A new bubble machine!

One of the best clearance finds ever according to my daughter. I guess what could be better to a kid than a battery operated bubble blower? It has brought a lot of joyness to Kaya for sure!

Waching her be happy, in turn makes me happy too.

Sterk Gathering

Kaya tickling Tyler. She always wantes to tickle his cheeks. She loves it, but I am not so sure that he does.

Great Grandma Sterk with Tyler.

Rest In Peace Papa.

We had the memorial service today for my papa, Amos Andrew Lilly. Kaya wanted to wear her hair down special for the service. She really enjoyed him, and I am so thankful she got to have a great grandfather as long as she did. What a special time for him and her to be able to share together. Here she is at the lunch riding the horse.

My mom and her cousins together for the first time in a long time.

Big Star with the Sutter's

Jer's parents and Auntie Karen let us have Abby and the family up to the trailer's overnight. The kids had so much fun playing together.

The whole Sutter family. Dylan is hiding from the sun under the blanket though.

Project

Kaya loves crafts lately. Here she is painting a birdhouse.

Crazy times in life.

Our neighbor had this play house at his dad's house for us but we had to go get it from about a half mile away from our house. This is what we had to do with it! Kaya thought it was hilarious, and I was slightly embarassed of course.

Blissfest 2009

We got to go to Blissfest this year! Kaya and I went with the Sutter family and Abby's mom and Michelle. We had just an aweosme time and perfect weather. Kaya is in love with dancing, and wearing dresses, and running free, so she was in her prime all weekend. She is just so much fun now. We truly had a great weekend together. I loved so many pics I posted a lot of them for you. Sorry. I couldn't cut them out.

This guy let Kaya and Kaleb play on his drum set. They both absolutely loved it!


Kaya watching the guy make HUGE bubbles. I tried and could not get it to work right for the life of me!

My girl. I love her to pieces.
The stage at night. One of my favorite places ever.

Dancing her heart away. Priceless.

In the stroller passed out!

Right before we left she got her face painted and chose this rainbow. She did not want to leave. We had such a great time together.

4th of July weekend

We were at Big Star again for the weekend! I hardly took any pictures either, not sure why. I got a few though.

We caught lots of fish, and Kaya helped Jer clean them! Well, watched atleast.

Here's our catch! We even had a fish fry, and man was it awesome!

Watching so intently.

We saw a porcupine too! I had never seen one in the wild, it was pretty cool. THis is actually a baby. The mama was about 30 feet back in the woods, and she was huge! I could not get her picture because she was too far away and quite hidden.
I love this pic of my 2 favorite people in the whole wide world!
Me and my girl.
