Kekoa Shane Crofts

Mommy and Daddy and their new little addition in the hospital shortly after Koa was born. Everything went so well. From 9:00 am to 2:30 pm and 2 pushes our KoKo bear was here.

Daddy and his little boy. It was so cute to wake up in the hospital and find Daddy just staring down at his little boy for hours.

Kealani loves her baby brother!!! When we came home she hadn't even missed us. All she wanted to do was see and hold Koa shane. She is already such a great big sister!

Daddy and Koa Shane watching the BYU bowl game. Go Cougars!!!!!

Kealani is so excited for Christmas. She loves to sit by the tree and look at her reflection in the ornaments.

Kealani was so happy to go to the ward Christmas party and see Santa. He gave her these two bags filled with goodies that she could not be separated from! Kea's favorite movie is ELF. So, as soon as Santa walked in the room Kea SHOUTS, "SSSSANTA!!!! I know him!!!!!!" When she finally got her turn to sit on his lap she exclaimed, "I'm a good girl! I went potty! And I stay in my bed!" Poor Santa, we had to assure him that she didn't just go potty, but that it is a talent of hers. We can't wait for Christmas this year...we have been blessed with so much!!

NOVEMBER

Preschool has been a lot fun! Kea has 5 good friends that participate every week. They do lessons, books, and songs. The week before the holiday we learned about Thanksgiving and then made turkeys or as Kea loves to call it, her gobble gobble. Kea loved her gobble gobble so much that she could barely stand to wait for daddy to come home to see it. The moment he walked in the door she yelled, yay!! I eat gobble gobble!

What a big girl Kealani is becoming. She is my social butterfly, she loves to talk to everyone and is learning to talk like a princess. She has gotten very good at saying, "May I have it please?".

Kealani loves having her daddy time! One of Kealani's new phrases is, "I have idea... how 'bout..." and then she fill the rest in with whatever she wants to do. "how 'bout walk outside, how 'bout play toys with mommy, how 'bout go to Papa's house. She seems so grown up!

Thanksgiving morning at Mom and Dad's house. As always we have our super unhealthy but oh so delicious breakfast, pies!! Mom makes like 10 pies and a few quiches and we munch till we are sick. It was so good! Rhianna and Brad came as well!!! We played for the day, and then had an awesome dinner at Mom and Dad's.

Our little getaway to a resort. We had 2 nights free at this amazing resort. We took Kealani one day, and then came back another just the two of us.

Tommy and Kea by the family pool. The place was even more beautiful at night with flames and fountains all over the grounds.

After a big weekend at the resort and picking out a big girl bed for Kea (given to her from GG with love) our little girl was so exhausted she feel asleep as soon as Daddy turned on the car.

Back at the resort just Tommy and I. It was so fun to be pampered and relax before we have a little newborn in the house.

Mom threw me an amazing baby shower. She made everything light lime green, black, and white...the colors of his room. We played lots of fun games and had such amazing food. Thanks mom for all your hard work, it really was a memorable experience!!

Baby Brother's room. The baby has an amazing crib set that was gifted to him from his Great Grandma Lemmon. It is so beautiful!!!

Kealani finally got a big girl bed. Just like her favorite friend, Lexie. She was so excited to climb in all by herself. It is a twin bed that we got at Ikea (thanks so much GG!!) We also put a "tent" above it with white daises and pink bows. The room was complete as soon as we put up pink blackout curtains to block that early morning summer sun in AZ. It is so fun to see how much she loves to be a big girl. As soon as anyone comes to the house she asks them if they want to see her big girl bed.
