Another Beauty Lesson

When Nana and Auntie Dee were getting ready, Kaydee seized the opportunity for another make-up lesson. They were all too happy to indulge her! After each step, Kaydee kept asking them..."Now what?"

Day 2 brings some R and R

Cuddling with Kelby

Piggy-back fun

After the long two-day journey here, and an uncooperative van which we affectionately dubbed "Bessie", Poppy needed a day to recover! Here he was zonked!

Uh oh! KK looks like a mouse!

You're Finally Here!

The first week of June my family came down for a visit and we thought they would never get here!!

Goldilocks Syndrome

This one is tooo small!

Now this is just...right!

I didn't know Goldilocks lived at our house!!! These two will do anything to procrastinate bedtime! :-)

A Room for a Princess

W recently took down Kaydee's crib and while we were moving in her toddler bed, we decided to rearrange her whole room! It turned out great and she loves it!

Milkshake fun!

Early to Rise...

On this particular day, CJ got up entirely too early!

Memorial Day Fun!

For Memorial Day, we went to the pool for the first time this season and then we went back home to grill out!

I love my Daddy!

Kaydee with Daddy...ever since this day, she will say"I wen' undu!" (I went under) She was so excited about it!

KOW-A-BUN-GA!

Girls' Day Out!

While the boys were out having their fun, Kaydee and I decided to have some fun of our own! When I asked Kaydee what she wanted to do, she quickly responded, "shoppin'!" I asked her what she wanted to shop for...toys, clothes, shoes...she quickly and excitedly replied..."shoes! I wanna go shoppin' fo' shoes!" A girl after my own heart!! She does love her shoes! We decided to have lunch at our favorite burger place, Cheesy Janes, and then on to shoe shopping.

These are the ones...they even light up! The box was almost as big as Kaydee but she was determined to carry her shoes!

We had a ball shopping for shoes and a few clothes too...we had to find an outfit to match her new shoes, right? Chris thinks we better start saving now for her teenage years if she is this obsessed with shoes at the age of 2!

It was fun to do a girly day and by the time we got home, the guys had returned from their kayaking trip.

Guys' Day

A few weeks ago our friend, Ramsey, invited Chris and CJ to go kayaking in his new kayak...well, both CJ and Chris jumped at the opportunity! Ramsey picked them up in the morning, and off they went for their guys' day at the San Marcos River. I am happy to report that aside from one tip over, ( thank goodness for life jackets) they had a great time! Thankfully, where they were, was a very calm part of the river and despite being somewhat scared by the fall, CJ hopped right back on and went again! One of the highlights for CJ was that he saw lots of turtles and even held one! They finished the day off with lunch at CJ's favorite place, Chile's. Unfortunately, because of the water, they were unable to take a camera with them but I did get a picture before they left. A great time was had by all...Chris and CJ can't wait to go again!

Ramsey, Chris, and CJ anxious to begin their guys' day!
