Birthday Celebrations at MawMaw's

Yesterday we joined the crew at MawMaw's to celebrate Maddison's birthday with a little Dora action. We also did a little something for Joe and Kylee for those that did or will miss their birthdays. It was a fun filled day of good food and lots of swimming. My friend Monique and her husband Shelby were able to come over with their little girl Gracie. It was great catching up. Thank you Aunt Holly for Kylee's seahorse, she seemed to fall in love with it immediately! Thank you MawMaw for hosting, once again.

Our 4th Anniversary

Thursday was our 4 year anniversary so we went out to celebrate last night. Thank you Gammy so much for watching Kylee so we could have a date night to ourselves! Kyle suprised me with a white table cloth dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House. Then we enjoyed a beer at a new local bar and caught a movie afterwards. To you Kyle:

We have been through so much these past 4 years and I am so greatful that God put you in my life. Year 1 we took a big leap of faith and started your own company, Year 2 we were chosen to return an angel to God, Year 3 we were blessed with our beautiful baby girl, and this year I have found a deeper love for you than I think I have ever known. Thank you for being my knight in shining armor. I love you.

Water Baby

Today was Kylee's frist time in a swimming pool. It took her a little while to warm up to it (literally) but she eventually got used to the idea. She already loves bath time so I figured this would be a field day for her. Because her pool has a canopy the water was a little cool so it took her a while to get comfortable. I also included a video of bath time from last night.

Mother's Day 2010

Last weekend was a great weekend to celebrate Mother's Day! Saturday we split the day between my work (I was on call), Val and Shane's, and Kirk and Angie's. It was a busy day but well worth the travel. After I worked a few hours we headed to Val and Shane's to celebrate with Kyle's mom. We enjoyed some yummy food and great company and then headed out to Kirk and Angie's where we celebrated with Mom and Dad. Kirk cooked some delicious BBQ and we enjoyed some great outdoor time. Thank you so much to everyone for hosting! Sunday I had an awesome Mother's Day of relaxation. Kylee got me half a dozen pink roses and Kyle cooked lunch and supper and was sure that I didn't have to do anything all day...except a little work from my job of course. It was the best first Mother's Day I could ever ask for...thank you Kyle and Kylee for all the love you give me!

Holly's Graduation Trip

Sorry it's taken me so long to post! I have been super busy and super tired on this end. I finally have a weekend at home to catch up and I'm loving it so far! These are a few pics from Holly's Graduation. We had such a great trip and thanks for having us Holly!

A New House for Buddy

We've been having issues with buddy using the bathroom in his crate when we leave him so we've decided to leave him outside while we're gone from now on. We needed a shelter for him to get out of the weather and we racked our brains on the cheapest solution. Well, this is it! Kyle spent $4 on this doghouse using scrap wood,spray paing, and a Rubbermaid container! Isn't he great?!

Bunny Ears and Bus Rides

While on our way to see MawMaw and PawPaw Friday we stopped by Gammy's and picked up Kylee's Easter presents from Nanny and Aunt Michelle. Thank you both so much, we all love them! Kylee had been playing with her new chair all weekend and wore her dress to church this morning. Before leaving for church we were sure to get a picture with her new set of ears! After church we joined the crowd in downtown Lafayette and checked out Festival Internationale. We all had a great time and can't wait to go again next year!


What a cute little Rabbit!

A Visit with MawMaw and PawPaw

Friday we loaded up and headed to MawMaw and PawPaw's for Kyle to do some electrical work on the new addition. It was a very nice and much needed visit. We even got to hang out with Nick which was great too!

First Day of Daycare

Yesterday was Kylee's first day at daycare. It was such a heartbreaking day...at least for me!! She woke up happy as can be, screamed and cried when I dropped her off, and was reluctant to come to me when I picked her up! Go figure, she was adjusted within one day. Today she didn't even cry when I dropped her off. That broke my hear too! LOL. I want her to be happy but I also want her to want her Mommy! :) So far we are very satisfied with the daycare and I think Kylee is too. I hope it continues to go well and I am so glad Kylee has a safe place to stay.

All dressed and ready to head out

Birthday Parites and Carnivals

This weekend has been a busy one. We managed to fit in 2 birthday parties and a carnival. Kylee had her share of playing outside, that's for sure! To start it off we went to Max's birthday party Saturday morning, headed to the carnival at Carly and Chloe's school in Church Point, and then today we went to Ethan's birthday party. To add to all of that we also completely cleaned out Kylee's room and reorganized. Whew! We are now officially pooped!!!
