Baby Animal Festival

There is a working ranch near our house called the Cross E Ranch, and for the last few years they have done a baby animal festival in the spring.  We decided to take Kail this year and he LOVED it.  I wish I had gotten better pictures.  They had baby pigs, goats, bunnies, chicks, ducks, cows, and puppies.  And then they had bounce house platforms and weirdly some animal feed the kids could play in.  Also some pretty amazing homemade donuts.

We thought we would put Kail on the bounce platform and he might take a few steps before wanting to get off, espeshaly because there were big kids running around. Instead he went nuts and and one point we thought we were going to have to get on ourselves to get him off.

Easter

We had a lot of fun for Easter this year.  Kail did a couple of different egg hunts, and got WAY to much candy.  We tried to prep him for his Day Care egg hunt buy having him hunt for eggs in the kitchen and put them in his bucket the night before.  He loved it.

At Day Care they let the kids find all the eggs and then redistributed them so that everyone got the same amount.  However they had a bit of a problem as Kail decided to redistribute his eggs into the other baskets a couple of times as well as taught the other toddlers that the eggs open and have candy.  

Then we headed down to Gunnison for Great Grandma Hatch's fabulous annual egg hunt.  Kail got very spoiled by his grandma's and again got way too much candy.

And then as if this little one didn't get spoiled enough for Easter all ready. Grandpa Larry and Grandma Jackie got him a chair that is just his size.  He likes to sit on it and have us read to him.

They also gave him a wall plaque with his name on it to hang his stuff from and some sidewalk calk.  Its been too rainy to use the caulk yet but Kail sure does want to get it open.

Thank you to everyone for spoiling our little monkey!

16 Month Old Storytime

March & April

We have been busy the last few weeks.  Kail had his first experience with a pool.  I'll admit he was not a big fan of actually being in the water, but he thought it was funny that if he waved his arms the rest of us would splash the water.  He did lean over and fall in on accident once, Daddy has very quick reflexes.

We also took a trip to Gunnison, Where we had lots of fun chasing poor Lucy. and running around outside.  Clearly we had a lot of fun with cousin Nora too.

On nice days sometimes Kail gets to go to the park.  He really discovered the joy of being outside while in Gunnison and loves doing anything as long as its outside.

We took our first trip to the library.  We went to the one downtown because of their really cool kids area and then mom and Kail got to spend some time feeding the pigeons outside.

Kail has become obsessed with rocks and thought we could bring some home if he hid them from mom first.

We also went to City Creek mall to feed the fish and run around.

Sorry I just thought this one was cute.

Kail discovered our Easter egg stash, he likes to put them in his "oven".  

His favorite toy and Daycare is their kitchen set.

Kail loves to read books, His favorites include a book about a Duck and Cat who become friends.  His thinks its funny when the Cat quacks and the Duck Meow's.  But what he really loves is sitting with Daddy and looking at his Star Wars books.
