too many pictures....

I take so many pictures that I can't even keep up with myself. I just can't help it. Kate looks so cute doing anything and everything that I just have to document it. We can't get enough of this little girl. Her personality is totally coming out and she is so funny. She loves to hang out with pretty much anyone, and is turning into such a big girl. Here are a few pics from the last little bit......

I love her in this outfit. It totally reminds me of something I had when I was little.

She loves to be outside. I can't even get her to look at me for a picture becuase she is so interested in everything around her.

She is such a big girl now sitting up in her tub. I think her little face looks so sweet here.

She loves to play in her pod while I am cleaning or running on the treadmill. We love all of the hand-me-down toys from Aunt Mindy. We went shopping at her house the other day and Kate got to pick out a ton of new toys. Thanks!

Here is Kate trying on grandpa's glasses. She was not very enthused.

Broadbent Family Reunion.....

I went to my first Broadbent Family Reunion on Saturday. A lot of Paul's family is from out of town so I got to meet a ton of relatives that I have never met before. Here are a few pics of Kate and the Broadbent Fam...

Strawberry Days....

So good old Strawberry Day's has come and gone. I decided that I at least had to participate in one event. I know it is totally rigged but I decided to go the baby contest the other morning. I don't know why so many moms go just to have someone else tell them that their baby is beautiful, but oh well, it was fun. Amanda was nice enought to go with me and stand in line in the heat. By the time we got to the judges table, Kate wasn't really in a performing mood. So needless to say, she didn't win, but hey, we all know who really should have won.......


Anxiously awaiting the results.....

Posing for the judges.....

7 months old....

It has been a little while since I have posted and a lot has happened. We survived the big move and are pretty much settled. Paul has started his new job, and our baby girl turned 7 months old today! Some of her new favorite things are playing on the grass and getting her teeth brushed. I know that sounds a little strange, but when she sees me getting her toothbrush ready, she gets so excited and sits there with her mouth wide open waiting for me. I haven't been the greatest at taking pictures lately, but here are a few........

Playing with papa.

This picture makes me laugh so hard. Check out that face! These were my Strawberry Shortcake pajamas from when I was a baby. When we were little, my grandma Loa would cut out the feet in our pajamas because she thought that they were too uncomfortable. They sure fit like a glove!

These ones are from a couple weeks ago. My dad put a cute little bridge in his front yard which is perfect for picture taking.

I miss St. George, but I am so happy that Kate gets to be around her family for a while. Here she is with aunt Amanda.

This is last Sunday after church. Kate looked so cute in this little dress from aunt Mindy.

My little Spanish seniorita.

At the pool......

We took Kate swimming for the first time on saturday after our yard sale (we are trying to de-junk before the move). The water felt a little chily, so I wasn't sure if she would like it or not, but she loved it! I got this little crab floater at Target right before we went. I love that it has the little cover for shade.

She looked so cute from behind, just floating along. We were pushing her back and forth between us and she would kick her little legs. It was so fun to watch!


She was laying out in the shade and posing for me in her suit.

This is the perfect shot to show off her shapely legs.

Nurse Kate (and other random photos).....

So my dad has a tradition of getting scrubs for the grandkids when they are born. When Kate was born, the smallest size that he could find was 12 month. She has been waiting patiently to be able to wear them. We put them on her when we went up north last weekend and they fit perfect! Thanks grandpa!

Lately Kate always looks like she is plotting something. She loves to clasp her hands together and interlock her little fingers. It is so cute!

Kate likes peaches! I love how I am posing for the picture that I thought I was in, but Paul cut me off. Oh well, she is much cuter anyway.

Kate is practicing her balance. She needed one last picture in her cute little room before we move.

Silly girl....

Here is Kate showing off her new trick after church today. Please ignore my baby talk. I hate talking on video, and I never realize how dorky I am acting until I watch the video later, so I apologize.

6 Months Old...

I can't believe our baby girl is already 6 months old. She is such a little doll. I got a little carried away taking picture of her today, so sorry there are so many. She just kept making such cute faces.

Kate is not quite sure what to think of her new teeth. She she is always biting on her top lip and making this funny face.

I think she was tired of sitting up at this point....

Three years ago today......

Happy Anniversary, baby!

Congrats Paul!

This last week as been quite eventful. Paul graduated (with honors) from the Nursing program at Dixie. So now it is time to move back up North. It will be nice to be up by family and friends again, but we are going to miss little St. George. We have had a lot of fun here in good old Dixie. Here are a few pics from the events last week.

Here we are at the Honors ceremony on Thursday.

Paul with his honors buddies, Ned and Sindel. Pretty cool medallions, huh?
Then on Saturday, we went to his pinning ceremony at an outdoor amphitheater right at the base of Zions Canyon. It was so pretty. Here are all the dudes from his class.
Paul with his brother Drake. Kate is so proud of her papa.

Boating at Quail Lake.....

We went boating at Quail Lake on Monday night with our friends, Lindsey and Travis. The water was 60 degrees, but the guys still decided to wakeboard. The girls just hung out in the boat and enjoyed the scenery. It was so much fun just to get out. Here is Kate in her new life jacket. We couldn't even zip it up all of the way because of her cheeks. She didn't really like wearing the jacket, but she loved licking the inside. By the end of the night it was sopping wet. Kate enjoying the wind in her face. It started getting a little chilly, so she bundled up and snuggled with her dad. Here is Kate with her friend, Hali. They were born 6 days apart. (Kate is older.) She is already a little social butterfly.
