Kai is an active and happy boy.
I think he's checking out the
mechanics of his walker already.

Thanks to Jim and Judy, we were able to go on tour (for Justin's job) with the BYU-H choir to China and Mongolia. Grampa and Grandma Smith flew over and stayed at our house for 2 weeks to tend Kai. It was an amazing experience. Thanks again Jim and Judy. Kai took to them very well. In fact, he prefered them over mommy when see flew home from China.

The Marlers and friends came into town. So we had to hit the beach again---can't get too much of it. We had a great time with them and I'm pretty sure Bart left Hawaii with a perma-grin.

Kai is wearing one of Justin's old outfits (about 8 months or so later than Justin did). What a doll!

Beach time!

My two angels!

Easter Sunday...

Kai's first Easter egg hunt. Kai finds the eggs, Mommy gets the candy. Fair trade, right?

A REAL Easter bunny -- two weeks old.

Petting farm -- When he's not tugging their ears and pulling their tails, Kai really enjoys animals. Not sure the animals enjoy Kai, though. He's still getting down "be soft" and "be nice", but he'll surprise us every now and again with a kind pat, like here with the baby pig and goat.

...more eggs.

Show mommy how the piggy's eat...

Kai is playing on his friends toys...

Nice and curly in the back...

"Happy First" -- Since many weren't at the party in January, we wanted you to know he got his traditional fill of chocolate cake.

PRO BOWL 2007

"On your marks..." -- Kristie and Justin get ready for a skills challenge of their own. Kristie won the best-of-three showdown 2-1.

Warren Moon takes a time-out to pose w/ Steve Y..., I mean Justin

"Up close" -- The Pro Bowl Skills Challenge...awesome. The best of the best showing-off their football skilz in the "Best Hands" Competition, Fastest Man, Strongest Man, Former Greats Flag Football, and the Quarterback Challenge (below is Steve Smith, prepin' w/ Boomer & Carson Palmer).














...nice hands, Steve.

Before his dislocated elbow, Drew Brees was on target during the "Quarterback Challenge."

"JR hits Hawaii" -- Some pics from our concert at the Polynesian
Cultural Center in January.

Happy New Year
Park City, 2007

"Buddies...(Eli 'n Kai)"

"Hey cuz, think they'll stop talkin' and feed us already" -- Kristie and Holly feed their hungry boys and 'talk story' about motherhood.
















"I'm full." "Yup, me too."

"Bundled up for his first snow" -- Christmas break was fantastic. Ten days in ID; ten days in UT. Felt like we had some real quality time with family and friends. Plenty of eats, hoops, naps, poops, colds, droops, visits, soups, and some great football on the tube...still can't believe those BSU Broncos.
