June Update

Things at the Palmer House have been very exciting. Kambree is walking everywhere. She would rather walk than crawl. She is SO funny. She loves to play and laugh and talk....oh this girl can TALK! She talks to herself, her toys, her hand, the walls, anything.

She is such a good little girl. She is a wonderful eater. Too good, she's 10 months old and we have to buy her her own meal when we go out to eat. We have so much fun with her.

Right now we are calling her 'Count Kambree' because she has 2 fangs for top teeth. The middle ones haven't come in but the 2 outside ones have come in. It is very funny looking...

Since we are going back to Montana we decided to have some fun with Kambree and her friends. We got together to do some fingerpainting. Surprisingly it was not as messy as we thought it would be.

First Steps

So Kambree took her first steps a couple of weeks ago but we couldn't get them on camera. Well, today we did! Kambree is walking....a little :)

Montana

An unexpected trip to Montana at the end of April was a great time for Kambree to spend time with family and friends. The best part....I got to introduce her to the BEST taco pizza ever. If you haven't had Taco Pizza from Fireside, you are missing out. It should be on the list of 1000 things to do before you die.

Cousin Isaiah was so fun to play with. He was great with kambree. He loved giving her 'gentle' hugs. What a cutie!

She got her first real bubble bath. She took a bath in a giant tub with her 2 cousins Dylon and Heidi.....she learned how to splash from them!

Easter Party

We took Kambree to an Easter Party with her friends Jaxon and Hannah. She was all dressed up so we decided to go see the Easter Bunny. Surprisingly she did better with him than with Santa. She sat nicely and let me get a good picture. No tears at all!

They all had fun at the Easter Party. They got lots of treats and even had an easter egg hunt. They actually did much better than I was expecting with the egg hunt. We were looking for a good excuse for them to wear their Easter clothes so this was perfect.

Kambree got to try Peeps, giant rice krispies, fruity cheerios, jello, and pizza. Of course, she loved it all.

Chicago

When Kyle had to go to a recruiting event in Chicago, Kambree and I had to go along. Staci and Will were so nice in giving us a tour of the city. We ate Chicago dogs across from Wrigley Field, saw the sites and ended the day with Chicago style pizza. The only bummer was that the weather was so cold we really couldn't get out of the car. That just means we'll have to go back!

On the way home, we took Kambree to the Mississippi River. It was a good excuse to get out of the car and stretch our legs. Kyle and Kambree chased a goose and she thought that was pretty fun.

This is Kambree's favorite sound to make when she gets excited.

Congratulations Kyle

Kyle's team made it to the NAIA National Tournament. They were in Branson, MO for a week. The guys won their first game and lost their second. It was REALLY close. They lost to the #1 ranked team in the country. Kambree and I watched the games online and cheered for them the whole time.

It was a great season. We had a great group of guys to follow. We think next year will be even better. Congratulations guys!

Kambree doesn't have any new tricks lately, just keeping busy crawling around, pulling herself up on everything and exploring. She likes to have you 'chase' her. She laughs and crawls as fast as she can all over the house. She has been sick the last couple of days but I am hoping that means she is getting some teeth. I don't see anything but we think we might feel one....who knows! For Valentine's Day, Kyle gave Kambree this little outfit. He is a very good shopper. He picks out the cutest things for her.

We are going to a St. Patrick's Day parade with her friends Hannah and Jaxon. She always likes playing with them. She just watches them and checks out what they are doing. She is so nosey.

When Kambree and I went to Boise, Kambree was snuggled by Aunt Kris. She fed Kambree her first Cheeto. Kambree LOVED it but boy was it a mess! I'm glad Kris gave it to her and not me. I guess I'll have to stock up. Actually, Kambree loves just about anything she eats and she eats lots! Some of her favorites are applesauce, yogurt, and puffs.

Bathtime is always fun. Kambree loves her water hot and her toys chewy. She is still so small she gets a bath in the sink. It's so much easier to reach! I think she would sit in the bath all day if I let her. We have not done a bubble bath, yet. I think I'll leave that for her grandma.

She does like to get all bundled up and snuggle after her bath. She usually looks like a little burrito.
