Guess Who Came To Our House...

LOOK Santa came!!!

Uhhh...I don't think Khloe knows what to think:)

Santa brought me just what I asked for...a KITCHEN

Christmas was so fun this year! I'm glad we were home for Aiya to get to experience Santa coming to her house. She was sooo excited and talks about Santa and Christmas still to this day! I think she'll do great with helping Khloe to understand next year:) Khloe did have fun, even if she didn't know what was going on. We had such a good Christmas. I just feel so blessed. I love my family so much and seeing what makes them happy gives me the greatest joy I could ever have. I love you Aiya, Khloe, and Brandon!!!

Getting Ready for Santa to Come...

Aiya's Actual Birthday...

So I know I did a post about Aiya's Birthday party, but this is of her actual birthday and what we did just our little family. We had so much fun! We got up and made her pancakes, eggs, and bacon. She loved the pancakes and bacon, but not so fond of the eggs. After that we went on our way to go have fun the whole day!!! Here's what we did...

Our little 2 yr old princess...

                      We went to Ice Age 3, she LOVES Ice Age, especially Diego:)...                  

After the movie we went to Cornbelly's and she rode the cow train...

      She actually went through "The Belly of the Beast"(this picture was taken afterwords and she was AWESOME through it! What a BRAVE girl!)

   She loved the princess carriage because she is our little princess...

                   At the end of it all we let her pick out her own pumpkin and she wanted 

                      to carry it with no help! Big 2 yr old now:) (Notice the tongue, haha)

We just love our little Aiya! I hope she had a very happy birthday! I know we had so much fun with her! Two years goes by way too fast! My baby is just growing up:( We love her and hope she had a way fun birthday!!!

Aiya's 2 Year Birthday Party!

So our little Aiya is growing up:( She's officially entered the "terrible 2's"! For the most part she is a pretty darn good little 2 yr. old. We couldn't ask fo a better little girl. She is such a sweetheart and we just love and adore her to pieces! Khloe thinks she is the shiz niz!!! We had such a fun little party with our friends and family there to support her. Thanks so much for all of you that came and celebrated with her! Just think, two short years ago we met her for the first time and our lives changed for the better forever.

She went from this....

To this...

Aiya loves to say cheese and look away from the camera:)

She loved opening her presents this year and said "oh cute" for everything!

We tried and tried to get her to pick a princess cake, but she wants what she wants, and that's BOLT! So we made it girly with pink icing! 

Blowing out her candle:0

Hangin with my girls after the party. Too much fun:)

WE LOVE YOU AIYA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Love, 

Daddy, Mommy, and Khloe

WATER WORLD Denver, CO August 2009

During our summer in Denver we decided to go to Water World with a bunch of our friends that we sell with every summer. At first I didn't want to go because Khloe was barely 3 months old, but we all went and had a blast! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of Khloe or the people we went with, so that kinda makes me sad. As you can see in the pictures below, Aiya is our little fish, water doesn't scare her one bit! She was going down any slide Brandon would take her on and loving every minute of it! I just love her! Here's a picture of her at 20 months! I just love those legs!!!

On this ride, they went through a long dark tunnel and she came out smiling and laughing!

She did this one a few times!

Aiya is totally a daddy's girl!!!

Aiya pushing someones tubes with her friend Eden...oops!

This is Aiya getting her lunch all over her face and completely tuckered out! She had so much fun she could barely keep her eyes open long enough to eat. It's too bad I didn't get Khloe in any of these:( Anyway, we had so much fun and all I can say is I LOVE my girls and love seeing what makes them happy, it's the BEST feeling in the world! And I love seeing Brandon in all of it with them...he is the biggest kid of all! Love you guys!

5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in HAWAII!!!!

Brandon and I just celebrated our 5 year on August 27th! It was so much fun! We were able to go away to paradise and just be together. We did so many fun things! (I'll tell what each are above each picture) It was weird the first few days not having to plan around feeding times, naps, and bed time! This was actually our 3rd time to Oahu, but we never did half of the stuff we did this time around. We did some other stuff like jet ski's and snorkeling that we didn't get pictures of:( Everyday was filled with fun activities, and if we weren't doing those then we would go to the beach and layout or Brandon would surf. So much fun! 

So this was when we first got there and the view from our room!

This is China-mans hat on our way up to the North Shore

Brandon cliff diving into the ocean! (I'm too big of a wuss, haha!)

Picture of us at the Laie Hawaii Temple. Gorgeous!!

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor

Waikiki Beach watching paddle board competition

Brandon attempting to surf with the paddle (harder than it looks)

This was at the end of our jungle excursion, above where they film Lost!

Our ATV ride at Kualoa Ranch (also where they filmed Jurassic Park & Lost)

BEST thing we did! Helicopter tour of Oahu!

Last day hangin out at the beach before our plane left. It was one of the best beaches! Very private with white sand and amazing view! So fun and we got fried!

This was a blast! Thanks to my sista Tiffany for watching our girls! Thank you so much hun for an amazing anniversary! You work so hard and I'm just happy that we could go spend some time alone. Thanks for all you do for our family. You are an amazing husband and father to our girls. These past 5 years have been great and it seems like every year gets better. We have been through so much, but you are truly my best friend and I'd do anything for you and the girls. I'm so greatful that we have eternity together with our family. I love you so much and I always have and always will.

Khloe Candice Leatherberry is here...

So our little angel is here! I know, she got here like 3 months ago, but we didn't have internet til just recently:) Anyway, she was born May 13th, weighed 7lbs 4oz., and 20 inches long! It was tied for the best day of our lives (Aiya's birthday:))! Things went so well this time around. I couldn't imagine the love that I would feel when a 2nd child came into our family, and I still can't believe how much love I have for my two beautiful daughters. She is a true blessing in our family. These past almost 3 months have been so great! She is such an amazing baby. Khloe takes after Aiya by having such a sweet spirit that just draws you in. She is so happy and such a calm baby. Aiya loves Khloe so much and can't wait til she gets older to play with her. It's so fun to see the two of them together and the way they interact with one another. You can just see how much love they have for each other. Aiya is always going to be there for Khloe. She already plays the role of "little mommy". Loves to hold her, feed her, and burp her. I could go on and on...they are the greatest blessings in my life. I'm so glad Khloe came to join our family. I couldn't imagine our family any other way...
