Failed photo attemp??

I bought Kolbie this adorable tutu dress several months ago and I wanted to get a picture of her in it before she out grows it. For some reason, today, some body did not want to share the attention.

After shoo-ing him to play inside for a few minutes, it was too late. She was already irritated by her big brother.

This is what I found when I came inside.

Priceless!

They love each other!

Daddy's week off

After Kaylon's Birthday weekend, Ryan got an unexpected week off from work. So we took advantage and were busy, busy, busy!

Rainforest Cafe

Kaylon is really discovering different animals right now, so we decided we would take a trip to Galveston's Rainforest Cafe. His loves elephants, so we sat right next to that display, and he couldn't have been more busy during dinner! I think Kolbie was just as intrigued with the atmosphere as Kaylon was!

The Zoo

The weather has been to perfect so we decided to go to the Zoo. It was Kolbie's 1st time, and Ryan's 1st time in YEARS!

Too much fun was had at the Zoo! We went back to see the elephants twice. He named then Mama Elephant, Daddy Elephant, and Baby Elephant. Daddy Elephant was a girl, but we let him have that one!

It was nap time by the time we left, so we are looking forward to going back for the train ride and seeing the animals we missed.

Bike Ride

We had plenty of time on our hands so we took Kolbie on her 1st bike ride. She still isn't quite big enough for the stroller, so she didn't last long before she was completely slumped over. But Kaylon loved it, as always!

We were so happy to have Daddy at home with us for almost a whole week!

Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary

9 years together, 3 years married. The most handsome son on the planet who keeps me on my toes, an angel baby girl who melts my heart, and the most wonderful husband who loves me more every day. What more can a girl ask for!

Kaylon's 2nd Birthday Bash

We decided to go a little more laid back on the bash this year, but had tons of birthday fun. Kaylon had lots of family show up to celebrate his day and it was the 1st year he had his little friends come and join in the fun! It was oh so cute!
We rented a birthday cake moonwalk for the back yard and it was a major hit. That thing was huge! I didn't plan any games for the party goers, instead we had a paint party! I bought several canvases for all the guest to paint with primary colors in hopes to hang them in our play room to display the ABC's and 123's. I also had some card stock paper there for the kiddos to paint if they wanted to take a painting home with them. Sounds fun, huh! I'd like to pat myself on the back for thinking that one up all on my own!
The cake was one of my favorite things this year. I designed it based on his plates and napkins that I bought. Aunt KK and I spent a whole day decorating it and only completed the bottom layer! Aunt KK had to finish it, and it tasted as good as it looked! The top was her peanut butter filling and chocolate cake and bottom layer was yellow cake with yummy strawberry filling. Hi five to Aunt KK and KK's Best Cake's!
The kiddo's were all having so much fun, I decided this year not to pull them away to open up the gifts, so we just opened them one by one with our guest as they were leaving. It seamed to work well.
I did get a few phone calls for the goodie bags that we handed out. I was trying to stick to primary colors and believe it or not it was hard to accomplish, but I found some super adorable airplane whistles to add to the bags...I know I know, whistles. You're Welcome!!
Thank you to everyone who came to join in the fun! Thanks to you, we had an awesome 2nd birthday bash!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet sweet boy!!

Oh, the joys of A TWO YEAR OLD in the house!!! Climbing on the counters, getting in the draws, asking "Why?" after I say anything! He spends as much time playing as he does in time out!! But we are sticking to our guns. I keep telling him, Mommy always wins! Eventually, he'll get it. At least I hope so.

Daddy has become Kaylon's best friend. Mommy is "good enough" all day long, until Daddy walks in the door, then it's "Daddy eat eat" "Daddy I want Milk" "Daddy fix." Really...Daddy can't leave his sight, and he has to get him everything. I'm not even good enough for diaper changes. When it comes to Kolbie, Daddy has a jealous boy on his hands.

He does love his "sissy" to pieces. Just today we showed up to class to pick him up from school, and all the kids ran up to see "the baby" and Kaylon was able to show her off giving her hugs and kisses and telling them "my Sissy, My Sissy." He was very proud.

My sweet boy has started climbing out of his crib at all hours of the night. Not sure how we are going to handle that, but I'm working on it!He has been so over the top adorable since he has found his "air guitar" a few months ago. He closes his eye's and nods his head while he's playing too. Oh, yeah he feels it! It's pretty ridiculously cute! Just in the last week or 2 he has also started drumming on everything. I don't know where he gets it from, but the kid has music in his bones.

Happy Happy Birthday to the most sweetest boy I know! Mommy loves you!

My China Doll

We were playing in the front yard while Daddy and Kaylon were cleaning the garage. I think they turned out pretty good...
