Kiddos

I know I haven't kept up with since Kaci was born. Winter has been a bore. Snow, ice, wind, and more ice...typical Kodiak. Not much going on so I thought that I would talk about the kids and how much they are changing.
Starting with A.J. He is saying a few things these days like: "thank you", "baby", "puppy", "mommy", "ooce (juice)", "hi", "bye", but the cutest has to be "strawberry". He pronounces it "strawbee". He is a strawberry fiend. He gets so excited when he sees them, eats them or even hears some else say the word. One day I bought some and not thinking I put them on the bottom self in the fridge. Low and behold I open the fridge to get something and A.J. sees them, grabs the whole box and runs over to the corner and starts chomping them as fast as he could. It was so funny!There is only one other word that brings that much joy to A.J. and that is hockey. He pronounces it, "hoc". If he hears either of us say hockey he shouts "hoc" and runs to get his gear. A.J. gets so upset when he sees Randy get his gear ready and then leave without him. Just to show how determined A.J. is to get on the ice: one night he saw Randy getting ready for hockey. Randy left the bag by the door to do something else. A.J. opened the hockey bag and started taking unessential gear out. Once satisfied that there was enough room inside the bag he climbed in ready to go play hockey!A.J. is a hoot. He turns 2 on April 2nd. Can't wait to see what crazy things he has in store for us.

He loves his little sister. He calls her "baby" since he hasn't figured out how to say Kaci. They smile and giggle. I love it when he gives her kisses or puts his arm around her when they are watching TV. She smiles from my shoulder as she watches him play. Kaci is almost 5 months old already. She has huge dimples and the biggest grin; her whole face lights up when she smiles. She is starting to sit up by herself she giggles when I catch her as she tips over. She just started eating things other than formula. She shuddered the first time I gave her applesauce and then continued to eat it.

We are really looking forward to getting of the "Rock" for a spell. Sounds like we are going to have a blast with Moab, a sealing, Randy-Ike-n-A.J.'s birthday party and just getting to visit. Kaci will finally get to meet some of her aunts, uncles and cousins. I have a feeling that she is going to have them wrapped around her little finger.
