TGIF Coffee House

On Friday Todd was invited to play at a Coffee House that is located in a local Church with his brother Darren and a friend Neil. It was a great night. A lot of people showed up to hear them play and show their support. Kaitlyn made it through the whole show even though it was over about 2 hours past her bedtime. She sure was tired by the end.

Before the show my friends and I let the kids play a little on the floor. There was room for this because there weren't too many people there yet.

Kaitlyn and Shaun Handspiker. He is 3 months older then Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn with Shaun Handspiker and Isabel Moore. She is 9 days older then Kaitlyn. They were due on the same day.

They boys waiting to play while being introduced. They played all original songs written by Darren.

Kaitlyn listening to the music on Robyn's lap. She sure was having a lot of fun. She was dancing, waving and calling out to her dad. It made him smile.

Here is my wonderful husband Todd. He did great playing his Bass Guitar. This was his first performance with it since he got it last Christmas.

Here is my brother-in-law Darren playing his guitar. He wrote and sang all the songs they performed that night. He has a great voice.

Here is our friend Neil Roston playing his guitar. He is like part of our family. He grew up with Todd and Darren in Nova Scotia and is a great friend. He is a great guitar player.

Near the end of the night Kaitlyn didn't want to sit down anymore so we let her crawl around on the floor. Our friend Kelsey decided to get down and play with her. Kaitlyn just loves Kelsey.

These next 2 pictures are some of our friends that came to support the boys. They are really great people. We are lucky to have them in our lives.

Here is Kaitlyn with her daddy after the show. She was so proud of him.

The band. They really have a lot of fun playing together. This was there first official gig together and I'm sure there will be more.

Into Everything!!

I was doing a lot of cleaning on Friday and got a little worried when I couldn't hear Kaitlyn at all. I wondered what she was getting into. So I grabbed the camera and went looking. I found her in the porch pretending to drink a can of pop like she sees us do. It was really cute.

After she had fun with the pop can she moved onto the box of Cheerios. When she found the box I removed the bag of cereal from it so that she wouldn't dump it all over the floor but there were still some Cheerios at the bottom of the box. She found them and ate them.

I finally got her out of the porch and she started to play with this cardboard roll. I'm not sure what it is from but it sure was a big one. this kept her busy for a little while so that I could get more cleaning done.

It wasn't long again before she found her way back to the porch. This time I heard her because she was playing with the bag of cucumbers. I have them to make dill pickles. She was taking them all out of the bag and throwing them on the floor. I could have watched her all day but I really needed to clean the house for the party the next night.

Her Haircut

I finally went and got her hair cut because her hair was getting into her eyes all the time. I'd try to put it in pig tails to help but she didn't always want to stay still.

This is a before shot .

And here are the after shots. She loves her new hair cut and we think it looks really cute. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of her at the salon because I had to hold her. Maybe the next time we will get it done when Todd is able to come and get a picture then.

The Fridge is Discovered

While I was cleaning up the kitchen Kaitlyn was quietly playing in the bedroom. Or so I thought. I was surprised to turn around and see her playing with the magnets on the fridge. She was having a great time and was so proud of herself.

Playtime Before Bed

Everynight before bed Kaitlyn gets a bath, into her PJ's and then plays a little while drinking her bottle. This night she was having a great time reading one of her Baby Einstein books. After looking at these pictures myself, I decided that it was time to get her hair cut. It was a little long.
