Big Girl Room

Since we moved into our house last February we haven't done much with Tatum's room.  This weekend it was finally time to get her a big girl room.  My parents had some furniture that was my Gramma's; a dresser a night stand and 2 twin beds.  Tatum has had the dresser for awhile, my Mom had stained it for us when Tatum moved into the toddler bed before Camdyn was born.   We decided we wanted to have white furniture in her room since Tatum told us she wanted pink on her walls.  Earlier this week Gramma came over and put 2 primer coats and one top coat on the furniture.  Tatum and I put another paint coat on it all yesterday (I let Tatum paint the inside of the beds and she had a great time).

We went to home depot Saturday morning hoping we could just match the paint to the bedding that we had picked out.  But of course all the different things we brought in to be matched couldn't be found, so much for that idea.  After being at home depot for 2 hours we settled on some paint and crossed our fingers that it would turn out how we pictured.  We picked Tink Pink and Bubblegum Pink...... Bring on the PINK!!

We got home had some lunch and Matt and Gramma started painting the room while Tatum and I worked on the furniture and Camdyn took a nap.  The paint turned out perfect on the walls after a 6 hour painting day.  Matt and Gramma worked so hard to make it perfect.  We put the beds in last night and loved how it was turning out.

All set to paint.

This morning we moved in the rest of the furniture and painted the handles for the dresser.  We went and got mattresses for the beds and the room came together.  We are so incredibly happy with how the room turned out, it is perfect for our 2 little princesses.  Of course it will be awhile until Camdyn is sleeping in there with Tatum because she is still in a crib in her room.  As of now Tatum is so super excited to sleep in her new big girl room.  It will be a HUGE step for her if she does sleep in there tonight.  Keeping our fingers crossed that she keeps up her excitement and is able to sleep in there at least part of the night to start!!

PINK!!

We are so thankful for the girls Gramma and Grampa, we couldn't of done this room without them, they are so super amazing!!!!

Family Time in Missouri

Last weekend we were able to go visit our family in Missouri.  It was so fun seeing Michael, Becky, Ellie and Holden, we had a blast!!

We were up bright and early on Thursday morning and headed to the airport with Gramma and Grampa.  The girls were so super excited to be heading to see their cousins!!  The flight to Missouri went great, Camdyn sat with Matt and I and Tatum sat in the row behind us with Gramma and Grampa.  Camdyn fell asleep before we even took off and Tatum had a great time coloring a lot of pictures for everyone.  Tatum is getting really good at drawing people.  She likes to draw people wearing hats, too cute :).  Tatum had a bit of a hard time with her ears while we were descending, so I went back and sat with her and rocked her a bit and she fell asleep for the last few minutes of the flight.

We got to Missouri and were starving so we stopped at McDonalds and had a picnic in the car.  It was almost a 3 hour drive to Michael and Becky's house and both of the girls did great on the ride.  When we pulled up Michael, Becky, Ellie and Holden were all standing outside waiting for us.  Tatum had been so excited to get there and when we finally did she became a bit shy.  It was so great getting hugs from our adorable neice and nephew, love them so much!!  We got a quick tour of the house and then relaxed.  Tatum and Ellie had an awesome time playing.  It was so fun seeing how well they got along and how much fun they had together.

The first night we didn't get much sleep because there was a big rain/hail storm that came through.  Luckily the girls slept through it, but Matt and I were up most of the night listening to it rain.  We just aren't used to those kind of storms I guess!!  Friday morning we woke up and the kids were ready to play!!  We spent the day just hanging out and playing inside, since it was pretty wet outside from the storm the night before.  The kids had a great day!!

They are so cute!!

Play time!!

Friday night Matt, Michael, Becky and I went out to dinner and left the kids home with Gramma and Grampa.  We went to a restaurant called Prison Brews, it was really awesome food and we all left feeling stuffed.  Then we drove around a little bit and saw the city.  It was such a fun night for the 4 of us.  The kids had a great time too, and Gramma and Grampa survived the 3 hours we were gone.  We came home and Tatum and Ellie had made up a dance so they showed us.  Then Camdyn decided after seeing Holden walk all day she would give it a try.  Cannot believe she started walking.  It was so awesome seeing her take those steps and she was so super proud of herself because we all clapped and cheered for her!! 

Ready to head out.

Fun!!

Best Cousins

Saturday we got up and had a photo shoot with the kids.  Becky made all 3 girls the cutest flapper dresses and Holden was decked out in a hat and tie.  It certainly was hard trying to get pics of all 4 of those moving kids at once.  I think we got some pretty cute pics though.  Camdyn was all about getting her picture taken, so adorable!!

We were able to go outside and enjoy the fresh air after we got bundled up in our winter clothes.  Tatum and Ellie had fun in the car driving around.  Camdyn was taking a nap while we were outside playing.  Ellie and Holden have the same swingset as the girls do, so it was fun to see them all play together!!

