I'm obsessed!!!

I am officially obsessed with taking pictures of Kai!!! I downloaded all the pictures from my camera today and realized that every single one of my pictures where of Kai!

I just can't help it when he is so dang cute!
At least I include Ben in some of them!
He's practicing being Superman for Halloween!

Look at what a big boy he is sitting on daddy's lap!

Oh my gosh...that smile makes me melt every time I see it!

He is crazy about his tongue!

Okay...seriously...how could you not love that face!

This is his cooing face! I love it!!!

One last heart melting smile!!! This makes me want to pinch his cheeks just looking at it!

Sorry Nalani but I think Kai wins for cutest baby ever!!!

Hello-oo-oo Ladies!

This is one of Kai's favorite shirts!

I'm not really sure what he is looking at but it must have been fascinating!

Ahhh...big smiles
Ahhh...more big smiles for mom!
And even some for dad!

Ben finally got Kai to giggle the other day so I need to figure out how to download videos so everyone can hear him laugh! It's hilarious!!!

What does Kai love more???

His Bumbo chair, his horse, or his fist?

This picture says it all...his HORSE! This is what happened when the horse fell out of his hands last night! A major melt down! I think I can see the red standing out in his hair!
Oh...thanks mom...life is all good again!
What a stinker!!! Please pray for me!!!

Bumbo chair and smiles!

Kai is finally strong enough for the bumbo chair! We put him in it last night and he hardly knew what to do with himself. He let out these big squaks of excitement!

He looks terrified in this picture but I promise he was enjoying it!
Doesn't he look like such a big boy in this picture!
This is his serious face!
I have tried for weeks now to get a picture of Kai smiling and I finally got one with the help of Ben!
Concentrating hard on daddy!

Through the eyes of Austin

On Cody and Meridith's wedding day Austin was itching to take pictures so I gave him my camera and told him to have at it! It's funny to see the wedding from Austin's point of view! My only regret is that I deleted some of the good ones before I thought to do this blog!

Okay...so this might be my favorite picture!

No...maybe this one!

Nope...this one definitely wins!!! It took my a second to figure out this was Nate!

I think Maile may have grabbed the camera and taken this one?

All the kids loved the candy jars!

And of course a nice blurry picture of the happy couple with dad and mom O.

That pretty much wraps up the wedding pictures that were on my camera!

I will have to snag a few off the blogs to add to my collection!

Just a few random pictures!

I am WAY behind on blogging so here are a few random pictures to keep everyone entertained while I sort through my pictures so I can do more good blog updates.

Baby Kai looks so tired as we ride the train at the Dole Plantation!
I've discovered that I can't catch Kai smiling with my camera because the flash scares him way too bad. I just get lots of pictures of him looking terrified!
Cody and Meridith's wedding
Shocker....Mom is holding Kai! =)
This use to be Kai's favorite chair but he informed me the other day that he is over it!
The fam waiting in line at the Dole Plantation to ride the exciting train!
Yip...they still look just like each other!

Stay tunned for more exciting updates!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Friday was my b-day so we went to the Cheesecake Factory with our friends Karl, Amanda, and their son Landon.  Landon was not amused when they delivered bread to the table next to us and didn't give him any!  He was ticked!!!  He got over it quickly when they finally brought him his own bread!  Life was even better when they brought him mac and cheese!!!

This is Karl and Amanda that we do pretty much everything with!

I had a very fun b-day and Ben spoiled me rotten!  I am so grateful to have such a loving husband.  When I asked him why he spoiled me so much for me b-day he told me he was trying to make up for not being here next year when he's in Iraq.  That brought a few tears!!!

I'm finally updating the blog!

Most of you know already that Ben was in training for about a month right after Kai was born. After being in training for about a week and a half he was able to come home and see us for about 11 hours! This is a picture of Ben when he first got home! It was such a great day because I didn't have to change any diapers or feed Kai all day long! Ben was just too excited to see his little man again...he wouldn't let him go!

After Ben returned to training Kai and I headed off to Seattle to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma O. Kai was so good on his first airplane ride and slept the whole way! Few! Grandma O. is convinced that Kai already loves the Love Sac so she kept putting him in it to watch tv! He looks pretty happy to me!

Caution! This kid is Extremely Cute!!!

After staying in Seattle for about two weeks we headed off to Utah to visit family. Here is Kai hanging out waiting for something exciting to happen.

Be careful what you wish for Kai! Here come Cash!

These are definitely the cutest babies in the world!!!

Beach Time!

Friday was Baby Kai's first adventure to the beach!

My mom and I finally left the house and went up to the North Shore to visit a friend who's attending BYU-Hawaii.
We were paranoid to take the blanket off him because he has such fair skin. We didn't want him to turn into a lobster on his first trip to the beach.
What more could Grandma O ask for? She's standing on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii holding her favorite grandbaby!

A Taste of Heaven!!!

A few nights ago this bouquet of chocolate covered fruit showed up at my door from all my siblings. This is the side that wasn't devoured in the first few hours...

This is the side that was devoured in the first few hours! Can I just say that this was the best gift ever! My mom and I were in a chocolate comma by the end of the night!

I can't get over how stinking cute my little man is! He loves to have his hands right up by his face all the time or he gets mad!

Grandma O just can't get enough of her new grandbaby!

She has worked hard to earn the name Baby Hog!
