My Little Cutie-Pie!

Whistler Snowboarding Trip

Greg and Chris went on their first snowboarding trip of the season. They did the new peak to peak from Whistler to Blackcomb. It was -19 and windy! December 13, 2008.

My musical girl!

Cali loves all her little Buddy's!

Cali's already learning how to fix the truck!

Cute cousins playing together!

Auntie Holly babysat Cali while Greg and I went to his work Christmas party. Thanks for taking our Christmas picture for us Holly! December 6, 2008.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

This was supposed to be Cali's Christmas present, I should have wrapped it when I got home.... Oh well!

My little sweety-pie!

Cali loves her new car seat!

Cali is 9 months old!

Cali is 9 months old now and she weighs almost 19 lbs. Cali is looking like she is on the verge of crawling, she is rolling over so well and she just cruises across the living room floor. We'll have to just wait and see, it might be really soon! Another thing we were anxiously awaiting is Cali's first tooth. People have been saying that she's been teething since she was a couple months old, but no teeth yet. We were actually so sure last week that she was getting her first tooth, but we were wrong! Cali's personality just amazes me everyday, everywhere we go she is making friends and being so social with all the other little ones! I think she is going to be just like her Daddy and have lots of friends! On another note, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Katie's first baby! This is such an exciting time, my first little nephew, I can't wait to meet you! :)

Cali is 8 months old!!

Cali is 8 months old and she weighs almost 18lbs! Cali has been picking up new things by the day lately. She can say baba, mama, dada, nana, nene and she is starting to have little conversations where she looks at you and tells you what's going on! :) Cali is rolling over very easily which she just figured out how to do about 2 weeks ago, she is trying to crawl but usually when her knee goes up her face goes thump on the floor! :) Cali has learned how to feed herself, at first she couldn't figure out how to let go of the food in her mouth, so she would just have a big gooey ball in her hand, but now there is no stopping her! Cali seems to really enjoy music and she loves to wiggle, you just have to say wiggle, wiggle and she bops back and forth! She's so cute and such a little treasure, I never get tired of hearing what a cute baby she is and how lucky I am to have such a happy, smiley baby!

Grandma

Grandma passed away last Saturday, the 11Th of October 2008. This has been really hard for all of us even though we knew that she was ill. I have been having a really hard time because Grandma and I always seemed to clash and I never thought that she really liked me all that much. I was overcome by emotion today when I went to visit my aunt's at Grandma's house. As I looked around the kitchen at all Grandma's things, on the fridge I noticed that there is about 5 pictures with me in them stuck to the door. I just feel so sad because I didn't know that she cared about me so much until I saw all the pictures on her fridge! There are always so many things you wish you could say if you could do it over again. If I had one last chance, I would tell Grandma that I love her and she means a lot to me, and I would wish to hear her say the same back. Grandma, I'll always remember the good times! Love Julie
