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.

Trying on her Aeriel shoes
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!

Hmmmm...cute or mischievous?

Exhibit A: Kaydee looking oh so cute as she models her new outfit with matching sandals
Exhibit B: crayon all over the back of my white chair
And the kitchen chair
And on Daddy's shirt ...while he was wearing it! How did she do this, you might ask? I don't really know except that she was behind him at the table and we were talking...I couldn't see her and thought she was playing. Chris was really tired as he had been working late a lot that week and he must have thought she was scratching his back or something..little did he know! Thankfully, I know how to use a bottle of Shout!

Conclusion: Mischievous, but she's cute anyway!

Her new thing to say after she makes a mess whether intentional or not, is "That's OK..."

Silly pictures of my babies

Kaydee enjoying their new bench by their flower garden
CJ having a little Starbucks treat on our front porch
CJ cracks me up! On this day it was almost unbearably hot! That's no hill for this high stepper! Here he gets creative and uses the wagon umbrella for shade on his bike.

That worked so well, that he decided that the umbrella could have other uses..such as for "jousting"...CJ style!

" I need a band-aid"

In our house, boo-boos have become a big deal ever since I purchased care bear band-aids for Kaydee and Diego ones for CJ. Lately, anytime they get hurt, the first thing they say is, "I need a band-aid" whether they are bleeding or not! :-)

When Kaydee hurt her toe outside the other day, CJ was so cute about it, I had to capture the moment!

CJ sat her down on her princess car, grabbed the spray, and told her, "Don't worry Kaydee, CJ will make it all better!"
Putting the care bear band-aid on
Kissing her toe-toe to make it better
And then the ice! It was so sweet and he did make her feel better!
