Party Time!!

On Saturday we celebrated Kayleigh's 2nd birthday. We had a great time and I think she had a lot of fun. Thank you for everyone who came, my mom for helping us put it all together, and of course Jared and Carrie for letting us use their beautiful new house. Kayleigh is not around other children that often and we have a lot of fun seeing that side of her personality. We would never call her shy, but around all those kids she is definitely more of the observer. She had a blast until it was cake time. Then you would think someone was torturing Tinkerbell. When the knife hit the cake she about lost it. She didn't even end up eating any of it! The last two days she has probably told me a few dozen times how she told grandma, "no grandma, no cut, no cut, no knife, no cut my cake!" I think she just thought her Tinkerbell cake was so beautiful she did not want to see it cut into pieces. She loves all of her new toys, books, dolls, clothes, hair things, and movies. Josh and I spent Sunday organizing her toys into big bins in the garage. Each morning I bring a new bin into the house for her to play with. This is working great. She is not overwhelmed by too many toys and it is like new toys each day, not to mention easier clean up. I hope everyone had a good time at the party. Thank you to Shannon for sending me some really great pictures. Kaykay says thank you to everyone as well!!

Doctor Day

Today we took the girls to the Doctor. Kayleigh had her two year visit and Taylor had her two month visit. Both girls did outstanding. Kayleigh did not cry after her shot and even got a sucker and stickers. Kaykay was very proud of herself. Taylor cried a bit but only for a minute. Kayleigh weighed in at 24 pounds and Taylor was 12 pounds. Both girls are napping now. I think they were tuckered out after such a busy morning!

Kayleigh's Birthday

Kayleigh is 2!!

Today was Kaykay's second birthday! She was acting like a true two year old today. If today was an indicator of the rest of the year- we all better watch out! She was a bit sassy, but I let her get away with it a bit because it was her special day. She woke up and ate her favorites- french toast with dip, eggs with ham and cheese, and oatmeal! Josh had work 9hrs then class 4hrs today, but we did meet him for lunch a Peter Piper. Kayleigh loves pizza and loves playing there. Josh did yell at some highschoolers for using inappropriate language around our kids- I was so impressed, but felt so old. Then it was nap time for Kayleigh, Ernie, and Bert (Mommy too). Grandma Lisa came over after work and took us to Greek for dinner for some Pita and tzatziki. Then for the grand finale we had some chocolate ice cream cones. I can not believe my girl is two! Time is just flying by and we are having so much fun. She talks up a storm and impresses us with new things everyday. She is a smart beautiful little girl that we are very lucky to have as our daughter!

Wisconsin

Wisconsin

My parents and I took the girls to Wisconsin last week. We had so much fun! We got frozen custard at Kopps, went to a wine festival, and played with all of our family. Getting there was a bit rough. The airlines did not let us sit together because of oxygen requirements and the DVD battery only last for 2 hours. But we still made it. Kayleigh absolutely loved WI. The weather was perfect, so she spent all of her time outside in the grass. Taylor loved getting to take all of her naps cuddled in someones arms. We got home last night. Kaykay was so dang tired that she feel asleep in her highchair today at lunch. Definitely something that has never happened. We loved getting to see everyone and already miss them. Hopefully they will all be out to visit us soon!

Our Fun Day

We had such a fun day! Josh had off work. It has been quite a while since we all spent the day and dinner together. This morning we went to the Disney Store to let Kayleigh pick out a outfit for her bday party. She walked around the store saying "I'm so excited!" Then for dinner we went to a hotdog place that Kayleigh and Josh both love. Kayleigh kept saying, "This is a good supper."Taylor was introduced to the pacifier this week. I am honestly not a big fan of the paci, but she seems to really like it. We figured since I went back to work this week and my boobs went with, whoever watched her would appreciate the paci. You may notice the wings in the picture. Well now in addition to Ernie and Bert, Kayleigh must also now wear her Tinkerbell outfit. Then it was bath and off to bed. I tried to get Kaykay playing with Taylor, but she is all of the sudden camera shy or more likely just being stubborn. She will point out all of Taylor's body parts and tickles her belly with kisses. Such sweet girls!

Busy Week

The girls had a very busy week. Three of their boy cousins were here from SD. Lukas, Cody, and Dylan were all here for the week. Then my Aunt Lorna and Uncle Roger were here from WI also. We were gone every day playing with different people. Maggie and Mike took Kayleigh to the water park one morning and she went on the big slide all by her self. She did a lot of swimming. We also went to Uncle Jared's & Auntie Carrie's house for dinner a few times. It was a very fun and exhausting week!

Kayleigh's Birthday Party

Kayleigh would like to invite everyone to her Tinkerbell birthday party. She is very excited to be turning two! She tells everyone she is having a Tinkerbell party when she is two at Emme's (Jared & Carrie's dog) house. They have a awesome new house with a great backyard and pool. We plan on renting one of those water blow up slides, so bring your suits! Hope to see everyone there!
