More Easter

Troy's new girlfriend April also met the whole family for the first time, and seemed to adjust well to the mayhem.




Grandma Stephanie had already sent our Easter baskets to our house so Kiley got to see all of her goodies today for the first time, and loved everything in there.




Friday night we went to my cousin Amber's soft ball game, Kiley went nuts running around and playing.




After the RockBand Concert was finished Troy and I decided there was something that needed to be done with all those leftover Easter eggs.

Easter

This last weekend Kiley and I went up to St George to see my family and celebrate Easter.
On Saturday night, we played RockBand, with special appearances from the Taylor Girls. . .




And Butt Rock Troy.



Saturday there was the Easter egg hunt, Kiley was more worried about finding out what was in her eggs than finding eggs.





This is Kiley playing with "Carla" THE WORLDS MOST UNFORTUNATE LOOKING DOLL!

STAFF SERGEANT

Congratulations Shawn! Today Shawn was promoted to Staff Sergeant in the USMC. I was able to go and watch the ceremony. He was given a framed "promotion warrant" and even got to go home early from work.
We went out to dinner to celebrate the promotion. Shawn, me, Kiley, My mom and Dad, and Troy went to Lucille's BBQ.
Shawn said it felt like his birthday today!

Shawn has Saturday off of work this week!!! This is his first Saturday off since he started recruiting duty. Shawn reached his recruiting objective in the month of March so he got a day off in March!

She Hates Pictures

Kiley used to be so much fun to photograph. She would always smile for the pictures, NOW, she wont even look at me. Today, I tried to take her picture and she started to cry and throw a HUGE fit. She can be such a beast sometimes.

Shawn, Kiley and I went to the park today. Sad to say, but this was the 1st time the three of us have gone to the park together. Kiley likes the swings, but the parks by our house don't have swings so we had to drive to the Murrieta sports park to use their playground.

Kiley went on the small slide with me, but got brave and went on the big slide with Shawn.





She is super cute near the 22nd second of the video!

Walking Progress

Mid December Kiley took her 1st steps. Most babies would be running around like crazy right now, but NOT Kiley. She still is so nervous about walking. Originally, she would only walk from person to person...Now she is walking from object to object, but only a few feet at a time.
She'll get there, she's just a bit more cautious then most babies her age. And just because she looks like ET when she walks doesn't mean we love her any less.