Aunt Becky made Tatum and Ellie some M&M hot chocolate (YUM!!) and then they went downstairs with Gramma to watch a movie.  While the older girls were watching their movie we did a little photo shoot with Camdyn and Holden.  They were born on the same day just 30 minutes apart so we did some birthday cupcake photos.  The photos turned out so awesome!!

That night we had tacos for dinner and just enjoyed some family time and watching our kids play.  Camdyn did a lot more walking and Tatum had such a blast playing with Ellie.
We had a great trip and we are so lucky that all 10 of us got to be together for the weekend.  Cannot wait until our next family get together!!!!

This and That

Seems like we have been pretty busy lately here in the Kahler house.  Lots going on!!

Camdyn had her 1 year check up and is doing great.  She is 22 lbs, 5 oz (70%) and 29.5 inches (62%).  So she is smaller than Tatum was at 1 year, but she is growing perfectly!!  The doctor said she looks good and will be taking off walking soon.  She wants us to start working really hard on words with her as she should start saying words soon.  She talks all the time, just so far nothing much that we can understand.  She does says Momma and Dadda, but not necessarily to us.  The other day she did say Dadda while looking at Matt so that was pretty exciting.  We are going to start her on milk today.  We will see how she does.  I know she will do great, just have to get her used to the sippy cup and move away from bottles.  Camdyn also has become quite the climber.  She climbed all the way to the top of the stairs the other day.  I probably shouldn't of let her but I did.... I was right by her side as she climbed them, and she even came all the way down on her belly by herself.  Thank goodness we have gates up at the top and bottom of the stairs!!

Trying to be sneaky

Crawling to the top of the stairs!!

We had an icky stomach bug go through our house this week, first Camdyn got it on Tuesday night then Tatum got it on Thursday night and then I got it on Friday night.  It was definitely not fun being sicky around here, but luckily the sickness seemed to get out of our systems quick!!

Since we had such a sicky week, we decided today to have a super fun family day!!  We went to the zoo this morning and all of the animals were out.  We started at the giraffes and climbed up to the lookout and both girls enjoyed that.  Then we headed over to see the tiger and he was growling the whole time we were over there!!  Then we stood in line to feed the giraffes.  It was definitely a fun thing to do, but I think it is a bit expensive.  It is $4 a person, so we decided that just Tatum and I would do it and Camdyn could do it when she is just a little bit older.  Tatum and I had fun feeding the giraffe and checking out his blue tongue.  After the zoo we decided to get some lunch and take it to the park for a picnic.  It was fun to sit in the grass and enjoy this beautiful day.  We tried to fly the kite Tatum got for Christmas from Uncle Adam and Aunt Lindsey, but unfortunately there was no wind and it didn't work so well.  It was pretty funny.  Since the kite didn't work we decided to just play at the park and we had a great time doing that.  The girls were loving the slide.

We love having family time with our beautiful girls!!  We are so lucky that today was a beautiful day and we could get out and enjoy it!!

Camdyn's 1st Birthday!!

Camdyn Breeze woke up as happy as ever on her birthday.  She was smiling and laughing and I think she knew it was her special day.  When Tatum woke up she and I sang a special song to the birthday girl (over and over and over) and Camdyn shook her little tooshie and bobbed her head while we sang.  We had a great morning playing and having a dance party to some Disney Tunes.  It was a great way to spend the time before her party.

We had our family and best friends over for a special party for Camdyn.  The girls and I had been making decorations and crafts for the party for a few weeks and we were excited for the party to finally be here.  We really do have the very BEST family and friends and we are so lucky they came over to celebrate Camdyn's special day. 

Happy Birthday Camdyn Breeze!!

I am 1!!!!

We had lunch and the girls played outside.  Of course the birthday girl needed a little nap, so she slept on her Daddy for about an hour and then we got into present time.  Camdyn sat in her chair and looked like a princess.  Of course big sister Tatum "helped" Camdyn with her gifts.  Actually Tatum opened everything and Camdyn was ok with that.  Camdyn didn't really seem to mind not opening the gifts, she did LOVE to see what was inside of them though.  The girls were adorable and it was fun.  After all the presents were opened the girls played in the super fun ball pit that Camdyn got from her Uncle Andrew and Aunt Emma.  They had a lot of fun in that and Camdyn was belly laughing at her hilarious sister when they were playing!!

Then it was time for cake.  At first Camdyn was a bit shy, but that did not last long.  She dug right in.  I have never seen a baby love cake as much as Camdyn did.  It was EVERYWHERE.  She was so messy and it was awesome.  I tried to take the cake away from her and she freaked out, she was definitely telling me that she was not ready to be done with the cake!!

What is this Mom?!

Mmmm yummy cake!!

Digging in!!

Not happy - "Give me that cake back!!"

"What, no more?!?"

I LOVE CAKE!!

Bath time!!

Camdyn had a wonderful day, she got fantastic presents and she is just as happy as can be.  We cannot believe how fast the year has flown by and that our little babe is already one!!
