The Weekend

Grandma and Grandpa took Kate this past weekend while I was at a volleyball tournament with my club team. She loves it there. Here is a bit of what went on, written by my mom.

Kate Capades

Best line of the weekend:
"This morning she said, (referring to her magazine) [this is a fisher price toy magazine]
"It is messed up and I'm not happy!"

We lost her in Raegan's BIG house. She was hiding and would not answer us calling her. For a few minutes I started to panic and thought how am I going to explain THIS to Troy!

She pottied once in the toilet. Immediately, she says, "Grandpa come and see"

She ate myrrh. Bob looked up myrrh poisoning. She would have had to eat a lot to have minor stomach problems. She was fine!

Her and Knox FLOODED the bathroom the first night. The second night they really FLOODED the bathroom. No more cups in the bathtub with those two gigglers.

Best toy of the weekend - "Fisher Price" advertisement catalog.

The good news is she only hit a couple of times that I saw. (I'm not sure what happened at Raegan's) She never whined or threw fits.... started to after her Mother arrived today!

After she drove away, Hans said I wish Kate lived in Nevada. I miss her.

Ditto from Grandma!

Just some funnies

The other day I got it in my head we were going to go for a walk. It was sunny and looked so nice, little did I know it was in the 20's outside. But you can't tell a 2 year old no after you say we are going to go see the horses at the park. So we got Kate's baby and baby stroller and headed to the park. I of course ended up carrying both Kate, baby and the baby stroller. We made it to the horse. The horse gave us a side glance and continued chewing on the hay. Kate said "horsey come over here" ...and it did the horse walked right over to Kate and put its head down to her level. It was a little strange, but I swear that horse heard her and obeyed. This isn't the first time either.

My grandfather raised horses. My mom said he was a lot like the man in the movie the Horse Whisperer. Kate's birth mom loves horses too. I hope to give Kate the opportunity to ride horses if she wants to. It seams like she may be a little horse whisperer herself.

Sunday night we turned on the TV and started watching ice skating. Troy asked Kate if she wanted to be an ice skater. (there was this little 10 year old boy who was amazing) Kate immediately jumps up and starts skating around the kitchen, pushing with her feet like the skaters on TV, then the girl on TV pulls her foot up over her head. Kate stops, stick out her bum, grabs her foot and tries to pull it up over her head. I was laughing so hard. She is such a little character sometimes, no, all the time.

She is constantly talking now. She even makes up stories. Basically it is lying but in a healthy way. It is normal childhood development Troy says. He read all about it once. She is using her imagination. Like yesterday at lunch she is telling me about her brother and sister which don't exist.

We love the Walt Disney Princesses. We listen to Pandora.com radio and have a station just for all the Disney music. She can tell me the movie as soon as she hears the song. We dance and sing every day.

Well no pictures this blog but I will try to get some on soon. We got a little video of the skating. I hope it turned out.

Sledding.

Christmas Eve we went sledding. SO FUN!! All of Troy's family but the Marrow's were their. (sad) Kate and Troy didn't want to go home.








Huebner Clan




Troy played with his RC snowmobile.

After it was pizza and games.

Christmas Time

Kate had g-ma and Pa playing all day with her and the new Christmas toys she received.
We continue to spoil her I admit it. But it is really fun.

How many Christmas dresses can one 2.5 year old have. Well this year it is 3. I only bought one of them. (better than the first year when I bought 6) We have the best neighbors and are thankful for their donations.

I love this picture! Everyone looks great. Check out Pa's new glasses.

Quick pics

Kate looked in the mirror after this hair-do and said I am sleeping beauty. Here she is practicing for future piano recitals.




The pose.


Always got to "See" the pictures.


Big CHEESE!


Can you say trouble maker!


Just in case you are wondering we are wearing our PJ's. Comfy and cozy in the house. Instead of being all stressed out about what to wear and match or will Kate destroy her hair before Kat comes to take our picture we went with the casual look. I highly recommend it.

I can never figure out the video posting thing so this is a trial. I hope to figure it out soon.

Just being Cute

The last month

Kate loves Mac, Mac loves Kate but sometimes "mackie did it" and I see a scratch on her hand.

We have been having a very fun October. We made our annual ride to the pumpkin house to buy our pumpkins. We loaded up the bike trailer and Kate had fun riding with the pumpkins. She says a lot now. "spooky halloween night...Boo!" is my favorite when she sees a yard all made up for halloween.

We have a streaker in the house. Notice the pile of clothes and the diaper on the floor.

We had a fun Saturday with Dad at the Park and then went and bought "Kate's big girl bed."

Last week we hit Disneyland with record numbers of people. It was supposed to be a slower time of the year but no way. IT was so crowded they added 2 extra shows of Fantasmic one night. I had a blast anyways. It was fun to see Kate's reaction to the Disney Land characters. She now loves the princesses. She also had her first public tantrum waiting in line to see the princesses. It was all my fault. I took a bite of her fruit bar and she "wanted the big one" not one with a missing piece. We jumped out of line and went and had lunch with our friends.

We swam inthe hotel pool, got no sleep, saw aunt Brianne and old friends from San Jose days.

I love Disney land. Troy says every 5 years but maybe I can talk him into going again sooner than that.

Night number one

Day 2 still happy

Little sleepy. It was hot waiting for the dumbo ride.

We always ran into the characters at the right time, when no one was around.

California adventure had some of our favorite rides. Toy Story, Monsters Inc, the Aladin show, and It's a Bugs life water park for kids.

Silly faces with aunt Bri.

Krissa is a good buddy.

This is the water park. About two seconds later Kate was running naked away from me down the street. Too bad we didn't have a video camera on her. It was so funny.

Kate liked the characters but wouldn't go see them by herself.

Aunt Brianne bought Kate a Princess plate and stickers. Kate loves the stickers and her closet walls are full of them.

The end.
