Andrew Walks!!!

Last night Andrew took is first steps!





He's been high tailing it around all furniture, walls and anything else he can get ahold of. For fun we thought we'd see if he could walk to his Dad alone and he took 4 or 5 steps 1st try! We then turned him around and he repeatedly walked back and forth between his Mom and Dad. Emily wanted him to walk to her but he was less than motivated...I guess he thought she might attack him (very likely). It was a wise decision on his part!





















Here's a few in motion pictures! A Bit fuzzy but you can still see the smiles on his face!

Dear Dad!

This post is dedicated to our wonderful Dad and Grandpa, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

We love you and we know you love us! "Sugar, Sugar, Sugar!"

Thank you for being a part of our lives. Though we don't get to see you as often as we would like the times we spend with you fill our hearts and our minds with fond memories and smiles! We are excited to see you in July and to make new memories!

Thank you for always supporting us, playing with us, feeding us, being excited to talk to us, spoiling us every now and again and for being a good friend...you are a wonderful Dad and Grandpa! We're so lucky to have you!

You remind us of another great man we know! Must be something in the genes!

Love....XOXOXOX,

Kara, Brian, Emily and Andrew

Wrapping up a wonderful May! Hope you enjoy these postings!

I love these beautiful blue "droopy" eyes! They amaze me!

Happy Graduation Uncle Nate! We love you and are proud of you!

Memorial Weekend with Family

All 6 of the Kearsley Cousins together at last!




Beautiful Teton Valley and a rainbow overlooking the cemetaries.



Brian's Great Uncle passed away recently, we visited his grave as well as his Grandpa Hansen's and other family members'. The cemeteries are beautiful, the Memorial day traditions are rich in this area and I love being a part. We attend a 21-gun salute ceremony each year. Each War Veteran has a flag by his/her grave and it is a humbling sight to see how many there are from even this small corner of the world.



Too cute.

Rigby Lake Triathlon!

The 3rd Annual Rigby Lake Triathlon was held over Memorial Day weekend. I participated the 1st year, it was my 1st triathlon ever! I was big and pregnant last year so I missed out! This year I was back and it was my 4th triathlon. They canceled the swim because there wasn't sufficient water in the lake. I was bummed, but quickly got over it. They replaced the swim with 2 more miles of running. So I guess you could call it a duathlon! A Run-Bike-Run! I got 2nd place in my division!


The Stretch



The Start



One of my FAVORITE parts about racing is seeing my kiddos on the sidelines cheering. So worth it! They are my biggest fans! My only fans!







The dismount and another Mommy wave! I am in love with the bike that I rented!




Waiting for the results and playing with my cheerleaders!

Our Star Performer!

Emily has been a star peformer this month! She had her competition, a big studio recital, a pre-show performance for a local choir and a service performanc at a retirement home. Her great-grandparents Kearsley live at that retirement home so she was especially "showy" for them. She is a performer through and through! If I can ever figure out how to post video I will show you some of her funniest on stage moments!

Anyone who knows Emily has heard about her "best-friend" Harlie! Here they are!

No more Curls!

Half buzzed!





On May 4th, after we got back from Utah we decided it was time... Andrew's 1st hair cut was a difficult one for me. I couldn't bare to part with his curls. Now that it's done it is obvious that it was a good move, he is so handsome! He's now officially a little boy!
