blog updated so I won't have to cover a 1/2 of year in one blog. Write to you soon!
