This is what happens when you get dressed in the dark


Last night we were going to hang out with TG's family. TG went to start the car and left me to turn off all the lights and lock up. I have a couple pairs of shoes right by my door, so I put my shoes on and got into my car. It wasn't until my sister-in-law pointed out my shoes that I realized I had two different shoes on. It was so funny because the shoes are totally different yet they felt the same when I put them on. Luckily we didn't go out in public that night.

Here are a couple videos of Keilani. The first one is of her rolling over. Last week she started to roll over from her stomach to her back. She has been trying to roll from her back to her stomach, but still hasn't managed to do it yet. The second video is kind of long, but I think it's cute.

NCAA Tournament


TG's brother Tai plays basketball for Utah State and they made it to the NCAA Tournament. On Sunday when they were announcing the tournament seeds we were just hoping that Utah State would play close enough for TG and his brothers to go watch Tai. We were so excited when we found out they would play in Boise and even more excited to find out that Tai was able to get enough tickets for the wives to go too. We packed up our car and Keilani and headed up to Boise on Thursday night. This was Keilani's first real road trip. She did great at first, but then she got really bored, so she started to fuss a little. I decided to sit in the back with her, but that was an even bigger mistake because she knew I was there and didn't understand why I just wouldn't pick her up. We pulled over to feed her and once I pulled her out of her car seat she was a happy camper. I fed her and then had to put her back in her car seat again, which she did not like one bit. After about 10 minutes of crying she finally fell asleep until we reached Boise. The game was at 10:30 on Friday morning. They stuck most of the fans and the family members in the higher seats which stunk because we couldn't get very good pictures. The game was awesome and so close. Utah State started out sluggish, but then came out strong after halftime. They ended up losing by 1 point, it was heartbreaking. Tai played awesome and we are so proud of him! I think my favorite thing about the game was watching TG and his brothers cheer. TG is usually pretty calm when watching Tai play, but not in this game. I have never seen TG get so into a game. He was high-fiving strangers, it was hilarious. I ended up making him switch seats with my sister-in-law, Montell, because he was yelling so loud that it was scaring Keilani. By the end of the game TG and Mekeli were sweating as though they had just played in the game. Keilani was extremely excited when the game was finally over. She has gone to almost every one of Tai's home games this year and has loved them, but she absolutely hated this game, mostly because the cheering was so loud and it scared her. After the game we were exhausted and decided to head home, so we could sleep in our own beds. Keilani did much better on the drive back. She was so tired and slept the whole drive home. Though our little trip was cut short, we had so much fun cheering for Tai and being with family.

We sat in the seats on the second level

This isn't a very clear picture, but we were so far up

3 Months Old!

I should probably change the name of our blog to Keilani's Blog because all my blogs are about Keilani, but she is more fun to photograph and talk about. Anyway, Keilani is now 3 months and 1 week old. She just got over her first cold and hopefully it's her only one of the season. She absolutely loves the sound of her voice and is constantly talking. Keilani now loves bath time. She especially loves to kick the water with her feet. I just bought her the bumbo and she still isn't quite sure what to think of it. She has a little bit of a bobble head when she sits in it, but gets better and better at controlling her head the more she sits in it.
TG and I have been super busy with both of us working. I have been back to work for 6 weeks now and am counting down the days until I can stay home with my little girl. When I found out I was pregnant and due in the middle of the school year I decided that I would go back to work after I had Keilani to finish out the school year. Little did I know how hard it would be. It has honestly been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but luckily I have the best family in the world. My awesome sister-in-law, Carli, volunteered to babysit Keilani even before she was born. She has a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old of her own, so she already has her hands full, but that didn't stop her from offering. She watches Keilani Monday-Thursday and then my mom watches her on Fridays. I hope that these two understand how much it means to me to have them watch Keilani. Thank you so much Carli and Mom! You guys are the best!

Here are some more pictures that I took of Keilani this week.

Fun pictures of Kei

I just can't get enough of our little girl. She is smiling so much and I'm obsessed with taking pictures of her. Here are some fun pictures I took after church yesterday.








My friend Stacy gave this cute outfit to Keilani in December and she hasn't been able to wear it yet, so I thought I would put her in it for our Sunday walk.
